Dear @mehdirhasan please talk about this too?
REVEALED: The scandal surrounding Gaza's failed winterization efforts lays bare a grim reality: Hamas obstructed attempts to protect Palestinian civilians before the devastating winter storms that flooded tens of thousands of tents.
Palestinian Authority employees inside Gaza essionals from the Ministries of Public Works and Relief Affairs were intimidated, summoned, and coerced by Hamas into signing pledges not to undertake humanitarian projects without the group's approval. According to their accounts, those who defied Hamas risked so-called "field justice," including beatings and worse.
Several officials, including Najla Hammad, Ihab Al-Bahtiti, Khaled Abu Safiya, Wiam Aboul-Nasr, Dr. Adnan Hamouda, and Ahmed Abu Zaiter, have publicly stated that efforts to build more durable fiberglass housing and improve conditions for displaced civilians were blocked.
Another example was a proposal that was put forward to demolish several heavily damaged towers which were at risk of collapse from rainwater after extensive bombardment. According to those involved, Hamas blocked the removal of the “Bank of Palestine Tower” in Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood, reportedly arguing that it would "collapse from the rain anyway." The terrorist group did not show any concern for the civilian lives that would be lost when the tower eventually collapses on its own, because it wants dead Palestinians and news of tragedy to keep Gaza in the news cycle and to gain global sympathy, hoping for more incoming resources and donations for the Strip’s humanitarian and reconstruction needs that it could siphon.
Additionally, Hamas has also been accused of obstructing construction projects intended to create safer communities for displaced Gazans in southern Gaza, prioritizing political control over humanitarian relief.
This is a reminder that Gaza's suffering is not only a consequence of war. It is also the result of a fascist and ruthless governing power that repeatedly places its own interests above the welfare of the people it claims to represent. The same terror group that helped bring catastrophe upon Gaza continues to obstruct efforts to mitigate its consequences.
As floodwaters sweep through displacement camps and families endure another winter in misery, the question is unavoidable: how many Palestinian lives could have been spared had Hamas allowed humanitarian, housing, and reconstruction efforts to proceed unimpeded?

Derek is all out of fucks today. 🤣
Not true. Hegseth gets his clothes from a company called Book a Tailor, which he confirmed in a Fox News segment. I suspect he got his clothes for free in exchange for this mention on Fox News. The company owner confirmed in an interview that their suits are made in Thailand.
In ted this company, three US suit factories have faced closure. Instead of promoting US-made clothing, Hegseth promoted cheap imports that undercut US manufacturers.
You only think they're made in the US because the clothes are plastered with US flags. This is because you are more easily impressed by spectacle than substance, which is why this administration is so exciting for you.

Disgraceful. @piersmorgan @haynesdeborah Cluster warheads on ballistic missiles from Witkoff's favourite Humanitarian..
It’s now officially confirmed.
Tonight, russia struck Kyiv’s historic centre with an Iskander ballistic missile carrying a cluster warhead.
58 submunitions explode in mid-air, designed to inflict maximum casualties across a 400 × 400 metre area.
“This strike had no military o destroy part of the old city and injure as many people as possible,” said a Ukrainian presidential adviser.
No military objective. Just terror.

The Orange stain he leaves on this world will be talked about, studied, ridiculed and lamented for centuries.
Trump, Hitler, Putin. Names that will live on forever to describe the most evil men in history.
Atilla the Hun & Chairman Mao's descendants are relieved.

