Since October 2023, a growing number of UN investigators, human rights groups, NGOs and genocide scholars have concluded that Israel was carrying out genocide in Gaza. A new UN inquiry has reached the same conclusion. Here are its key findings

[Fifty Shades of Whey @davenewworld_2]

3 judges with the International Criminal Court filed a lawsuit in a US federal court against Trump and his administration, challenging the sanctions against them and calling it a "financial death penalty."

The judges bringing the lawsuit are:
- Kimberly Prost (Canada)
- Solomy Balungi Bossa (Uganda)
- Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou (Benin)

Trump placed sanctions on the judges over their judicial decisions regarding investigations into war crimes by Israel and the US.

The judges argue that the sanctions are extrajudicial measures meant to punish and coerce them. They say the restrictions cut them off from banking, online platforms, travel booking, and sometimes health insurance.

This should be much bigger news.

🚨🎙️| Micah Richards on why Barry’s goal against Manchester City should have been ruled out for offside under IFAB Law 11, points out a missed sending-off for a challenge on Doku:

🗣️ “I’m trying to stay calm here but I genuinely can’t understand how Manchester City have come out of this game empty-handed, because for me, this is two massive decisions, both wrong, and both going the same way.

Let’s start with the goal. People keep saying it’s ‘tight’ or ‘subjective’ no, it’s not. Under the IFAB Law 11, if you’re in an offside position and you’re interfering with an opponent, that includes impacting a defender’s ability to play the ball or gaining an advantage from a deflection or phase of play. That’s in black and white.

Barry is in that position, the defenders are reacting to him, there’s hesitation, there’s chaos and he benefits from it. That’s interfering. I don’t care if he doesn’t touch it first, he’s influencing the situation. That goal should not stand for Everton. Simple as that.

Now the second one… this is the one that really gets me.

Michael Keane on Jérémy Doku, how on earth is that not a red card? Honestly, explain it to me. Because when I look at it, I see a player going in late, with force, and he’s not in control. That’s serious foul play all day.

The law says if you endanger the safety of an opponent with excessive force, it’s a sending-off. There’s no grey area there. Doku’s planted, Keane comes through him, that’s dangerous. We’ve seen those given all season.

And this is where the frustration comes in, VAR is there to correct ‘clear and obvious’ errors. So if they’re not intervening for that, then what’s the point? What are we actually doing?

Because now you’ve got a situation where:

a goal that, by the law, should be ruled out… stands

a red card offence… gets waved away

And people will say ‘it evens out over the season’, no it doesn’t! Not at this level, not in a title race.

You’ve got Michael Oliver on the pitch, VAR in his ear, and between them they’ve still got both calls wrong. That’s not pressure, that’s poor officiating.

I’m telling you now, if that’s the standard, then we’re going to be having this same conversation every single week. And Professional Game Match Officials Limited have got to answer it, because right now, it just looks like inconsistency at the highest level.”

Zionists staging fake "antisemitic attacks" happens so often that it is unreasonable to treat each instance as an isolated individual event. This is a coordinated tactic. Someone compiled a 35-minute video of news reports about these staged incidents:

If you have not watched the BBC documentary on the killing of children in Gaza, I would implore you to please watch it. They documented over 160 cases. 95 of the children were shot in the head and chest.

If this doesn't trigger you, nothing else will.

A CGTN reporter - "I witnessed at least 10 Palestinian children under the age of five who had been decapitated"

Never forget that Western media gave more coverage to Israel's fake propaganda about Hamas beheading babies than to this actual events - when Israel beheaded Palestinian children

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

The Guardian reports that the Israeli army demolished entire villages in southern Lebanon using large-scale explosive detonations, targeting areas such as Taybeh, Naqoura, and Deir Seryan.

Rights groups warn the widespread destruction of homes could constitute a war crime.

Residents report losing homes, livelihoods, and memories, with many displaced again. Israel has indicated plans to establish a “security zone” in southern Lebanon, threatening long-term displacement and the erasure of entire communities.

In a matter of minutes, Israel killed more than 350 people across Lebanon on Wednesday, April 8. Here are some of their stories.
