Every independent analysis who has looked at the Gaza war comes to the same conclusion: systematic, deliberate, unrestrained targeting of civilians. And this report highlights how Israel specifically targets *children*. You cannot fathom the depths of horror.

[Reuters @Reuters]

Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank, an independent UN inquiry said https://t.co/61poVhRzmR

Big congrats to @bradlander !

An Israeli drone targeted a 10-day-old baby with a sniper rifle.

This baby is one of 60,000+ child casualties. There’s been no accountability for their deaths & injuries.

This is one of the many cases investigated by the UN Commission of Inquiry in its new report today 👇

A sick society. Israel should not just be cut off from US aid, they should be put under sanctions, their leaders should be arrested and tried at the Hague. This is a terrorist state, through and through.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Israel is pursuing “a deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children.”

The UN’s highest investigative body concluded today that an aspect of Israel’s genocide involves “deliberately shooting children in vital organs using precision weapons”

And arresting, torturing, and subjecting Palestinian children to sexual violence in detention.

Reporter: Some members of the Jewish community, including Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer, were alarmed by the language you used at the rally last week, calling AIPAC monsters who move dark money.

Mamdani: I want to be very clear. We’re talking about a status quo where children are being killed on a daily basis. More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military since the so-called ceasefire.

Even an Al Jazeera journalist, Ahmed Wishah, was killed this past Saturday by an Israeli strike. And when I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has been supportive of the status quo, that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region.

And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept. And when it comes to the way in which they defend the status quo, oftentimes they defend it through direct contributions, as we are seeing right now in New York 13.

Oftentimes they also support the status quo through dark money, by funneling money that would have previously come directly from AIPAC through other organizations whose contributors’ identities are only made clear after an election.

And I think it is important that when we ask ourselves how such death and destruction is happening overseas, we also name those who allow it to take place.

Chuck Schumer, Dan Goldman, Jerry Nadler, Kathy Hochul, Letitia James, Vanessa Gibson, and Mark Levine all marched in a parade with this wanted war criminal just two weeks ago.

Trump needs to move beyond rhetoric with Israel. They are fucking up a U.S. rapprochement with Iran, risking a global economic catastrophe, so they can grab land in Lebanon. Israel must be cut off, and all Dems and GOP should support this.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

BREAKING: The Iranian central military command says it has closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon, describing the strikes as a breach of Iran’s agreement with the US.

Exclusive: U.S. intelligence agencies have warned the Trump administration that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to take steps that will undermine President Trump’s effort to reach a lasting peace deal with Iran. https://t.co/LF1mowtp08

It’s sometimes hard to describe what blood thirsty maniacs the Israelis are, but then they openly volunteer it in their own words. Here we have Israeli cabinet member Itmar Bengvir stating that “All of Lebanon must burn!”

[איתמר בן גביר @itamarbengvir]

על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אמהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור!

עם כל הכבוד לאמריקאים, ישראל חייבת להבהיר לעולם כולו שדם בנינו וביטחון אזרחנו איננו הפקר. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור. חובתנו העליונה היא להגן על אזרחי ישראל ועל חיילי צה״ל, והמחויבות הזו קודמת לכל שיקול אחר.

אמרתי לראש הממשלה, גם בישיבות בינינו: על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אימהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות.

מספיק עם הפינג־פונג. במזרח התיכון לא מנצחים בתגובות מדודות ובהכלה - צריך להשתגע. למחוק. להכריע את הטרור.

Israeli troops arrested five Palestinian children, aged 9 to 13 years old, detaining them for hours. A heartbreaking reality for these children.

[Kevin Maley @KevinAMaley]

The Iran MOU is good news - good for the world and good for the U.S. It provides a path to normalizing relations with Iran, a longtime “enemy” of the U.S. foreign policy blob, which alone is great. It provides a path to integrated Iran into the global economy and making peace with its neighbors. It also opens the wonders of Iranian civilization to the world. Lower risk of war, more economic development, greater openness. Who can argue against this?

It *is* bad for Israeli aims to impose regional hegemony through brute violence and genocide- so we see the Israelis and its US supporters, including the corporate media, aghast that Iran is treated like a sovereign nation. Sorry not sorry?

The $300B is a private investment fund and will, according to Reuters “not include any govt ⁠money or grants”. The $25B the US has given to Israel since 2023 to commit genocide is, however, from US govt coffers but mysteriously Klobuchar never talks about it in these terms. Odd!

[Al Arabiya English @AlArabiya_Eng]

This is a widely respected doctor held without charge since December 2024.

There is no civilized system of justice that allows for the imprisoning of people indefinitely without charge. He is a hostage, his crime was writing an oped for the New York Times.
