Dolphins being captured today off the coast of Taiji in Japan. Many will be killed & end up as dog food, a small number will be sold for huge profit into the captive dolphin trade to spend the rest of their lives in a concrete prison performing tricks to entertain tourists

A shameful cruel & exploitive business that has no place in the modern world

🇪🇸🐂 ¿Qué locura es esta? Están prendiendo fuego en los cuernos de 5 toros dentro del camión, para que salgan en estampida y corran el encierro de toros embolados.

❗️Ocurre cada verano en municipios de Valencia y Castellón. PP y VOX los han legalizado.

On October 26, 2025, Muhammad Bahajat al-Halaq, 9, was playing soccer with other children and teenagers in the schoolyard of the village of a-Rihiya in the Hebron district. During the game, two military jeeps entered the village. Fearing that the soldiers would fire tear gas at them, as had happened before, the children ran from the playground and hid among the houses.

Four soldiers exited one of the jeeps. Two of them began shooting in the direction in which the children had fled. One soldier fired tear gas canisters, while the other fired live ammunition. One of the bullets struck Muhammad. After he was shot, the soldiers continued firing tear gas toward the spot where he had fallen. When a local resident tried to reach Muhammad, the soldiers shot at him as well. Eventually, the man managed to reach Muhammad and evacuate him. Muhammad was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

His mother, ‘Aliyah, said that Muhammad loved soccer, was an excellent student, and dreamed of becoming a doctor. “When he played with his brothers, he would always ask them to call him ‘Dr. Muhammad.’ But that dream will never be fulfilled now that he has been shot and killed by an Israeli soldier.”

Muhammad is one of 54 children and teens killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 2025.  Our report, Unshielded Childhood, tells their stories and the circumstances that led to each of their deaths.

Since October 2023, 1,100 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in the West Bank, including 242 children and teenagers, through 27 July 2026. This reality is the result of an Israeli policy that enables and sanctions the killings, with no one held accountable.

Please don't turn your lawn into plastic. Fake grass reduces food & shelter for wildlife such as bees & butterflies; has a high carbon footprint; sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas; and in summer can get hot enough to harm pets.

The illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is one of the most well-established positions in international law, resting on four distinct pillars:

📜 GENEVA CONVENTIONS
Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) explicitly prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Israel ratified the Convention in 1951. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the authoritative interpreter of humanitarian law, has consistently held that this provision applies directly to the settlements.

🌐 UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS
The Security Council has repeatedly affirmed settlement illegality — including in binding resolutions the US did not veto:
• Res. 446 (1979): settlements have "no legal validity"
• Res. 465 (1980): calls on Israel to dismantle existing settlements
• Res. 2334 (2016): passed 14-0 (US abstained), explicitly states settlements constitute "a flagrant violation of international law" and have "no legal validity"

⚖️ ICJ RULINGS
• Advisory Opinion on the Wall (2004): the Court found settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, had been established in breach of international law, and that the wall built to protect them compounded that illegality
• Advisory Opinion on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (2024): the Court went further, ruling that Israel's continued presence in the OPT — including the settlement enterprise — is itself unlawful, and called on all states not to recognise or assist it

🏛️ UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Countless UNGA resolutions have reaffirmed settlement illegality, including Res. 77/247 (2023), which requested the landmark 2024 ICJ opinion.

No serious legal scholar disputes this consensus. The settlements are illegal. The only remaining question is whether the international community will act on it.

After the “ceasefire” was declared on 10 October 2025, Israel continued to attack and bomb civilians throughout Gaza. Since then, it has killed 1,003 residents of the Strip.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed more than 73,000 people and forcibly displaced about 1.9 million from their homes, as part of the genocide in the Gaza Strip. It has destroyed the healthcare system and massively damaged water infrastructure, education systems and other essential services.

In this so-called ceasefire, Israel has continued to kill people, block the entry of humanitarian aid and use starvation as a method of warfare, while preventing reconstruction and repair of vital systems.

The killing, destruction and dispossession have not stopped for a moment: the genocide continues.

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

I have signed a letter to the Government, alongside over 100 MPs, calling for the UK to urgently reopen and scale up medical evacuations for critically ill children in Gaza. 

We cannot ignore the scale of suffering. The war has devastated Gaza's health system and thousands of children are trapped without access to life-saving treatment.

The UK has a moral duty to act.

“I nodded off and was woken by my daughter’s hysterical crying. When I picked her up, I discovered rats had gnawed at her foot while she slept. I was so afraid, I felt my soul leave my body. I started screaming and crying, grabbed her and ran together with my husband between medical service points to find medicine or disinfectants against infection and poisoning. But the military doesn’t even allow medicine and disinfectants into Gaza.”

Rana Qarmut, 22, describes the helplessness of parents in displacement camps trying to protect their children from the rodent infestation in Gaza.

Israel’s systematic destruction of the water and sewage infrastructure have turned these camps into a public health crisis: the extreme levels of garbage and open sewage flowing between the tents are an ideal breeding ground for rodents and pests.

According to Save the Children figures from April 2026, the tents in more than 80% of displacement camps have rats, fleas and ticks inside regularly. As summer temperatures rise, the combination of pollution, unhygienic conditions and a shattered healthcare system is leading to the spread of severe skin and intestinal diseases, and turning simple injuries into life-threatening conditions.

By blocking the entry of basic necessities for survival, including medicines and pesticides, Israel is perpetuating an environment in Gaza that is unfit for human habitation, deliberately leaving millions of displaced people exposed to epidemics.

The genocide in Gaza continues.

⚠️Animal Abuse. A settler threw a brick at a cat in the same Palestinian village where Lucy the dog was beaten nearly to death 3 days ago. Reportedly, it was the same settler. The IDF and the state back terror, so settlers routinely abuse animals 🧵

Israel’s apartheid death penalty law against “terrorists” now applies in the West Bank. It was designed to target Palestinians almost exclusively and thus becomes yet another of Israel’s lethal policies against Palestinians. This law is deeply disturbing but not an anomaly🧵

When we stop taking more than nature can give, the ocean responds with abundance. We already know what works - we just need the will to scale it.

Fantastic to see solutions for our ocean already in action - stories where change is delivering for fishers, communities, & nature alike.

✅ No-take zones work. Fishers testify that when fish are given space to recover, their catches and profits soar.

❌ Ban bottom trawling. We saw where it was stopped, the seabed rebounded surprisingly quickly.

❌ End harmful subsidies 👉 Instead reward sustainable practices.
