Haaretz’s Yaniv Kubovich reports that Israel plans to seize 75% of Gaza and relocate more than 1,3 million Palestinians in the upcoming offensive, ultimately forcing the entire population into three military zones with food supplies strictly controlled by GHF/Israel.
Essentially three concentration camps, where the remaining Gazan population will be slowly starved.
JPMorgan Chase, one of the world’s largest banks threatened to leave the UK if the government increased tax on banks at last year’s autumn budget.
This is so much bollocks. The UK is one of the world’s biggest financial centres. There is no way this bank would leave. Reeves should have called their bluff. Instead she gave in and made the rest of us poorer.
"A truth is dawning: that this will be remembered as one of history’s great crimes. Right now, the UN warns that 14,000 babies could perish in the next 48 hours without aid"

"We all are sick and tired of having to recount stories of utter horror, of what is going on here, the extent of the suffering that is going on there. And all we hear are words basically… History will judge what is going on here, and it will not judge us kindly for having ignored it.”

"We are currently witnessing the same crimes committed 77 years ago with one key difference: now, the Israeli Occupation Forces are carrying out this genocide at a much greater scale thanks to Microsoft cloud and AI technology.”

Not watching #Eurovision on principle.
Didn't watch it last year, either.
Or the year before.
I don't agree with normalising genocide.

For the first time, the growth in China’s clean power generation has caused the nation’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to fall despite rapid power demand growth.
The new analysis for Carbon Brief shows that China’s emissions were down 1.6% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025 and by 1% in the latest 12 months.

"The gun-toting, stone-throwing, orchard-burning, house-torching settlers are from Texas, London and Paris. And so are many of the soldiers – some of them volunteers from western countries – who are currently slaughtering and enforcing the starvation of children in Gaza"

"The thing you must understand about starving children is they die so much quicker than adults. They suddenly fade away when an adult might have hung on a few weeks. This means a starvation blockade is primarily the mass murder of children"

"It’s worth noting that 116,000 tons of food sits at the Gaza border and Israel is refusing to allow that food in which means it’s refusing to save the lives of all those children. Imagine being able to save a starving child and refusing to do so. Now imagine refusing to save 290,000 children. The level of evil is incomprehensible"

"The vital role of communities as growers and foragers in urban resilience has largely been overlooked by city officials, urban planners and developers. Yet, these community-led efforts are bringing more life and vitality to urban spaces"

"Project 2025, the thing that he is seeking to deliver, deliberately set out to destroy the idea of the nation state, and its right to intervene in an economy and its right to supply services. That is what he wants to do. We need politicians who will understand that the reaction to the catastrophe that he's going to create as a result requires them to deliver exactly the things that he does not want"

Can Starmer and his flaccid government members take note in the UK?
"So let’s consider the latest..The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, has publicly confessed to deliberately starving the Palestinian population.."

"Meta has removed over 90,000 posts since 7 October within 30 seconds of Israel making the request. In other words, no consideration was put into these decisions, the requests were just accepted. A whopping 38.8 million posts were acted upon in total, meaning they were either removed, suppressed, or the user was banned"

"Most of our writers lost their homes. They lost their laptops. They don’t have electricity or internet connection. But they write their stories on their phones, wait a few days for internet connection and then submit them to us. Every month we publish 35 to 40 stories.”
“We’re chronicling history in Gaza, not by facts and statistics and news stories, but by the lived experiences of the people. It’s not a political project: it’s a human project.”
