Gaza, I despair.

Belgium just intercepted two UK military shipments bound for Israel right at Liège Airport! 🚫✈️ Under strict new transit laws,
no arms-carrying planes allowed in Belgian airspace—zero exceptions. Even without a permit request,
authorities made it clear: access denied. Tensions are peaking! 🌍⚡

​so no change Burnham same as starmer

Cossy

It’s genocide, it’s horrific, it’s terribly sad.

Horrifically horrendous genocide ..

Killing babies and children and women & men without arms ! And they say they believe in God !

Satan is more realistic.

She is saying that the violence against the Palestinians is supported by the government, and that the settlements are illegal.

Violence towards the settlers

Report on BBC News just now, about settlers violence.
Mary Robinson speaking now.
She says it is 'Government policy' now.

'Independent and impartial medical care'
Surely everyone is entitled to that?

Thanks for the link. I'm happy to contribute to this.

Thanks for the charity link Wyllow

It has been said umpteen times that any anti semitic posts on GN are reported.

Neither is excusable.

Matters may be explained but that is not the same as being excused.

How about Antipalestinism?

Hardly surprising Aveline ? You are excusing antisemitism

Yes, I want to hear what Burnham, will do. There is pressure within the LP as well as outside. We do need to do more. My MP says it is under consideration along with other foreign policy matters - ie early days

It is hard however to act and keep the balance between different strong views and needs on this one

As regards ourselves charity wise, MSF is still involved. they cannot bring doctors in but are funding Palestinian run clinics.
It is also actively involved in the West Bank.

Here is the relevant donate page with information.

Led by Donkeys has been awarded £27, 216 in compensation for an anti genocide banner, removed at a demonstration in 2024, and disposed of by Veolia.

That is a useful post, thanks, choughdancer.
Will look up Zaytoun products.

'Plus where do you send money to help the people and children of Palestine.' There are quite a few; I regularly donate to 'Medical Aid for Palestinians' and 'War Child'. Another way to help is to buy Zaytoun products. Excellent quality and directly supports Palestinians.

Thanks to all who are giving updates.

This news from a young brave man Andrey who's an activist in Gaza trying to report whats happening, to stop settlers targeting Palestinians their homes. farms. Imagine he said being at the whims of the IDF in the illegally occupied Palestine.

❗️ Israel is preparing a massive terror campaign in the West Bank.

Checkpoints around Nablus and Ramallah are shut down, movement is heavily restricted, IDF is moving more troops into the region, and settler-terrorists are gathering to launch pogroms.

I can not understand why the people of Israel who suffered so very much during the holocaust can not see how history is repeating itself in Gaza .
Yes they have the right to defend themselves but there has to be a line that should not be crossed & in Gaza that line has been & is still being crossed.

At last West Bank matters are hitting new headlines: settlers actually set fire to a Mosque. Yes - not terrorists, but a Palestinian place of worship. This is appalling.

Read here:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjrv77gl4deo

"Israeli settlers set fire to mosques, cars and farm land in West Bank, Palestinians say"

And many remain silent. 😡

We would not tolerate it in the UK, any attacks on peaceful Mosques or Synagogue or Churches

If anyone gets Sky online, maybe have a look for the article?

Sky News online this morning had a headline about the Government last year discussing a plan to sanction Israel because of the West Bank violence.
Couldn't get into the article, sorry.
But this could be the time to bring that concept to the fore.
