Journalist and author Antony Loewenstein examines Israeli impunity for its war on Gaza and argues that the push for accountability is now likely to emerge from the Global South.

The western media always refers to “the hostages” as those held by Hamas.

Apparently they are too lazy to access the readily available evidence,
or so imbued with an attitude of dehumanising and ignoring Palestinians (aka racism),
that they rarely mention the hundreds of hostages held by Israel.
diplomatofnight.com
Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.
Among other things, according to the decision:

- 250 security prisoners will be released.  
- 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released.  
- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.  
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

It almost makes sense why wages have stagnated for nearly a quarter of a century. People have to work harder to get by, that robs us of time, which means most people can't look further than each moment.
babs05.bsky.social
It's deliberately avoided in Western media. When they do report, it's a mess, hard to decode unless you make the time to look further. But with so many crises at home in our own countries every day, that time is hard to find.
We can decode news on Palestine now, but we learned the hard way.

iirc the figure was around 5-6,000 before 7 Oct, and it's easily doubled now.

And 'Hamas' being EVERYONE, it just means indiscriminate killing. Whoever they feel like targeting in the moment.

We're all surprised gosh what a shock who could have foreseen it it's so unexpected it's not like Israel to lie or go back on their word oh wait actually it might be their normal come to think of it so how do you agree anything if nothing is agreed and every word is a lie and every govt backs them.

Today is World Mental Health Day. It’s a day that should be every day of the year. You are worthwhile, and you deserve to be here.

#WorldMentalHealthDay is trending in Twitter.

I'm in a low mood. But could be because of that migraine the other day? Or the days are shorter and there's no sunshine today? Or... bit of everything?

Israel called Sarah Wilkinson a 'terrorist', then Starmer treated her like one on her return.

That's what Starmer said, that it's a matter for the Israeli government.

This is why I say something when ppl criticise Jews. Half the Israeli population is secular.
Don't have to be Jewish to be Z.

Today, we rejoice in the sight of children celebrating in Gaza, but we mourn for the children whose laughter we will never hear.

Another day, another water price hike.

Yes, these are new increases.

By 2030 you’ll be paying an average of 35% more for your privately-owned & polluted water.

Sign below if you think it’s time for water to be publicly owned.
