Double-tap strike on a child trying to rescue a rescue worker. During a “cease fire.”

This comes as Israeli media and politicians are calling a documentary about this sort of attack a “blood libel.”

I am in shock - watching Israeli mobs and army destroying Palestinian life.

States recognising Palestine,
Norway as the guardian of the Oslo Accords,
Heads of UN agencies, World Bank,
ICRC, NGOs sur place,
Palestinian Authority:

what are you doing to stop the violent pogroms??

[David Williams @MrDaveyWilliams]

A British citizen in their 20s heads over to #Israel, takes part in killing children and other civilians. Comes back and nothing is done.

An elderly lady says that she is opposed to this activity and the police arrest her as a terrorist.

Is this some sort of Kafka novel?

Israel has no right to occupy Palestinian land (ICJ 2024). These soldiers are acting illegally, as part of a larger illegal endeavour.

That's why Israeli soldiers, leaders, settlers should be investigated- and if so warranted prosecuted - wherever they go.

No room for Genocide.

[Jordan Valley Activists نشطاء غور الأردن @JVActivists]

Arresting Palestinian shepherds on their own lands is a crime often initiated by illegal outpost settlers and executed by the occupation forces.

🚨Israel's style of "co-existence" in Jaffa, by War Minister Yoav Gallant:

His father stole a Palestinian home & squatted in it, even though a family was still inside. That family was forced to live with Gallant & share a bathroom & kitchen until Gallant took them to Ramallah & kept the rest of the house.

Gallant is narrating this with pride as some sort of a beautiful kumbaya story.

Yoav Gallant is named after "Operation Yoav"; a major terrorist attack which his father took part in. The operation saw the carpet bombing, ethnic cleansing & full destruction of 30 Palestinian villages, including my own family's village. All the Palestinian inhabitants were loaded on trucks at gunpoint & sent to Gaza.

Gallant was the Israeli war minister that called the very people his father ethnically cleansed to Gaza "Human Animals" & vowed to ban "all food, water, medicine, fuel & electricity" to the population his father caged in this enclave.

Gallant is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity & war crimes.

Iran has launched thousands of drones and missiles at Israel and US Middle East targets, and killed very few civilians indeed.

What does that tell you about the USA and Israel's methods?

[Joel Jenkins @boganintel]

"It wasn’t just Israel/Palestine kept off the open floor debate. It was the gas export tax, the spectre of AUKUS, and the low-hanging fruit that seems so far away: gambling reform. It was everything important except a few polished words among axiomatic sentences that amounted to catchphrases from the incongruous." 👇

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

New evidence indicates that US Senator Lindsey Graham and Israeli Prime Minister planned to fabricate the sexual misconduct allegations against ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan to challenge the arrest warrants against Netanyahu.

You still don't believe us when we say that they are the ones plotting to destroy our lives behind closed doors—and that they are experts at concealing any trace of their actions, leaving us unable to provide any evidence.

When my bank accounts were closed in 2024, I wasn't shocked because I knew it was coming; that is why I hadn't used the account for anything other than buying coffee, paying for parking, and such normal things, and I hadn't received any funds into it—knowing full well they would fabricate a case to conceal their involvement. They tried to make me look not credible, but I made them look stupid.

When questions were raised, the bank stated that the decision to close the account came from the Central Bank and that they did not know the reason. When further questions were asked, the bank suggested the matter might be linked to incoming funds; however, when we clarified that the account had received no funds from any sources—rather than small cash deposits—the bank speculated about a large purchase or withdrawal. When we explained that the account was used only for small expenses—like coffee, etc. amounting to just a few euros—the bank began looking for another reason, and I was prepared to address every explanation they put forward.

Note: My bank accounts were closed just a few weeks before my wedding—what a coincidence! This caused the cancellation of several plans and forced me to borrow money.

Eventually, one of the branch managers—whether out of courage or because he had actually been supportive of me prior to the closure of the bank accounts—told me that the reason was political. I even attempted to open accounts at other banks, only to have them closed immediately.

Why? Because I called—at the United Nations—for Israel’s expulsion from the UN, the imposition of sanctions against it, and an end to the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon; and for purging the United Nations of the lobby that controls it from within.

They are doing everything in their power to make us appear untrustworthy and completely insane, using conspiracy theories to do so. We did not lose everything for this; rather, we lost everything for the sake of humanity and to wake you up. Listen to us.

I am financially censored to this day. I cannot have a bank account. I cannot have a credit or debit card.

Disturbing. Head of Immigration Clare Sharp reveals Home Affairs is enforcing Antisemitism envoy Segal’s “IHRA definition” training on visa officers handling character approvals.

Instead of broad anti-racism training, they‘re building a regime of ideological IHRA gatekeepers?

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This is, unsurprisingly, a complete inversion of reality.

Netanyahu says the ICC under Khan went after him to distract from the sexual misconduct allegations against Khan.

But the truth is that the allegations suddenly started surfacing a couple of weeks AFTER Khan informed the US of his decision to seek warrants, and after he was told - in the public record - by US senators (including Marco Rubio): "Target Israel and we will target you."

This is the actual timeline (source: https://t.co/9Y0jsxLVFy):

- 25 March 2024: Khan informs the US administration of his decision and that warrants would be sought by the end of April.

- 19 April 2024: A senior US official warns Khan by phone of "disastrous consequences" if he proceeds; Khan says he rejected this, citing Israel's lack of cooperation.

24 April 2024: 12 Republican US senators (including Marco Rubio) send Khan a letter warning "Target Israel and we will target you."

26 April 2024: Netanyahu publicly criticises the ICC on social media, saying: “Under my leadership, Israel will never accept any attempt by the ICC to undermine its inherent right of self-defence.”

2 May 2024: The sexual misconduct/harassment allegations are first put to Khan in person by members of his team, on the same day, per his later ICC submission, that he had been planning to announce the Netanyahu/Gallant warrants.

Draw your own conclusion 🤷‍♂️

“30 His Honour said that he was “left with the distinct impression that Senator Hanson would say anything that came to mind if she thought that it would suit her at that time; she had little regard to whether what she said was true or false”. His Honour concluded that her evidence was generally unreliable (PJ[187]).”

Did you see this? Home Affairs has denied a visa to the ex-ASIO source who tried to warn about the Bondi gunmen. This is a deeply political decision, and now the Royal Commission may never hear his evidence.

It looks like a stitch up by those who don't want this on the record.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This is exactly what a head of government must say.

The ICC should (be left free to) do the rest.
