There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says
British doctors working in Gaza have described the territory as a ?slaughterhouse,? where the patients they are treating are severely malnourished.
Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.
Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,
It is time to talk about the Out of Control Immigration. Mon Mar 31, 2025 22:12 | imc
For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3The Turkish army is shelling the Kurdistan province of Iraq right now. The Iraqis have asked them to stop, thinking that chemical Ali's hanging in the region will make everyone sweeter than liquorice. The Iranians have also shelled Kurdish positions in Iraq. As of this morning the Turkish have filed a formal request with the US government for an explanation of US supplied ordinance being used by the PKK who this afternoon moved from their positions in the Taurus mountains.
Sure everyone know that. It's plain to see. And we don't need anyone telling us about the little nougat hearts or additives in the wrappers now. If you want the best sweeties you don't leave your milk tray, black magic,quality street or any other popular example of the confectionery portfolio on the table in the lounge or livingroom. But if you stick the box under your quilt in weather like this everything except the toffees will melt and go gooey. Whereas if you put them in the refridgerator (or cooler as north americans call it) you'll break a molar on the caramel. My advice to ye all would be store them in a cool & dry place out of direct sunlight . But at end you've got to build a bit of trust with whomever you share your lounge with. If you don't give those others somesweeties they mightn't let you watch telly or eat your turkish delight. -So leave the sweets there but let them know which ones are your favourite and warn them to never ever go sneaking under the first layer of paper to get at the bottom fondant centres (should they be your favourite).
For their part the Russians who suspended all previous arms limitations understandings with the West have preferred not to directly comment on what is hoped will amount to no more than electioneering on the part of the Turkish but do sort of mention the word smack. Now smack is bad news. We've all gone through that before. Sure don't we know. don't mention it.
You're right Miriam & Dave - the Iranians are misrepresented all the time by the Irish Times and others and you know they aren't really the greatest threat to the region or the world.

I haven't opened a thread on this topic for a variety of reasons. I'm hoping Mim & dave don't mind this information being appended to their article illustrating how Iran is mis-represented by the Irish Times and the West. Last Friday I asked regulars on the very eclectic anti-war front in Ireland to consider Kurdistan and the role its future was always going to play in the future of Iraq and peace for the region and particularly to rethink its importance given the slow but significant moves to troop withdrawl by both US and UK in the last 72 hours. http://indymedia.ie/article/83356?&condense_comments=fa...01159
That particular thread has since been closed in time honoured fashion by its author.., Since then as I reported the Turkish have massed their military in an unprecedented show of strength on the border with Kurdistan, that nugget of info has been mostly ignored by the western press with one exception - the remaining part of the "radio liberty" network have picked up on it, http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2007/07/51FDDAA6-C....html which to be quite frank gives little "indepedendent of CIA psy-op" credibility to the other comment I left drawing attention to the Pentagon's denial of Turkish mobilisation and complete ignorance of Ankara's demand that the use of US weapons and technology by Kurdish rebels be investigated.http://indymedia.ie/article/83356?&condense_comments=fa...01223 (background info in Radio Liberty : http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/03/336584.html
As of a few hours a twin carbomb attack in Kirkuk obviously aimed at an office of a Kurdish political party has left over 80 dead.http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6782425....html http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSYAT713362200..._iraq
Since the illegal invasion of Iraq, Kurdistan has been the quietest of the zones of the state of "Iraq", it has also seen the most porous border infiltration. Today on another thread ( http://indymedia.ie/article/83456 ) attention has been brought to the strictness with which the Iranians (who have shelled Kurdistan alledgedly hitting Kurdish rebel positions [PKK] in the last week) keep their eastern frontier with Afghanistan (in the NATO administered block not US). As an aside the UK experience in the south of Iraq has given ample proof of how seriosu the Iranians are about keeping those near drumlin shifting dunes of graval or sea a "defined border". I again ask you all to consider what is going to happen next. I again remind you that Kurdistan is the problem peg for either a Western UN security council solution for Iraq or an "eastern" Tehran orientated Islamist solution. Another reason for leaving this here - was simply that I mentioned the Russians. & yep they're very silent on this.
Say no! to a turkish invasion of Kurdistan!
Oppose psy-ops and covert actions in Kurdistan!
Stop mercenary or other covert forces destabilising the region through Kurdistan! jayzhus you write your own slogans.
Thank you Mim & Dave.... I hope you understand my reasoning is appending this info. on your thread.

I seriously dislike the anti-Iranian vibe in the media. I'm probably one of the few YFG members that thinks Iran isnt a threat. The president comes off a bit crazy, but I have recieved a few e-mails from him, he's not some "blood thirsty arab". Infact I dont think he is even an arab. Only 3% percent of the population is arab.
