George Galloway:
The massacre of 167 girls, aged 7 to 12, at an elementary school in Iran is the greatest atrocity committed by the United States since the Vietnam War.
It is the largest mass killing of schoolgirls ever recorded in world history.
Yet no one is talking about it
UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese has told the Al Jazeera Forum that most of the world has armed Israel, giving the state political excuses, shelter, and economic support, instead of stopping it during the genocidal war in Gaza.

.@4noura: "The US has issued something like 49 security council vetoes in order to protect Israel from international accountability. The second highest recipient of such protection from the United States in the security council was apartheid South Africa"
Not sure the magnitude of this is fully understood: Israel has wiped out 2,700 families in Gaza, leaving 6,000+ people as the sole survivors of entire bloodlines. This is the result of deliberate policy, pursued with full knowledge of its effects. This is not war. It is genocide.

Venezuela at the UN:
"The truth is brutal and criminal. The U.S. government is threatening an armed attack against Venezuela to satisfy ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil, which are pioneers in the theft of Venezuelan oil.
The children of American families will be ordered to risk their lives to line the pockets of oil company shareholders with billions of dollars while thousands of Venezuelan and American families are destroyed.
It is blood for oil."
The Marco Rubio who testified today is not the one I served with in the Senate. He has had a full MAGA lobotomy.

Government of South Africa notes the USA Executive Order
The government of South Africa has taken note of the latest executive order issued by President Trump. It is of great concern that the foundational premise of this order lacks factual accuracy and fails to recognize South Africa's profound and painful history of colonialism and apartheid.
We are concerned by what seems to be a campaign of misinformation and propaganda aimed at misrepresenting our great nation. It is disappointing to observe that such narratives seem to have found favour among decision-makers in the United States of America.
It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the US for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged, while vulnerable people in the US from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship.
We reiterate that South Africa remains committed to finding diplomatic solutions to any misunderstandings or disputes.

“Israel is the most vicious type of settler, colonialist, everything that is wrong with the human civilization, Israel has mastered and institutionalized”
_Burmese scholar Maung Zarani
🚨The depth of the CRATER caused by Israeli bombings with TREMOR BOMBS on displaced families' tents in southern #Gaza has erased both the tents and the families—leaving NO TRACE at all!
Tents… TENTS… bombed with missiles of a kind the world has NEVER witnessed in any war‼️
His family survived the Holocaust.
He founded Human Rights Watch.
He directed the ACLU.
Now he’s saying Israel is engaged in genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
