Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.

But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.

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

The ancient olive trees are gone and many wells have been filled with concrete. Is there any legal recourse? Its a manmade catastrophe. How are the people to rebuild the shattered remains of their lives?

Now that Palestinians are returning to a decimated land, uninhabitable by most standards, what happens to the war criminals?

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

I'm very concerned about all the #GlobalSumudFlotilla detainees, but especially Hannah Schafer, who seems likely to be held in extended detention in Israel. Israeli armed forces have committed grave and multiple breaches of international law in attacking the flotilla and mistreating its crew.

Four Scots have been kidnapped by the Israeli military while trying to deliver lifesaving food and medical supplies to starving Palestinians as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla.

The UK government must intervene, and this genocide must be brought to an end.

The Prime Minister could not bring himself to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza during his one-hour conference speech.

We know why: if he did, he would be admitting his government's complicity in the greatest crime of our time.

End all military cooperation with Israel, now.
