In researching my new book, Requiem for Gaza, I discovered how Israel systematically targeted and killed the Palestinian professional class (such as doctors and journalists), an obvious genocidal tactic. This goal is symptomatic of Israel's larger vision for Gaza; to ethnically cleanse its population via genocide.

It's matchday tomorrow. Before the Toffees take on the Magpies, why not call in at our superb matchday heritage centre? You can find us to the rear of @bluehousebmd , accessed from Fulton Street.

"Carpet bomb them all". Speaking to The Guardian at an event ahead of Israelโ€™s elections, a young Israeli woman called for Palestinians to be forcibly displaced from the Gaza Strip, saying they should be killed if they cannot be removed.

As Netanyahu starts the process of turning the West Bank into a second Gaza our government has to act. The message needs to go out that this extension of the genocide will not be tolerated. Full sanctions and political isolation of Israel must be lead by the UK. theguardian.com/world/2026/oโ€ฆ

There has never, in our lifetimes, been a genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign that the genocidal ethnic cleaners have so openly bragged about doing.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Lebanon: Look at what is happening in Lebanon. Today, more than 60 villages in southern Lebanon, beginning with those adjacent to the border, and beyond that, throughout the entire security zone up to the Yellow Line, an area of 700 square kilometers, are destroyed. All the villages have been wiped out. Twenty-three thousand houses, all destroyed, demolished. I am not even talking about what is underground, about the tunnels. Everything has been destroyed. There are no residents there. Two hundred thousand residents are outside. This is the Gaza model. And this is the model we are implementing.

๐Ÿ”ด Vehicles carrying diplomats from France, Belgium, and Poland were attacked by settlers in the West Bank village of Taybeh. Settler terror gangs seem determined to show diplomats what Palestinians endure every day. The IDF, meanwhile, seems determined to show them that it canโ€™t handle these settler militias. In reality, it arms them.
