Black line cartoon drawing, with shading and shadows in grey.

Oblique aerial view of 2 falling bombs with fins, swooshing down toward two figures. One, a woman in Palestinian dress, looking desolate, on her knees, bent over a child lying broken, lifeless, in her arms. There’s a patch of red on the ground under the child’s head.

The other figure, standing with a camera behind the woman, recording the tragic scene, is a journalist, capturing this one instance of the unspeakable horror, the immense human cost of the Apartheid State of Israel’s Gaza Genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

The shadows of the 2 figures and of the bombs that are about to wipe the figures from existence lend a layer of poignancy to the simple, starkness of the depiction.

The bomb are each emblazoned with the six-pointed Star of David between two sets of close parallel, horizontal lines, on the body of each bomb, just below the neck beneath the 4 fins. On the bomb above the woman and child are the words “NO MERCY”. On the one above the journalist are the words “NO WITNESS”

They listen to Netanyahu and Trump, so "defence" spending will rise to an absurd and horrific 5% of GDP.

Each Javelin round costs $80,000, and the idea that it's fired by a guy who doesn't make that in a year at a guy who doesn't make that in a lifetime is outrageous.

Black line cartoon drawing. shading and shadows in grey.

Oblique aerial view of two bombs with fins, swooshing down toward two figures. One, a woman in Palestinian dress, desolate, on her knees, back bent over a child that rests broken, lifeless, in her arms. A patch of red is on the ground beneath the hanging child’s head.

The other, stood with a camera some distance behind the woman, is recording the tragic scene; a journalist, wearing a blue jacket with the word PRESS on the back, capturing this particular instance of the unspeakable horror, the vast human cost of the Apartheid State of Israel’s Gaza Genocide, its ethnic cleansing of the land of Palestine.

The soft shadows on the ground of the figures and of the bombs above them lend a poignancy to the starkness of the scene.

The bombs are emblazoned in blue, with a blue six-pointed Star of David between two sets of close parallel, horizontal lines, depicting the flag of Israel.

On the bomb heading for the woman and child are the words “NO MERCY”. On the bomb above the journalist are the words “NO WITNESS”

We have completed our very successful attack on Hawaii. All planes are now outside of America air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Pearl Harbor. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great Japanese Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter

Starmer & his RefUKLite Centrist Lab apparatchiks collaborate with war criminals currently in charge of the Apartheid State of Israel. They callously neglect the welfare and wellbeing of the people of Food Bank Britain, but massively fund the arms trade.
