It's been three years of documenting slaughter. You may notice less media coverage from Palestine, because in Gaza journalists have been slaughtered en masse, and in the West Bank we're being put in torture chambers and threatened systemically by Israel (both military & police, and settlers). But the real thing is that enough has been covered, what's missing is not news, it's the insistence of the world that we keep providing documentation while it refuses to provide accountability. What this has done is create a vacuum where we are drained, depleted, and forced to risk our lives, while Israeli colonial and genocidal violence is sustained and excused.

Far right groups running around like the KKK in masks smashing up the homes of those they don't believe should be in the country. Don't think the government are taking this seriously enough.

J'accuse❗️ It won't be long before people are killed. I blame Reform. I blame Restore. I blame Tommy The Sniff, Danny Tommo, the Frauditors, and all the others stirring up hatred and division in our country. I blame the multi-millionaires funding civil unrest. But, most of all, I blame the Labour government, who are in a position to stop this, but choose to let it run. The laws are in place. Use them. The rhetoric could be pivoted in an instant, if there was a will to do so. The material conditions that are causing so many of our citizens to struggle and suffer could be addressed tomorrow, if there was a will to do so. J'accuse❗️

Feels almost redundant to point out how racist and intimidatory behaviour like this gets barely, if any, attention compared to, say, dismantling a components factory providing tools for enabling genocide.

This is happening as our entire establishment is portraying the Green Party as a racist endeavour. We have actual members of parliament calling for the deportation of our family, friends, and neighbours. Where is the condemnation of this?

The Guardian has published a vile piece by Dave Rich accusing anyone who says Israel deliberately kills children of engaging in blood libel. Apparently, the slaughter of Palestinian children in Gaza is a byproduct of a “tragic and unbearable conflict”.

Caught on camera: Sameer Project comes under Israeli fire while distributing water in Gaza —— On 5 October, The Sameer Project said its team came under gunfire while distributing water in eastern Salah al-Din, with men forced to crawl to avoid shots from Israeli occupation forces. The group confirmed that Palestinians continue to be targeted daily, with people killed and injured every day, stressing that “the genocide never ended.” It noted that areas it serves, including eastern Salah al-Din near the yellow line, receive little to no aid, but families remain there because they have nowhere else to go and still urgently need support. The Sameer Project also said it received reports from the Shujaiya intersection and Montazah Camp that hundreds of families, including women and children, were being fired upon by occupation forces. The group said attacks have intensified across the Gaza Strip over the past several days.

The anti-migrant street patrol groups say they exist to protect women. The Guardian has spoken to seven women who say they survived domestic abuse by key figures in the movement. At least 14 patrol groups have been set up in towns and cities across the UK. The Guardian reports they've received tens of thousands of pounds in public donations. Some have stopped men of colour and demanded to see identity documents. Reform's deputy leader Richard Tice has previously called for more patrols, according to the Guardian. The women's names have been changed. Some have been granted restraining or non-molestation orders. One had to move towns with police support. The Guardian says it has been shown evidence of the abuse. Not every case reached a conviction, and the piece says so. In one, charges including rape were dropped after the victim withdrew support. In the same case, the founder of a patrol group was convicted of coercive control in May, with the prosecutor telling the court the victim feared he would kill her. Another group was set up by a man jailed in 2022 for a racist attack that left someone with life-changing brain injuries. A third figure was convicted in 2018 of threatening a former partner. The stated purpose of these groups is protection. The record the Guardian has assembled deserves a closer look from anyone deciding whether to back them. Reporting by Nic Murray and Rajeev Syal, Guardian, 6 October. theguardian.com/society/2026…

No mention across the media of the reality in Gaza.
You can now open Google Earth and see what was done to Gaza. Whole neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble. Homes, schools, universities, hospitals, roads, water and sanitation systems, infrastructure that people depended on to survive have been damaged or destroyed.
