[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

NEW: The Board of Directors at the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will formally change its definition of who qualifies as a journalist, to broadly exclude slain Palestinian and Lebanese journalists who worked for government-funded media outlets. Israeli, American, and Ukrainian journalists who work for state-funded outlets or are embedded with the military will remain recognized as journalists, of course.

The move was catalyzed to appease the right-wing Zionist rag The Free Beacon, which has repeatedly accused Palestinian and Lebanese journalists of being undercover militants or used their political opinions or affiliations as justification for their killing by the IOF.

This is a racist scandal of massive proportions for everyone involved, and it makes a mockery of the purported mission of the organization. It is absolutely abhorrent that the organization’s resources are wasted on this cowardly witch-hunt, at a moment in history that is the deadliest for journalists, especially in Palestine and Lebanon.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

The US has seized $5.49 billion of Venezuela’s oil revenue in 2026, then offers just $150 million in earthquake aid while the UN estimates $6.7 billion in losses. It’s not relief, it’s extortion. At the same time, US has $30 billion of frozen assets while people are under rubble.

[Harry Pettit 🇱🇧🇵🇸 @HarrygPettit]

To paraphrase Mohammed Al-Kurd:

In one part of the world, we have mothers complaining about being threatened by some words on a tshirt.

In another part of the world, we have mothers searching through the rubble for their dead children.

Guess who receives more attention?

[Israel Exposed @xIsraelExposedx]

Mrs Sarah Wilkinson @swilkinsonbc is a 63 year old journalist that has been documenting the Gaza genocide from early on. The UK government is charging her with terrorism crimes for simply posting the news out of Gaza, in an effort to silence her. This is unacceptable. Please follow her & support her during this trial.

[LankaFiles @lankafiles]

Another seven skeletons discovered today at the Chemmani mass grave raising the total to 412. Three of them were found in one group, Attorney at Law at the site VS Niranjan told journalists. 390 of the human remains unearthed from Sri Lanka's largest mass grave have been exhumed.

شبکه ایکس، بعد از حذف تیک آبی حساب‌های وزارت امور خارجه، وزیر و سخنگو، اکنون تیک آبی حساب معاون امور حقوقی و بین المللی را نیز حذف کرده است.این اقدام جانبدارانه و سیاسی، در ادامه الگوی سانسور و با هدف خاموش کردن حقیقت و صدای رسمی دولت ها و همچنین، ابزارسازی از اعتبار دیجیتال است.

@rupasubramanya Spare us your Indian hasbara cosplay. Your mealy mouthed defense of a convicted racist thug and war criminal who wants to turn Lebanon into a bonfire is a grotesque apologia for a deranged call to collective punishment and mass civilian slaughter.

@itamarbengvir You are a war criminal coward hiding in Israel.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

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.

@ducati_dada Your question isn’t curious. It’s the same tired colonial cope: blame the victims for not gratefully absorbing the “gifts” of their oppressors.

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries

The worst part is him saying the strike on the elementary school in Minab (that killed 168 schoolchildren and teachers) "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines."

Uma das coisas mais perturbadoras sobre os estupros no caso da Flotilha é que os sobreviventes estão tendo que tomar, por 28 dias, medicamentos para prevenir uma possível infecção pelo HIV em razão da violência praticada pelos soldados.

As mulheres, além disso, tiveram que tomar pílulas do dia seguinte e torcer para que fossem efetivas.

Isso mostra que a violência de Israel não termina quando os sequestrados são libertados. Ela continua no corpo, no medo, na espera por exames, nos efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos, na angústia de quem ainda precisa lidar com as consequências de uma agressão cometida sob custódia de um Estado.

A libertação não apaga a tortura. Não apaga a violência sexual. Não apaga o trauma produzido por um sequestro ilegal e por práticas que deveriam ser tratadas como crimes internacionais.

As violências de Israel continuam acontecendo e produzindo efeitos físicos, psicológicos, políticos e humanos muito depois do fim do sequestro.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

A months-long Al Jazeera investigation has found that military-related goods originating from at least 51 countries and self-governing territories continued entering Israel after the ICJ’s warning of a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.

UK officials destroyed files on one of the most brutal post-war conflicts they fought - the forgotten war for rubber in 1950s Malaya.

It was to cover up their crimes - mass bombings, decapitations, lying, forced villageisation👇

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🇦🇪 The New York Times reports that the UAE paid more than $6 million to the reputation management firm Terakeet between 2020 and 2022 to manipulate Google search results and suppress damaging reporting by Drop Site co-founder Ryan Grim, then at The Intercept, about Emirati Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba.

The 2017 investigation examined allegations surrounding Otaiba’s ties to escorts and individuals linked to sex trafficking. According to the NYT, Terakeet responded by creating favorable profiles, using anonymous accounts to edit Wikipedia, and flooding the internet with SEO-optimized content designed to push Grim’s reporting off Google’s front page. By 2023, the article had reportedly been pushed as far back as page five of search results.

The broader NYT investigation examines how wealthy corporations, billionaires, and politically connected figures use high-end “reputation management” firms to manipulate online narratives, suppress scandals, and reshape what appears in Google searches. The report also details Terakeet’s work for Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein and billionaire Robert F. Smith following his tax fraud case.
