It's almost as if he wants the ceasefire to break down...?

Just an aside - I'm getting pretty tired of this kind of language:

the UN’s top investigator told Politico that Trump’s plan for the “forcible displacement of an occupied group is an international crime, and amounts to ethnic cleansing”.

Amounts to, is tantamount to, is ethnic cleansing by another name ....

No, it IS ethnic cleansing. That's exactly what it is.

It's also a war crime and a crime against humanity, as legally defined.

Starmer (and Badenoch, obviously) think it was wrong to give this Gazan family asylum. Presumably because they're at risk of death from the wrong people.

More because they're the wrong kind of people. If they were Orthodox Christians, then our political leaders wouldn't have to run scared of what Reform will think.

Yeah, probably a combination:
1) they're Muslims,
2) we can't admit that our beloved Israel has made Gaza a far more deadly place than Ukraine.

Trump's 'Trump Gaza' video is next level narcissism. To post such a despicable statement of massive criminal intent has even disgusted some Truth Social users. Given Musk's prominence in the video I imagine he had a hand in it too.

What someone needs to do is produce a similar 'Hitler Warsaw' video about how the Nazis could turn the Warsaw ghetto into a rich man's playground once those inconvenient residents have been eliminated.

As an aside - the parallels between the ghetto and Gaza are chilling:

Another day, another war crime.

Electricity cut off now too another war crime

Meanwhile I see some journalists are basically saying the alawhites are being directed from Israel, anything but an independent Democratic Syria for them. The syrian army will now be painted as monsters and sanctions remain in place until a US and Israel friendly government/dictator can be found

It seems the crimes committed by the syrian army may have been carried out by chechen Turkish and uighur militas, hopefully this does not escalate

Full scale war crimes recommence. There is no pretext.

The UK says nothing, other than correcting foreign secretary David Lammy for his unusually truthful outburst on the matter of Israel's siege. He had said Israel had breached humanitarian law; Starmer thought it important to correct him and say that Israel was only 'at risk' of breaching humanitarian law. Well done Starmer, that's certainly the point we want you to raise publicly. We certainly wouldn't want you speaking out against the clear war crimes, crimes against humanity, probable genocide, and over half a century of illegal occupation. Lets wait till they've killed every Gazan first shall we, then you can wring your hands a bit. You evil cunt.

One of those far right scumbags is back in government so this is their list of demands, back to war and cleansing

A pity lammy rowed back on his comments, thought someone might have had a bit of spine

We'll never know what Lammy was thinking. Slip of the tongue? Or did he actually think that this is so clear, so undisputable, that we have to call this spade a spade. He reckoned without Starmer's utter lack of conscience.

There must be a playbook in No.10:
Never accuse Israel of war crimes.
Never call for Israel to leave the occupied territories.
Always assist Israel, no matter what (but don't talk about it).
Dead Israelis are people, dead Palestinians are statistics.
Russian invasion, occupation, annexation, killing bad.
Israeli invasion, occupation, annexation, killing okay (but let's not talk about it).
Hamas killing obscene and monstrous (and let's always talk about it).

Linsey hilstrom was pretty adamant on c4 news last night that the gaza strip will quickly become unliveable and that people are going to leave soon

Pretty remarkable testimony from 2 american doctors on the show last night about performing surgery with construction equipment and without antibiotics or disinfectant...... how does this shit not go viral?

This is genocide. No aid, no electricity, no medical supplies, lots of bombs. The only question is whether hundreds of thousands will die or millions.

The UK should get on the right side of history. Wes Streeting says it's intolerable but we continue to provide arms, intelligence, logistical and political support. We continue to trade with this monstrous regime. We do not recognise the state of Palestine.

True, her language was noticeably stronger than usual.

Deliberate killing of medical and rescue workers:

We should not be supporting this despicable state.

Great. The police will be given even more powers to stop protests. They already banned a Gaza march in London which didn't go past a synagogue; what will the police do with even more power? They could stop any urban march (because places of worship are everywhere, and anyone can claim to be intimidated). Yes, mosques were attacked in last summer's riots but, believe it or not, that's already against the law.
