⭕️ Jeremy Scahill on what Iranian sources told him about dealing with President Trump: “‘We’ve had senior psychologists work up a psychological profile of what they think is going on with Trump’s brain. And we started to cater our messages by running them past senior psychologists before delivering them to Trump.’ And they said that ‘we then started to see some progress.’ They almost talked about like a clinical sense, like they’re dealing with a patient.”

Stone Age?
At a time when you were still in caves searching for fire, we were inscribing human rights on the Cyrus Cylinder.

We endured the storm of Alexander and the Mongol invasions and remained; because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Tony Blair?
Hell no.
Hands off Palestine.

Shall we meet in The Hague perhaps?

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

State must stop Israel's genocide.

Urgently needed ACTIONS:

1. Full arms embargo.

2. Navies carrying aid breaking the blockade.

3. Protection presence authorised under UNGA res. United For Peace entering by sea, Rafah (in Gaza) and Jordan (West Bank/east Jerusalem).

Keir Starmer secretly privatised UK spy flights going over Gaza for Israel

He got busted

But he is now refusing to say how much the contract is costing the British taxpayer

We are paying a US company to participate in genocide - and we’re not even allowed to know how much

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

🇩🇪 Fully aware this is beyond my UN remit. BUT.

As a conscientious European I ask: will anyone confront Germany for its POLICE’s shameful, sustained, and widespread violence that, after a year, reveals an institutionalized descent into repression?

While too many Germans remain, once again, silent in front of their state's abuses, will the EU and the UN act?

And as Europeans, have we truly learnt anything from history, or only memorised it?

A ceasefire is not enough. The Israeli military’s weaponisation of aid and starvation to displace and destroy Palestinian society will not stop as long as Israel controls aid distribution. Our new analysis shows how Israel has imposed a deadly aid system through GHF ration stations, while dismantling a proven civilian-led model, in order to concentrate Palestinians in Rafah and push Gazan society toward collapse.

The genocide can continue even under a ceasefire.

Netanyahu: ‘They (U.S.) knew about the attack in advance - what they will do now I leave to the president. Trump makes decisions independently.’

This alliance has never been stronger.

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

The spy plane Keir Starmer is sending daily over Gaza to collect intel for Israel is based at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire

It appears RAF pilots are practising their missions over Gaza within Britain itself

This one spent 2 hours doing circles at 12,000 feet this afternoon

[Matt Kennard @kennardmatt]

Been saying this for 14 months. We are direct participants. Britain leads on intelligence and logistics.

The ICC must investigate British ministers and, I believe, charge them with war crimes.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

The best explanation I've ever listened to as to why the "Thucydides trap" doesn't apply when it comes to China, and why China doesn't have Western-like hegemonic aspirations.

By George Yeo, former foreign minister of Singapore and imho the single best analyst of China anywhere in the world (I always religiously listen to his talks).

His main argument is that it's foolish to apply a Western prism that it the legacy of the Greek Peloponnesian war to predict Chinese behavior: you need to look at China's own history and culture. And China has always shown that it wishes to remain a homogeneous society which means its very DNA prevents it from acting like the West by reshaping the world in its image, since that would necessarily imply that China transforms its own culture to be universally applicable.

I 100% agree with this. The world that China wants is a world where it and other countries are NOT forced to reshape themselves in the West's image, not a world where China wants to reshape others. That's anathema to Chinese culture: at no point in China's history were there Chinese missionaries roaming the world trying to convert others to Daoism or Chinese Buddhism, they just don't do this stuff because they understand that if you want to reshape others you first need to reshape yourself and thereby lose your homogeneity and uniqueness. On the contrary, throughout their history, all of China's efforts have always been on preserving itself from outside influence and interference, which is the very reason why it is the longest-lasting civilization in history.

Barclay's Bank has totally divested all funds from Israel's largest arms firm, Elbit Systems, following 54 operations against the bank launched by Palestine Action, including 20 in one night.

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Here’s another idea @UKLabour

You say the Autumn budget will be painful

Why not offer a budget that raises funds from those who won’t feel pain

Perhaps, from those who might feel a tiny bit less comfortable

Or better still, from those so wealthy they’ll feel nothing at all.
