Systematic violence and human rights violations are not exceptions to Israel's apartheid regime and occupation, they are integral to it. Israel is using unbridled violence in all the territories under its control, as well as in Lebanon and Iran.

Since October 2023, this policy has escalated:

In Gaza: tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, millions forcibly displaced, entire neighborhoods and infrastructure systematically destroyed

In the West Bank: about 1,082 Palestinians killed, including 239 children and teenagers; 61 communities with at least 4,161 members forcibly displaced and another 15 partially so, with at least 454 members displaced

In Israeli prisons: thousands of Palestinians subjected to systemic torture, violence and humiliation, in inhumane conditions

Under Israel's apartheid regime, Palestinian lives are treated as expendable and millions across the Middle East are at risk.

Solidarity with the People of Bolivia in their ongoing heroic struggle against predatory & parasitical Neoliberal Capitalism.

[contra @contra_press]

🇧🇴 🇺🇸 | Civil war-type scenes are emerging from Bolivia.

The government passed a law authorising US-backed President Rodrigo Paz to deploy the military against protesters.

Bolivian police and military forces have launched a joint operation to clear strike blockades in San Julián, Santa Cruz department, as a five-week general strike against neoliberalism continues to grip the country.

The crackdown came with full government backing — multiple ministers arrived for what was intended as a photo opportunity declaring victory over the movement.

Instead, entire communities mobilised, forcing security forces to retreat after more than four hours of sustained resistance on the highway.

The mobilisations, demanding the resignation of President Rodrigo Paz, have left at least ten people dead, 37 injured, and over a hundred facing prosecution, according to the Ombudsman's Office.

Meanwhile, in El Alto — the indigenous city encircling the capital — daily popular assemblies are being held where communities vote on strike strategy and assess the movement's progress. A new form of grass-roots democracy is taking shape on the streets.

Scotland’s “green data centre” policy framework is in open collapse. More than a dozen Scottish data centre projects in planning, including the £8.2 billion Lanarkshire AIGZ, would collectively draw roughly 6.2 gigawatts, equivalent to one-and-a-half times Scotland’s entire winter peak demand. Scotland’s National Planning Framework 4, the document theoretically governing these decisions, was last analysed in 2022 before ChatGPT existed. Its underlying modelling assumed data centre emissions would be offset by reduced commuting. AI-scale workloads were never modelled. The “green” designation being applied to these projects has no enforceable emissions standard. It is a label, not a standard.

This girl found out that the Albanian island that the Kushner’s are buying is registered in Amsterdam by Zvernic South Adriatic Development & it’s owned through a chain of Dutch Shell Companies & it’s managed by a trust office.They’re really trying to hide the owners names well.

Labour Together, the Zionist faction that got Starmer into power is very much still controlling the Labour Party - which means that Morgan McSweeney and Peter Mandelson haven't really gone away - whether that's Palantir still in the MoD and NHS or jailing anti genocide protesters or watering down the rules around political donations so that companies can give unlimited money to political parties, or choosing Andy Burnham as Starmer's replacement - they're still at the heart of government and we should be worried

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.

Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.

Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.

Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.

At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.

This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.

What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

They say Scotland is too poor to stand alone.

The truth is the opposite.

Scotland is too rich to be released by a colonial state built on extracting its wealth, resources, labour, territory & strategic position.

Empires do not surrender profitable colonies willingly.

Faced with an employment tribunal hearing and a massive backlash, Leeds University has backed down two years after it stripped academic rights from an emeritus professor, James Dickins, for expressing views in solidarity with Palestinians.

This is the same Leeds that notoriously employs as its Jewish chaplain a man who served in Gaza in Israel's genocidal army.

A 'ceasefire' in Gaza that still blocks food isn’t ceasefire.

it's starvation managed by press statements.

Forced starvation is an act of genocide.

Lol. Such a bullshitter. The UK is the global capital of surveillance and literally pioneered signals intelligence. The govt don't give a crap about kids — they drop bombs on them all the time. This is all an excuse so they can backdoor devices.

Scotland is going to be charged £1 billion for the privilege of suppling energy to England?

And then we get charged the highest rate

AI data centres are expected to consume 9.3 trillion litres of water annually by 2030 - the equivalent amount to the water supply requirements of 1.3 billion people in Sub-Saharan Africa. Plundering the natural resources requirements of people for the greed of the tech giants.
