Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This yearโs European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled โWhat the Wounds Tellโ and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. โA single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targetedโ, the two journalists write.

This is so insane. A evil genocidal country went and illegally kidnapped peaceful protesters on international waters and now they are parading them around like cattle and NOT A SINGLE major news network is covering it.
@_invisible_man0 Netflix makes โSurvivingโ documentaries for black celebrities that are centered around โsexual assaultโ victims. But when it comes to White serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ed Gein, and Ted Bundy, they make a whole biopic that attempts to humanize and infantilize the killers
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich:
This war must end with changing the borders of the State of Israel โ in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Syria, and of course in the West Bank.
If it were up to me, we would have annexed territory long ago.
I saw this video on Viola Davis' instagram this morning and everyone needs to see it.
The gutting of the VRA is the most significant attack on ALL civil rights in America in my lifetime, and after they already came for the women..
We better wake the fuck up. None of us is safe:
There are Black folks in the Louisiana capital right now that grew up under segregation and are now seeing 60 years of racial progress wiped out by American fascists.
In Hebron, if you are Jewish, you can throw rocks at Palestinians for fun all you like.
In Hebron, if you are Palestinian & you throw rocks at Jews, youโll be executed on the spot or disappeared into the most well-documented rape dungeon on earth.
Not so complicated after all. Itโs called apartheid.
BREAKING: A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts, per NYT.
In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention.
Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, and the Trump familyโs deals are expanding.
The Israeli military has given orders to shoot at unarmed civilians in southern Lebanon because, according to Israel, there are no civilians.
This is a consequence of normalizing genocide.
๐ข BREAKING | Israeli settlers shoot dead a 14-year-old student and a 32-year-old man at a West Bank school, with Israeli forces providing protection
Israeli settlers opened fire on Al-Mughair Boys School in the village of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, on Tuesday afternoon, killing a 14-year-old student, Aws Hamdi Al-Naasan, and a 32-year-old man, Jihad Marzouq Abu Naim, and wounding three others with live bullets, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA and the Ministry of Health.
A paramedic at the scene said at least three settlers deliberately fired at children attempting to escape from classrooms from a position approximately 50 meters away, with a level of accuracy he described as close to sniping. An eyewitness said shooting was directed at classroom windows and balconies still full of children as residents attempted to evacuate the school by crawling.
Israeli forces arrived during the attack and, according to witnesses, provided protection to the settlers rather than stopping them. A 63-year-old man, Attallah Abu Aliya, said he was shot in the leg by an Israeli soldier without warning as he walked toward the school after hearing it was under attack.
Their deaths bring the West Bank toll to four killed on Tuesday alone, after a 16-year-old boy was run over by a settler's vehicle in Hebron and a 49-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in an Israeli army shooting in Jenin.
It does feel like if a group of Palestinians with machine guns broke into an Israeli school and shot a bunch of children, it would be breaking news in every outlet on earthโฆ?
Democrats have now made genocide denialism a cornerstone of their party platform. They defend Israel & the ongoing genocide more forcefully than they ever defend healthcare, education or the working class
@KellyMcDon39734@TheHopeFoundat5@DrJillStein Idk why u assumed im deluding myself when the only thing I said is that the numbers & your statement dont add up. You said the people that voted independent over dems are responsible for dead children, when those votes would have made no difference. Thatโs it; nothing else lol.
