Israel has been systematically torturing Palestinians for 40+ years. Easily one of the two or three most well documented, persistent patterns of human rights abuse in the last half century. And still, horrifyingly, it continues to get worse. And no accountability, after decades.

When Palestinians in Gaza are ethnically cleansed, the NYT says they’re “on the Move”

'In over 30 years of studying and engaging with communities affected by displacement, I have never seen a shocking atrocity like this.'

Shocking atrocity televised, day after day, rationalised and condoned by most western countries, and tolerated by most of the rest.…

my uber driver just shared with me his belief that trends in human society are determined by the government waterboarding aliens until they pick a thing to be popular, and that’s why everyone suddenly had an air fryer at the same time. 1000 out of 5 stars

We are now at the point where the IDF is dropping flyers in the north telling Palestinians to flee to the south and in the south telling them to flee to the north

While it is a dream come true to be in The Guardian, the context is closer to a nightmare. 5 infant deaths from #pertussis in the 1st quarter is tragic. This should not be happening, our #vaccine #PublicHealth system needs injecting with resources, creativity & agility. #ChildHealth

Racists should never be in classrooms.

Just a further thought on this case - this child *did what the Home Office say they want him to do* - he didn’t take a small boat, he made an official visa application to come here - and the HO’s response is refusal, delay while his appeal's heard, & then these miserable excuses
