Here are photos I took in February of 2025 of Israeli soldiers walking house to house in the town of Yaroun, Lebanon. They were rigging homes with C4 explosives for multiple days in a row; taking the day to rig them and then detonating them in the evening. They flattened several neighborhoods during the period of time.

In the photos you can see IDF soldiers wiring the homes and carrying C4. You can also see a truck transporting a large amount of the explosives.

This was not self defense. Each detonation is an act of genocide.

@MelanieLatest It is so unfair to call them settlers. They’re straight up terrorists.

[Angry Lebanese @Angrylebanese]

Let me make it simple
“Settler violence” is not a libel against 750,000 Jewish settlers. It is a description of documented violence committed by certain settlers and groups against Palestinian civilians - Fact

Pretending that condemning arson, assault and forced displacement is somehow an attack on all Jews is disingenuous and a cynical shield for the perpetrators - Fact

Jewish history in the land is real, but is not a legal licence to occupy territory, build settlements, demolish houses or remove the people already living there - Fact

Last but not least, Palestinians are not “Arab colonizers”
They are the population that is being displaced by the settlers while the settlements create the actual “facts on the ground” - Fact

You know this, you just choose to ignore it

@MelanieLatest

Historic connection does not trump legal right.
West Bank was never part of Israeli state sovereignty and that settles are illegal is the established international view.
Israel IS occupying West Bank and settlers and settlements ARE illegal.

Adding further, Why do you support settler terrorism?

Even former Shin Bet chief had a moment of clarity and recognised the cunty settler terrorists.

@MelanieLatest Everything is libel for you!
Your ability to create a parallel reality about who is the colonizer while the settlers wage daily pogroms against the Palestinian people is insane.

The “settler violence” libel is being used to demonise all 750,000 Jewish residents living in the disputed areas of Judea, Samaria and eastern Jerusalem. This is being done to erase the Jews’ historic legal claim to these territories, push them out and replace them by Arab colonisers to create “facts on the ground” that make a Palestine state appear inescapable.

The “settler violence” libel is now a strategic threat to the world’s only Jewish state.

“President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu… both fighting wars…”

Incorrect @Channel4News

Netanyahu is not fighting a war. He is overseeing the genocide in Gaza and is wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

After a FOI request into Lisa Nandy’s meeting with Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotolevy, the Labour government refused to provide further details.

Instead, Nandy’s department said that they would prioritise:

“…protecting relations between the United Kingdom and Israel.”

I was honoured to write the foreword for Anne Irfan's book "A Short History of the Gaza Strip"

A brilliant must read chronology of Israel's 8-decades long war on Gaza & repeated attempts to ethnically cleanse the enclave since 1948 until today

I personally learned a lot of otherwise buried & unknown history. One of the book’s most important contributions is that it gives the Palestinians, & Gazans in particular, a voice: https://t.co/2nMrVniX8w

Tragically, this is no surprise. Goa & the Manali Himalayas are full of damaged kids, ex-IDF conscripts, high as kites, trying to live with the horrors they have been ordered to commit & find ways to justify things they've done which they know deep down to be profoundly wrong

Have I Mentioned It's Great That Lindsey Graham Is Dead?

Lindsey Graham’s funeral was today, and as I watch all the worst people in the world express their grief at the loss of their dear darling friend, I find myself awash with gratitude that this particular warmonger lived a shorter life than such creatures often do.

Some psychopathic murderers never stop killing until they are imprisoned or dead. Since American war criminals never go to prison, it is a fortunate thing that Graham kicked the bucket when he did.

Filmmaker Alex Holder has shared video footage from an unreleased documentary he’d been working on in which the late South Carolina senator is seen gushing orgasmically at Trump’s February announcement of the US-Israeli war on Iran.

“Look what we’ve done here. I almost cried. How long have we been pushing this?” Graham says with joyous laughter while the president’s announcement plays on the television, adding, “There are a lot of people inside who didn’t want to do it, so I had my challenges.”

“I talked to Trump this morning, he’s jacked, he said, ‘best thing I have ever done.’ He loves blowing stuff up,” Graham said triumphantly.

Holder also released footage of Graham speaking with Joe Biden’s former national security advisor Jake Sullivan back in March, assuring him that the Iranian government was going to start losing control of the country in “three to four weeks”. So we know he lived long enough to see himself proven wrong, just as all US warmongers eventually are.

Meanwhile The New York Times has a new report out citing Holder’s footage detailing how Graham colluded with Benjamin Netanyahu to assemble a bipartisan group of US lawmakers to denounce the International Criminal Court’s investigation into the Israeli prime minister’s mass atrocities in Gaza. Graham’s ability to pull strings in Washington is placed on full display as we see how the senator skillfully moves everyone into place, joking with Netanyahu that “I should get tons of shekels” for all the moves he was pulling off to protect the prime minister.

At his funeral on Tuesday, Graham’s favorite president Donald Trump was seen dozing through the proceedings before getting up to eulogize the deceased lawmaker with the words “He was extremely hawkish; I will tell you, he never saw a war that he didn’t like.”

Hilariously, Fox News war propagandist Sean Hannity followed the president’s comments saying “Lindsey, he was often unfairly characterized as a warmonger; I’ve heard that false criticism a lot.”

To be clear, in the months leading up to his unexpected demise, Lindsey Graham had advocated for direct US military interventionism in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Yemen, Nigeria, Lebanon, and Palestine. He died shortly after celebrating his 71st birthday at a Ukrainian drone factory. If Lindsey Graham was not a warmonger, then nobody has ever been a warmonger.

Lindsey Graham was not only a warmonger, he was the warmonger’s warmonger. He was easily the single most bloodthirsty psychopath on Capitol Hill, and I am exceedingly glad that he is dead.

There will be other omnicidal war sluts to take his place, to be sure. But at least this particular monster cannot hurt anybody anymore.

She was 22 years old. An Italian model who walked out of a casting meeting in Manhattan and went straight to the police. They believed her enough to ask her to do something extraordinary - Go back. Alone. Wearing a wire. She walked back in and recorded him admitting what he had done.
The NYPD had the evidence. The Manhattan DA had the tape. They dropped the case anyway. Her lawyer alleges Rudy Giuliani used his connections with the NYPD Commissioner to bury it. She signed an NDA. The tape sat in a drawer for two years.
Then Ronan Farrow published it in The New Yorker. The recording the DA said wasn t enough became the smoking gun that broke the story open. Harvey Weinstein was convicted in 2020. She made all of it possible.Her name is Ambra Battilana Gutierrez.
She's one of hundreds. I find the ones history buried. Stay tuned before i post the next one.

[TVP @Theveripost]

She recorded him admitting what he did on tape in 2015. The DA buried the recording. Two years later it brought down the most powerful man in Hollywood.
You've never heard her name. Without her there is no #MeToo.
