[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

Yesterday, at Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, a girl-child came into this world, and the world rejected her. She had no brain. Not in the poetic sense of innocence or purity, but anatomically, literally: anencephaly. No cerebrum. No future thought, no dreams, no memory to be made. A skull empty of purpose. She was full-term. Her mother carried her for nine long months, through burning nights and weeping mornings, through dust, grief, and sirens. And then, birth. But no life to save. Only silence. The doctors stood helpless, mocked by the limits of their hands.

I saw them, people of medicine, their skilled, sterile fingers trembling. Not from confusion, but from recognition. Teratogenic damage. Developmental failure. Genetic disfigurement, not by chance, but by war. Bombs struck not only buildings, but chromosomes. The weapons, steel, shiny, American, fell not just to destroy the present, but to corrupt the womb. To poison the idea of tomorrow.

What do we call this horror? Radiation? Dioxins? Depleted uranium? Invisible toxins that do not kill quickly, they wait. They embed, cross placental walls, and twist the neural tube. They disrupt life before it begins.

There are more cases. Miscarriages. Premature births. Malformed limbs. Cleft palates wider than sorrow. Spinal cords like broken scrolls. The doctors whisper now, this is no cluster. It’s a pattern. A Lancet study warns of up to 200,000 indirect victims, not from blast wounds, but from genetic harm passed down to generations unborn.

But the world is deaf. It counts the dead by explosions, not deformities. It tracks casualties by limbs lost, not genes shattered.

And here, beneath the rubble, the deepest wound is in the womb. I saw her yesterday. The mother. She didn’t cry. She only looked. Her arms were empty. She had carried a daughter with no brain. But the child had eyelashes. Fingers. And that’s the most terrible thing: that life tried. That the body obeyed. That, even in apocalypse, the cells kept building.

Somewhere, another child may be born marked by air their mother once breathed. And they won’t know why.

They say war ends. That ceasefires come. That healing is possible. But how can it end when it lives in cells? When the placenta becomes a battlefield? When biology becomes the archive of war?

This is not just a war of fire and steel. It’s a war against life. Against women. Against the act of birth itself.

I have seen death, bodies torn, lungs gasping under broken ribs. But never have I heard a silence as loud as when a mother delivers a child already condemned by the sky above her.

And so I write. Not to accuse. Not to weep. But to remember.

Because some weapons do not explode.
They incubate.

For over 35 years, I have witnessed UNRWA operations in all 5 areas of operations – Gaza, West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. I have met with every single UNRWA CG since the early 1990s. My first boss was head of UNRWA operations in Gaza when the first Intifada broke out

💔 More mass graves discovered; about 200 bodies near the Nasser medical complex in Khan Yunis 🇵🇸

It's showing Israel's brutality and genocide in Palestine.

Where are the so called @CIJ_ICJ @NATO @UN @OIC_OCI and the human right champions?

[Muhammad Smiry 🇵🇸 @MuhammadSmiry]

This is a list of people killed in one airstrike in Rafah ( south Gaza Strip)

The last 15 of them are children aging from 15 years to 1 year old!

Someone tell me what the hell is this?

Wales is treated like garbage when it comes to UK coverage

Imagine, for a moment, how the UK wide media would react if the Prime Minister had done the following when running to be party leader:

- Taken a donation from a criminal.
- That donation had been 6X the spending limit for the contest.
- He'd lobbied regulators on behalf of the same company that had illegally dumped waste on a conservation site.
- Been the minister responsible for a state owned bank that gave the company that gave him a £400k loan, less than a year before the same donated £200k to his campaign.
- On the same day he accepted the donation, the company also put in a application for a solar farm that required the approval of the Government he was campaigning to form!

On top of all this, when challenged about this he dismissed any criticism as "unserious" journalism.

There are clearly massive questions to answer but as it is Wales no one gives a toss. There has been barely any coverage compared to seriousness of the story. Imagine if this was in Westminster or even Scotland.

The right wing press can't even be bothered to use it as a stick to beat Keir Starmer.

That is how irrelevant Wales is.

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

Remember the companies that gave £200K to Vaughan Gething's campaign to be First Minister?

