On AlJazeera’s nine a.m. news a few days ago I watched a young Englishman in distress -

 stood  by the Mahatma Gandhi statue in London, supporting peaceful supporters of Palestine Action, too frightened to speak to their interviewer for fear of being arrested.This is happening in England, the cradle of democracy, and where free speech had previously been a freedom cherished by her countrymen.

   It was apparent from the photograph that was bravely shown on the BBC website ( the usual timidity shown by the BBC News department apparently not extending this far)  that the protesters carrying banners sating “Support Palestine Action - I oppose the Genocide “ we’re mostly elderly and probably consisted of devout Christian’s and Quakers. I think that Churchill, a champion of free speech, would have been appalled at this incident and the draconian legislation which was too hastily introduced as a knee jerk reaction from this government, who have a track record of introducing legislation which has to be subsequently rescinded.

 

From the BDS movement.

 We must escalate pressure and peacefully disrupt all forms of complicity to contribute to ending Israel’s unspeakable genocide and to dismantling its regime of settler-colonial apartheid. Only then, can we enjoy freedom, justice, equality, and what Desmond Tutu calls “our full menu of rights.” 

Though You Lied Straight Faced!

 What’s driving this war is not the fear that Iran won’t sign a nuclear deal but the fear that it will.

Medieval times return - a 21st century holocaust. Shame on you. Disgrace to the silent.

 This week Dr. Feroze Sidhwa described to the UN Security Council his experiences treating victims of Israeli air and drone strikes in Gaza:

In Gaza, I operated in hospitals without sterility, electricity or anesthetics. Surgeries took place on crowded and filthy floors. Children died not because their injuries were unsurvivable, but because we lacked blood, antibiotics and the most basic supplies that are readily available in any large hospital anywhere else in the world. I did not see or treat a single combatant during my 5 weeks in Gaza. My patients were 6-year-olds with shrapnel in their heart and bullets in their brains, and pregnant women whose pelvises had been obliterated and their fetuses cut into while still in the womb. Mothers sheltering in the hospital cooked bread on hot plates in the emergency department during mass casualty events as we dealt with the reign of fire and death falling around us everywhere.

THE MAN OF EVIL.

 Responsible for the holocaust being inflicted on the Palestinian people - Benjamin Netanyahu.

                                         

#metoo said the BBC.

  An entirely engineered famine is being inflicted on some of the most destitute people on earth, who are living in makeshift tents amid toxic rubble, with the connivance of the world’s wealthiest countries. The countries that have allowed Israel to perpetrate this crime against innocent children and their mothers, who have armed it and run diplomatic cover for it, are as guilty as Israel itself as are the media who have crawled on the dark side of the road and failed to report the facts.
