‘feminists’, you there?

how far is israel allowed to go? each day i read with increasing incredulity and horror of their exhaustive and bloodthirsty violence. and how they indelibly blemish the fabric of humanity through novel and unusual cruelty

God, please have mercy on the people of palestine and please protect them. I cannot believe that over a year later, we are watching people being burned alive in tents.

Wow, Sky News managed to highlight the double standards in Western media in one post. -Israeli soldiers are “teenage victims” of a named attacker -Palestinian refugees are “people reportedly [to cast doubt] killed” by an unnamed attacker

Will we ever know the names & stories of 118,000+ people killed by Israel in Gaza? Or the people burned alive after Israeli strikes on Al Aqsa Hospital, where displaced Palestinians sheltered? The UK is complicit in these war crimes. End ALL arms sales & diplomatic support NOW.
