More than 500,000 displaced in Lebanon as Israel escalates attacks Lebanon's social affairs minister said 517,000 people had been registered as displaced during the conflict.

Almost 400 dead in Lebanon with women and children among them.
How many people in Britain want to be associated with this escalating horror?

Every single new detail of this gets more horrific and cartoon villian levels of evil. Not only did they target a girls' school, they did so specifically to lure out military family members for a double-tap strike, and then the President just openly lies and says Iran did it themselves

“World trade and global security is being shattered by a single man. Not since Adolf Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker in 1945 have the lives of so many people around the world been so buffeted by the psychosis of a single man”

Watching the West defend the Middle East against Iran’s drones reveals a sickening double standard.

Ukrainians have endured years of Russian missiles and shaheds with heavily restricted strike capabilities and insufficient air defense.

Why the hesitation to defend Kyiv?

All the murder and mayhem in the ME is down to Trump, Netanyahu and the Iranian regime. The most powerful and brutal men in the world murdering for fun and profit.

Trump says he wants to pick Iran’s new leader. Proof he has no respect for democracy.

Beware America.

An Island Nation in the South Pacific Leads the Latest Push for Climate Justice at the UN - Inside Climate News Vanuatu urges the U.N. to support a landmark International Court of Justice climate opinion that says governments have legal duties to confront climate change.

Climate justice is a a long time coming, with sketchy, shady petrostates fighting tooth and nail to slow progress, but step by step, it's coming closer.

I’m ashamed that I’m a citizen of the USA. We’ve just become murdering terrorists. No ethics, no morals and being run with the most incompetent government in history. Can we stop this nightmare, please!!

Discharged from hospital for the 3rd time in a week. This time the rampant infection which was possibly caused by an operation may be under control.
It’s shocking that an elderly man with a life-threatening condition can be discharged before he’s well. I think.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Reform UK councillor shared Facebook post saying Labour MP ‘should be shot’ Natalie Fleet MP says politicians should not expect ‘death threats as standard’, as Lancashire councillor apologises

So Reform publicly condones violence now. Even after Farage was so angry at Jo Brand's 'throw acid not milkshake' joke. Is it okay for Reform because it's threatening violence against a Labour MP or is it because it's aimed at a woman? Both probably.

Bear in mind each ICE employee gets a big bonus for every person apprehended, which is why a 65 year-old British tourist with a valid visa was apprehended and kept for weeks in a ‘facility’ ie prison.

His silly fillies will come when he calls!

It would be in character for Trump to dream up #Alien conspiracies. Interplanetary lizards disguised as humans for example. If there are such creatures certainly he’s one. David Icke would be thrilled.
