WenThere are some people who will take any opportunity to kill and torture - Gaza is giving many of them an opportunity and (they hope) a chance to hide their crimes.Of course this has to come to law, but I am glad that evidence of these crimes is being collated.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/law/2025/apr/07/ten-britons-accused-of-committing-war-crimes-while-fighting-for-israel-in-gaza" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/law/2025/apr/07/ten-britons-accused-of-committing-war-crimes-while-fighting-for-israel-in-gaza</a><a href="https://www.thenational.scot/news/25064765.british-citizens-reported-police-gaza-war-crimes/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thenational.scot/news/25064765.british-citizens-reported-police-gaza-war-crimes/</a><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/WarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WarCrimes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/UKpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UKpol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Britons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Britons</a>

DrALJONESPeople ask, "What can be done?"Become aware & act:The Palestinians are indigenous to Palestine.The British empire gave most of Palestine to Zionists from Europe to colonise. Out of racism, the British didn't consult the Palestinians.Now that the US is greenlighting the final ethnic cleansing of Gaza & the West Bank, & Europe is helping, the only thing that can save the Palestinians is mass protests & strikes across the world.And <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BDS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/palestinehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#palestinehistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpol</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zionism</a> .

Mercurius GoldsteinFascism and ableism go hand-in-hand, they are both powered by eugenic ideology.So an important part of fighting Trump’s fascism is to stop using ableist slurs against him.Everyday I see articles and commentary notionally “against” Trump describing him as ‘mentally unfit’ or ‘unwell’ or ‘in decline’ or ‘a moron’ and other equivalent ableist slurs. Those “critiques” play into the very same ableism that powers Trump’s fascism.The problem with Trump is that he’s a fascist, surrounded by Nazis, implementing Nazi policies. That’s what makes him dangerous, not ‘mental illness’ etc.Educate yourself and others to reject the ableism that further empowers Trump’s fascism.<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uspol</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auspol</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ukpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukpol</a>
