Oh sure, you wouldn’t pick sides. Your rant is so impartial. And what flag? And talking of the IRA, did Britain bomb Ireland in response to the IRA’s attacks on its mainland? No it didn’t. Now, try actually looking at B’Tselem’s website.

And imagine if the hostages, many held not in tunnels but in Gazan homes, had not been killed in Israel’s vicious bombardment. And imagine if the Palestinian prisoners released by Israel as part of the last deal, weren’t being rearrested.

Oh you want to play that game, do you? OK imagine if Palestinians hadn’t been suffering many years of oppression from apartheid Israel. You don’t know about that? Let Israeli Human Rights organisation educate you. Try actually looking through their archive. www.btselem.org/about_btselem

So do I. Sadly, Netanyahu doesn’t, as most Israelis know.

The tide is turning. The West’s leaders and media are now belatedly expressing their horror at Israel’s brutality, which vastly overshadows Hamas’s. BTW there is no evidence of widespread rape on 7/10/23z

Your heart has not been affected by the many decades of Israel’s unjust oppression of Palestinians? Maybe you don’t know. Well, now you can’t say no-one told you. www.btselem.org/about_btselem

I’m afraid I can’t do that any more than you can. Sadly, Netanyahu is not interested in bringing the hostages home, as most Israelis know. He wants to prolong the genocide on the Palestinians until there are none left. It’s called ethnic cleansing. Why don’t you know this?

Erm … I’m convinced already!

Is Twitter down? Just been over for a quick look and thought my broadband was playing up.

No evidence that Hamas raped anyone. Israel’s Chief Prosecutor couldn’t find a single complaint of rape or sexual abuse arising from Oct 7. Next you’ll be saying they beheaded babies and baked them in ovens!

Never was there a more striking image of a man who has lost his soul than the expressionless stare of Marco Rubio standing alongside the gurning self-satisfied Bibi Netanyahu this weekend.

Victoria Derbyshire in the last hour has posted it here, much later than on X.

Victoria Coates is President Trump’s former deputy national security advisor, now at the US Heritage Foundation think tank.

I asked her *how* President Trump wld go about getting 2m Palestinians out of Gaza

Then I can’t help you because I couldn’t find anything like it on BlueSky. That’s my point.

Bibi’s own parliament know what he’s up to - deliberately sabotaging the peace deal. www.facebook.com/share/v/18cj...

The Israeli Knesset know Netanyahu is deliberately sabotaging the deal.

What we want to know is, if they refuse to leave Gaza, what would be the mechanism of forcing them out? Dare I say “cattle trains”?

Yes it was heartening. Here is a clip of an interview with one of Trump’s people.

Here you go!

But other than my post, I see little mention of it here, unlike X/Twitter. I hate that cesspit but I do find more news on it. BlueSky will only be as good as we make it.

I would have thought that should be reason to celebrate, after 15 months of pro-Israel BBC & MSM bias.

Victoria Derbyshire on BBC Newsnight last night actually features a Palestinian playwright talking about his parents’ life in Gaza, for once the BBC is not biased towards Israel, and what do I find on BlueSky? S i l e n c e ….

Then let us meet in solidarity.

2/ And here in the UK we don’t have any reason to feel superior either. It has happened in our name also. F**k the Special Relationship! Shameful beyond words!

But you did collectively. You could have insisted on a good candidate prepared to stand up to the Israel Lobby. But the choice amounted to “Dumb and Dumber”. I don’t enjoy being hard on you but you did mostly ALL turn your face away & walk on the other side of the most depraved genocide. 1/
