Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

A former USDA scientist and whistleblower, Gerald Zirnstein, now grinds every pound of his own hamburger mear because he refuses to touch the stuff sitting in your local supermarket.
Why? In 2018 the USDA reclassified "pink slime" (officially called Lean Finely Textured Beef) as "ground beef".
Zero warning or disclosure to you, the consumer. That means it can now legally be mixed into any package of ground beef on the shelf.
What exactly is "pink slime"? It’s the leftover beef trimmings that used to go in dog food and cooking oil. The industry heats the waste, spins it in a centrifuge to separate the fat, blasts it with ammonia gas to kill bacteria, presses it into bricks, flash-freezes it, and then sells it back to you as “beef.”
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
“I've never been an anti-vaxxer... There’s just a denial of the vaccine and the injection injuries.”
@SenRonJohnson discusses a mother, Emily Tarsell, whose 20 year-old daughter died 18 days after receiving her third shot of Gardasil HPV vaccine. She spent 8 years litigating on behalf of her daughter.
“We’re battling vaccine injury deniers.”
“We’re busy bombing nurseries, churches, daycares, and apartment buildings in our neighbors country and these pesky people have the audacity to fight back against us!”
Just kind of left speechless at an invading army whining to the United Nations that the people they are invading — and killing their civilians by the thousands — are fighting back. This is a mystifying level of lack of self awareness
I was smeared as an anti-Semite and “Holocaust denier” for even broaching this topic.
Turns out I was onto something…..
“Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry out.
The approximately 40-page document, which the Israeli authorities code-named “Jericho Wall,” outlined, point by point, exactly the kind of devastating invasion that led to the deaths of about 1,200 people.
The translated document, which was reviewed by The New York Times, did not set a date for the attack, but described a methodical assault designed to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a division headquarters.
Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision.”

MAGA will accept Biden’s corruption at the drop of a hat, but when they are confronted with the actions of their darling Trump…. The cognitive dissonance is at record levels.
A Jewish settler entered a cave dwelling used by Palestinians in Khirbet al-Rakeez in the southern Hebron Hills and shoved a woman to the ground while she was holding her baby.
In another incident captured on video, the same settler repeatedly struck the family’s guard dog with a stick.
Settlers have repeatedly entered Palestinians cave dwellings in the area in recent months, Times of Israel reported along with links to footage of the video, as part of a broader pattern of escalating settler harassment and intimidation across the southern Hebron Hills.
The most important word in imperial media is "allegedly."
Palestinian health officials allege the death toll is 70,000.
Witnesses allege that the strike hit a hospital.
Survivors allege that soldiers committed acts of torture.
Allegedly.
Now watch how "allegedly" disappears when the victims are on the other side.
Hamas attacked. Hamas massacred. Hamas killed.
No "allegedly."
No "according to Israeli sources."
No epistemic caution.
The word "allegedly" is a small word that performs an enormous function.
It quarantines doubt.
It applies uncertainty surgically, to specific claims, made by specific people, specifically the people whose deaths and suffering the powerful would prefer you to hold at arm's length.
It is a one-word editorial policy.
It is a one-word verdict on whose testimony counts.
Dear America,
Our tax dollars, military, intelligence, and majority of elected leaders are enabling this.
THIS.
Are you too racist, ignorant, or cold hearted to demand THIS to stop?
The Israeli strike on a tent in Khan Younis today severed the foot of a one-month-old infant. The infant’s mother and a 6-year-old girl were also killed in the same attack.

💢 Six-year-old girl and a woman killed in Israeli attack on tent in Khan Younis
The United States continues to facilitate Israel’s daily killing of Palestinian civilians, through full military and political support as Israel ignores the Trump-brokered ceasefire.
Minattallah Nabil Abu Libdah, 6, was killed Monday in an Israeli attack on a tent in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. She had reportedly been recovering from a broken arm at the time of her death. Footage shows her father crying uncontrollably at the hospital next to her lifeless body.
A second person, 31-year-old woman Hanan Mahmoud, was also killed in the Israeli attack, according to reporting by Mosab Abu Toha.
The amazing thing about Israel trying to derail the deal by insisting on the right to bomb Lebanon:
Trump announced on April 18 that as part of a deal, he ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon, claiming it's "PROHIBITED."
Israel laughed in his face and bombed the next day.
Americans, over the last 25 years. have been repeatedly attacked inside their own country by "terrorism."
How many of those have come from Iranian or Shiite terrorists (as opposed to Sunni, Saudi, etc.)? Zero.
Iranian officials well aware Israel is working to undermine Trump’s peace agreement:
Iranian official to Jeremy: “At the same time, Israel is currently undertaking its final extensive efforts and applying considerable pressure to disrupt the formation of this agreement. We hope that the U.S. administration will make its decision independently of external influence and in favor of the broader collective interests of all parties involved.”
