An end to Israel’s merciless killing is of course something to celebrate.

But make no mistake: this is all part of Trump and Netanyahu’s plan.

With the world busy celebrating, they’re busy selling Palestine to the highest bidder.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

One of the many reasons I love @medact.bsky.social is because they have the courage to speak the truth.

So whilst the majority of NGOs applaud Trump’s deal, it’s heartening to see this statement call it what it is: a colonial project that robs Palestine of autonomy.

The death rate among Palestinian children aged 9-14 grew NINEFOLD following October 2023.

The actual rate will be EVEN higher.

Yet genocide backers still argue that ‘Israel doesn’t target children’.

This is how you do it.

In recent days, the BBC etc have been trying to depict Israel’s genocide as an ‘unfortunate episode’ involving two equally culpable sides.

Shame on them, and credit to @scotnational.bsky.social for speaking the truth.

This is why we should all be angry about the use of asylum hotels. Private firms raking in millions while people forced to live in these hotels endure appalling conditions.

People seeking safety and UK taxpayers are losing out and the only winners are millionaire companies.

Asylum hotel provider makes £180m profit despite claims of inedible food and rationed loo paper

Asylum seekers and charities tell BBC of "terrible" conditions as accommodation provider makes millions.

Health workers from overseas prop up an NHS deliberately starved of funds (so that private hands can extract profit).

Yet how does this Government repay them? A decade of destitution and uncertainty.

Health care is just one sector out of many that could face crisis because of this government's ludicrous proposals to make permanent settlement harder (for some impossible) to get in the UK.

Why would ppl want to build a life here to be treated like this?

Starmer tells people protesting a genocide to ‘respect grief’.

Not only does he weaponise - literally - the perpetrators of said genocide, he’s weaponising a tragedy to suppress protest.

Dark.

If opposing a genocide is 'un-British', then the UK Government have achieved maximum British points.

Because they've spent the last two years supporting one.

But Governments are far from the only problem. The silence from humanitarian orgs is deafening.

As @tammam.bsky.social says, many see the flotilla as 'activism, not humanitarianism'. In taking this lofty, sneering position, they become complicit. They perpetuate suffering.

They shame themselves.

Baby formula, prosthetic limbs and nappies now sink beneath the waves.

Scores of people detained. Their crime? Intervening in one of the darkest chapters in human history.

Meanwhile, Governments stand idly by. Handwringing, never condemning.

Israel has kidnapped hundreds of people in international waters.

They were trying to break an illegal siege which is starving the people of Gaza.

The Labour Party banned our journalists from its annual conference so we stood outside asking ministers and MPs why the government won't call Gaza a genocide.

Abolitionist approaches to health show us a different path: one where care is truly universal, not conditional (on one’s legal status). One where we dismantle violent systems and build alternatives rooted in justice, equity and solidarity.

An abolitionist approach to health offers a vision where care is accessible to all, and violence no longer defines the systems that affect our wellbeing.
