I dont suppose Hamas wants to force a reveal and certainly not Israel, although inside methods & procedures and instructions on a 72hour window, bombarded by forensic question will I believe prove impossible odds that the whole affair was allowed. Added together with external knowledge and build up is the greater story.

    It’s almost the two third majority wining for the labour party. How can we be more optimistic and expect better from the Great Britain (self proclaimed greatness obviously) when this empire colonized, exploited and looted more than the half of earth’s surface by force over centuries? The colonial mindset is enshrined in English society. Look at Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, even today these states are dreaming of their own independence. However, the brutal reality is that the cunning British regime will never let it happen. Ireland suffered from a series of bloodbath and atrocities committed by the British regime before the Irish revolutionists proclaimed sovereignty and got rid off their authoritarian neighbour. And still, the British government pretends that nothing happened in the past! If a nation treats its closest neighbouring states and look alike people with such an utter contempt, protesting against the genocide of 9 months in Palestine is the least they can think, let alone to care about….. 😢

    "Is Starmer going to be better? Probably not." - 00:30 That man looks like he's in his 40s. He's too old to say something so ignorant. The country has changed (and for the worse) over the past 14 years in ways that simply would not have happened if we weren't run by the Tories. Labour would not have imposed austerity, we would have stayed in the European Union, there would have been a lot more investment in infrastructure, and the economy would be in a much better place, etc. To say these parties are just the same is so depressingly stupid. (By the way, Labour is far from perfect - and there's much I dislike about them - but, still, the point stands.)

God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967711013075 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i.......................،،،،،

Also, Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, and China is committing genocide against the Uyghur Muslims.

As a matter of fact, the UK has financially supported Israel and shielded Israel at the UN similar to the US. You would never have these protests for Palestine in the UK nor candidates running on a pro-Palestine platform if the vast majority of the political elite weren't Zionists to begin with.
