Many Palestinians fear Israel and the U.S. will move to forcibly displace them from Gaza. On Thursday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog met in Davos with the leader of Somalia’s breakaway Somaliland region. Israel recently became the first nation to recognize Somaliland as an independent nation.

As Palestinians suffer under an ongoing project of apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide, perpetrated by Israel and fueled by the United States and other Western countries, its future is being determined by a pack of jackals, salivating over the carcass of Gazan society.

Good on you, Philip! Never turn away from this.
Israel bans white Western journalists from Gaza (I have volunteered to go there) so it can murder brown Arab journalists with impunity - mind you, I'd say they'd have no qualms about killing us too, if they had the chance.
And the West's response? Silence and complicity.
Three journalists on their way to film a displacement camp in central Gaza were among at least 11 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces on Wednesday. Their vehicle was known to the Israeli military and their work was sponsored by the Egyptian Relief Committee www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

International law died many deaths over the last 26 years: in Iraq, in Palestine, in Ukraine... Every time, people accepted it because the violations happened in “peripheral” places. And now, as it always does throughout history, the periphery has caught up with the center, and it looks grim.

The Gaza "Board of Peace"....has no Palestinian member.

- 3 property developers
- A former CEO of Mastercard
- 2 billionaires

In the UK soldiers lifted people of the street and raided houses, busting the door and dragging kids from their beds. I know this because I was one of those children held shaking with cold and barefoot at gun point while other armed men emptied the contents of my mother’s hot press onto the floor.
One more, I am begging English commentators and journalists to remember what the UK did in Northern Ireland.

Of course what's occurring in the US could happen in the UK! It already fecking did.

In 2025, Israeli settlers, backed by the army, displaced rural Palestinian communities in the West Bank at unprecedented rates. It is part of Israel's escalating strategy to take control of as much of the territory as possible.

Pictures from Gaza Strip are horrifying.

How come no-one is asking why Israel's IDF had to turn practically all of the Strip into rubble to defeat a relatively small Hamas army?

Hamas neither defeated nor destroyed (unlike Gaza Strip) & is now refusing to disarm.

War, or land clearance operation?

Territorial integrity and sovereignty are fundamental principles of international law. They are essential for Europe and for the international community as a whole.
