Imagine Russia executed 15 Red Cross medics and first responders, burying them in a mass grave. Imagine it lied about this grave war crime. Imagine footage then proved this. Would the BBC frame that as 'Russia admits mistakes over medic killings in Ukraine'? No it would not.

We agree these deplorable attacks by Israel must end. However, words without action do nothing to bring an end to Israel's atrocities. The UK Government must: 🔴 Suspend all arms transfers to Israel 🔴 Hold all perpetrators accountable and end Israel’s impunity 🔴 Take all

The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.

I was one of the first intl doctors in Gaza in Dec. 2023, and I led the entire health response for a massive iNGO. How many more gruesome stories do you need from us? How much more trauma porn do you want us to perform before you actually take action?

This is possibly the worst analysis of Gaza deaths data I've seen so far. Almost every single thing in this post is wrong. Let's take it in turn: ❎"The majority of the reported fatalities are adult males" 43% of reported fatalities are adult males (18-55). 49% are men aged

So Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a flunkie goes "Deport!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

It is unbelievable how nonchalantly leaders like Kaja Kallas and Ursula von der Leyen continue to ignore (and stand against) intl law and the decisions of the highest intl Courts re Israel: among others, I shall remind them, the ICJ ordered Israel to: - withdraw its troops and remove
