"Dahiyeh neighbourhood, which is the southern part of Beirut, the Hezbollah stronghold.."
Dahiyeh is a residential neighbourhood full of apartment blocks, shops, cafes & businesses. Calling it a Hezbollah stronghold is language designed to make it a legitimate target.
Arab Barghouthi joined @MassiveAttackUK on stage at Berlin's Citadel Music Festival, calling for the release of his father, Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti ✌️
“We need to remember that my father, Marwan Barghouti, represents something that Israel cannot imprison. Hope.
Hope for a better future.
Hope for Palestinian children to live in peace.
Hope for freedom.
And always remember that hope is the biggest threat to the oppressors.” – Arab Barghouthi

The United States has blocked an internationally acclaimed Somalian referee from entering the country (he was due to officiate at world cup games).
FIFA's response has been pathetic.
🚨HORRIBLE: Since the ceasefire began, Israel has continued destroying entire neighborhoods across Gaza without pause.
This documentation from yesterday comes amid the latest expansion of the so-called “yellow line,” which is now pushing deeper into densely populated residential areas.
Estas personas que llevaban ayuda humanitaria por tierra a Gaza fueron secuestradas el 24 de mayo en Libia.
Llevan en huelga de hambre desde hace una semana.
La Global Sumud Flotilla hace un llamamiento urgente de vida o muerte por su inmediata liberación.
Solidaridad. Difunde.
I had asked about this horrific crime by Israel — using drones to broadcast recordings of crying children so they could shoot Palestinians who were lured — when I first saw it reported in Gaza in 2024.
The Biden admin spokesperson saw no evil.
The Trump spokesperson hasn’t had a briefing in almost a year.
Now Israel is reportedly doing it in Lebanon. Video by @decensorednews
Not a very balanced report but it's good news

@UrbaneSlave@Jonathan_K_Cook Please can you put a link to this article? Its useful to know what bias the publication has. Or even if it's a mock-up fake article.
But taken at face value it seems odd that he can openly celebrate indiscriminate murder by the IDF, yet not tolerate being called a creep.
Faced with an employment tribunal hearing and a massive backlash, Leeds University has backed down two years after it stripped academic rights from an emeritus professor, James Dickins, for expressing views in solidarity with Palestinians.
This is the same Leeds that notoriously employs as its Jewish chaplain a man who served in Gaza in Israel's genocidal army.

Systematic violence and human rights violations are not exceptions to Israel's apartheid regime and occupation, they are integral to it. Israel is using unbridled violence in all the territories under its control, as well as in Lebanon and Iran.
Since October 2023, this policy has escalated:
In Gaza: tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, millions forcibly displaced, entire neighborhoods and infrastructure systematically destroyed
In the West Bank: about 1,082 Palestinians killed, including 239 children and teenagers; 61 communities with at least 4,161 members forcibly displaced and another 15 partially so, with at least 454 members displaced
In Israeli prisons: thousands of Palestinians subjected to systemic torture, violence and humiliation, in inhumane conditions
Under Israel's apartheid regime, Palestinian lives are treated as expendable and millions across the Middle East are at risk.
@CommonsForeign Maybe start with the hasbara you promote on behalf of that genocidal state?
The biggest lie you have told is that you cannot act to prevent a genocide until a final ruling of genocide has been given by a competent court.
Retrospective prevention is a fairytale

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.
Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.
Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.
Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.
At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.
This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.
What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

This is, plain and simple, an Israeli war crime. They are punishing the entirety of the Palestinian population in Gaza as a retribution against Iran’s missile attack into Israel, which itself was a response to Israeli attacks against HZ in Lebanon.
But that’s an issue between Iran and Israel, not Israel and Gaza. The Palestinians are sealed in the Gaza Strip and pose no threat to Israel, and definitely we’re not party to the attacks by Iran today.
Israel has multiple military bases inside Gaza, so there is no military utility in blocking off the gates into the enclave, other than to punish the civilian population.
It is reprehensible.
A UN report on the environmental impact of AI says local communities must be included in discussions about data centres
🗣️ 'Nearby communities may bear disproportionate local environmental burdens, including water stress, land use pressures, and air pollution'
Keep in mind, that while all this is happening, not once did Israel stop bombing Gaza.
NOT ONCE.
Massacres are happening as we speak.
The genocide is still ongoing.

Which country? What part of Jerusalem are you in? Don't you think thats important, since East Jerusalem is under a brutal occupation & is part of the OPT
