Watching videos of police dragging away grannies for holding an anti genocide bit of card, thinking about the time the Met buried reports that one of their officers was a predator, then after he used police ID to kidnap, rape & murder a woman, they then arrested women for holding a vigil for her.

The Hamas attack on October 7 was a horrendous crime against humanity. But the only relationship between it and the even greater crimes against humanity being perpetrated in Gaza today is that it is being used as an excuse for what certain Israeli ministers and generals have long wanted to do.
