We know that Israel lies about who is and who is not a "combatant" since it has given that designation to virtually anyone who is existing in a place Israel deems a no-go zone. And most of the people in Gaza understand how arbitrary these zones are.

Children have been shot in the head, chest, neck and groin by Israeli snipers. Drones have indiscriminately bombed tents and other shelters. So, we must take Israel's word with a boulder of salt.

Apartheid South Africa collapsed due to international boycotts. They ran out of basic supplies for farming, for Power production, to keep vehicles running. Israel is far more dependent on Imports than South Africa ever was. The International community could boycott and stop Israel easily.

Private equity is extracting millions from the NHS. Nearly £1bn went to insourcing firms in 3 years, much of it PE owned. We demand a ban on PE contracts, whistleblower protections, and an investigation into where money goes. Send our letter to your MP: everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/stop-private...

🇬🇧 🇵🇸 NEW: France, the United Kingdom and Canada will propose national measures banning trade in goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements, according to a joint statement issued with nine other countries.

12 governments said in a statement that Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank are rapidly destroying the possibility of a two-state solution, citing unprecedented settler violence, settlement expansion and new tenders for the E1 project, which would cut across the West Bank.

Denmark, Spain, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Poland, Portugal and Sweden joined the statement. Together, the 12 countries said they “confirm their intention to introduce national and/or support European restrictions on trade in goods with settlements which are illegal under international law, or that they are actively considering these and other measures.”

They also demanded that Israel halt settlement expansion, hold violent settlers accountable and investigate allegations involving Israeli forces. They opposed any steps amounting to annexation or the forced displacement of Palestinians.

Exactly... Fair enough, it's a start. But that's all. It must be brought home, clearly, to the state of Israel that its actions under its present leadership are wholly unacceptable to the civilised world. The killing must stop!

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”

The key thing to understand about Trump's trade war with Canada is that there is no logic, strategy, or theory behind it. Not even Trump's ideological allies think this was a good idea. It's almost *entirely* about Trump's personal desire to dominate and humiliate Canada www.vox.com/politics/500...

Fritz Zwicky came up with the terms “Supernova” for exploding stars, “Dark Matter” to explain the mass of galaxies, and perhaps most importantly “Spherical Bastard” do describe someone whose bastardry looks the same no matter what angle you view it from.
The Wikipedia photo for Fritz Zwicky and avuncular looking older white man with a pointy nose and side swept grey hair.  This particular picture is scanned from a photograph where a hair gorlt stuck to the negative in the process causing a white line to bisect his cheek. It’s not a negative error and should have been picked up i. Yhe quality check before the photographer received the picture
