Palestinian children scream and cry as Israeli settlers brutally beat their father before their eyes, leaving them terrified and helpless.

A video that Netanyahu does not want the world to see
Let the world know by sharing this
Tens of thousands of anti-Zionist rabbis and Jews gathered in the Barclays Center in New York City to say that the Zionist regime is a criminal and occupying gang and does not represent the Jews.

Irish author Sally Rooney’s books are no longer being distributed in the UK after she pledged royalties to #Palestine Action, banned under UK terrorism laws. How is standing up for innocent Palestinians being treated as support for terrorism?😔

64 YEARS OLD. WEARING A VEST MARKED PRESS. KICKED ABOUT 50 TIMES.
Heidi Levine, Washington Post photojournalist, covering the olive harvest near Abu Falah.
"They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times." Broken rib. Lacerations. A hand injury needing surgery. Her cameras and phone taken.
The Washington Post says it's "outraged by this unwarranted attack on a journalist doing her job."
Nothing here needs explaining away. She was marked as press, on the ground, and they kept going. 🧭

Finally, clear, unequivocal, irrefutable, and credible proof that Israel shoots children in Gaza. Impossible to deny.
Pure evil.

A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times.
92 per cent of those children had not been sentenced.
A third had not even been charged with an offence.
The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state. Its decades-long occupation is illegal.
The evidence has existed for a long time and has been repeatedly ignored by the U.K. and other governments and media. It now needs to be tested with Netanyahu appearing at the ICC.
In a disturbing development, on Oct 14th, the former head of Israel's Shin Bet, Ronan Bar, filed a law suit against Netanyahu, alleging the latter had received no less than twenty warnings of the precise character and of the approximate date of the Hamas attack. Formerly, nine warnings were cited in YNet, Ha'aretz and Maariv. It has now become increasingly unreasonable not to suppose that Netanyahu was a complicit actor in the Hamas attack, an organisation he had funded, directly and indirectly, for almost twenty years, and about which he possessed precise internal intelligence. Thus Netanyahu could not only have prevented the attack, but now appears to have been proactively enabling the attack, to manufacture a pretext to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while simultaneously using the attack to disrupt charges supported by three hundred witnesses that Netanyahu had presided over a twenty year reign of corruption, gangster-like coercion, malfeasance and repeated breaches of international law.

This was once Gaza, Israel have bulldozed everything then they will bury the rubble and hundreds of thousands of bodies under millions of tons of sands.
Then build on top of it.
Israel new settlements will literally be built on Genocide.
It's like Hitler building on Auschwitz.

This video was not filmed in Rafah. It was filmed in Jabalia.

Thames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and a half ago it was given a £3 billion bailout now it's asking for another £2.4 billion.
We really are being taken for mugs.

The violations in the West Bank do not stop
from north to south.
Israeli occupation bulldozers are uprooting thousands of olive trees, destroying Palestinian land, livelihoods, and generations of history. 🇵🇸

🇳🇴 Should other countries follow Norway’s lead and cut financial ties with Israel over human rights concerns? 🇮🇱
A) Yes 🟢
B) No 🔴

More proof of the complete absurdity of the proscription of Palestine Action.
What a stain on this government that people in this country are unable to buy and enjoy the work of one of this generation’s greatest writing talents.
De-proscribe Palestine Action now.
This has gone from unjustified to farcical and brings the current law into disrepute. It’s time for the law to be repealed.
So now it’s illegal to point out that it’s illegal to support Palestine Action.
@metpoliceuk - care to explain?