George Galloway posted this photo today with the caption "What if this was your Dad? #Gaza."
This man is not in Gaza and he is not Palestinian. He is Syrian, like me.
His name is Mohammed Mohiedin Anis, known as Abu Omar. AFP photographer Joseph Eid took this photo in March bu Omar's bedroom in al-Shaar, eastern Aleppo, the neighborhood devastated in the regime's 2016 offensive to retake the city. Abu Omar was a collector of antiques and vintage cars. The war took his home and most of his collection. He came back anyway, sat on his bed in the rubble, lit his pipe and played a record. The whole world knew this picture as the face of Aleppo's destruction.
And Galloway knows exactly who destroyed Aleppo, because he was on their payroll.
In 2012, Galloway began hosting a show on Al Mayadeen, the Beirut channel that has never disclosed its backers and is widely seen as the voice of Iran's "Axis of Resistance." He was reportedly paid around £3,000 an episode. He also presented on Iran's state channel Press TV, and spent nearly a decade on Putin's RT.
The Axis: the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah, the Iraqi militias, the Houthis and, until December 2024, the Assad regime. For over 13 years after the 2011 uprising, Assad survived only because the IRGC, Hezbollah and Russia fought his war for him. When the regime finally collapsed, he fled to Moscow and was granted "humanitarian" asylum. The same humanity he denied every Syrian he bombed.
Who doesn't remember the barrel bombs on bakeries and markets? The sarin in Ghouta and Khan Sheikhoun? The chlorine in Douma?
Galloway remembers. On his show he called Assad "the last bastion of Arab dignity." When Assad gassed Douma in 2018, Galloway pushed the "staged attack" conspiracy, even though the OPCW confirmed chlorine was used.
None of this is new. This is the man who stood before Saddam Hussein in 1994 and saluted his "courage" and "indefatigability." He was suspended from the House of Commons after an inquiry found strong circumstantial evidence that Saddam's regime, with his connivance, used the Oil-for-Food program, meant to feed starving Iraqi children, to fund his Mariam Appeal campaign.
In 2014 he declared Bradford an "Israel-free zone": no Israeli goods, no Israeli academics, not even Israeli tourists. Police logged it as a hate incident.
Last year he flew to Tehran to accept an award named after Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, called him a "martyr," and boasted that his most treasured possession is Haniyeh's personal passport. Then he flew straight to Moscow to applaud Putin's Victory Day parade.
Today, the self-proclaimed anti-imperialist lives in what he calls "exile," broadcasting from Russia and China, lecturing the West about freedom.
This is not an honest mistake. It is the method of Galloway and his camp, and it is what they mean by "by any means necessary." When the truth doesn't serve the cause, you invent a new one. A Syrian father, ruined by Assad and his Iranian and Russian patrons, becomes a Gazan victim of Israel. The real killers get erased, and the propagandist who defended them on their payroll gets applause from a Western audience that never bothers to check.
Syrians remember who bombed Aleppo. They remember who went on TV to defend it.
Abu Omar is not your propaganda, shameless George.

There are stupid Americans and really stupid Americans. Then there is this guy.
The U.K. releasing of 5 terrorists that tried killing American armed forces is unforgivable. It is a flat out betrayal.
Most likely they have ties to Iran. A country the U.S. is at a war with. They were captured on "allied" soil and the U.K. released them.
I've said this before, America has no allies.
This is why Trump, tariffs the shit out of them. If I were Trump I would tariff the U.K. at 200% for doing this to the United States.

A PSA: do NOT download the White House app. It is doing something very weird with the sandbox permissions you give it. Which I’m not sure yet, but is likely against every service term and developer agreement on earth. I downloaded it so you don’t have to onto an air gapped old e, asking for way too much personal data, and attempting to bypass location services permissions. Aside from the propaganda, it’s a security nightmare.

Someone just had to burn a $500 cushion.. :(
🤔 how he puts a dark pillow
Under his ass
That’s for 2 reasons
1) he knows he’s incontinent and the Mrs taught him well 😂
2) sitting from too low a position is kryptonite for him now. The pillow adds a few inches And those few “s decide if he’s getting up on his own or not

Funniest thing I’ve read all day.
An influencer claims her holiday has been ruined after paying a Cornish local £50 for directions to a secret beach.
Surrey-based content creator Chardonnay Skye, known online as ChardOnTour, had been searching for somewhere to film on Cornwall’s north coast.
“I was hoping to to make content, but there were tourists everywhere,” she explained.
After stopping several people on the coast path and asking if they were local, Chardonnay eventually found one.
“I asked him if he knew any secret beaches. He looked around, lowered his voice and whispered, ‘I can, but it’ll cost ya.’”
After handing over £50, she was instructed to take another path and walk for approximately one mile.
“After about 20 minutes, I reached a car park and thought I’d gone too far. I didn’t want to ask anyone where the beach was in case they found it and I didn’t get it to myself.”
Three hours later, as darkness approached, she finally gave in.
“I found another local and explained that it was okay to tell me where the secret beach was, because I’d already paid somebody else for the information.”
The man allegedly burst out laughing and replied, “You’ve been had, bird. The nearest beach is about ten miles that way and it’s not secret.”
Chardonnay has since declared that her holiday has been “completely ruined” and vowed never to return to Cornwall.
Thick as 🐖 💩. Influencer my arse. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't reply as massie blocked me. This isn't about boots on the ground, dumbass, it's about supporting them with arms and capabilities to defend themselves. My kids boots will be on the ground eventually if we don't stop Putin!
When do you deploy? How about your kids?

All of this.
Since its foundation in 1824 the bravery of Royal National Lifeboat Institution volunteers has saved more than 146,700 lives at sea.
Hundreds of those volunteers have died attempting to save others. They are the best of us.
Any person or organisation questioning their actions try should be corrected and ostracised.
Anyone can drown, but no one should.
