Dozens of Youth Demand supporters have taken to the streets, demanding that the UK government impose a total trade embargo on Israel, and make the super rich and fossil fuel elite pay damages to communities and countries most harmed by fossil fuel burning.

The actions were a surprise – as the group had previously stated it would be taking direct action every Tuesday and Saturday during April.

Israeli army forces demolished a new Palestinian home near Tulkarem city in the occupied West Bank on Monday, witnesses said.

Army forces forcibly evacuated Palestinian residents from the house in the town of Far’un, south of Tulkarem, and bulldozers razed it for allegedly lacking a building permit, they added.

Israel widely uses the pretext of a lack of construction permits to demolish Palestinian homes.

Analysis: "How Israel Executed 15 Medics & Rescue Workers in Gaza"

"First, they had to stop the ambulance, the UN vehicle, & the fire truck. Then, they had to tie up the rescue workers. Then, they had to shoot them (repeatedly). Then, they had to flatten the vehicles they were in, & then they had to use a bulldozer to bury the vehicles."

They were executed "at point-blank range..approx 20 gunshot wounds (each) to the head & chest."

Outrage is growing over Israel's killing of 15 Palestinian medics and rescue workers north of the Gazan city of Rafah in the predawn hours of March 23.

Israel initially claimed the convoy had suspiciously approached troops without headlights or flashing lights, but video footage shows the ambulances had their lights on when Israeli troops opened fire, unleashing a barrage of bullets

Ik schaam me dat ik in dit land woon.
Vijf hulporganisaties riepen het kabinet op om duidelijker stelling te nemen tegen het escalerende geweld in Gaza. Maar het kabinet gaat niet meer doen dan Israël aanspreken op naleving van het humanitair oorlogsrecht. Nou, dat zal ze leren!
Voor het Israelische leger weer een groen sein om verder te gaan met bombarderen en moorden.
