Anas Al-Sharif maintains incredible composure as he realises what he is reporting
Palestinian Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif found out, as he reported on another Israeli bombing targeting family homes, that his family was among the victims killed and wounded – yet somehow maintains his composure to complete his report:
Approaching two hundred journalists have been targeted and murdered in Israel’s genocidal war on the people of Gaza, many of them with their families as Israel targeted their home, often after threats to stop reporting on Israel’s crimes or be killed. Many more have lost close family members, often repeatedly, or have suffered terrible wounds.
More journalists have been killed during the genocide than in the Second World War, the Vietnam war, or all the other wars and conflicts of the twenty-first century combined. Israel, clearly seeking to limit the flow of information and footage that have destroyed its pretence at democracy and decency, has also banned foreign journalists from reporting in Gaza, except for a hand-picked few allowed to ’embed’ with Israeli troops and see what their guards choose. UK and other western ‘mainstream’ have generally kept silent about the murder of Palestinian (and Lebanese) reporters.

Both of these girls’ parents have already been killed by Israel and now one has been hit by a car so her sister has to carry her
You can see the pain and despair in their eyes. That human filth Starmer thinks it is all self defence

Dear God…If there IS one.
No more will I look back on my own childhood and think I had it strenuous at best. I had paradise compared to those two pitiful wretches that are supposed to be children.
I thought I’d seen it all, but that will properly haunt me for a long time, as it should everyone with a conscience.
“She got hit by a car” just broke me. Quite clearly not as much as its broke the Gazans, because prior to the cameraman, obviously nobody’s stopped to help the godforsaken little mites.
I really do hope israel cops it for their thundercuntery.
Am I the only one to believe that at some point Israel will be obliterated in retaliation for the last 76 years. What are the Israelis going to say then …. “Show us some mercy … like we did to the Gazans?” “Do unto others what you would hope they would do unto you!”
During the past week or so in the small town in which I reside, many of the lampposts have been adorned with very large red poppies with the names of service personnel who lost their lives in the first and second world wars in preparation for the up-and-coming remembrance Sunday.
Something like this should be organised in the coming weeks and months across Britain up to Christmas with large white poppies containing the names and ages of Palestinian and Lebanese women and children murdered by the genocidal Zionists.
Along with blood-red ones containing the names of the military, political, religious, media, corporate and other appropriate War Criminal perpetrators, enablers, excusers, and supporters – preferably alongside a noose motif.

“I’m overwhelmed with shame”

Yet more heartbreak adding to the daily count as the Zionists continue to dehumanise themselves.
Was out the other day in my city campaigning to keep the winter fuel payment for pensioners and I always reflect on engaging with diverse working class people and other classes.
One right wing lumpen w class bloke repeated what some right wing lumpen middle class people also have said: “All those who protest over Palestine should go over there and fight” and I notice how they often smirk when they say it, are they really being racist and really meaning Asian protesters?
They have probably been fed this line by Right Wing Facebook groups & the Right Wing media & as they think they think for themselves they seem so certain plus they are often so angry.
But we are for Peace & are trying to stop the Genocide so why should we add to the butchery, with 200,000 Palestinians already killed, and probably 100,000 kids, plus 1,200 Israelis killed who were living on heavily armed illegal settlements, haven’t enough died?
Of course if the lumpen working class & middle class had critical thinking and reading skills they would see that the Occupation Force wants Palestine & others land, oil, gas & possibly a new canal in The Levant, so Palestinians & now others, are being slaughtered for profits and the USA, Europe & the UK want their share as thus their lumpen leaders deliberately turn a blind eye, and all else is political blather.
So Ceasefire Now & Peace plus A Political Solution – One Multi-Ethnic Democratic State of Palestine from The Rivers To The Sea & with The Right Of Palestinian Refugees to Return, based on the ideas of Palestinian intellectuals such as H.Eid & the late Edward Said.
Yours In Peace.
