They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.

Now the rapists are free.

This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

Israel has committed so many shocking atrocities over the past 2.5 years that many forgot how it massacred over 300 people in a November 2023 strike on Gaza’s Al-Sabra neighborhood

112 of those victims from two clans were just extracted from the rubble and given a mass funeral

Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Brett McGurk and Kamala Harris all have this blood on their hands

The West was incensed when the Taliban blew up the Buddhist Bamiyan statues in Afghanistan.

Crickets as Israel blows up a UNESCO heritage site in Lebanon.

They’re coming after us bc they don’t like our coverage of their crimes. We have to unite against these attacks on the press. Stand with @BTnewsroom

🚨🇮🇱🇯🇵Imagine being an Israeli tourist in Japan and losing your mind because a local man quietly holds photos of Gaza's children.

Was Japan promised to them 3,000 years ago too?

JUST IN: ISRAEL’S KATZ ON DESTROYING LEBANON:

“Twenty-four Lebanese villages, hundreds of years old, we destroyed all the buildings, not house by house, but entire villages.

Their destruction has been completed. You need to understand: 15,000 to 20,000 homes across all 24 villages have been destroyed.”

I have to say this daily, but if Muslims did this to ONE Jewish temple, the world would be OUTRAGED.

Israel has now destroyed over 1,000 mosques in Gaza and the West Bank.

It’s the single biggest destruction of holy sites in the modern HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

🚨 Palestinian man Sheikh Farouk Ramadan, whom Israel labeled a “terrorist” after he defended himself during a confrontation with armed settlers in the occupied West Bank village of Tel on Friday, was shot dead while unarmed, an analysis of four videos by +972 Magazine and Local Call found.

The footage undercuts the army’s claim that it “neutralized the terrorist who carried out the shooting attack,” as previously shared in a post by @ireallyhateyou account on X (see reply).

Reconstructing the incident from the footage, the outlets lay out the following sequence:

🔸 Armed settlers from the nearby Havat Gilad outpost entered the Palestinian village, and one struck Ramadan with his rifle. Residents came out to repel them and a scuffle broke out.

🔸 Ramadan wrestled that rifle away and fired it during the melee. This is the moment Israel calls a “terror attack,” but the weapon was a settler’s, seized on the spot.

🔸 He was then filmed walking slowly toward soldiers, unarmed, with nothing in either hand, before dropping to the ground. He was shot dead there, possibly by a settler, minutes after the gun had left his hands.

The outlets note the army only located the weapon in a search after the incident, confirming Ramadan was not holding it when he was killed.

Two Israelis and four Palestinians, including three of Ramadan’s relatives, were killed; Israeli media have reported the dead soldier (the second Israeli) was likely killed by friendly fire.

🇺🇸 The House has passed the $1.1 trillion National Defense Authorization Act 216–212, with six Democrats voting yes and seven Republicans voting no. It incudes section 219 which integrates U.S. military intelligence and the defense industrial base with Israel.

The bill makes US military support for Israel easier and more institutionalized. It creates a Pentagon official tasked with accelerating U.S.-Israel military technology cooperation, including joint R&D, testing, co-production, data sharing, and moving jointly developed technology into procurement.

Separately, it extends through 2029 an existing authority allowing the U.S. to transfer weapons already stored in its War Reserve Stockpile in Israel. That authority can permit transfers without Congress voting on each shipment, with Congress only receiving notification under the underlying law.

The extent of American interference in our country reveals them as bullies not allies.

The US ordered Australia to appoint the Antisemitism Commissioner:

“We stepped up our engagement with the Australian government. We were pushing them to appoint a special envoy on antisemitism,”

“It was a much bigger diplomatic effort than it should have been with such a close ally,” US official.

“But we insist that you appoint a special envoy and take this issue seriously.”

As punishment for my factual journalism, I was subjected to political harassment by the Trump administration upon my return from Iran.

This Israeli-influenced criminal cartel is clearly threatened by my reporting from Tehran, where I showed the massive crowds of mourners and ferocious public backlash to the assassination of [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei, exposed US and Israeli war crimes against civilians from the ground, and conducted candid interviews with officials, negotiators and influential Iranians.

The seizure of my devices was a clear act of intimidation aimed at deterring me and others from doing further critical reporting from Iran, which is likely why my interrogators from CPB demanded to know if I would be returning to Tehran to report any time soon.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

EXPLOSIVE! An arrest warrant should be promptly issued against this self-confessed war criminal.

The more Israeli leaders get away with their crimes, the more the system meant to protect us all gets irreparably destroyed.

I don’t know what causes a soul to darken so thoroughly, whether it be greed, or hunger for power, or some unknown trauma, but the US government has lost one of its most notorious cheerleaders for racist militarism, blood-soaked imperialism, murderous Zionism, and wanton destruction across the globe. If there is to be sadness, let it be for his countless victims, and for the curse of impunity that allows monsters like him to be lauded and rewarded even as their victims cry for justice.

US lawyer and antiwar activist Dan Kovalik just had his devices seized and was interrogated by counter-terror police at Liverpool Airport

Meanwhile, Palestine solidarity activist Sarah Wilkinson is heading to trial on terrorism charges for a couple of Twitter posts, and refusing to give police her mobile pin

The Canary, one of the UK’s most doggedly antiwar independent media outlets, was just debanked by Lloyd’s

The UK recently refused entry to Hasan Piker and Cenk Uyghur, two of the most recognizable voices of the left wing of the US Democratic Party, on national security grounds

It did the same this month to US journalist Jeremy Loffredo

UK counter terror police detained and interrogated my colleague, Kit Klarenberg, seizing his devices, and grilling him about his investigative journalism. PM Keir Starmer’s Labour Together slush fund even hired a private intel firm to smear Kit and The Grayzone.

UK police raided journalist Asa Winstanley’s home and illegally seized his devices on suspicion of “encouragement of terrorism”

The UK Crown Prosecution Service attempted to prosecute journalist Richard Medhurst under the Terrorism Act, but failed

The list of journalists and activists repressed by the British regime goes on and on. And they have one thing in common: outspoken opposition to Israel’s genocidal agenda.

Who’s actually in charge in London?

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

The war in Lebanon has reached a point where it can no longer be described as anything other than genocide.
