Despite the pain, Gaza's children still smile...

"Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza", Trump wrote on social media last week, perhaps with his longed-for Nobel Peace Prize in mind.

Meanwhile, Israel continues attacking Gaza.

This is Zionist Israel's idea of "peace" – turning a ceasefire into a demolition derby.

Trump might well be hoping to be a Nobel Peace Prize recipient on Friday, but he'd have to have been nominated prior to Jan 31st, 2025, and the committee evaluates nominees based primarily on their actions and impact up to that nomination deadline.

Although anything seems possible these days. 🍿

For 80 years, rational people have examined Nazi Germany as a historical aberration - a 'freak of nature' event that defied the principles of democracy and human rights.

And it's profoundly shocking to see the Trump administration mirroring that authoritarian control and nationalist rhetoric.

Air-traffic controllers are calling out sick and I support them. No one should be forced to work without pay while the people responsible for the shutdown still get their checks. Shut down Congress instead. Shutdown the entire country! Remind Trump: WE keep this country running.... #GeneralStrike

"... the sponsorship of a "Jewish state" ... violently established in 1948 in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, served as a European protectorate on the ruins of the Palestinian people’s homeland."

It is the West, not Gaza, that needs to be deradicalised

This brutal war on Palestinians has not just unleashed Israel's demons. It has unmasked our own regimes, as they crack down on humanitarian activism

When your ‘All Night Revival’ looks more like Nacht und Nebel, you’re not fighting for democracy....

You’re staging authoritarian spectacle.

And history remembers the uniforms before the slogans.
