One of the most painful images to come out of Gaza.
A child struggles to process the unimaginable after seeing his parents killed before his eyes in Gaza.
Painting of Rania with her beloved twin babies, Wesan & Naeem, in burial shrouds - by Irish artist and activist Anne-Marie Farrell.
Rania waited for them for eleven years of infertility, they were her little miracles. At 6 months old they were murdered along with her husband & 11 family members when the IOF bombed the Al-Salam neighborhood in Rafah, Gaza Strip, on March 3 2024. I have no words to describe the loss this mother, endured... her entire world decimated in a second like so many.
This piece of shit gave Israel the legal greenlight to exterminate Gaza as the president of the International Court of Justice in 2024. Now he fully legitimizes and backs the genocide of Lebanon. I don't know if there has ever been a greater international symbol of treason and betrayal

This is a bag containing what remains of the body of Gaza Hilal FC player Mohammed Khalifa after Israel bombed his family home in Nuseirat Camp using bombs supplied by the host of the World Cup, the USA, on December 9, 2024.
Judge Jeremy Johnson, who has sentenced four Palestine Action activists as terrorists, is a “special advocate” who has obtained Developed Vetting, the highest level of government security clearance. He has previously acted for MI6 and the MoD. https://t.co/McT8kxulCM

The healthcare sector in Gaza is witnessing a complete collapse, and what I just saw inside the hospital was a scene beyond description.
I saw a person whose foot had been amputated as a result of a direct targeting by the Israeli army, and he was screaming and crying in unbearable pain. He could no longer endure it, so he began pleading with the doctor to give him any painkiller or anesthetic that could ease his suffering.
But the shock came in the doctor’s response; he told him that they no longer had any type of pain medication available.
At that point, overwhelmed by pain and helplessness, the injured man began hitting himself because he could no longer bear what he was feeling, and he had no option except to wait until any pain relief became available to ease his suffering.
What patients and the wounded in Gaza are experiencing is a harsh reality that goes beyond the limits of human endurance, amid Israel’s continued prevention of the entry of medicines and medical supplies into Gaza entirely.
Arwa Elrayess, the first Palestinian president of the Oxford Union, successfully survived a motion of no confidence after it failed to reach the required 150 signatures, gathering only 126 valid signatures out of the necessary threshold.
Arwa has faced a pro-Israel campaign of incitement and accusations related to alleged WhatsApp messages about the events of October 7th, which she denied and said were taken out of context.
She stated that the targeting was motivated by her Palestinian identity.
The hardest working person in the world likely lives in poverty. Hard work almost never translates to wealth. But exploitation of labor often does. The hard work myth needs to dıė
The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth.
The definition of evil is being a trillionaire in a world where millions of children are starving.
I spent all day in Woolwich Crown Court yesterday for the Filton activists' sentencing hearing with my colleague @daniaakkad.
The court heard that the Terrorism Act was never intended to cover direct action protest.
It heard that all of the defendants had been cleared of violent intent and sentencing them as terrorists would mark a historic first for charges of criminal damage.
It heard that the Suffragettes, who did "a bit of smashing themselves", would have been labelled as terrorists but have now been vindicated by history.
It heard the activists' goal was to stop the supply chain of drones and weaponry to Israel as it commits genocide in Gaza.
It heard that attaching a terrorism connection to a case without it ever being heard by a jury was unconstitutional and posed a threat to the criminal justice system itself.
It heard that the "terrorism connection" has been disproportionately used against minority groups and those advocating for them while not being used for neo-Nazis and white supremacists, including the man who killed Jo Cox MP.
It heard that the law has been reinterpreted since the action took place, meaning the activists could have had no idea that what they did could have been caught up in terrorism laws at the time of the protest.
It heard that the prosecution submitted key evidence just eight days before the hearing, giving the defence no time to review it or even discuss it with their clients.
Despite all of this, Judge Jeremy Johnson, who has already tried to refer the defence's lead barrister for contempt of court and been forced to apologise for it, sentenced the defendants as terrorists.
The judgment was handed down within minutes, indicating Judge Johnson had already made his mind up before the hearing had begun.
Being in court yesterday felt akin to witnessing a colonial crime: punishing activists with terrorism offences in order to set a precedent that taking direct action to stop a UK-backed genocide will not be tolerated.
I just watched the highlights of the USA beating Paraguay.
Paraguay were by far the worst team in the history of the World Cup.
I can only assume they played so bad because the Yanks threatened to kidnap their president.
The USA will get hammered the first time they meet a decent team. Unless there is corruption which is likely.
And when they lose the world will celebrate.
