A horrifying massacre occurred in Jabalia, northern Gaza. An entire residential block was blown up over the heads of its inhabitants. One house has completely vanished, along with its residents. In its place, there is a 20-meter-deep crater. This time, you won’t be bothered by

New #migrant Camps funded by Italy, built in Albania, a model for offshoring of #asylum processing. These "camps" across Europe are reminiscent of history. People are being placed in barbed wire cages, segregated & detained until they are "processed"
