On this day, let us remember that the «banality of evil» manifests whenever officials, simply by sticking their heads in the sand & «just doing their jobs», enable dehumanization torture & persecution.
On this day, let us look in the mirror & ask ourselves: How far have we sunk?
The Trump admin falsely claimed for months that Venezuela's President Maduro leads a group called the "Cartel de los Soles" (Cartel of the Suns), which does NOT exist.
The US Justice department has now quietly dropped this lie, implicitly admitting it was a fabrication.
The entire US war is based on lies. It never had anything to do with drugs. Venezuela's role in the global cocaine trade is small and insignificant, and it has absolutely nothing to do with fentanyl (which is actually responsible for many drug-related deaths in the US, unlike cocaine).
The Trump admin's repeated invocation of the fake "Cartel de los Soles" was its version of the WMD lie used by George W. Bush to try to justify his illegal invasion of Iraq.
Both US wars were colonial wars of aggression and pillage, based on lies.
Death toll from US attacks in Venezuela rises to 80, could go higher.
Trump told reporters: “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.”
At the UN many condemned US violation of the UN Charter, the UK hasn't.

“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it’s not. It is this world. And what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras. One that casts a stain on humanity that will endure for generations.”
Julian and Stella Assange helped lead more than 100,000 Australians in a march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to oppose Israel's campaign of slaughter, subjugation and censorship. Police had earlier tried to block the March but were overruled by the New South Wales Supreme Court.
è bello vedere che Julian #Assange con Stella e tutta la sua famiglia continua a stare dalla parte giusta della Storia: in marcia a #Sydney contro il #genocidio di #Israele a #Gaza

🚨 Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, head of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, has lost a third of his body weight in Israeli detention — surviving on just two spoonfuls of rice a day, according to his lawyer.
She was recently granted access to see him at Ofer prison and reports:
▪️ Repeatedly assaulted: Dr. Safiya has reportedly been severely beaten at least six times. On June 24 — the day of Iran’s strike on Soroka Hospital in Israel — prison guards raided his cell and beat him, leaving bruises on his head, neck, and back. His request for medical treatment was denied.
▪️ Inhumane Conditions:
Held underground without access to clean clothes, showers, or medical care. “Scabies is rampant,” his lawyer said. “They only get medical attention when they’re on the verge of death.”
▪️ One of over 100 detained medics:
Physicians for Human Rights Israel says over 250 Palestinian medical workers have been detained since October — more than 100 remain jailed, vast majority without charge.
🩺 Dr. Abu Safiya was last seen in his white coat walking through rubble toward an Israeli tank.

Extremist Israeli politicians and right-wing settlers held a conference in Israel's parliament on Tuesday where they said the US had given them the "green light" to transform the besieged Gaza Strip into a "resort town" once they had completed the ethnic cleansing of more than two million Palestinians

🚨 SHOCKING REPORT: Israeli soldiers in Gaza are reportedly turning the targeting of Palestinian children into a horrifying and systematic “human-hunting game,” according to British surgeon Dr. Nick Maynard.
He testified: “These children are being targeted almost as if it’s a game… One day they’re all shot in the head, the next day in the neck, and another day in the testicles… There is a clear and deliberate pattern to the injuries.”
Despite the grave danger of using the eSIM right now, I had no choice but to activate it after the internet was cut off in Deir al-Balah. The relentless, indiscriminate bombing continues, and the drones never leave the sky. You must raise your voices ,this massacre must be stopped
