After Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, IDF forces responded with airstrikes, leveling Gazan buildings. The violence so far has claimed the lives of more than 2,500 people. Western media, however, show far more interest and have much greater sympathy with Israeli dead than Palestinian ones and have played their usual role as unofficial […]

London’s Massive Pro-Palestinian Rallies
Class politics is nowhere more visible than in the protected slaughter of game, with disastrous effects on the countryside.
./from thefreeonline on 15th Oct 2023 George Monbiot at Monbiot.Com/
It’s one of the bluntest expressions of class power in the United Kingdom. Like all expressions of class power, it has become normalised until we treat it as a fixed fact of national life.
I’m talking about the bronze plague that spreads over the British lowlands every year, wiping out much of our wildlife: pheasants.
The pheasant shooting season has begun, appropriately coinciding with the Conservative party conference. Killing them requires no physical exertion and a limited skillset, as the birds are driven over the heads of the shooters by people hired to flush them out of the woods.
The men (almost all are) with the guns spray shot at the low-flying birds, killing some, wounding some, missing others. One estimate suggests that between 30% and 40% of all the pheasants shot are wounded and not recovered, dying slowly in the woods.
As always with politically protected activities, there’s a dearth of reliable data. The government agency, Natural England, estimates that between 39 and 57m pheasants and 8 to 13m red-legged partridges are released in the UK every year.
This means that, at the time of their release in August, there is as great a weight of these non-native birds at large in Britain as of all wild birds put together.
Pheasants and red-legged partridges hoover up everything from flower seeds, fungi and insects to lizards and baby snakes, frogs and baby birds, radically altering the ecology of the countryside.
Foxes are snared or shot in their tens of thousands, members of the crow family are relentlessly persecuted, weasels and stoats (among our most fascinating and least-appreciated mammals) are trapped and killed in unknown numbers – and these are just the legal assaults on nature.

Critics of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have accused him of hypocrisy for harshly criticizing Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip after Hamas attacked Israel, pointing to the civilian casualties caused by his government’s airstrikes on Kurds in Syria.
On Saturday Hamas fighters carried out an unprecedented surprise attack on Israel, launching thousands of rockets from the Palestinian enclave of Gaza and crossing the border with hundreds of militants.
This morning, a UAV targeted the refugee camp #Mexmûr, leaving 50-year-old women Ayşe Muhammed Ahmed wounded. People came together on the spot & later held a protest in front of the local hospital, criticizing the
for not protecting the camp, as it is their responsibility.
The Islamist group killed more than 1,100 Israelis and more than a hundred people, prompting Israel to retaliate by pounding Gaza.
“Water is not being provided to Gaza. There is no electricity, it’s not being given. We don’t know the situation of the hospitals, whether they can operate or not. Unfortunately, places of worship, hospitals and schools, all are being ruthlessly struck; while these things happen, the world is silent. No one is saying anything. What about human rights?” Erdoğan posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday.
Erdoğan’s tweet drew the ire of many, who branded his plea for preventing civilian suffering as hypocritical, highlighting the Turkish government’s airstrikes targeting Kurdish settlements in northern Syria.
The official X handle of the pro-Kurdish Green Left Party (YSP) quoted Erdoğan’s tweet and said, “A large portion of Northern and Eastern Syria is unable to receive water and electricity, multiple hospitals have been bombed and rendered unusable. Agricultural areas have been bombed, and those responsible have openly admitted to committing this war crime!”