Well 11 months before they received a £400k loan from the Welsh Gov-run Development Bank of Wales.

This was when Mr Gething was economy minister & the bank was in his portfolio.

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is still too silent about the war in Gaza. Following my viral tweet last month, this is the updated & expanded version of how I see things based on >1000 articles and 1000s of videos/images of the war. 🧵of summary conclusions:

For all you ethno-facists in my comments making the absurd claim Israel doesn't have military tunnel and bunker systems beneath civilian infrastructure, I'll refer you to one of your own publications:

Every accusation, a confession... The IDF embeds itself among the civilian population and uses human shields.

An Israeli quadcopter is roaming Nuseirat camp in Gaza and playing the sound of a baby crying.

When people go to help what they think is a baby in need, they are shot and killed.

Sort yourselves out @novaramedia

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

I am writing this statement as unfortunately Novara Media have left me little choice. In light of the organization’s refusal to address the actions of one of its senior employees that led to the persecution of three young women of color and their ultimate conviction under the UK’s racist and Islamophobic counterterrorism laws, I have asked that my interviews be removed from their platforms.

Amidst an ongoing genocide, and at a time in which Palestinian political expression is under attack, this staff member chose to collaborate with the British police and the right wing media in their campaign of persecution, incitement, and hate-mongering. This has caused serious legal and social repercussions and psychological harm to the individuals involved.

I have been the target of countless smear campaigns which I have usually disregarded as background noise. However, I chose to speak out in this instance, even though it did not directly affect me, because the silence of Novara, an organization self-described as “always politically committed,” represents a complete failure in upholding the principles of accountability, solidarity, and anti-racism, and should concern us all.

One might argue that Aaron Bastani’s actions fall within the realm of free speech, however, exploiting an atmosphere that is already hostile to Palestinians and collaborating with the British establishment to smear, police, and punish us and our allies sounds less like free speech and more like harassment and incitement. Where does Novara, an institution that purports itself to be a voice on the side of justice, stand when one of its staff members causes such harm? Bastani’s actions—and his colleagues’ silence—must not be separated from this context. Demanding accountability is not “sowing division,” what is divisive is putting a target on the most vulnerable among us, the most susceptible to state violence.

Novara’s above-average reporting on Palestine is not a gift they are bestowing upon us, it is as simple as journalists doing their job. It does not give them a special license to police our movement. (There is a joke to be made here about British institutions and colonial legacies.) If Novara wants to contribute to the larger anti-capitalist, anti-racist movement, it has a responsibility to hold itself accountable for violence that is produced within its own institution.

[Greg Stoker @gregjstoker]

Israelis finally starting the recognize the defeat we called out six months ago?

Anyways, this “journalist” manages to bring BDSM into his analysis, which is… unsurprising at this point…

A spike missile manufactured by Israeli state-owned arms company Rafael was used to kill World Central Kitchen personnel in Gaza.

Three of them were British citizens.

Rafael has a factory in the city of Newcastle, UK.

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

The biggest problem is not Western journalists being unable to enter, but the fact that Western media doesn't respect and value Palestinian journalists. My colleagues and I risk our lives every day to report on this genocide . No one knows Gaza like we do, and no one understands the complexity of the situation like we do. If you care about what's happening in Gaza, you should amplify Palestinian voices. We don't need Western journalists to tell our stories; we are capable of telling and reporting on our own stories.

“One of the guys [Israeli soldiers] points a gun in my face and then chest. Literally laughed at him.”

Raz, Syed & Ismail provide a powerful testimonial of the events that unfolded on the Al-Aqsa compound where they were attacked by occupation forces during one of the holiest nights of Ramadan.

The #spycops inquiry has started publishing documents for Friday's preliminary hearing. So far it's submissions from the Met Police & BBC, as well as a note from the counsel to the inquiry. They give an idea of some likely topics that'll be covered tomorrow, let's take a look 🧵

[Jarfi @IdrisLleu]

@CinziaYates @punkistani93 Less of a fight? I would say that armed resistance to the occupiers 500 or so years following annexation is a substantial fight. See: MAC, Meibion etc.
