HORRIFIC: Israeli settler terrorists are attacking the village of Shouqba right now — setting fields and vehicles on fire, storming a soccer field, and beating children.

Residents are pleading for help from neighboring villages.

The Taxpayers Union often bangs on about transparency and accountability. Now we learn it has been using fake names to make OIA requests.

"Israel" asesinó a esta familia cristiana del Líbano, la joven de 20 años, Theodosia Karam, su hermano pequeño de 12 años, Tony y a su padre James, fueron todos asesinados por un bombardeo sionista contra su coche.

Theodosia regresaba a casa tras aprobar sus exámenes en la universidad, cuando "Israel" decidió matarla junto a su familia.

EEUU, quién dice (falsamente) querer proteger a los cristianos en África, son los mismos que suministra bombas a "Israel" para que se asesinen cristianos en Líbano.

Stuff columnist Verity Johnson got a call from the Speaker of the House, Gerry Brownlee. He's worried about some of the things that Verity has been saying…

Unprecedented.

🇧🇷 Ronaldo Nazário:

“What’s happening in Gaza is not a war — it’s the systematic killing of a trapped population.

The world’s indifference is alarming.

Remaining silent in the face of such brutality is a moral failure.

I cannot — and will not — stay silent.

I stand with Gaza.”

[Middle Eastern Affairs @OpsHQs]

An Israeli soldier testifies UNDER OATH that October 7th was a FALSE FLAG, and that he was ordered to STAND DOWN from 5:20am to 9am the day of the attack.

You could face up to 5 years in prison for sharing this video in Israel.

🔴An incredibly violent morning so far in Lebanon. Dozens of Israeli air and drone strikes so far have killed multiple people, including six Palestinian and Syrian laborers in a massacre in the Hosh neighborhood of Tyre, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

See below a video of a man being hunted by an Israeli drone and then targeted on the side a busy highway. This is not the first time this has happened.

We now know that within the Prime Ministers Office there was a political lobbying pathway operating via the PM's Chief Policy Advisor's private email. Fonterra says it was told to send the lobbying docs via this pathway. It may still be operating via other staffers private email addresses.

We do have the right to know.
They fuck up their own country then come here to try to do the same to ours. 😡😡😡

[Letters For Palestine @LettersForPale1]

This is @julietmosesnz Opposing the Democracy that the Palestine Party are calling for in Israel/Palestine.

Then she confesses that 700,000 Palestinians were "Expelled" during the 1948 war.

On @jacobin w/ @DavidGriscom about why the US has an imperial death grip on peaceful Cuba

[Steven Cowan @StevenCowan]

Plunket is a Zionist. Last year the Israeli regime provided him with a fully funded trip to Israel. So much for 'independent journalism.'

[Letters For Palestine @LettersForPale1]

1/2
This is an interesting watch.

At 2 minutes 45 seconds, Juliet Moses a Lawyer says that 700,000 were "Expelled" in 1948. But is opposed to Palestinian refugees legal rights of return.

She is opposed to a state based on Equal rights.

I kid you not.

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

Months after electing Zohran Mamdani as mayor, New York democratic socialists have an ambitious slate of candidates for this month’s Democratic primaries: one for the state legislature in Buffalo, seven in the city, and two for Congress. https://t.co/gK7z6ciuMV

[chiky handler @chiky_handlr]

Zohran Mamdani is not dividing the U.S.

Mamdani is standing up against war crimes.
Everyone should do that.

Respect.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

This story gets more outrageous with each detail

[Daniel Mayakovski @DaniMayakovski]

Vean como se ve la lucha popular de los pueblos indígenas de Bolivia, que han llenado de barricadas el pais para proteger sus recursos naturales y evitar que el régimen de Rodrigo Paz los entregue a Trump y a EEUU.

Por lo que sea, esta lucha del pueblo boliviano no la enseñan en TV, vaya a ser que tomen ejemplo en otros países y luchen por el futuro de su tierra, expulsando a la lacra imperialista y fascista del pais.

[Mountain_Tui @Mountain_Tui]

So "Suit and tie" is likely James Ross from NZ Taxpayers Union. A former UK Tory staffer, Ross is TPU's OIA Lead in a "Suit and Tie". It explains why it was able to feed insider news to Ani O'Brien to take down Maiki Sherman & its MO. Ani works for TPU's Jordan Williams too 🧵

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

As Israel faces growing international scrutiny for its actions in Gaza and Lebanon, Al Jazeera’s Ava Warriner takes a look at the Israeli and US officials who joined the annual Israel Day parade in New York - the world's largest gathering in support of the State of Israel.
