Human rights for human beings! Stop killing civilians who present no threat!

[Anton Barbashin @ABarbashin]

The future of Russian #propaganda is messing with AI tilting it towards Russian narratives.
In fact, there are already hundreds of Russian websites that generate millions of articles a year that almost no one reads - the goal is to feed this content to AI systems

Palestinians routinely tortured to death

"At least 98 Palestinians have died in custody since October 2023, Israeli data shows. Real toll likely substantially higher as hundreds of detainees from Gaza are missing, says NGO Physicians for Human Rights"

My ten cents worth on ten years of fuckery with Robbie Gibb from my time as editor of @Channel4News to trying to get @BBCNews to broadcast our film on Gaza, through No 10, Brexit and Israel the self appointed defender of impartiality, who has utterly destroyed it.

American comedians are helping #SaudiArabia whitewash repression.

Comedians @DaveChappelle @azizansari @WhitneyCummings @billburr @jimmycarr & others taking the stage in Riyadh this week should speak up for Saudis jailed for exercising their free speech.

Over the past 10 years, the UK has had:

- 6 Prime Ministers
- 8 Chancellors of the Exchequer
- 9 Foreign Secretaries
- 10 Home Secretaries

Tell us again how First Past the Post leads to stable and effective governments.

The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) is a proscribed terrorist group.

Yet its band marched through Belfast on 12 July 2025 without arrest.

Meanwhile, nearly 1,000 were detained yesterday for solidarity with Palestine Action.

The law is clearly not being applied evenly.

I write about the experience of living in a genocidal society. I realize the need to share prescriptions for "solutions" with me, starting with "go back to Europe" and ending with "fill your car with food and water and drive towards Gaza until you are stopped". I will do neither. I think both are attempts to make the genocide personal, a way of saying "I'm not a part of this". Thing is, I am a part of this.

I don't hold with penance as an antidote to evil. I don't think recusing myself from the horrors perpetrated by Israel serves to stop the horrors or to establish my credibility. I don't want to establish anything. I will not deign to speak for the Palestinians. I cannot, and will not, document the genocide. I will certainly not speak for Israel and for Israelis. I will try to be a human being, deeply flawed by nature. I will respond. I will attempt to embrace good and reject evil. At times I will be angry, at times cynical, at times silent. I cannot and will not satisfy or please. I have no desire to prove anything. The evil is apparent and requires no astute analysis. I will hope my words can cross the abyss that rightfully separates Israel from the world. I will write them even if they don't. They not a tool or a weapon. They are the most basic expression of my existence. Sharing them is the only way I know of acknowledging and embracing all other human beings.

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

Atrocities have been committed by Hamas, yes. So were atrocities committed by Bandera and his followers. If you use Bandera to deny Ukrainian nationhood you are a Russian propagandist. If you use Hamas to deny Palestinian nationhood you are an Israeli propagandist

[Ori Goldberg @ori_goldberg]

Israel is trying to "take" the Gaza neighborhood of Zaytoun for the seventh time. The seventh time! When you hear that the first six times failed because not enough force was used, that is a lie. Gaza was destroyed but Israel is still lost in Gaza. Genocide make you dumb.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

A reminder that the famine in Gaza is NOT due to a lack of available food. It is due to Israel's genocidal refusal to allow that food into Gaza, let alone to allow UNRWA, with by far the largest capacity, to deliver it. https://t.co/jbbIwF5l9u

[Ori Goldberg @ori_goldberg]

If there's one thing cancer has given me (well, except for losing a lot of weight) it is a constantly growing clarity regarding what is good for me and what is bad. I spent most of my life as a pleaser and a pacifier, validating myself in a reflection of other people's fulfilled desires. That is no longer the case.

It is bad for me, mentally and physically, to argue about the pros and cons of genocide. I refuse to dignify any discussion about the minimal caloric intake required to keep a starving Palestinian alive. I get winded quickly just listening to jeremaiads about the suffering of Israelis negating the suffering of the Palestinians. More than anything, nowadays, I blow a gasket when hearing about the "inevitable outbreaks of antisemitism" that have nothing to do with Israel's "necessary" crimes.

Perhaps it is the understanding that comes with illness, the awareness of the village every human being needs to become fully human. Perhaps it is the life force pulsing in the vein. In any case, my bit of wisdom is to see your commitment to the good not just as an expression of rage. Think of your hard work as another aspect of an attempt to lead a good, meaningful life. There is no escaping anger and bitterness. But the presence of the good here and in general is a sight for my sore eyes. It is a force to behold. Embrace it and practice looking back as little as possible. In the words of the old western adage, fuck the genocidaires and the horses they rode in on.

remains imprisoned under "administrative detention", Israel's way of making Palestinians disappear. He & thousands of others held unjustly by Israel must be freed immediately and unconditionally.

This is not an exaggeration. Everyone who follows me knows that I always convey the reality exactly as it is. If aid does not enter within the next 48 hours ، with infant formula and flour at the forefront ، then prepare for the largest mass death crime in history.

We have been living in famine for many weeks, and we are all suffering from severe malnutrition. Our bodies are not ready ، they cannot withstand a total lack of food for even two days!

Our bodies are already frail. We’ve endured more than a year and a half of deprivation, and over two months of near-famine, during which we survived on the bare minimum amount of bread ، with no other nutrients at all.

Now, there is absolutely nothing to eat. Nothing, in every sense of the word.

@dieworkwear My Great great grandmother, a Quaker, sold eggs until she could afford a wedding ring, so family legend has it.

[Ori Goldberg @ori_goldberg]

73 dead so far in the daily death coralles massacre in Gaza. The IDF no longer bothers to deny or pretend. Palestinians must do as they are told - arrive at the corrales at a moment's notice but without lingering beforehand, queue for hours in unberabale conditions while remaining still as statues, and all this as they are weak with hunger and thirst. If they stray in the slightest they are a "danger to the troops" and must legitimately be shot dead.

It isn't just the lives taken. For this to occur daily there must be a system in place, a system issuing guidances and instructions, a system letting the soldiers know they can kill with impunity. These massacres cannot be repeated day in and day out without the existence of a system. The existence of a system reflects intent and execution. This is genocide.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Believe it or not, between this morning and noon in Gaza, Israel killed 65 people who were trying to get food near the Zikim aid crossing in northern Gaza. Then, at 2 P.M., it bombed a shelter in Khan Younis, killing another seven people.
