This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
Jeez. This is absolutely appalling from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin
A police investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by a former Destiny Church youth leader first reported by the NZ Herald on May 26 with a subsequent update in June announcing his arrest on six charges escalated significantly today with revelations the 29-year-old man at the center of the scandal is now facing a total of 18 charges in connection with five alleged victims.
Along the way Destiny Church head Brian Tamaki has repeatedly denied personally knowing the alleged offender, also claiming he’s not aware of the church ever appointing him as a youth leader.
FULL DISCLOSURE:
The following clip is taken from an investigative piece produced by Samantha Costello for Counterspin Media 1 month ago. Accordingly I won’t be including a link to the full 46min video for what should be very obvious reasons.
Discern for yourself her findings in which they “scrutinise 'Apostle' Brian Tamaki's claims of ignorance and distance from the accused, only to shatter his denials with irrefutable evidence”.
Two stories that came out the same day:
- Gloriz Ghahreman caught shoplifting at Pak N Slave
- Farmers emailing politicians and getting law changes very quickly
Guess which one the mainstream media is frothing over?
It’s absolutely cooked

RSB help - a thread 🧵
This Bill has been around since Act floated it in 2006. It's failed each time it's been resuscitated. There's a reason for that!
The current RSB consists of amendments to the 2021 Bill. Here it is in all its defeated glory:
