It seems to be beyond some news agencies to report from Syria AND Gaza. It's as if events in Syria have hoovered up all the journalists and now Gaza doesn't exist. It's been deleted. Nothing is there. There is nothing to report. Nothing to say.
And what have you actually done, HM Govt, to prevent thousands of women and children being killed in Gaza and the West Bank?

How can we support and facilitate this women’s revolution? Words are not enough and gender issues need to move up the agenda. The silencing of an entire nation of women is a failure of the worlds. #UNWomen
A powerful feminist movement is emerging in Afghanistan in response to the Taliban’s misogynistic rule, paving the way for an Afghan women’s revolution that could ultimately lead to the Taliban’s downfall.
“Come, oh sky, and weep with me” As the Taliban BANNED women from attending medical institutes today & told them to GO HOME — female students in Badakhshan sang a Persian song heavy with sorrow and longing. A cry for freedom, for dignity, for the right to dream.
Why say nothing? Because you feel, in no particular order, embarrassed, a prude, shocked, waiting for a male colleague to call him out, not wanting to “rock the boat”, thinking it’s better to plough on with the day, assuming you misheard/misunderstood or just don’t get the joke.
Exactly this
It’s not that standards have changed. Women always felt creeped out by predatory, lewd men. It’s just that now women feel able to challenge. Older, middle class women more able to challenge than freelance junior women. It’s our duty💪💪💪 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Robert Young wrote the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on euthanasia. He freely admits that around 40% of cases are without the patient's consent: "of those terminally ill persons who have been assisted to die about sixty per cent have clearly been cases of voluntary…
Jeremy Corbyn : “if we ignore whats happening to the Palestinian people then we become complicit" He turned out to be right . The ICC have issued a arrest warrant for @netanyahu

A reminder why legalising assisted suicide does and will create a two tier system... For more, please watch Better Off Dead? @BBC @OpenUniversity It is the ONLY tv programme that has ever been commissioned that explores why some people oppose legalising assisted suicide...
#AssistUsToLive ✅ “Suicide Prevention for some, Suicide Approval for others”. Ever wondered why disabled people are so opposed to legalising Assisted Suicide? Watch the full BBC documentary by actor and activist @TheLizCarr bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
When a woman is diagnosed with cancer, one of the many things her oncologist must explain is that her husband will probably leave her. Now it seems that a woman is lucky if her partner simply leaves, instead of “putting her out of her misery.” The quotes below are sickening.…
This beautiful 2-year-old girl Ivana Skakye sustained horrific life changing third-degree burns over 40 per cent of her total body surface area as a result relentless bombardment by the Israeli military in Southern Lebanon. If you are not outraged by this, you have no heart.
1166 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from going to school. 706 days since the Taliban banned women from going to university. Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world that bans girls' education. #16days #ViolenceAgainstWomen #NoExcuse

This is different. “This is the darkest thing I have ever seen in my whole life” says Holocaust-survivor Gabor Mate. We are forced to watch genocide live, realtime, and we are unable to do anything.
"We cannot allow, in a way that is akin to a Clockwork Orange, that the live-streamed genocide and its associated apathy desensitise us to the violence, normalise the oppression, dissociate us from its moral failure, or to legitimise the illegitimate. We cannot allow it to…

Observer owner Scott Trust has delayed making a final decision on the sale to Tortoise after meeting this afternoon, but said that "talks continue to progress and there are a few outstanding points".
