#DeclassifiedUK | ‘Humanitarianism’ in Gaza distracts from getting justice

"Take the Daily Express article titled ‘The suffering of little Muhammad clinging on to life in Gaza hell shames us all’, accompanied by an image of an emaciated child. Hailed as a shift in editorial stance, it came after the paper repeated claims made by Israel – not supported by independent evidence – that Hamas “deliberately hides behind civilians or beneath hospitals” and steals aid.

While the article expresses horror at Gaza’s conditions, it omits key causes: Israel’s blockade, the obstruction of aid and the inadequacies of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The silence practically deflects blame from Israel."

Declassified UK · ‘Humanitarianism’ in Gaza distracts from getting justiceThe political and media establishment has finally begun to acknowledge Palestinian suffering, but this shift remains hollow until those complicit in Israel’s genocide are truly exposed

@voxofgod the Commonwealth doesn't want the USA, that's not going to happen. Also, I'm kinda of getting the impression you think it's a bit like the EU? Commonwealth is basically just the old British colonies kinda maintaining some cultural (and sometimes head of state) ties after independence. In practice it just means some countries like Canada and Australia still have the UK monarch as a powerless head of state. We don't get freedom of movement like the EU gets. I don't think we even get special visa conditions.

In practical terms, being a member of the Commonwealth means your country gets to take part in the Commonwealth games. And maybe extra diplomatic help in other Commonwealth countries if you don't have an embassy there. Um. That's it afaik 😅

Btw New Zealand is not disability friendly for immigration. There was a big story a few years ago where a British man was offered a high paying job there and was told he can take his wife and older child, but his disabled daughter was not given residency.

When trying to find the article, I found these:

'Donald #Trump suggested that the #US could join the #British #Commonwealth on Friday in a post to #TruthSocial, his #socialMedia platform.

The president shared an article from British #tabloid #TheSun reporting that #KingCharlesIII was making a "secret offer" to the #WhiteHouse, and that plans are in process for the #USA to become an associate member of the international organization.

"I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report'

"Nearly 250 years after America declared independence from Great Britain, President Donald #Trump suggested he was open to taking a small step back towards the warm embrace of the British monarchy after a media outlet reported that King Charles III intends to extend an offer for the United States to join the #Commonwealth of Nations."

This timeline is so stupid.

Better than him declaring war on anyone else though, I guess.

Royaler Friedensstifter: Gerät König Charles III. zwischen die Fronten?

Am Commonwealth Day steht König Charles III. als Oberhaupt des Staatenbundes im Fokus. Zuletzt nutzte die britische Regierung ihn gleich mehrfach als diplomatischen Joker. Für Charles ein Drahtseilakt. Von Mareike Aden.

With all the trolling from south of the border and the ridiculous talk of annexing Canada, or expelling us from any membership or group is nothing but school yard bullying. Canada is a part of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth is made up of 56 countries and 2.7B people. We are part of the G7, UN, NATO and the world leader in peace keeping. Our Economy is entwined with the USA an attack on ours is attack on their own. We have global trade relations and we have global integrity. I’m a proud Canadian and the people of Canada 🇨🇦 have spoken.

Irish Times survey: "Voters in the South [of Ireland], as well as voters from a Catholic background in Northern Ireland, are more strongly opposed to Commonwealth membership than they are to NATO membership."

Despite joining NATO having significant foreign policy implications and joining the Commonwealth being purely symbolic, albeit of British hegemony.
