BBC News reporting on Israel deliberating destroying Gaza infrastructure

Donald Trump addressed the Israeli parliament (Knesset) earlier this afternoon.

“Bibi would call me for this weapon, for that weapon…. I would give them to him…. You put them to “good use”.

He adds, "It will be the golden age of Israel".

More evidence of his complicity in a genocide.

Seems you don't know how devolution works. You are probably unaware that the Labour government did not cover the cost of increased Employer Contributions paid in the public sector in Scotland.

John Swinney, "We must not resign ourselves to a future defined by Brexit"

"Where our NHS is freed once and for all, from the threat of Westminster's creeping privitisation"

"Now is the time for Scotland to become self independent"

Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

Hind Rajab should have won the Nobel Peace Prize.

A 5 year old trapped in a car and shot 355 times by Israel while they murdered the Paramedics who tried to help her.

This sacrifice should have ended Israel and the war.
