Geneva Conventions in a single leaked video from Gaza.
This’s not a military vehicle, this is an ambulance carrying wounded people that Israel deliberately targeted.
Israel targeted ~200 ambulances, killing 1,700+ health workers, paramedics, and first responders, and injuring 2,000+ others since 2023—an average of 2 killed per day for over 1,000 days.
An entire city was built upon the corpses and skulls of Palestinians, while those who committed genocide play and enjoy themselves today on a beach they stole through murder and bloodshed.
🔸 Palestinian boy destroys his kites, fearing they’ll bring Israeli bombs
Muhammad Ahmad al-Mufti, a boy in Gaza whose father was earlier killed by Israeli forces while seeking aid, tore apart the paper kites he had made himself, after hearing Israeli Defense Minister Katz might strike over the kites, Gaza Relief Committee’s Eyad Amawi told Drop Site.
Furious and in tears, he mocked the Israeli leaders he blamed as he destroyed them. “So that Netanyahu is satisfied,” he said. “So that Katz is satisfied. So that Trump is satisfied.”
Minister Katz threatened a “forceful” response to Palestinian kites landing in areas across the border, and said Israel would treat them the same as drones.
“They want to deprive us of the thing we love,” al-Mufti said, breaking down. “I swear my heart is breaking.”
🇲🇽 Claudia Sheinbaum questions who Mexico's opposition REALLY answers to:
"What Mexican politician who wants to earn their people's respect decides that the most important thing is to go make propaganda against Mexico in the United States? That's the problem. Mexican senators whose main role is hosting a show on a US network just to trash Mexico — their accusations turn the United States against Mexicans. What do we think of people who have decided to dedicate their lives to politics, but whose main role is in the United States and not in Mexico? Well, it explains itself.
What's the difference between that and the 19th-century conservatives who thought nobody could govern Mexico better than a foreigner, and who went to Napoleon III to denounce what Mexico was going through, so France would invade us? What's the difference? I don't see any. None. The only difference is a hundred-plus years apart... But it's the same thing. What's the difference between them and Victoriano Huerta, whose main ally was the US ambassador when he overthrew Madero in a coup? What difference is there between them and those who went to the US to run for office in Mexico? There's none.
That's the central issue — it's a matter of sovereignty. Because the question is: who decides for Mexico?
Who decides who governs Mexico? Who decides who gets tried in Mexico? Who decides which governor to support? Or which candidate to back? Who decides that? The people. Sovereignty resides in the people. That's Article 39 of the Constitution. Sovereignty doesn't reside in a foreign government or in a foreign government's validation. Sovereignty lies in the people's validation of their own government, of their own destiny.
So the problem with Mexico's right wing — the conservatives and the conservative media — is that their validation regarding Mexico is whatever the US government says, or what a US media outlet says.
Their validation is whatever the Wall Street Journal says.
Their validation is whatever a foreign newspaper says.
Their validation is whatever the State Department says.
Their validation is whether you get a visa or not. They go over there to say, "I do have a visa."
That's the validation. No — validation is before the people. Be it Andrés Manuel López Beltrán or anyone else whose visa was taken away.
The question here is whether Mexicans — men and women — are going to allow the one who decides in Mexico to be the United States' validation of something, or the people. For many years under neoliberalism, validation came from outside, not from within. Who gave Salinas de Gortari his validation to become president? Apart from the domestic interest groups and the institutions after an electoral fraud. From outside, who gave Calderón his validation to be president? Well, those on the inside — despite the electoral fraud — and those on the outside. Who should anyone in politics care about for validation? The only validation that should matter is the people's. Because the people elect and the people rule. Anyone who thinks their public validation comes from a media outlet is very mistaken.
Their public validation is what the people think of them, the closeness they have, it's how they behave, it's their honesty — that's what defines their future, their recognition by the people of Mexico. And what's more, if you want to leave a legacy in politics and in life in general — to your children, to your grandchildren — your legacy is the only validation you have: your behavior toward others and toward your family. And if you're in politics: before the people. That's what we stand for — that's why we talk about sovereignty. That's why we say validation doesn't come from a visa. Validation — if you're in politics, the people give it to you. Who do you want to represent? That's the important one — that's the legacy you leave, not a visa or no visa."
Our greatest ally is routinely amputating incarcerated Palestinian’s arms and legs due to handcuff injuries.
Haaretz reported that the doctor said “inmates are fed through straws, defecate in diapers and are held [in] constant restraints, which violate medical ethics and the law.”
Nearly 10,000 Palestinian detainees are held in Israeli prisons—most without trial—including hundreds of children, doctors, and academics. They are subjected to the most brutal forms of torture, and no one in the world speaks about them.
Be their voice.
💢 REPORT: Premier League Sportswashing Companies Linked to Israel’s Genocide
A 52-page report by War on Want, developed with assistance from the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, accuses English football of promoting corporations complicit in Israel’s genocide, occupation and apartheid.
➤ Ten clubs have direct sponsors identified as complicit: Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Everton and Fulham.
➤ Liverpool tops the report’s “table of complicity” with six implicated sponsors, followed by Arsenal and Tottenham with five each, and both Manchester clubs with four.
➤ The executive summary identifies at least 16 complicit sponsors, including AXA, BP, Cisco, Coca-Cola, Expedia, HSBC, Oracle and Standard Chartered. Eight additional companies are considered at risk of complicity.
➤ All 20 clubs are indirectly linked through Barclays, the Premier League’s banking partner, which the report says has financed 49 companies involved in Israeli atrocities.
➤ Israel has destroyed or damaged 265 Palestinian sports facilities and killed at least 565 members of the Palestinian Football Association since October 2023, including players, coaches, referees and staff.
The report contrasts FIFA’s refusal to sanction Israel with its suspension of Russia four days after the invasion of Ukraine. None of the clubs or the Premier League responded to letters from War on Want and ICJP. The FA sent only a brief reply.
There is a type of Western feminist who has strong opinions about the hijab and has never once organized against an arms sale.
Who discusses Muslim women's autonomy at length and has never read a word about what structural adjustment programs imposed by Western-led financial institutions did to female employment, female education, and female healthcare access across the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia in the 1980s and 1990s.
Who can describe in detail the ways Islamic jurisprudence has historically constrained women's rights and cannot name a single woman killed by a drone strike.
This feminist is not unintelligent.
She has simply inherited a feminism that was constructed within empire, that took imperial priorities as its frame, that universalized a very specific, very Western, very culturally located set of concerns about women's freedom while remaining systematically incurious about the relationship between that freedom and the violence done abroad in its name.
Her feminism includes her.
It reaches toward Muslim women instrumentally, when their suffering can be used to argue for Western superiority.
It does not reach toward the women under the bombs.
It does not reach toward the women whose healthcare infrastructure was defunded because the IMF required it.
It does not reach toward the women picking through rubble.
It was never meant to.
