Free Palestine

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

This will ruin your day, perhaps your summer, or even the rest of your life.

But you need to listen to it. You need to know the crimes that are done in your name and with your tax money.

A British surgeon in Gaza testifies that Israeli soldiers used Palestinian children as target practice. One day, they would shoot the children in the testicles, and on other days, in their necks.

They were practicing their shooting on children.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Mehdi Hasan asked an Israeli lawyer if he was shocked by the NYT's piece on Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian detainees.

His answer? 'Of course not.'

Not because it's false. Because it's old news. Al Jazeera reported it in 2024. He testified about it in 2025. B'Tselem issued reports. Even Israel's own public defender wrote about the torture.

Rape by dogs. Women shackled to metal tables for two days. Men raped three times-after being hospitalized. Children threatened with sexual abuse.

Palestinians have been saying this for years. So what's new? Nothing. Except the New York Times finally published it.

Reporter: “To what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal? [with Iran]”

Trump: “Not even a little bit…. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation”

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

CBS 60 Minutes, under self-proclaimed "Zionist fanatic" @bariweiss, interviewed Benjamin Netanyahu again.

Interviewer @MajorCBS didn't ask a single question about the ICC arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity. He didn't ask a single question about Israel's secret stash of nuclear weapons. He let Netanyahu ridiculously claim Israel has the "most discriminating military on the planet in history" without any pushback. He let Netanyahu falsely claim that Israel's beeper attacks in Lebanon had "no collateral damage." He had very little to say about Israel's well-documented human rights abuses in Gaza, had very little to say about Gaza in general, and even said at one point: "Let's go to Gaza real quick."

Perhaps worst of all, he let Netanyahu claim that Iranians love him and call him "beloved Bibi" with zero pushback. No mention of Israel's attacks on Iranian civilians and civilian infrastructure.

There is intense diplomacy, exchange of amendments on a potential MOU between Iran and the US. The entire process is a damning indictment of the fact that this was a war of choice by the US. A deal could have been reached in February or much earlier.

Trump will try to manufacture a claim of victory for putting out parts of a raging fire he started, but the fact is Iran inflicted a level of damage and displayed a resolve that stunned Trump's administration and they have flailed to find a way out.

Despite the assassination of its senior leadership, Iran engaged in organized, sustained retaliatory strikes and its government remained intact and in power. The promised uprisings or "regime collapse" never materialized. Iran used asymmetric tactics to create a severe crisis in the Strait of Hormuz that the U.S. could not defeat, culminating with the failed "Project Freedom" farce.

Nothing is guaranteed and the U.S. twice bombed Iran while claiming to be negotiating. That could happen again. But time is not on Trump's side. The U.S. will have to make concessions that Trump swore he would not. This is not going to end with Iran's "unconditional surrender."

[Davide Mastracci @DavideMastracci]

The scandal over this photo perfectly reflects so many accusations of antisemitism.

In this case, a photo captures exactly how a settler looks, and the magazine is condemned as antisemitic because his appearance supposedly is identical to “caricatures.”

Meanwhile, when criticizing Israel, you can accurately describe exactly what it does with extensive sources and proof, and they call you hateful because the actions may align with antisemitic “tropes.”

Instead of condemning Israel for manifesting the worst antisemitic stereotypes, they say doing so is hateful.

Reality is antisemitic to them because it does not align with the Jewish supremacist worldview they have been propagating their whole lives.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

classic trump move:
break things 100%
market plunges into chaos
people yell at you
roll it back 20%
modest market relief
claim victory
(things are still broken 80%)
break things again the next day

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

we’re here because corpo centrist pro israel dems believe that trumps unpopularity will be enough to give them marginal electoral victories w/o having to push for material changes that address the working class needs. people want real fighters. they want real change!!!

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

while the us blockade against cuba is supposed to be invisible by design, these last 3 months of trumps vulgarity around the oil blockade has made its existence undeniable. i visited cuba to see how everyday life is impacted by 60 years of economic terrorism. minidoc out soon

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Just as in Gaza, the US is lifting the constraints on how Israel can use American bombs. As a result, Israel uses 2,000lb bombs to strike densely populated areas in Tehran.

So, we are now seeing Gaza-style images of civilians and children being killed en masse in Iran.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Footage aired by Al Jazeera from Tehran shows a child’s foot hanging from the side of a house after a U.S.-Israeli missile struck a residential unit.

[jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill]

This is a heinous crime by Israel. An extension of its serial killer campaign, hunting and murdering journalists in Gaza. Shame on all Western journalists and news outlets who refuse to condemn these crimes unequivocally.

[Marche @Marche]

Out of Cuba now otw home and finally have access to the internet

I’m having a hard time putting into words the thoughts I have on my experience there the past couple days. The level of cruelty that the oil blockade the US imposes on the day-to-day lives of everyday Cubans cannot be overstated. Everyday conveniences and essential services that we take for granted are completely non-existent. Entire systems, that were already dilapidated by decades of sanctions and restrictions from participating globally, start to break down exponentially when you remove fuel from the equation.

The innovation required to accomplish the most basic tasks is astounding. People existing at night in complete darkness from the blackouts, just trying their best to lead normal lives in spite of the lack of power.
Yet every Cuban person I met was extremely kind, patient, and welcoming. The resilience the people of the island have is extremely admirable and heartbreaking to witness.

Cuba is a beautiful place with amazing people and insane potential. What the US has done to that island is shameful and nothing short of inhumane

[Cameron Kasky @camkasky]

Israeli settlers are the most protected group of people in the international world. They are constantly going on terror rampages and facing no consequences.

Funding Israel is an encouragement and incitement of this violence. Spoiled brat of a country.

[Warfare Analysis @warfareanalysis]

Here’s what happened in the Tammun massacre tonight:

-An Israeli army special force raided the town of Tammun, south of Tubas, in the West Bank, after midnight.

-Israeli Soldiers opened fire with automatic weapons at a Palestinian family of 6 while they were returning home.

-Israeli army reinforcements stormed Tammun, spread throughout the town, and prevented residents from approaching or rescuing the victims.

-Four members of the same family were KILLED (the father, the mother, and their two children), and their two other children were wounded.

Victims: Ali Bani Odeh, his wife Waad,
And their sons:

Mohammad (5 years old)
and Othman (blind, 7 years old).

PHOTO: The father and his children.

VIDEO: After Israeli army executed the two children and their mother and father from point-blank range while they were in their car in Tammun, West Bank, Israeli army towed their car away.

[Ramy Abdu| رامي عبده @RamAbdu]

This is how our people in Gaza are hunted before the eyes of the whole world—no one moves, no one is outraged, no one stands for them.

This is how the innocent are killed without mercy and without accountability.

We will not forget… and we will not forgive.

[MO @Abu_Salah9]

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been exposed.

Israeli soldiers opened fire on thousands of starving Gazans as they ran in desperation for a piece of food during the war on Gaza.

A moment the world must never forget.

[BlackMoth @BlackMoth_313]

I have no words to describe my anger and sorrow

The demons forced them to leave their homes, they left, the demons followed and purposefully targeted them.

Tents just fucking tents with kids and women inside who are living in horrible conditions already
