"Across the UK and around the world, the tide has turned. From musicians chanting at Glastonbury, to students occupying campuses, to doctors’ unions passing motions of solidarity, public opinion has shifted. People are demanding an end to active participation in genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The votes two weeks ago at the British Medical Association’s annual representative meeting - the largest gathering of doctors in the UK - are a powerful symbol of that shift."

A Surgeon on the Desperation in Gaza: ‘They’re Prepared to Die for a Bagful of Rice’
Dr. Victoria Rose spent 21 days in the territory in May, treating people who were shot trying to get food and children with life-changing injuries from Israeli bombs.

"Dr. Rose went straight to the emergency room at Nasser Hospital where she was based, arriving around 8 a.m. It is the last major hospital still functioning in southern Gaza.
“There were ambulances coming in, just bringing dead people, and then there were donkey-drawn carts bringing dead people,” she recalled in an interview in London. “By about 10 o’clock, we had 20 or so dead bodies, and then easily a hundred or so gunshot wounds.”"

US sanctions UN expert Francesca Albanese, critic of Israel's Gaza offensive
The Trump administration is imposing sanctions on the UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, an outspoken critic of Israel's military offensive in Gaza.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio linked the move to her support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), some of whose judges have already been sanctioned by the US.
Rubio said the US was sanctioning Ms Albanese for directly engaging with the ICC in its efforts to prosecute American or Israeli nationals, accusing her of being unfit for service as a UN Special Rapporteur.

This instance is not as ban-happy as you all like to pretend, and just posting bad geopolitical takes isn't going to get you banned, it's just cringe.
But there's certainly an infantile vibe to your attitude here; almost as if you are purposefully trying to rile up people so that they dunk on you for being unbelievably dense, just so that you can go cry about tankies elsewhere.
I have seen this strategy from your crowd far too many times at this point.
Two dead in Houthi speedboat attack on cargo ship in Red Sea
The Eternity C and Magic Seas were part of commercial fleets whose sister vessels have made calls to Israeli ports over the past year.
Ellie Shafik of Vanguard Tech, a UK-based maritime risk management company, said: “The pause in Houthi activity did not necessarily indicate a change in underlying intent. As long as the conflict in Gaza persists, vessels with affiliations, both perceived and actual, will continue to face elevated risks.”
