The apparent discrepancy between their intelligence capabilities in locating HAMAS members in Gaza and the lack of forewarning regarding the Oct 7th Attacks on domestic soil warrants an independent investigation. #GazaGenocide‌ #Gaza_under_attack_now #Israel

🔴ELIMINATED: Rafa’a Salameh, Commander of Hamas’ Khan Yunis Brigade

Salameh was one of the masterminds behind the Oct. 7 massacre and commanded over plans for the development of tunnels in the Khan Yunis Brigade.

Additionally, he took part in combat support operations and defensive plans for Hamas during Operation Protective Edge in 2014.

@IDF an independent investigation to ascertain whether there were, apart from the alleged intelligence failure, other factors at play. (2/2)

Brazen, open call for genocide by a right-wing poster boy on south Asia’s leading multimedia news agency.

Horrifying and shameful that this man is given platforms to spew his venom.

Biden could stop the slaughter in Gaza with a single call. Sign the petition to demand he stops arming Israel: https://t.co/0fEQKTVrEC

BREAKING: Israel has used white phosphorus in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, putting civilians at risk of serious and long-term injuries.

White phosphorus causes excruciating burns and can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful.

This thoughtful and humane post by an Israeli is worth reading amid the tragic news coming in since yesterday: https://t.co/qLd8amqW1l
There is never any excuse for terrorism and India must condemn it unreservedly. But there is no excuse for dehumanizing occupation either and that too must end. Both the Israeli people and the Palestinans deserve to live in peace, dignity and security in their own lands.

As much as I sympathise with the horror Palestinians have been going through since the past few decades, I cannot support the attacks by HAMAS, killing innocent civilians, including women and children, and broadcasting it for the world to see. Shame! #IsraelPalestineWar

गोदी मीडिया दस साल से ज़हर फैला रहा है। विपक्षी दलों को अपना आलस्य छोड़ जनता तक पहुँचने के लिए दूसरा रास्ता खोजना चाहिए। कार नहीं है तो पैदल चलिए। आप इन्हें जितना भी विज्ञापन दें, इनके एंकरों को इंटरव्यू दें मगर चुनाव में सिंगल कॉलम स्पेस नहीं मिलने वाला है। 2019 का ही कवरेज़ देख लीजिए। 2024 में भी यही होगा। विपक्षी दलों के नेता इन चैनलों में कैसे जा सकते हैं? सभी को एक प्रतिनिधिमण्डल बना कर मुकेश अंबानी के पास जाना चाहिए। कहना चाहिए कि उनके चैनल पर बैठ दो एंकर ज़हर फैला रहे हैं। आप क्यों इन एंकरों के सामने लाचार हैं? क्या ये एंकर अंबानी समूह के मालिक हैं? NBDSA ने फ़ाइन किया है। सुप्रीम कोर्ट की कई टिप्पणियाँ हैं। मुकेश अंबानी का नाम लेकर अपील करनी चाहिए। फिर जनता के बीच जाकर हर भाषण में इन चैनलों और अख़बारों के बारे में बताना चाहिए। हर रैली और हर पदयात्रा में। अगर इतना नहीं कर सकते तो फिर घर में रहिए। जो गोदी मीडिया से नहीं लड़ रहा है वो लड़ ही नहीं रहा है। बाक़ी सब ख़ानापूर्ति है।

We won!!! Kudos to those who fought valiantly against this bill. With this we have saved millions of cats and dogs(amongst others) from being killed for food and their products. The Live-stock and Live-stock Products [Importation and Exportation] Bill, 2023, stands withdrawn!

[balaj iqbal @BalajIqbal]

Do we want this for our country? If not, then speak up against the barbaric THE LIVE-STOCK AND LIVE-STOCK PRODUCTS [IMPORTATION AND EXPORTATION] BILL, 2023 that enables the government to export dogs and cats as livestock. #saynotolivestockbill #saynotolivestockbill2023
