Western governments demonstrate over and over again that they are 100% comfortable with mass slaughter of brown people if it serves their interests. At most they see it as a PR problem. 500 years of this and basically zero moral development. It cannot be allowed to continue.

People in the bottom 20% of household income seem unlikely to be heard or prioritised in this election campaign. But as new Joseph Rowntree Foundation figures show, they continue to experience levels of hardship that should shame us all & be a defining mission for any incoming government to address

Parents could be punished if children don't sign up to the Tory national service programme.

Enforced how?

Stupid policies deflect attention away from Tory failures.

Defence Minister said national service ‘in any form’ would damage morale and discipline.

👉The International Court of Justice orders Israel to stop its Rafah offensive
👉Israel gives it the finger and bombs the tents of displaced refugees burning scores of them alive
👉Now is the time for the International Criminal Court to issue its arrest warrant for Netanyahu

What a monstrous failure of humanity.

Israel would never dare flout international law as blatantly as this without the backing of Washington and Brussels. And they, the US and the EU leaders, would never have backed these atrocities without our collective apathy. This is on us!

The obscene behaviour of Israeli soldiers is not an aberration. The Israeli army is a colonial army, conducting a colonial war, and their behaviour is 100% consistent with that of Western colonial armies for the past 500 years. It's just that now it's on TikTok.
