RTD and crew were clearly not wearing their Zeedex when they wrote specific aspects of the scripts for Children in Need and 60th anniversary Specials.
I liked Doctor Who when the walls were made of cardboard, but I’m having problems when the characters are cardboard.

I've been proceding cautiously about accusing Joe Biden of being pro-genocide, but after that last package of artillery Joe sent to Israel, I've come around to that way of thinking, you'll be pleased to note, @LALegault
That, and last night's edition of Gaza Corner aired by KALW's Dore Stein, from whom I made note of this website, tracking the treatment of children since 'way before Oct. 7.

"Israel could exterminate the entire population of Gaza and its supporters would still be saying “WHAT ABOUT OCTOBER 7??”...
👇 The best piece on the Gaza genocide I've seen by far. So much to take away and remember. I may repost it to distraction. It's that good
"Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf has condemned the UK's abstention on a draft UN resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, saying this would lead to the deaths of more children."

It does a disservice to all Jewish people to conflate opposition to human rights abuses and war crimes with Anti-Semitism. Failure to to act on these injustices is what radicalizes people and spreads support for violent uprisings.
Does anyone seriously see the ongoing domination and subjugation of Palestinians as a pathway to peace and safety? The extreme violence of the current regime let alone the consistent cruelty of past administrations; and ultimately the indifference of the global community, is what has led us to this moment.
If we zoom out, and honestly and objectively look at a 25 mile wide by 7 mile wide slice of land enclosed by high walls and high tech military barriers where all the 2 million people inside are the same ethnicity and nationality, live in abject poverty and without basic human rights its hard not to see it as a fundamental injustice that must be corrected. The appropriate response would be to say "not in our name", and to support peaceful efforts to make things right.
We need meaningful discussion of a pathway to peaceful coexistence from intelligent influential leaders. Its a bummer to see so many post that claim to be about protecting us as Jewish people but in fact potentially leave us in more danger.
Ceasefire and negotiation of the return of the hostages is the only option and it needs to be the beginning of real change. Bombing only puts the hostages and all Jewish people in more danger.
Ultimately the real anti-Semites are empowered by this whole situation. Being Jewish should not be synonymous with support for radical Zionist politics or committing human rights abuses. I fear as a community we let our trauma blind us to damage we are doing to others. Hurt people hurt people. We need to end the cycles of violence before it spins completely out of control.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders refuses to even meet with constituents demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, and many have given up on him. “How many thousands of more lives lost will it require for you to take a stand?”
Don't Let Fabricated Outrage 'Distract From Genocidal Violence in Gaza' .
Naomi Klein warns that supporters of a #CeasefireNOW must stay focused on Israel's mass killing of civilians and violations of international law—and resist efforts to distract the public.
"All these hearings are smoke + mirrors to distract from genocidal violence in Gaza.
it's so obvious and yet so many people take the bait. Don't.
Keep sharing reports from Gaza."

"Israel has detained 36 medical workers — doctors, nurses & ambulance drivers — whose whereabouts remain unknown...
International law allows military forces to detain combatants. But they may arrest or detain civilians only “if it’s absolutely necessary,” said Omar Shakir, the Human Rights Watch director for Israel & Palestine. Civilians must be charged within 48 hours & allowed to challenge their detention... or released."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/09/gaza-civilians-detained-israel/
"“You have to have a very high bar if you are going to detain #civilians,” Shakir said. “It can’t just be, ‘Well anyone could attack us any time.’”
“Israel’s #abusive and #discriminatory detention practices over decades of #occupation raise significant doubt if detention is meeting those standards,”...
Hundreds of Gazan workers stranded in Israel were also imprisoned."
