"Flight numbers and durations, often coinciding with major Israeli operations, suggest detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." The government has long insisted that spy planes were sent over Gaza for the sole purpose of looking for Israeli hostages held by Hamas.

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide. The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

The court found that Israel’s allegations against UNRWA – including that it had been complicit in the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack on Israel – were unsubstantiated. So much damage done by Israel who have zero respect for International Law. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10...

After ICJ ruling, can UN relief agency UNRWA resume full Gaza operations?
ICJ states Israel must allow aid into Gaza, ensuring food, water, medicine, and shelter for the Palestinian population.

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God. Straight from the Old Testament in the Bible/Torah

Freedom, for Spinoza, is not the absence of feeling — it is the mastery of understanding. Reason lights the storm from within. 🌩️✨ #Philosophy #Freedom #Spinoza

To live by reason is not to be cold, but to be awake. It’s to know that understanding your passion doesn’t make it weaker — it makes you stronger.

This idea feels radical even today. In a world that often glorifies outrage or mocks reason, Spinoza whispers: “Understand yourself — that is the path to power.”

Spinoza’s freedom is an inner architecture — a harmony between knowing and feeling. It’s the bridge between heart and mind, where clarity becomes liberation. 🕊️

Understanding our passions doesn’t kill emotion. It refines it. Love becomes compassion. Desire becomes creativity. Anger becomes justice.

When fear dictates politics, when pride shapes nations, when hate fills the streets — Spinoza would say: this is what happens when collective passions remain unexamined. Freedom fades, replaced by reaction.

In his Ethics, Spinoza writes that emotions are like storms. You can’t stop the wind, but you can learn its patterns. Reason, then, is not suppression — it’s navigation. 🌬️🧭

He saw that people often confuse freedom with indulgence. When we chase every impulse, we become slaves to circumstance — to our anger, envy, or pride. The one who understands their passion can choose; the one who doesn’t is driven.

For Spinoza, our passions are not enemies of reason. They are signals — messages from our nature. By studying them, we transform them from chaotic forces into sources of insight and power.

Spinoza believed that true freedom isn’t about rejecting reason or following wild emotion. Freedom begins when we understand why we feel what we feel — when we see our desires and fears clearly instead of being ruled by them.
