Another UN shelter bombed by the Israeli's

Israeli shelling hits another Gaza UN school killing at least 20 civilians




Jabaliya refugee camp one of the most deprived and densely populated areas in Gaza



Another UN school being used as shelter for civilians in Gaza has been bombed by the Israeli forces. It is reported that at least 20 civilians have been killed. The school is in the Jabalia refugee camp and was attacked by tanks and aircraft.
Yesterday I blogged that the Israeli intention is to completely flatten Gaza and drive the Palestinians into the sea. Last nights indiscriminate bombardment brings the toll to at least 1250 Palestinians killed with thousands more injured, the majority of which are civilians and of those there are at least 300 children.
This genocidal ethnic cleansing of Gaza, has been continuing in its present intensity for over three weeks, with complete destruction of homes, mosques, schools, hospitals and other essential infrastructure. Gaza is now completely without electricity, as the only power station supplying the whole enclave with electricity was destroyed by Israeli tanks during yesterdays attacks.
The western world, particularly the United States and to a lesser extent the United Kingdom, twitter on about a ceasefire, humanitarian truce or other empty platitudes at the United Nations and yet do nothing practical to stop Israeli genocide.
In any other theater around the world, (but not any conflict involving Israel), the west would have by now taken a stand.
Were the same commitment to preventing genocide and other atrocities applied in this current conflict, NATO or the United Nations or both would have by now bombed targets around Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ashdod and other military areas in Israel sending a clear message to Tel Aviv to "Stop and withdraw or face the consequences".
However, as I have argued on may previous occasions, Israel can do no wrong in the eyes of western governments especially the United States government, where even as recently as yesterday, John Kerry, at a press conference in Washington, reiterated at least 20 times, that " we stand with Israel our closest ally" and "we fully support Israel and its right to defend itself" and at the same time, the State Department announced another $400 million of military aid is on its way to Tel Aviv.



John Kerry press conference in the Whitehouse Treaty Room


The western appeasement to Israel continues when it is abundantly clear that, as in the case of Germany in 1938, only force will stop them.
However appeasement destroys the backbone of government to do what is right and in the meantime the attacks on Palestinian homes, mosques, schools, hospitals and the people of Gaza will continue until there is nothing and no one left.
History will condem the governments of today for acquiescing to the destruction of an entire people in Palestine by perusing a policy of appeasement to a vicious and evil aggressor.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
