you’re appalled a flag got knocked over.
we’re appalled that europe facilitated a genocide.
We are appalled by reports that MEP Rima Hassan knocked down the Israeli and European flags displayed at the European Parliament as part of an exhibition honouring the victims and hostages of the October 7 massacre.
If confirmed, this goes far beyond political disagreement or provocation. These flags formed part of a memorial to the victims of the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and to those abducted by Hamas. To deliberately interfere with such a memorial, on the eve of the anniversary of the attacks, would show a profound contempt for their memory and for the suffering of their families.
That such an incident is alleged to have taken place inside the European Parliament makes it all the more serious. We call on the Parliament to establish exactly what happened, make the relevant evidence public and, if the allegations are confirmed, take appropriate disciplinary action.
The victims of October 7 and the hostages deserve dignity and respect. Their memory must never become a target for political provocation.

Well after today’s announcement from the Bank of England, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system... 😡
So … let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.
Something needs to change.
Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....
COPIED AND PASTED FROM OTHERS :
PLEASE KEEP IT GOING SO MORE AND MORE GET TO SEE IT .
People will read that and then with a straight face still try tell you that illegal immigrants and ethnic minorities and Muslims are the problem. Mental.

Just a reminder that one day, kids will study Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu the same way we studied Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

Netanyahu is actually hitler but people don’t care since his crimes ain’t against white people
Dear God,
I sit in the comfort of my bed writing this,
crying out of shame and sorrow and pain.
While I have warmth, food, safety, and freedom, over 11,000 Palestinians remain imprisoned.
Suffering some of the most horrifying
conditions known to man. Waiting to die.
Oh Allah, free every innocent captive.
Ease their pain, comfort their hearts,
reunite them with their families, and
replace their suffering with relief quickly.
Oh Allah, do not let their suffering continue.
Do not let their suffering happen in silence.
Do not let us become people who forget them.
Ameen. Repost this if you read this post.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez:
“We received a letter today demanding that Lamine Yamal be suspended because he raised the Palestinian flag yesterday during the celebrations of FC Barcelona. I think this is something laughable — asking me to suspend a player simply for raising the Palestinian flag.
I believe FIFA should instead be contacted to prevent you from participating in football because of what you have been doing for more than three years: systematic killing and genocide carried out in the most horrific ways.
Lamine Yamal will be honored, and this flag will become an icon of celebrations in the streets of Spain from today onward.”

So you're telling me that we had 53,000 stabbings in the UK last year, but two Jews get stabbed in a single incident and suddenly we're having a Cobra meeting?

My brain can’t comprehend how a monkey and a penguin get more attention than an actual human baby, starving in the middle of a genocide. People in Gaza deserve to live too. No child deserves to be starved to death or shot in the head.
