Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”
Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" — It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law
“I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.”

It’s obvious who in politics here is responsible for stoking tensions

This appealed to me because of the way it expands the classic illustration of equality and equity (we should always be striving for equity over equality) plus it's really on the nose with that capitalism section.

Idk guys if I had a choice between "offer additional security to a community that had just been the victim of a heinous crime" or "arrest people for holding bits of paper", I would consider that an easy choice and not cry in the national media about it stretching resources too thin trying to do both

That fascist Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir was allowed to enter the holding area and insult and berate those members of the flotilla who had been kidnapped shows how depraved this regime is. He did the same with Palestinian prisoners recently whose plight is obviously much much worse.

BREAKING: Heroic police officers save public from this terrifying terrorist who was holding a sign the government doesn’t like x
because there are so few problems locally for the police to deal with, they had to send them to drag anti-genocide protestors away in london
The PSNI sent over some of their own officers to help arrest peaceful protesters against the genocide today in London 😡

People recognised as refugees fleeing persecution & granted the right to live in the UK to be denied the right to be joined safely by their spouse & children.

This Labour govt is a moral void, a stinking darkness, an empty hollow of cowardice & contempt. #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Great that the Yanks are doing literal fascism, genuine actual fascism with their defence minister just rejecting any kind of rules of war, actual, full throated, Nazi-level fascism, and the whole of Europe just has to stay in military alliance with them, wonderful, great, not horrific at all

None since Labour were elected. Not one.
#UK #TransRights An FOI has just confirmed what all of us have feared: for the Youth gender services, since July 2024, not a single patient has been referred to commence HRT. And 22 have been moved from youth to adult services , also without treatment. This is scandalous.

Classic Blair. He is now proposing himself as the Empire's Regent of Gaza. A war criminal himself, he demands a five year appointment to run the site of Israel's genocide on behalf of Donald Trump in the finest tradition of White Settler Colonial projects www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The former prime minister has been in high-level planning talks over the territory's future, the BBC understands.

Israel are planning something horrendous for the Gaza aid flotilla.
This cannot be allowed to happen.

We need to make as much noise as possible.
Tell them they must give the flotilla safe passage.

Eyes on the flotilla.
Eyes on Palestine.

Let that sink in

"Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged."

Migrants didn’t wreck our communities. Stormont did. Decades of broken promises left us with a housing crisis, collapsing services, and division.
