Airstrikes on bakeries, Gaza

jeudi 2 novembre 2023 à 15:03

*The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said 10 of the 50 bakeries [in Gaza] it supplies with flour, helping to lower the soaring cost of bread, have been hit in airstrikes.*

It appears that either the Israeli air force is specifically targeting food facilities or it has destroyed 1/5 of the civilian buildings in Gaza.

Mainstream-press HAMAS/Israel falsities

Refuting false reports of atrocities by HAMAS and Israel.

Palestinian genocidal war, GAZA

jeudi 2 novembre 2023 à 15:03

*Israeli airstrikes have destroyed apartment blocks and killed dozens of people at a refugee camp in northern Gaza. The Israeli military said it had targeted the camp to kill [one Hamas commander].*

Killing one real enemy does not excuse converting a large number of civilians into "collateral damage". Not when Israel does it, and not when the US does it.

"From the river to the sea"

jeudi 2 novembre 2023 à 15:03

On the meanings of the phrase, "From the river to the sea".

Some common uses of the phrase imply the elimination of Israel.

The actual words that MP Andy McDonald used do not imply that. To me, they seem to advocate having just one state in that region, a state of Israel-Palestine. That idea is not outrageous in principle, though I don't see how it could work, so I still advocate two states.

I think the Labour Party did wrong to treat him so harshly.

*As Gaza crumbles, those speaking up for innocent Palestinians are being silenced and sacked.*

This article asserts that McDonald was in fact advocating two states. It would be interesting to see the full text of his remarks.

Unions: good year, challenging trend

*Recent US union contract gains [have happened] against a backdrop of decades of union decline, worsening wealth inequality and broken labor laws.*
