It has,this is a land grab. Israel is creating hard infrastructure for a prolonged occupation and to create more settlements. They are quite open about it.

Asking them to take down stuff that is clearly false and can endanger people is not censorship.

This is exellent advice.Write the number of a solicitor on your arm. Because if you are arrested and searched,they will often hold on to your bags and things found in pockets,so having the number written on your arm can help a lot.

They said that last time it was a “tragic accident” so what was it this time?

Yeah, I just finished reading and I don’t understand why the world is not acting. Why can Israel act with impunity. The Western nations have clearly shown that the rules are different for non-white people and that their lives are not as valuable. The hypocrisy is shameful. These are people with dreams and hopes just like us. The language used by the government, describing Palestinians as vermin and animals emboldens the settlers. There seem to be few repercussions for killing a Palestinian, if any. Israel keeps saying ups this was a mistake and ups we bulldozed entire villages and ups, a mass grave. They say they will investigate but when they do, they find no wrong doing or just a misdemeanour or an error. The whole situation is a clusterfuck, any other country would be sanctioned at the least, and ostracised. And why are the other Arab nations not helping Palestine more? I understand the situation is complicated, but there are many diplomatic measures to put pressure on Israel without getting involved in the fighting.

Yes, many countries have sent food, but Israel has been throttling the supply by not letting trucks through at the crossings. Hence, the air drops and trying to build a pier.

Plus all the people under the rubble.

It looks like Netanyahu is trying to draw other countries into the war. The longer he can keep it going, the longer he has to try to shore up his position. Once the war is over, so is Netanyahu.

Thank you, that was fascinating. Especially the part about how trauma goes through generations.

I thought this sounded insane but the mirror, the times, the daily mail and others are also reporting it. We live in interesting times.

She might also have a high rent, she will not have got any benefits till her savings fall below 16k and only got full benefits after it falls below 6k.

And then employers moan that nobody wants to work and that young people all leave the country.

Yes, they tried it before, more than once, but it turned into a complete clusterfuck. The placements were meant to teach people new skills to help them find work. But most placements ended up being stocking shelves and other completely unskilled jobs. Employers also didn’t particularly want to be supervising people who clearly didn’t want to be there, let alone spend time teaching them new skills. So these placements just provided cheap labour, since the government paid employers to take them on. It also led to people being fired under spurious reasons only to find themselves being placed themselves at their previous employer.

I agree with everything you said, and I do think the BBC is amazing. But for me and many people, the reality is that it is just too expensive . I am on a very limited budged and simply can’t afford it. I also don’t have any other subscriptions. I wish they scrambled their signal and people could choose to subscribe for a month and then drop it when they can’t afford it. I should not be forced to pay for a service when I don’t want it. I haven’t owned a TV in over a decade.
Furthermore, I did ring them up and informed them of not needing a licence, and it worked for a while but then they started with the threatening letters again, they are pretty nasty in tone, which I find appealing.

“Some reported Israeli soldiers firing at them and said they passed bodies strewn alongside the road.”

You clearly didn’t read the article and read only the headline.

This woman is almost cartoon level type of evil. Even for a Tory.
