We are now up to about 5,000 children slaughtered (no doubt much more).
Perhaps those with domestic issues should understand that the kind of psychos who would do this will be coming for you next.
How was your own three month domestic break Rob

Yes! Israelis shower the trapped and bombed Gazans with leaflets telling them that the area they are in is about to be bombed - causing blind panic for people with families but no means of fleeing quickly - that too is terrorism. Yet Israelis boast about it - they chalk it up as another attribute of their âmost moral armyâ - and monstrous western commentators point to it and say, âbut look, Israel is doing all it can to minimise the loss of lifeâ. Itâs sickening.

What the fuck!?
My mother has dementia, Dadâs been dead since I was a teen and Iâm an only child. Just what the fuck do you suggest I do???
She drives me fucking potty at times but sheâs my mum and Iâll be there for her. The only family support is her sister and sheâs got plenty of her own crap too (sick husband etc)
Iâd still be doing this if I was stuck in Gaza (although I doubt Iâd be decorating).
Unbelievably annoyed over your commentâŚ
Edit. Have you any idea how difficult it is without support? Hereâs two examples. 1) She has gone through a stage of thinking I dont like my dad. I do. But she keeps dragging it up. Fuck you dementia! 2) My wife and I, alone, are trying to decorate her (bed)room as her house. Without he noticing things are disappearing from her place to ours.

Hey LY. As someone who is a primary care person for my elderly mother (who, thankfully, doesnât have dementia) I have deep sympathy for your situation.
Sending love through the interweb.

Second that @LocalYokel - care and comfort for our loved ones in need should be fully supported by all but particularly by the State in terms of resources, real caring assistance not just daily but also providing carers with recouperative breaks for a few days each month.
cheers

This struck me as the wise response @Evvy_dense, thank you. Or saying nothing. I accept though that Rob is correct to some extent in the latter part of his contribution what he says. I choose to (try to) live in the moment and do what I have to do in that moment. Just as Aly, Loke, and others do/are doing. And I wish them well in that effort and hope they will be kind to themselves, too.
Letting our emotions run away from us is so wholly human, but so ultimately self-defeating. And that doesnât leave enough energy for when we really need it; i.e. when the psychos do come for us. Sorry if that seems sanctimonious.
As I write, IDF are specifically targeting the Al Shifa hospital, which is under siege. Snipers, tanks, and no doubt much more. Things are so bad that casualties are not being released to their next-of-kin but are being buried in one or more mass graves inside the hospital compound. This is the only comparatively safe way to prevent the further spread of disease. The hospital has no electricity.
At MoA B described the current Israeli policy, which could change any minute*, as 20 hours per day of genocide with 4 hours of ethnic cleansing (the so-called humanitarian pauses during which people walk to the less dangerous Northern Gaza sector).
- Nasrallah emphasised in his 1111 speech that Netanyahu seemingly has no strategy at all, itâs merely manic vengeance. Keeping him frantically running around is a deliberate response, maintaining the capacity to gradually escalate. Not so different from the approach Russia has been taking and continues to take.
Although that may be correct, up to a point, itâs fairly clear that Bibi is the fall-guy here and that darker forces are operating behind him. Britain is very prominent in that cadre, even if dupes like Sunak protest otherwise. British Gas currently has exploration rights to gas found beneath the territorial waters off Gaza but those rights only have about a year to run now. Gazprom expressed an interest, should the agreement lapse, and would no doubt offer better terms.
Ah⌠but⌠look⌠US battalions of ships just happen to be sailing nearby. So too one of Britainâs aircraft carriers, presumably with propeller/s working at the moment, shortly to take delivery of a batch of Lockheed fighter jets. Whichever of these gets struck first will prolly be the causus belli for blitzing Iran.
Unfortunately I have no futile gestures to make that will change any of this, but hope sanity and not far greed will somehow prevail.

