The British government are absolutely humiliating themselves by having scores of police officers carrying seniors in their 80s off to jail, for protesting Israel’s genocide on Gaza. Keir Starmer is looking way too loyal to Israel. Why does he look so weak and compromised?

This #newarrival confronts the theft of works from Benin in 1897. It shows what the palace altar looked like before 1897 (left), and British soldiers in the act of looting (right).

One day they will be held to account - hopefully in this life and soon
When Sarah Hurwitz says "1.5 civilians" per combatant she is explicitly saying that every male over 14 or so years is valid for Israel to kill.
As with every single argument over death ratios.
On Israeli TV they simply include the entire confirmed death toll including babies as "terrorists killed"

According to the Gaza Rights Center, Israeli violations of the so‑called ceasefire in Gaza continued throughout the 47 days, during which Israeli attacks killed 350 Palestinians, including 198 of the most vulnerable groups, children, women, and the elderly, representing an average of 56.6%.

There’s a (verified) horrific video of the Israeli army executing two unarmed men and then desecrating their bodies with a bulldozer making the rounds. I’m not going to share it but I will make reference to it to emphasise that there is no ceasefire in Gaza, the West Bank or Lebanon.

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.
I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

Evil to the core
The IDF didn't just strike near a hospital. They systematically targeted and destroyed the equipment at the only cancer treatment facility in all of Gaza.
Let's be perfectly clear about the depths of evil we are witnessing. This is your US tax dollars at work.
