There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says
British doctors working in Gaza have described the territory as a ?slaughterhouse,? where the patients they are treating are severely malnourished.
Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8The Israelis are above International law. They don't give a fuck about their war crimes so long as America stands by them. Perhaps our Politicians could put pressure on our Government to raise the issue of these war crimes in the UN?
I'm reminded of an account I read regarding a British siege of a Maori stronghold in New Zealand.
Under a white flag, an emmisary from the Maori camp approached the British. He stated "If you want us to keep fighting, you'll have to give us food and water" (paraphrase)
1. The UNSG has urged the Palestinians to hand back the abducted soldier.
2. How do you guys know so much about international law? Are you international lawyers?
3. War has not begun yet. The AA fire on IAF by the Syrians yesterday has brought that closer. Israel withdrew from Gaza last August. Since then they have put up with operators bombing soft non-tactical targets, such as felafel stands.
4. PM Ehud Olmert is continuing with the policies initiated by PM Ariel Sharon.

"Don't start a belligerent act , if you don't have the power to face the consequences".
The Palestinians can't fire missiles day after day and kidnap a soldier, all that a year after the withdrawal, and than start whining after the Israelis react.
Eastern Eye
The principle that might is right is a principle of fascism. I learn from a related recent article, that Amnesty International say that 150 [+1] Palestinians have been killed by Israeli military since the beginning of the year - 25 of them children. Amnesty says that 20 Israelis have died at the hands of Palestinian militias (2 of them children).
Who knows how many are dying from insanitary conditions and powerless hospitals in the Gaza Concentratiion Camp and in the West bank.
The Geneva Convention outlaws collective punishment. One doesn't have to be an expert in international law to realise this.
add these to the above:
nightly sonic booms = terrorism.
randomly killing civilians = terrorism
1.7 million waiting for the next unanounced military assault = terrorism
As John Snow put to the Israeli ambassador on Channel Four News, the home-made rockets that are being fired on Israel pose little threat - the ambassador didn't deny this - but using some of the most sophisticated military technology on a mostly unarmed civilian population, is inexcusable.
Hamas is as democratically elected as the most right-wing Likud ggovernment ever was - except Hamas isn't a minority government.
Israel doesn't recognize the state of Palestine (despite the express recognition of this in the UN mandate that set up Israel in 1948). How then, should we take seriously Israeli demands that Hamas recognize the state of Israel?
The only fair solution is a one-state solution where Arab, Jew and Other have equal rights. This concept is alien to the state of Israel, where non-Jews are unequal under the laws. Contrast this to the treatment of Christian populations in the Occupied Territories, who suffer no such descrimination.
What eastern eye defends is rampant, irridentist nationalism and the subjugation of peoples in the belief that they are inferior. Imagine the phrase 'the Palestinians' being replaced by 'the Jews'. We've seen it before in another era. Sick!
'The detention of Hamas parliamentarians in the early hours of Thursday morning had been planned several weeks ago and received approval from Mazuz on Wednesday. The same day, Shin Bet Director Yuval Diskin presented Prime Minister Ehud Olmert with the list of Hamas officials slated for detention.'

So what if the was planned ahead of time. What nation doesn't have contingency plans? Is it only the Jews who are not allowed to plan ahead? All governments have contingency plans. If not, they should be canned and replaced with a different government.
Same old shiite, different day
"Same old shiite, different day"
Remarkable self-awareness there. Any time someone tries to hold the Israeli government to the recognised standards of human rights and international law that are applied to any government occupying someone else's territory (whether Russian in Chechnya, the US in Iraq, China in Tibet, India in Kashmir or Serbia in Bosnia and Kosova), someone starts shrieking about "different standards for the Jews".
