Ed Sheeran has an Irish passport, claims strong ties to #Ireland , but it’s clear he didn’t grow up here, or educated here, and subsequently has failed to notice any of the monuments to Irish people who resisted British imperialist rule here #gaza #palestine That’s a failure of the #UK edu. system

#Israel absent from another headline on this in #gaza #palestine . It’s #US Israel policy to prevent reconstruction, halt building supplies, tents etc from entering, and are responsible for destroying 90% of residential buildings in Gaza forcing Palestinians to live in these unsafe buildings

These headlines that present power cuts, shortages of medicines , fuel and food as some mysterious natural phenomenon in #gaza #palestine , rather than #Israel #US policy, which is genocide , is complicity in it. Its US Israel policy for twenty years now, turbo charged after Oct 7 2023

#Cuba #US like all economic crises, it’s just happening, like a storm system or earthquake. The US (omitted from the headline) illegal medieval genocidal siege is responsible, and Reuters is complicit . Like #gaza , US and #Israel appear to be standing by while all this bad stuff keeps happening

Yes , an outrage in #Ukraine #Russia, but wait until you see what #Israel gets up to in #gaza . Years of this footage on social media from Gaza and the failure of western media to elicit this outrage, but actually excuse it ie “Israel says “. Why not ask the Russian military on this? Absurd ?

So the supposedly Iranian public reacting ‘irrationally’ to the assassination of their leader, his grandchild etc, and the dismemberment of 150 schoolgirls in an unprovoked #Israel #US attack on #Iran, is making life difficult for the supposedly ‘rational’ peace seeking perpetrators of this savagery
