Day and night strikes leave children dead and orphaned as genocide continues to escalate
Israel is again bombing civilian areas so heavily that what remained of entire districts is being flattened with mass casualties and children and families again targeted, with some entire family groups being wiped out yet again from the north to the south of the Strip. Palestinian journalists have managed to get video out:
As ever, Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy remain silent about these atrocities. Lammy has found time in the last hour to tweet about the suffering – of Ukrainians – and the ‘barbaric’ war – of Russia, and to demand a ‘full and unconditional ceasefire, but only between Russia and Ukraine:

What value does the US bring as a mediator if Israel can violate American-brokered agreements and flout verbal assurances without consequence?
The early morning massacres of over 1000 injured or murdered civilians on March 18 and 19 were described as an Israeli “tactic to force” the Palestinian Resistance to renegotiate the terms of the existing ceasefire agreement.
Throughout modern history, treaties and agreements have served as the foundation of international diplomacy, establishing a framework of mutual commitments. However, Israel has uniquely positioned itself as the only nation that consistently renegotiates agreements—often unilaterally—while blaming the other party for refusing to accept its ever-changing terms.
Israel’s approach has been marked by a predictable strategy: secure an agreement, later insist on altering its terms, and then accuse the Palestinians of obstruction when they refuse to comply with the revised conditions. This tactic has been a recurring feature in nearly every accord brokered by the US between Israel and other parties……….

“Israel [can] go all-out in committing mass atrocities and apartheid abuses while Zionist oligarchs like Miriam Adelson openly purchase western governments without having to worry about the damage it does to their public image, because any response to the damage it does to their public image can be reframed as “antisemitism” and used to advance their interests even further by stomping out civil rights.
People demonstrate against Israel’s genocidal atrocities? That’s antisemitism — those protesters need to be silenced, arrested, and deported. People object to blatant Zionist influence in their governments? Antisemitic conspiracy theories; we need more hate speech laws and internet censorship. Palestinians take up armed resistance against their oppressors? Israel is the victim of unprovoked attacks from Jew-hating Arabs …
… Israel is backed by the propaganda machine of the western empire — the most powerful weapon of mass psychological influence ever devised. If the western political-media class were not constantly running cover for Israel’s crimes and helping Zionism spin all opposition to Israel as antisemitism, Israel would not be able to pull off this freakish cognitive straddle where it is simultaneously both the aggressor and the victim at all times.”

And it is not only Israel that….
“is backed by the propaganda machine of the western empire — the most powerful weapon of mass psychological influence ever devised.”
One can find example after example over the past century, where The Officially Designated “Enemy” – from home-grown politicians to peoples sat on resources we want to plunder – are demonised by this propaganda machine to create a consensus among the terminally gullible.
