Ahed Tamimi and other Palestinians

I'd posted a link to the tweet. They've now deleted it, after being condemned so roundly. Even Stephen Pollard right wing editor of the right wing Jewish Chronicle went further.

Here's the original

There's a new tweet which is equally repugnant but not quite as easily shared...

"We would urge the IDF to ensure they take all measures to minimise civlian causalties " so we don't actually urge them

Think there are more than two countries on earth to prefer Trump, but yes it’s a good piece.

Important to recognise there are some in Israel who are condemning this

No, he's right, Trump is far less popular than Obama in places like Poland or Hungary.

Border charge... Exactly how many victims of Israeli fire fell on Israeli ground?

[ad hoc]

Exactly.

Has Maureen Lipman made any comment yet?

Brilliant interview with Noura Erakat. And on mainstream US TV to boot. Says everything like it is. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/how-ar...lence-in-gaza/

Just out of interest, what’s the reaction to the massacre on centrist Twitter and Facebook today? I’m willing to bet it’s something along the lines of “Yes, it’s regrettable but Hamas”/“States have the right to defend their borders” etc.

Mostly it's "Corbyn/leftists criticise Israel but don't criticise Assad what a hypocrite" without acknowledging that they've spent the whole time agitating for airstrikes on Syria, but aren't demanding anyone bombs downtown Tel Aviv.

I wouldn't expect anything else tbh

South Africa withdraws its ambassador -

“Given the indiscriminate [nature] and gravity of the latest Israeli attack, the South African government has taken a decision to recall Ambassador Sisa Ngombane with immediate effect until further notice,” Department of International Relations spokesperson Ndivhuwo Mabaya said on Monday.”

The Board of Deputies shows that like Labour Friends of Israel it too can be an utterly sickening and racist body.

Yet again, Corbyn proved right to have ignored these fucking ghouls.

Another good piece in ha'aretz talking about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza

"Netanyahu and the members of his security cabinet have been presented with repeated warnings about the economic collapse in Gaza, and in particular the collapse of the civil infrastructure, over the past six months. Data reported by Amos Harel in Haaretz shows the Israel’s security establishment has warned that about 95 percent of the water in the Gaza Strip is unfit to drinking and hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of sewage flow into the Mediterranean Sea every day – and also reach Israeli shores. The unemployment rate is nearing 60 percent.

The former coordinator of government activities in the territories, Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, said similar things at the Globes Business Conference in January: “The Gaza Strip is a failed region. 90 percent of the water is unfit for drinking and I can provide many more figures here. The problem is mostly that of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. But Israel is very much influenced by it. This is another factor and layer for the IDF’s security viewpoint,” said Mordechai."

Well, interestingly enough, Israel's government's justifications for mass killings of their opponents echo precisely, in tone and content and intent, Assad's justifications for mass killings of his opponents.

Regev on Channel Four News tonight, Jon Snow does try to take him on.

PM on Radio Four was good, Today this morning was horrendous.

The reports and interviews with the Red Cross doctors are harrowing. I suppose they are supporters of Hamas.

[Lang Spoon]

Sarah Sands and Humphrys are a poison on Radio 4. Can just hear him going on about the right to defend your borders. He’s a nasty know-nothing cnut and he’s revelling in saying the unsayable since Brexit. Retire ya grey faced fuck. Or peg it, I don’t care.

[Vicarious Thrillseeker]

It's not a border though, is it? This point keeps being missed by the media.

[Lang Spoon]

It’s the demarcation line of a prison camp. I was very surprised I see a Jeremy Bowen tweet about entering into Gaza making that very point.

[E10 Rifle]

Bowen's been a decent proper journalist over the years on this topic, to be fair
