This is one of the greatest crimes of the 21st century and we are only just starting to see the horror of it. What will be found when the rubble finally starts to be cleared? How many bodies will be found?

There will never be sufficient justice for this, the greatest crime of this decade. #Gaza

Meanwhile, in England, a COVID wave is definitely underway.
Typically waves in England have preceded those in 🇨🇦 by a month or so.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.

TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.

BBC News's John Simpson hitting the nail on the head:

"What this doesn't do in any way is sort out the Palestinian question"

"What it does is stop the agony that people in Gaza have been suffering for two years"

"But it doesn't create a future path for them"

"Maybe that can come"

The bbc focussing on what the ceasefire means for the hostages way more than what it means for Gazans, again seeing that disproportionately we’ve become accustomed to for years, this isn’t new, and it’s certainly not ok

While Israelis celebrated the return of captives from Gaza, Israel warned Palestinian families against holding celebrations over the return of prisoners – some who had been held for decades. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh explains.

Police are there to enforce the law, not to lobby for legislation of any kind - that’s the job of others: civilians, politicians, media, NGOs, etc.
Cops should stay in their lane.
The further we allow them to go in behaving like this arrogant union leader, the more 🇺🇸American we will become.

What a BS article - Canada is the innocent bystander being threatened by an orange dictator. We are doing what we feel is right to peacefully protest against his words and actions.

If US companies are so concerned about the loss of business, they should speak out against Trump

There’s something sinister going on here, other than victim blaming.
This is normalizing portraying Canada as the enemy.

CNN is carrying Trump’s water.

If gullible, complacent Americans see Canada as a hostile nation, it’s OK for the US to punish & annex. #ElbowsUp
