    You might be right but regardless, what’s happening is abhorrent. End of.

    You don’t care about the genocide?

    Shame on you, you are despicable.

    Keir Starmer spotted preparing himself for the realities of signing a trade deal with the US.

    The G7 has been described as G6 + 1, which helps explain Trump’s early exit as that maths was way too complex for him.

    ??? That's quite a leap based on the exchange.

    I am perplexed by America. Vance was stating yesterday that the America First policy orevails and this means no interference in foriegn military intervention that has no bearing on rge US. By the evening Trump has convened a govt meeting to discuss assisting Israel bomb Iran.

    I think we should impose sanctions on Israel and US.

    The US is just a proxy state for Israel at this point.

    "As of end of June 2025, the UN reports 55,000 Palestinians have been killed, with nearly 70% of verified victims women and children "

    "At least 100 children have been killed every day since the resumption of hostilities in March 2025. Since the war began, approximately 17,800 children have been killed with many more injured or displaced."

    There is also this report, that states Israel bombing caused "largest single day" death toll for children past year.

    https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-eas...or-children-in-past-year-unicef-chief/3513581

    Sources from BBC, Al Jazeera and Save The Children.

    Bear in mind this is mainly verified reports and, the total is going to be higher, especially with aid being blocked and bombs still being dropped. We hardly see what's happening now as the main talk is about Israel/Iran. Absolutely horrific, our country (UK) make weapon parts and fly surveillance aircraft over Gaza and report back to Israel. Politicians and people who agree with this are complicit in an ongoing Genocide.

    That being said, health conditions such as pretern birth complications, pneumonia, diarrhoeal conditions, malaria, malnutrition, etc (all of which are treatable, but we don't live in a just world) cause millions of children's deaths annually; in 2023 approximately 4.8 million children under 5 died worldwide.

    I won't go in to child slavery, but that's another factor to consider; I'm using a phone in which materials are sourced by that. Pretty much everyone reading this is...

    Anyway, I'm all for protest and standing up for your rights. But let's try and keep the truth the truth and not turn in to an echo chamber.

    Right, I've got to go to work!

    While it is an exaggeration to say that Israel kills more children than anything else, it’s still true they have killed an awful lot of children in Gaza. Don’t forget 75% of the population of the Gaza Strip is aged 24 or younger. That was the point of my post, which was fairly obvious.

    Puck couldn’t wait to point out the inaccuracy of the meme, good for him.
