5)of overwhelming deceit

So I ask: Are you truly suggesting that Israel and the United States should be rewarded for orchestrating this massacre?

That they alone should decide the fate of a people who have already earned their right to self-governance through struggle & resistance?

4)It stands as a monument to betrayal—an accord between colonisers & the colonised that marked the erasure of a people's rights

It was never worth the paper it was written on

I am not here to persuade

I am not here to argue

This is not a contest of opinion—it is a calling of truth in the face...

3)of deception
obfuscation, purveyors of a narrative that whitewashes genocide behind a veneer of legality & diplomacy

The West turns a blind eye, props up an illegal occupation, and legitimises apartheid through silence & complicity

The Balfour Agreement is not some historical footnote...

2)no mere luxury; it is the essence of truth

For two years, the slaughter of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza has been documented by, independent experts, journalists & human rights organisations

The names Trump, Starmer, Satanyahu are not just political figures here—they are architects..

You boldly claim that none of this is true, yet you offer no evidence

No facts to support your assertion—only a defiant dismissal

Facts alone, severed from context, become weapons

Politicians deploy them daily, twisting truth to preserve power, to conceal the atrocities they commit

Context is...

This imposed and flawed agreement even if realised, will not absolve the Western Powers from complicity in Israel's genocide.

Nor from refusing to take action to stop Israel's relentless and illegal annexation of Palestine.

When normal people get a ceasefire agreement they think "Good, this means we can finally stop fighting and killing." Whenever Israelis get a ceasefire agreement they go, "This means we have to hurry up and kill as many people as possible before it takes effect."

As a show of sincere commitment to Trump’s so called “Gaza Peace Deal,” Israel is continuing to bomb civilians through out the night.

The #BBCQT audience proved what I keep saying, the 'problem' of migration is manufactured, the media hypes it up, the far-right hypes it up, social media bots hypes it up

Decent people recognise the benefits & necessity of immigration

Australian sports survived tobacco ad restrictions from the late 1960s – they shouldn’t fear a gambling crackdown now.

I'm very skeptical! This is far to convenient. Israel has been holding children for decades, but nobody talks about that. Bibi in prison is the only believable first step. #FreePalestine #StopTheGenocide
