#DeclassifiedUK | ‘Humanitarianism’ in Gaza distracts from getting justice

"Take the Daily Express article titled ‘The suffering of little Muhammad clinging on to life in Gaza hell shames us all’, accompanied by an image of an emaciated child. Hailed as a shift in editorial stance, it came after the paper repeated claims made by Israel – not supported by independent evidence – that Hamas “deliberately hides behind civilians or beneath hospitals” and steals aid.

While the article expresses horror at Gaza’s conditions, it omits key causes: Israel’s blockade, the obstruction of aid and the inadequacies of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The silence practically deflects blame from Israel."

Our U.S. national white racism also randomly punishes white people for no reason whatsoever. If you are from #Aotearoa/New Zealand, or any #Commonwealth nation, regardless of your race, I strongly recommend you avoid my country. #Uspol

Nimittäin, nyt myös #Australia ilmoitti tunnustavansa Palestiinan.

@voxofgod the Commonwealth doesn't want the USA, that's not going to happen. Also, I'm kinda of getting the impression you think it's a bit like the EU? Commonwealth is basically just the old British colonies kinda maintaining some cultural (and sometimes head of state) ties after independence. In practice it just means some countries like Canada and Australia still have the UK monarch as a powerless head of state. We don't get freedom of movement like the EU gets. I don't think we even get special visa conditions.

In practical terms, being a member of the Commonwealth means your country gets to take part in the Commonwealth games. And maybe extra diplomatic help in other Commonwealth countries if you don't have an embassy there. Um. That's it afaik 😅

Btw New Zealand is not disability friendly for immigration. There was a big story a few years ago where a British man was offered a high paying job there and was told he can take his wife and older child, but his disabled daughter was not given residency.

When trying to find the article, I found these:

'Donald #Trump suggested that the #US could join the #British #Commonwealth on Friday in a post to #TruthSocial, his #socialMedia platform.

The president shared an article from British #tabloid #TheSun reporting that #KingCharlesIII was making a "secret offer" to the #WhiteHouse, and that plans are in process for the #USA to become an associate member of the international organization.

"I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report'

"Nearly 250 years after America declared independence from Great Britain, President Donald #Trump suggested he was open to taking a small step back towards the warm embrace of the British monarchy after a media outlet reported that King Charles III intends to extend an offer for the United States to join the #Commonwealth of Nations."

This timeline is so stupid.

Better than him declaring war on anyone else though, I guess.

I am a #hillbilly. From #Appalachia. And here’s the elegy for #rural localities from the folks they elected.

As much as $1 out of every $5 of public budgets in #rural #virginia counties comes from…taking money from rich states outside VA and sending it through the #federal gummint to #rural localities. More pronounced after 2020.

Common weal in the #commonwealth.
Aka wealth redistribution.
Aka the S word.

You’re welcome, y’all.

“Have you EVER said thank you (JD)?!?!?”
