Zionism allows Israelis to violently steal Palestinians' homes, but the Labour government thinks this isn't racist xitter.cf/MiddleEastEye/status/2…
A group of Israeli settlers have seized eight Palestinian homes on Wednesday in Jericho, located in the occupied West Bank.  Palestinian sources reported that the settlers, accompanied by their families, stormed the eight homes, which were empty at the time of the raid

Report from Qantara, where Israeli forces are continuing demolitions of civilian homes and infrastructure. On Wednesday a man documenting the destruction was murdered by an Israeli drone strike.
Israeli forces have begun demolishing the town of Qantara, Lebanon. 48 villages have been razed to the ground by the Israeli army, who are still occupying more than 60 towns and villages in Lebanon. This destruction is funded by the US and EU. This is Zionism.

Heavy rain is falling across the Gaza Strip as residents face harsh humanitarian conditions. Displaced families struggle with the cold inside makeshift tents that offer little protection from the rain and harsh weather, further worsening their suffering.

127 children killed per-day in Auschwitz in 5 years. 139 children killed per day in Gaza in 135 days. The difference between Gaza and Auschwitz is that the world still has an opportunity to stop the genocide in Gaza.

Today they came at dawn… Grabbed all the boys and men. Blindfolded. Taken away. Some will be… Tortured. Raped. Disappeared. EVERYDAY LIFE FOR PALESTINIANS.
