📸 The one photo that Israel NEVER wants you to see or understand

100% of these cars and any casualties inside of them, that Israel claims Hamas destroyed on October 7th, were ALL blown up by Israeli bombs, missiles, and drones under their "Hannibal Directive"

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

If the right accuse the left of something (terrorist sympathising, communism, antisemitism etc) the media will ask the left to defend themselves from that charge.

If the left accuse the right of something (racism, fascism, colonialism), the media will ask the left to justify that charge.

I'm so goddamned tired of these obnoxious Zionists deliberately stoking antisemitism.

Constantly pinning their atrocities on all Jews is a filthy scheme that puts Jews in danger all over the world. Zionists do this because the perception of danger is the only argument for Israel's existence.

FIFA has decided to take no action against Israel.

President says "FIFA cannot resolve geopolitical issues."

FIFA has and still bans Russia.

FIFA is a disgrace, Israel need to be banned.

Of the five victims killed or injured in the attack on the synagogue in Manchester, the police are responsible for one death and one injury by "police gunfire".

If you include the perpetrator who was shot dead at the scene then the cops killed more people than he did!

How will you tell this story to your Grandchildren?

There was a Genocide and people came in boats to try bring food to the babies starving to death.

"And what happened then?"

The Genociders arrested them because they were 'terrorists'.

"What happened next?"

Nothing.

Russia has seized a UK flagged civilian vessel in intl waters & detained everyone on board

Can you imagine the reaction of the UK govt? There would be an immediate condemnation of this violation of international law and the Russian ambassador would be summoned.

They're already trying to ring up the company and claim it's only got £1m of assets

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 7d

This ruling is a joke.

PPE Medpro will go bankrupt and the Government won't get a penny.

Michelle Mone should have to pay the £122m personally.

RT if you want to see her pay it all back.

Israeli soldiers were filmed detaining two Palestinian children in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, while demanding to know their father’s whereabouts.

When a passerby intervened and urged their release because of their young age, a soldier replied, “I don’t care”.
