[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

This is who lobbied the British government to ban the IRGC:

- Jewish Leadership Council (JLC)
-Board of Deputies of British Jews
- Campaign Against Antisemitism(CAA)
- We Believe Alliance (merging We Believe in Israel and National Jewish Assembly)
- Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis
- Conservative & Labour Friends of 'israel'

The British public voted for none of these subversive foreign agents.

[Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah]

By order of the increasingly despotic @Keir_Starmer regime, it's now punishable by upto 14 years in prison to "express a positive opinion" about Iran's IRGC. Meanwhile you can continue to freely advocate for genocidal Zionism and "IDF" terror in Britain https://t.co/gt9GFLKMzS

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

This week the Senate will vote to merge our military’s most sensitive & secretive capabilities with Israel. This merger is buried within the massive NDAA and they’re hoping you won’t notice.

Merging our military with a foreign country is a treasonous betrayal of our sovereignty.

Call your senators & tell them to vote no on the NDAA until the merger w/ Israel (section 219) is taken out.

Tell them that we will never support merging our military with a foreign nation.

The senate switchboard number is: [phone].

What exactly did you want him to do?

Syria has no air force to speak of, an economy in ruins, no military capable of contesting Israel on anything, and a government that is maybe 18 months old trying to hold a fractured state together after 13 years of civil war.
What exactly was the alternative “strong” response supposed to accomplish?

This is the pattern I keep seeing not just on Syria, on Qatar, on every “Muslim”and Levant state that engages with Washington rather than performing defiance. People are grading these governments against a standard that assumes a state can just… unilaterally resist the world’s dominant military power, and that anything short of that is spiritual or moral failure.

That standard doesn’t come from anywhere real. It’s an anachronism a leftover expectation from an imagined Ummah-as-single-polity that hasn’t existed since 1924, projected onto a nation-state system none of these countries designed or chose. Every state alive today, Muslim or not, operates inside that system. There’s no opt-out menu.

Part that bothers me is the loudest version of this critique almost always comes from people who bear zero cost if their preferred “strong” response were followed. (Check the guy’s location) Diaspora Twitter, safe in Paris or London, demanding maximalist defiance from a government that would absorb 100% of the consequences of taking that advice. When Syria were burning all of you were in your comfy homes tweeting about it

It’s the easiest thing in the world to be uncompromising about someone else’s war.

Compare Syria’s silence to Qatar, which people also call a Washington puppet for hosting Al Udeid. Except Qatar’s engagement bought it something concrete ; mediator status, a seat brokering Gaza ceasefires and Taliban negotiations no state its size should have. Which is necessary leverage in this nation state system purchased and then spent.

Syria right now has none of that leverage to spend.. A government trying to survive its first two years doesn’t pick fights it has zero capacity to back up.. That’s reading the actual balance of power correctly which is the first job of any state, before any performance of dignity.

If there’s a real critique to make of any of these governments, it’s not “why didn’t you say no to the disbelievers.” It’s “what are you doing with whatever leverage you do have, and who does it actually serve.” That’s a harder, more honest question

This may be one of the most heartbreaking scenes ever captured on camera.

After two years of searching, this mother found the decomposed body of her son. She embraced his remains in this devastating and tragic moment.

MUST READ!

Congressman @RoKhanna after visiting Israel and Palestine:

“In Palestine, I felt first as someone who was brown,” he said. “We really saw the apartheidlike conditions, the inequality.”

He added: “No American would support this if they knew the details of what was going on here.”

In September, my Gaza (Independent Inquiry) Bill returns to Parliament.

Its purpose: to uncover the full scale of British complicity in genocide.

The next Prime Minister has a simple choice: will they support this inquiry, or will they block our efforts to expose the truth?

"We have British citizens who could be going to that country, engaging in a genocide, and then coming back.”

Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Green Party leader Zack Polanski urged the British government to monitor dual-national UK citizens who have served in the Israeli military

[Sovereign Media @sov_media]

An unmanned aerial vehicle operated by an Israeli soldier attacked Palestinians on 10th July 2026 at a hospital located in the north of Gaza, resulting in multiple injuries against medical staff members, in spite of the fact that a “ceasefire” is in place, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

The attack took place specifically at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya and at least three people were hurt in the courtyard and three others nearby.

US SOLDIER TO IRAQI CHILD:
"IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THIS I'D PROBABLY KI** YOU"

This video from the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq says it all.

A soldier tells an Iraqi child serving him tea, “I’d k*ll you if you didn’t have this.” The soldier then proceeds to humiliate what appears to be the child’s father, cursing at him profusely and telling him, “Don’t interrupt me.”

For the occupying American soldier, this may have been a joke. But for the more than a million Iraqis k*lled, and more than 9 million displaced and whose lives were devastated by George W. Bush’s war, it was not.

With its wars against Iraq in 1991 and 2003, the U.S. military ultimately transformed what had been a relatively stable nation in West Asia into a landscape marked by sectarian conflict and takfiri extremism and created the conditions that ultimately gave rise to the extremist militant group ISIS.

This is what occupation and colonial violence leaves behind, even when the headlines describe it as "liberation."

THE LOOPHOLE ENABLING UK ARMS FOR ISRAEL’S GENOCIDE

Although the UK suspended arms export licences to Isr*el in September 2024 over fears of complicity in war crimes in G*za, the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) revealed that the government has granted two new military export licences to Isr*el totaling £20.5 million.

Of this, £8.7 million is dedicated specifically to "components and technology for targeting equipment”.

The UK government claims these licences are consistent with its suspension because they are intended for re-export, meaning the equipment is supposedly only passing through Israel to other destinations.

However, a March 2026 investigation by Declassified found that Isr*el previously failed to re-transport drone components to Romania as stipulated. Isr*el claimed that "the situation in G*za" prevented it from fulfilling the contract, effectively keeping the equipment for its own use.

As a result, there are suspicions that loopholes will continue to be exploited to ensure that UK arms facilitate Isr*eli atrocities. So by using the “re-export" label, the UK government can bypass its own arms suspension and continue to enable Isr*el's g*nocide.

As CAAT Research Coordinator Sam Perlo-Freeman notes, “These new export licences show just how willing the UK is to continue enabling Isr*el’s g*nocidal assaults, while staying within the technical rule of a vastly insufficient and ineffective policy towards [Isr*eli] war crimes.”

WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?

A Palestinian farmer tending his land in the occupied West Bank refused to leave for an armed Israeli settler.

So the settler took him hostage, blindfolded and humiliated him while IDF soldiers stood by, guarding and protecting the abuser.

🚨🇵🇸🇪🇬 Heartbreaking... the man who organized the Gaza World Cup watch party has been KILLED in an Israeli airstrike.

Mohamed al-Wahidi helped organize giant screens where families in Gaza could gather to watch Egypt vs. Argentina on Tuesday.

He was the director of the Egyptian Committee in Gaza, which provides food, shelter, and other humanitarian assistance to Palestinians.

But just before kick-off, an Israeli strike hit a car in Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood, killing al-Wahidi, a driver, and two brothers aged 8 and 10.

F**king terrible...
