Labour split over UK-'Israel' trade deal grows amid Gaza genocide

"Today, when commentators draw parallels between the rhetoric, tactics and ideology of the populist right in Western democracies, and the language and tactics used in 1930s Germany, they are often vilified. ‘This is no more than hyperbole’; ‘there is no comparison between the appalling outcomes seen in Europe in the 30s and 40s and the words and actions of far right politicians today’; ‘it could never happen in a modern democracy’.
This conveniently forgets that similar complacency underpinned the policy of appeasement in the 1930s."

It was just after sunset on Friday when an Israeli missile slammed into an UNRWA building in the middle of Jabaliya refugee camp in north Gaza, killing four people—including a child, according to eyewitnesses—and severely damaging a food distribution center, warehouse, and health center run by the UN refugee agency.
“The entire area was destroyed and turned to rubble,” Al Moatassem Shalayel, 20, told Drop Site.
