On 7 October 2023, I woke up early. For people that know me they will know what an unusual event that is.

As is usual, I turned on my social media and on twitter there were a load of posts about a breakout from Gaza.

There were a lot more posts from Israelis about a highway of death where Israelis had taken out hundreds of hamas members. Photos resembled how I had imagined that road in the Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait where all the vehicles were in one line.

We later found out that these dead were Israeli. Whether they were killed by Hamas or by Israeli helicopters is up for bitter dispute.

It's almost like Israel is ashamed that its place as the most vile regime in the middle east has been challenged by Assad of Syria and Saudi Arabia.

Today was the 70th anniversary of the destitution of many Palestinian people and in Gaza they took part in an unarmed protest. They were met with bullets and massacre.

This has happened the past few weeks and shows that the Israeli regime is no different to Assad - they are just faced with less people capable of even protesting peacefully.

And dont forget your Christian brethren that are being oppressed in the holy lands.

If you have any questions, see how Christians in Bethlehem are treated and what their wishes are.

After dropping my mum off at the Relics of Makkah and Madinah event in Rochdale I decided to visit the world famous International Chippy for some food.

On the way back, I took a photo of the above painting which I thought was pretty nifty.

The Trump Presidency has started and barring any intervening acts, will last for either 4 or 8 years.

Now most people on social media are hyperventilating with either deep despaire or deep hope. Both are probably mistaken about their fears and hoples, but some of the things they fear /hope will happen.

While there is much debate about the impact of the Trump presidency on many things, there is less debate about its impact on the rights of Palestinians – where it will likely be a bigger catastrophe than previous American involvement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli right wing already considered it a major win when Trump won the US presidential elections.

Pop quiz: if a beloved children's author who wrote a series of books about good vs evil and about good winning was confronted with injustice, what would the author's reaction be?

If it is JK Rowling that we are referring to above, the answer is to choose to fight for injustice of course.

David Cameron will participate in a rally against extremism, terrorism and murder of 17 people that occurred in Paris this past week.

He will condemn these actions standing beside Benjamin Netanyahu who has been responsible for the murder of over 2,500 people in the past year.

Where is the sense in that?

Taken from twitter.

Remember how peace talks failed not long before Netanyahu launched terror campaign on Gaza? Likud charter sheds light

It should help respond to a few more paid hasbara shills.

The ZIonist Hasbara loves facts. It loves them so much it doesnt use any, prefering lies instead.

It is useful to have some facts to hand to beat back hyperbole and nonsensical arguments.

Someone has compiled a useful set of links that can be used to combat the Hasbara propaganda: http://theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/consolidated-resp...

Its good to keep it handy because we have facts and the truth on our side - we don't need to get angry or insult, we can prove our points and show what the Hasbara shills present as the lies they are.
