Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Good. Don't care where you stand, the genocide has to stop.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Thousands of people marched through central London on Saturday to show solidarity with Palestine and to reiterate calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The protest, part of a global day of action, comes after the RAF and the US military carried out airstrikes against Houthi bases in Yemen.

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which organised the event, claimed “hundreds of thousands” of people had joined the march.

Little Amal, a 12ft giant puppet of a Syrian child refugee, accompanied protesters as they marched towards Parliament Square.

Speaking at Parliament Square, the Palestinian ambassador to the UK, Husam Zomlot, accused the British government of “complicity” with Israel.

Sinn Féin’s president, Mary Lou McDonald, told the crowd in London that Palestinian freedom is possible.
