Three Palestinian babies freeze to death in Gaza as winter sets in
Why would I need introspection? 😆 It wasn't me who lied to the public and put British pensioners at risk of hypothermia this winter, which according to their own research could kill 4000 of them. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/winter-fuel-payment-cut-labour-deaths-b2609340.html But no, let's ignore that. Doesn't fit their agenda. Let's deflect to the situation in Gaza and heap more blame on Israel. Typical of anti British, anti Semitic leftists at the BBC and Labour. -

Agree. You can post facts until doomsday, and they are ignored as an inconvenience. Usually, it is trolls. -

Gaza Famine Alert Retracted Amid Diplomatic Backlash & Incorrect Data
Lets start off with credible links to your claims first....... Once you've done that then absolutely, my sources will be linked to, or you could just find them yourself, there's a new topic about it but I see you have real difficulties with facts -

The Azerbaijan Airlines plane was shot, most probably by anti-aircraft fire. If you look carefully at the pictures that are available, the hole damage is from the outside going in. This debunks the suggestions that there was an internal explosion, or that one of the engines fragmented (the holes are in the tail, a long distance from the engines). So, I conclude that the airliner was a friendly-fire incident (even though it was around 600 miles east of any position reached by Ukrainian drones to date). With regard to the safety of the Russian shadow fleet of tankers, there are several salient characteristics to be understood: Older Ships: Many of the vessels in the shadow fleet are older and may not meet modern safety or environmental standards. These ships were often built in the 1990s or early 2000s and are generally less efficient or less reliable than newer, more modern tankers. Their age and condition can make them less seaworthy, and they may require more maintenance or face higher risks of mechanical failure. Unseaworthiness: Some of these vessels are indeed considered unseaworthy by international standards. They may lack the necessary safety certifications or be in poor condition due to limited maintenance and the difficulty in accessing quality spare parts. Because these ships are often banned from international markets, their operations are confined to specific regions or routes, where they can operate with less oversight. Uninsured: Due to the sanctions and the reluctance of major global insurers to cover Russian vessels, many of these ships sail without proper insurance. This poses significant risks in case of accidents, spills, or other incidents, as the owners or operators may not have the financial backing to cover potential damages. Flagging: To evade detection and inspection, many of these vessels change their flags regularly. They might register under countries with more lenient regulations, known as "flags of convenience" (e.g., Liberia, Panama, or smaller nations with fewer maritime regulations). Some vessels also operate under "ghost flags," where the ship may not have a registered flag at all or might falsely display a different nationality to avoid scrutiny. Just bringing some facts to the discussion.- 1
