On average, Israeli weapons now kill seven people a day. That rate of violent death would be considered an active conflict in many other contexts, raising questions about how accurately “ceasefire” describes the new status quo.
"It’s something that if you want to you can call a ceasefire, which is very convenient for the Americans and for everyone who wants this off their television screens and off their streets and off their annoying parliamentary and political schedules,” said Daniel Levy, a former Israeli negotiator and the president of the US/Middle East Project.
“It is very convenient for Israel. The pressure is off and they have smashed the whole place up, and can still kill as they please.”
The slaughter and thumb screws are being applied just as much, kettling the gazan’s into an ever increasing smaller yellow safe zone until it boils over again then the Israeli ghouls will cry yet again.
Not to mention the refusal to allow living supplies such as tents, medical supplies, doctors/surgeons/nurses access into Gaza, the current Israeli government and regime are subhuman in their humanity
And I see the Jewish Chronicle is going after the Daily Sport : Double Decker Bus Found On Moon” style headlines

Blimey, they must still be a threat to Israel then. Obviously this is going to require more bombing, starvation, and killing of men women and children.
Presumably this is all the fault of Hamas?
Btw can you imagine the news interest and outrage which would be generated if Hamas was killing 7 Israelis every day?
Francesca ripping Israel a new arsehole yet again, but no doubt Israel will rush to fill it with their usual genocidal shite and cries of antisemitism.
I think one thing that had come out of this is that the blanket calling of anybody unhappy with the way that the Zionists in Israel act Antisemitic doesn’t carry any weight now.
I've been thinking on that point recently duckman, and if I was accused of being antisemitic for expressing my abhorrence of what the Israelis are doing to normal Gazan citizens, I think I'd own it rather than argue my defense and let the deflection work.
It's very unlikely I'd be put in that situation mind.

Well someone killed 2 people at a Jewish festival in Australia today and there has been blanket media coverage.
^ The Sydney massacre is utterly heartbreaking, absolutely no point at all and it will only help Netanyahu, I imagine he’s going to weaponise the antisemitism card regarding allowing Gaza protests around the world,
It’s the perfect gift to sit at the feet of Netanyahu and Israeli government regime, they’ll dine out on this
As an alternative this is rather informative
Too late to get it now ?
No, we’re in Christmas chart week right now.

Oh, the long version is beautiful.
"Double Decker Bus Found On Moon" style headlines
I'm not sure we should be so dismissive of the ongoing conflict resulting in attacks outside the region.
And the Hamas members currently on trial in Germany for setting up weapons caches accross Europe between 2019 and 2023, presumably for attacks here.

You mean "ongoing genocide"?......right?......yes?
I see it’s been linked to above but here’s the video as well
Recent social media post from a Palestinian friend:
Yes, the genocide that claimed over 400,000 innocent Palestinian lives maybe over, and the savage Israeli bombs that killed mostly children may have finally become silent, but the echoes of our loss will never fade.
The image of my beloved mother, who died from an infection after drinking contaminated water, still haunts me. And my sweet nephew Khaled, whose life was stolen in an instant by shrapnels from an Israeli bomb of an airstrike tearing through his neck and heart will forever live in our memory.
May their memories and the memories of my 73 other relatives live forever. May all of them rest in peace and may all granted the highest levels of Al-Ferdaous.
Thoughts with them. The comment about their mother fits far too well with that song. The destruction of infrastructure will claim far more lives than the direct bombing, and that act of destruction looks to be ongoing rather than to have ceased. Now is not the time to look away. Outside journalists should be allowed in immediately.
Trump has announced the Gaza board of Peace.
members include
Marco Rubio - not looking good
Tony Blair - okay now i am starting to worry
Jared Kushner - was wondering where the nepotism would come in
Steve Witkoff - okay to try and be optimistic if he is busy here he might not be selling Ukraine out?
Gaza piece plan/bored of peace phase 2?………hope it blows up in their ****ingface (literally)
You’d be forgiven for not noticing, given the lack of news coverage, but the Palestine Action Elbit activists were cleared of most of the serious charges against them yesterday.
One item that did make it into the Grauniad was that it seems that the allied war cemetery in Gaza has been bulldozed by the Worlds Most Moral Army.
given the lack of news coverage
I saw and heard it on all the tv and radio news programmes last night. No intent to hurt anyone (no aggravated burglary). The sledgehammer wielding guy still has charges to answer as regards his attack on the police officer.

It was on the ITV news at 6.30pm
There's the possibility of a retrial so we won't hear too much speculation

Yes it was mentioned briefly. No sign on news.bbc.co.uk or the.guardian.com front pages. Apart from anything else you might have imagined that it deserved more coverage since it drives a coach and horses through the shoddy excuses used to proscribe PA.
The sledgehammer wielding guy still has charges to answer as regards his attack on the police officer.
Alleged.

It was captured on video. From BBC news https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g54g1r15eo

Luckily the jury were not solely relying on a couple of seconds of blurry video.

The action isn't really disputed, what/whether crime was/wasn't committed is.
"Corner does not deny striking police sergeant Kate Evans with a sledgehammer, fracturing her spine the jury was earlier told, but says he did it in defence of other activists and denies causing her serious harm."

The action isn't really disputed, what/whether crime was/wasn't committed is.
What is disputed is if the action constitutes an "attack" or rather self defence.
No end to the US/Israeli depravity
There is a bit of an odd thing going on, with Pep Guardiola speaking out about how much he is affected by the suffering of children in Gaza, Ukraine etc and the Jewish council of Manchester telling him to shut up.

It kind of reminds me when there is something happens and all the "community" leaders come out to have their say. WTF is a community leaders, who selected them to represent the communities they say they do? I can't say I have ever lived in a community with leaders, even being brought up in a religious household, as a kid I wouldn't have thought of our pastor as a community leader, he was just the church leader and represented a tiny minority of people in the area.
Are these “Jewish Council Leaders” conflating Jewish and Israeli? Isn’t that …. err …. antisemitic?
