How many Palestinian lives is sufficient? on 07:33 - Oct 29 by GlasgowBlue
Who has Starmer and his government been captured by?
So the man most likely on here to push the narrative that the UN is a front for antisemites and terrorists, that killed journalists are likely terrorists and pretty much back any fluff the right wing Israeli government pushes makes an appearance and that is the thing you pick up on. Not sure how you sleep at night.

There are people that are victims of propaganda, and those that spread it. I'm under no illusion as to what category he falls under and have no wish to engage whatsoever.

I think we all know who you mean when you say Starmer and his Government have been captured. At least have the balls to say who you mean.
Unicef spokesperson James Elder has been answering questions from the media about last night’s vote in the Israeli parliament that would effectively ban Unrwa, the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency, from operating within Israel.
“If Unrwa is unable to operate, it’ll likely see the collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza,” Elder was quoted by Reuters as having said. “So a decision such as this suddenly means that a new way has been found to kill children,” he added.
Other UN agencies at the media briefing said it would be impossible to fill the void left by Unrwa, the main UN organisation working on the ground in Gaza to provide emergency relief to Palestinian people.
“It is indispensable and there is no alternative to it at this point,” UN humanitarian office spokesperson Jens Laerke said, as Israel’s ongoing assault on the territory is worsening already dire conditions in which Palestinians face widespread shortages of food, water and medicine.
In response to a question about whether the ban represented a form of collective punishment against Palestinians, he said:
"I think it is a fair description of what they have decided here, if implemented, that this would add to the acts of collective punishment that we have seen imposed on Gaza."

My fear is that if Trump wins next week, he will give the green light for this to escalate to the West Bank with a view to full scale annexation. Trump is no doubt ignorant to the history, reckless when it comes to consequences, and largely funded by the apocalyptic Christian Zionist movement. It's very worrying.

'The soldiers have ordered the men to strip to their underwear. Even some of the elderly ones. They gaze up at whoever is taking the photograph. It is almost certainly an Israeli soldier...The little girl is looking away...The photo was taken a week ago...we began searching for the child. Israel does not allow the BBC or other international media access to Gaza to report independently, so the BBC depends on a trusted network of freelance journalists...The message on the phone read: “We have found her!” Julia Abu Warda, aged three, was alive...Five times the family was displaced in the last 21 days. Each time they were running from air strikes and gunfire...On the day the photo was taken they heard an Israeli drone broadcasting a warning to evacuate...“There were soldiers on the tanks and soldiers on the ground. They approached the people and started firing above their heads...She started screaming and told me she wanted her mother.”...Then Mohammed disclosed to our colleague the deep trauma Julia had suffered, before that day of their flight from Jabalia to Gaza City. She had a favourite cousin. His name was Yahya and he was seven years old. They used to play together in the street. About two weeks ago Yahya was in the street when the Israelis launched a drone strike. The child was killed.'
The day after an Israeli minister called for the annexation of the West Bank, Trump's pick for ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, doesn't hold out much hope for the Palestinians.
Huckabee has a track record of hard-line, occasionally provocative, pro-Israel rhetoric and previously said Israel has a rightful claim to the West Bank. In 2018, he said he dreamed of building a “holiday home” in the West Bank.

So it turns out that there are no red lines that Biden and co will follow through on regarding Israeli actions in Gaza. Complicit.

Against all logic I was hoping that the Biden administration and the Harris challenge would have a bit of substance at the end. Of course, it's turned out to be a limp, unfocussed and utterly useless instrument at a time when the world was crying out for strength.
The Democrats there and decent human beings around the world are going to have to change strategy a little to face down the monster of right wing extremists in the ME and closer to home.
"Our research reveals a stark reality: the true scale of traumatic injury deaths in Gaza is higher than reported," lead author Zeina Jamaluddine told Reuters.
Save the remaining hostages, ceasefire now.
Edit....or maybe just carry on killing them. The left-leaning Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the Israeli military has said it suspected Hamza and Youssef were killed in one of its strikes, given their bodies were found next to those of dead militants. A military spokesperson said this week that Youssef Ziyadne had not died recently.

Indeed.
Looking at the level of devastation it's certainly not hard to believe the Lancet figures.
SB
Heard a staggering and appalling clip yesterday from the soon to be ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee.
In reference to Golan Heights and West Bank, he objected ot the idea that Israel was an occupying force because God gave them the land thousands of years ago.
Seriously...

And with not much in the way of functioning hospitals and administration, there must be a much higher proportion of casualties not being accounted for at all in recent months in the figures that are produced.

Someone should point out that was around when America was given to the indigenous tribes and Greenland to the penguins too.
Or maybe not the last part as Trump will claim the peguins as US citizens.

Must be true, it's in an old book and everything.
That would be even more hilarious if it wasn't exactly this kinda thinking that's led to the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent women and children

It tells us that the US are now likely to support Israel's approach (which is essentially the same).
Notably Putin believes that he is not an occupier of Ukraine, because historically its part of Russia....

They all seem to fail to see the elasticity of history. How it changes and shifts through time. Instead fixating on 1 period of time and projecting that thats the 1 and only history.
Though at the same time I think that South Norfolk should be handed over to the descendants of the iceni..
