Two-thirds of the #Gaza Strip are under Israeli displacement orders or in 'no go' zones.
All crossings are completely closed for incoming supplies - now for the 2nd month.
Humanitarian operations are obstructed.
Nowhere is safe. #CeasefireNow

'Buckley’s portrait of a “person-shaped receptacle” with no particular attachment to gender is deftly done.'

'Jonathan Buckley’s strange, sly and self-assured novel, in which both nothing and everything happens, is about thinking and overthinking.'

Here is the Gaza documentary that the enfeebled BBC, our patsy Government and the Israeli Ambassador don't think that you should now see. Do share. Widely. rumble.com/v6nm6n9-bbc-gaza-…

Unimaginable destruction in Gaza: homes, schools, hospitals reduced to rubble.
Survivors tell me we have to bear witness.
And that we must do more: to protect them, to deliver lifesaving aid, to maintain the ceasefire, to help them rebuild.

This story broke hours ago, but Western media is ignoring it for now. NYT, WaPo, CNN, BBC, AP, Reuters…none of them have reported that the Gaza death toll is now nearly 62,000 Palestinians.
Details of Israel’s genocide will continue to reveal itself, how much will they ignore?

Israeli apologism on the BBC
Mahmoud Rostom has just returned to his destroyed home in Khan Younis & he mentions the starvation people are suffering, caused by Israel
The interviewer cant let that pass (who is wanted by the ICC for using starvation as a weapon of war @BBCNews?)

Imagine a two year old Israeli girl had just been shot dead by Hamas militants.
It would lead every bulletin, be splashed on every front page.
It would be presented as cast iron evidence of unforgivable, depraved evil.
Not here, though. Palestinian life simply does not matter.

This is completely ridiculous, @jondonnisonbbc.
Removing the Palestinians from Gaza is ethnic cleansing.
It doesn't "sound like" ethnic cleansing. It is factually ethnic cleansing.
This is dire "journalism" and you should be ashamed of it.

"Amongst Palestinians they've gone down like a lead balloon.... the words [Trump] used, that Gaza should be cleaned out, for many Palestinians, well that will just sound like ethnic cleansing"
BBC reporter Jon Donnison unable or unwilling to report facts. It is ethnic cleansing.
