Gaza community figure, Mohammed al-Wahidi was killed in an Israeli air strike just moments before displaced children gathered to watch Egypt face Argentina in a World Cup screening he organised.
His fiancée sold her gold to search for his remains. Three years later, he returned to her alive.
For three years, Adham Al-Banna’s family believed he had been killed alongside three of his brothers. They mourned him, received condolences, and searched desperately for his body.
His fiancée sold her jewellery, and his family gathered what they could to hire a lawyer, hoping only to find where he had been buried.
Then came the miracle: Adham was alive. He had been held in Israeli prisons and was released only days ago.
His story is Gaza’s wound in miniature: families trapped between the missing, the detained, and the dead.
Israel assassinated Mohammad al-Wahidi, the manager of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza.
The strike was carried out just one hour before Egypt’s World Cup match began. The committee had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across Gaza.
BREAKING:
Israel is blowing up civilian homes in Taybeh, South Lebanon.
A village that has stood for 7,000 years is now being reduced to rubble.
During a “ceasefire.”
No justification. No military targets.
Just destruction, terror, and war crimes unfolding in plain sight.
Nigel Farage is the epitome of the establishment.
He makes millions at the expense of the poorest, while blaming the most vulnerable to protect his wealth and power.
We cannot afford a society that feeds the expensive ego of Nigel Farage. Clacton deserves better.
A UN commission has found that Israel is committing genocide through a "deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".
The truth always comes out in the end — and we must never, ever let it be forgotten.
One of the killings involved a ten day old baby being shot by an Israeli sniper in broad daylight whilst the baby was being breastfed : an independent UN Commission says 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
On June 5th Israel attacked the home of world famous Lebanese sea turtle conservationist Mona Khalil. Mona was hospitalized with burns and injuries to over 70% of her body.
Yesterday, June 19th, Mona died from her injuries.
This wasn’t an accident. They didn’t make a mistake. Mona’s home was also where she ran her sea turtle conservatory- which she aptly named the Orange House Project- because, after all, her house was painted top to bottom in a deep, bright orange, the color of a late summer sunset.
The Orange House Project has been in operation for almost 30 years. You can find it on Facebook and Google Maps, along with dozens of reviews from visitors over the years.
So no, it wasn’t an accident or a mistake. Israel knew exactly what it was doing when it bombed the Orange House Project on June 5th.
It’s exactly what they’ve been doing since the war with Iran started: ethnically cleansing all of Southern Lebanon so they can steal the land and occupy it for themselves.
Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial.
Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.
Two very different, but powerful perspectives from those living through the conflict in Lebanon:
"The land requires sacrifice and the land must be irrigated with blood… It is never satiated.
We must keep sacrificing in order to liberate it"

Then, the exhaustion of a displaced father, living in a tent with his young children:
"I feel like going in front of an Israeli tank and telling them 'Kill me, do whatever you want'
I place my fate and my children’s fate on those in charge... on those who have left my children like this while their own children are living in the most luxurious hotels
We’ve had enough, we’ve reached our absolute limit"

Tomorrow the Court of Appeal rules on the ban of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.
In February, the High Court ruled the ban unlawful.
The Government decided to appeal this decision and police have continued to arrest people who have peacefully opposed the ban.
Amnesty International has intervened in this case because the Palestine Action ban was a grave misuse by the government of sweeping counter terror powers.
🚨Reminder: Around 50,000 FIFA-accredited journalists are covering the 2026 World Cup.
Not a single foreign journalist has been allowed into Gaza for over two and a half years to report on the ongoing genocide.
Today marks nine years since the Grenfell Tower fire.
Nine years without justice.
72 people lost their lives in a tragedy that was entirely preventable.
And yet not one person has faced criminal accountability. Not one prosecution. Not one conviction. Not one person behind bars.
Grenfell was not an accident. It was the result of human life being treated as less important than profit.
And thousands of people across the UK are still living in buildings wrapped in the same deadly failures that made Grenfell possible.
We remember the 72. We stand with the survivors, the bereaved families, the North Kensington community, and the firefighters who were there that night. We will not stop demanding justice 💚
Sentenced and imprisoned on grounds of “terrorism” that no jury ever convicted them of.
Meanwhile, the British government continues to aid and abet the greatest crime of our time.
A historic miscarriage of justice — and a truly dark day for civil liberties in this country.
Full fascism by the British state.
Destroying weaponry being used to commit genocide is an act of humanity not terrorism.
All solitary with the Filton 4 and their families 🇵🇸