Do you people really think that I donât have problems dealing with sick/elderly relatives?
Iâll just say again that more than 5,000 children have been slaughtered in Gaza.
Are you ok with that? It sounds like you are.
Donât you just love the Hasbara. From Israel with loveâŚ
I canât be bothered giving links. Just a few headlines amongst whatâs been one of the biggest demos in human history (London, Paris and Barcelona were amongst the biggest):
Infants at Gazaâs Al Quds hospital are facing dehydration due to a shortage of breast milk alternatives, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced on Saturday.
Only 7 out of the 18 ambulances belonging to the Palestinian Red Cross Society are functioning in Gaza and the northern regions
Dr. Mohammed Obeid, a surgeon at Al Shifa hospital, shared his testimony with MÊdecins Sans Frontières today, saying:
âThere is no electricty⌠There is no water. There is no food. Our team is exhausted. We had two neonatal patients die actually beause the incubator is not working because there is no electricityâŚ
We are nearly sure that we are alone now. No one hears usâŚ
The problem is to be sure that we canât evacuate the neonatal patients because we have about 37 to 40 premature babies.â
MÊdecins Sans Frontières reports that medical staff in Gaza have become so overwhelmed by the amount of incoming patients that the surgical board used to keep track of upcoming surgeries has been erased and replaced with the following words:
âWhoever stays until the end will tell the story. We did what we could. Remember us.â
Hey @LocalYokel . My sister in law has dementia and it came to a head with an ambulance, two paramedics, three policemen, and three social workers arriving to take her into care. Now in a permanent care facility.
As the homeboys say, âI feel you brotherâ.

@KarenEliot . Great considered response. I feel physically sick every time I open my PC, get on my phone or switch the telievison on. But I canât stop watching Aljazeera, Press TV and others making me sicker every day. The best I can do is write unemotional considered complaints to the BBC (the British Bullsh_t Corporation for any uninitiated), Talk Radio (watch Julia Harley Brewer shilling for Israhell if you donât understand why), and what used to be my MP in England.

We can only do what we can. Being awake to the egregoreâs manouevres counts for a lot and I really think more and more people are in this camp.
Some kind of âunitingâ false flag is almost certainly on the cards and one of those USS hell machines hulking around the Med seems an odds-on bet. But I wouldnât rule out something in France, Iâm sorry to say, because Macron now seems to be arguing for cease-fire and that is seriously off-message. A two-pronged attack on (1) âuncontrolled immigrationâ declaring open season on non-Aryans, and (2) the starting flag for retaliation against Iran.
I very much hope I am wrong but speculating âaloudâ may mean that the NSA picks up chatter that some of us are guessing a move or two ahead. It ainât much, sure.

There was also a significant protest in Cape Town. Thereâs a large prosperous Jewish community, itâs the San Francisco of ZA in many ways.
re media reports on Jewish opposition to the genocide:
I donât half get fed up with âJewsâ being wheeled out to decry Israelâs crimes. What the fuck is wrong with anyone and everyone objecting to mass murder and not wanting to be complicit? What makes âJewish opinionâ special? Why do âtheyâ have to be credited with exceptional status in this affair? Its the same old divide and rule shite as its been for ever. Are we supposed to derive some extra-important hope for the world because some people originating from Eastern Europe, with or without funny hairstyles and clothing, are making pronouncements? Lots of them just want Israel not to be quite so obviously nasty. Great.
(It reminds me of all the good medics being wheeled out to oppose the âCovidâ âvaccinationsâ while still subscribing to germ theory and the allopathic model which are, between them, undermining the physical and mental health of most, unsuspecting, people all over. But that one has been relegated to the back burner along with Ukraine for the time being only.)

Hereâs a good one (which is being very quickly scrubbed from the internet)âŚ
Herzog: Copy of âMein Kampfâ found in childrenâs bedroom in north Gaza
And hereâs the preamble:
âIsraeli troops found an Arabic translation of Hitlerâs Mein Kampf on the body of a terrorist in a childrenâs living room in a private home in northern Gaza turned into a military base, President Isaac Herzog revealed in an interview with the BBC Sundayâ
One of the Bills that looney Charlie passed with the recent closing of Parliament was the building of a massive Holocaust museum right next to the HOP.
Like, thereâs never been any other massacres in history (try the Crusades, for starters).

Karen, Iâve been surprised by the amount of pro-Palestine demos, and the size of them.
If you want me to be cynical I would venture that this support ties into a slew of other things. Ie. most peopleâs lives in the West are now crap, and perhaps, even on a sub-conscious level, many people realise that they are going to be next.
