Weekend of protests as conditions in Gaza worsen due to Israel’s genocide
Protests have been happening – not just in the UK but around the world, including Israel – as that country’s genocide in Gaza worsens, and it continues its persecution of Palestinians elsewhere.
Here’s what has been happening in Gaza recently. Be warned – it isn’t easy to see.

Rafah was the "safe zone" as the Israeli military claimed!
Now, Rafah is witnessing massacre after massacre. Where do they go? Where is the “safe zone”? pic.twitter.com/COAJlq4skC

Here in the northern Gaza Strip
No shelter
No food
No food and drink
No treatment
A sit-in for citizens to deliver their message to the world
Screams of pain of hunger and oppression

Israeli newspaper Haaretz recently published an article about Israeli soldiers cooking food in Palestinian homes.

It is true that people in the northern parts of #Gaza_Strip are starving because of the LACK of food, but people in the southern parts are also starving due to the SCARCITY of food.

Breaking: Moments ago, an Israeli army sniper targeted dozens of hungry civilians who were waiting for food supplies along Rashid Street west of Gaza, resulting in several casualties, including the citizen Sami Mohamed Al-Ghura.

This is what Israel's military commanders tell its settler death squad members as they enter Gaza: "There are no innocents there."

But Gaza isn’t the only place where Palestinians are being mistreated by Israelis. Read what follows to see Israel’s habitual treatment of Palestinians.
Not Gaza. Shu'fat refugee camp, east of Jerusalem.

Nothing to do with ‘defence’.
Everything to do with oppression.
Everything to do with apartheid.
Everything to do with fascism.— Howard Beckett (@BeckettUnite) February 18, 2024

Under the rocket’s glow, Palestinian children are ‘seized in the dead of night, blindfolded and cuffed, abused and manipulated to confess to crimes they didn't commit. Every year Israel arrests almost 1,000 Palestinian youngsters, some of them not yet 13.’ – Haaretz pic.twitter.com/9Rn27AZTHK

Now consider this: an organisation exists that encourages former Israel Defence Force personnel to confess the crimes they have committed while in uniform or on active duty.

It should hardly be surprising that protests have been taking place against Israel – across the world, including in Tel Aviv:

Members of the UK Labour Party have no power to stop the genocide in Gaza – other than in voting for the UK to call for a ceasefire during a motion in Parliament. Strangely, they seem unwilling to do this – and so they have attracted what many consider entirely justified criticism.

We stand with the Palestinian people.
Israel does not represent Torah Jews.
Israel is not the state of the Jews.
Our hearts are shattered over the loss of so much innocent life.
It pains us to the core how this is all carried out in the name of Jewish people.

Will any of the above affect the Scottish National Party’s ceasefire vote, that we think will be held on Wednesday (February 21)?

Horrifyingly none of the protest actions by ordinary women, children and men in so many different countries will make any difference to the barbaric, cruel and arrogant men and women who continue to cling on tight to real political power!
Here in the UK we have the fascist tories and their bros and sisters that fascist David Lammy and Rachel Reeves to name just two craven ‘quislings!’ Remember ‘quisling’ was a definition created during WW II to identify anyone who collaborated with ‘the nazis!’ Now we have more quislings here in the UK all pro zionist/fascist Israel!
Kudos to the honorable Torah Jewish men who refuse to submit to the fascist/zionist rabid Israeli lies!
