Aerial images reveal the massive scale of destruction across Gaza, where the Israeli occupation has wiped out entire residential neighborhoods and devastated farmlands, after dropping nearly 200,000 tons of explosives since October 7, the equivalent of around 13 nuclear bombs.
OH. MY. GAWD. The protest against Trump is stretching all the way to the White House! No wonder Trump ran away like a frightened pre-pubescent toddler when he was told how massive the No Kings protest in DC was going to be. The American people despise the loathsome piece of shit.
BREAKING: Massive turnout at the No Kings Day protest in New York City Times Square.
This is Trump‘s worst nightmare. People normalizing the fact that it’s OK to protest against a wannabe dictator.
🚨BREAKING🚨:🇺🇸 #NoKings Protest Takes Over Times Square NYC 🗽🪧
Thousands gather in New York’s Times Square for the nationwide “No Kings” protests against what organizers say are authoritarian actions by the Trump administration. Events are planned in all 50 states today.
⚡️JUST IN: ICC Rejects Israel’s Appeal
The International Criminal Court has denied Israel’s appeal seeking to cancel the arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, confirming that the warrants remain fully in force as part of ongoing investigations into war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Has this world completely lost the plot. I can’t believe we’re watching this. Daily. Daily. If it’s not a kid being killed, it’s a kid being kidnapped, if it’s not a kid being kidnapped it’s a kid watching a parent get killed or kidnapped. This has been happening for years and the excuse had been ‘oh but people don’t know’…everyone now knows, there is no excuse which makes it all the more terrifying.
🚨 Today’s decision by an Israeli court to extend Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s arbitrary detention for another six months without charges or trial is yet another outrageous injustice. Dr. Hussam should have never been detained in the first place, let alone subjected to this ordeal of torture and abuse. We, at Amnesty International, refuse to be silent and will continue to demand his immediate and unconditional release and that of all other Palestinians arbitrarily detained by Israel.

#FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya
My name is Dr. Neena Jha
I am a family doctor in the UK
I am calling for the immediate release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who was abducted by Israel
They will imprison & torture him for a further 6 months without charge/trial for refusing to leave his patients
Save Dr Safiya 🚨
If this was an Israeli child, this atrocity would lead every news bulletin, and be splashed on every front page.
But this is a Palestinian child murdered by Israel.
There’s no attempt to disguise the total lack of value attached to Palestinian life - none at all.
BREAKING: The government LOST their appeal and failed to stop the legal challenge of the Palestine Action ban.
That means the Judicial Review will go ahead on November 25-27th.
Not only that, but we won TWO MORE grounds to argue the illegality of the ban.
Huge victory.
The family of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya confirms the extension of his administrative detention for six more months, despite earlier discussions of his release. They express deep concern and urge all legal, humanitarian, and negotiating bodies to work for his immediate freedom.
Israel tortured and sexually humiliated Greta Thunberg.
Some excerpts from her interview with the Swedish paper Aftonblatet:
"They grab me, pull me to the ground, and throw an Israeli flag over me."
"They dragged me to the opposite side from where the others were sitting, and I had the flag around me the whole time. They hit and kicked me."
"They moved me very brutally to a corner that I was turned towards. ‘A special place for a special lady’, they said. And then they had learned ‘Lilla hora’ (Little whore) and ‘Hora Greta’ (Whore Greta) in Swedish, which they repeated all the time."
In the corner where Greta was sitting, the police placed a flag.
"The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that."
"They were thrown to the ground and beaten. But I could only see it out of the corner of my eye, because every time I lifted my head from the ground, I was kicked by the guard standing next to me."
Greta was then taken into a building to be searched and undressed. "The guards have no empathy or humanity, and they keep taking selfies with me. There’s a lot I don’t remember. So much is happening at once. You’re in shock. You’re in pain, but you go into a state of trying to stay calm."
Outside, she was forced to take off her clothes again, she says. "It was mockery, rough handling, and everything was filmed. Everything they do is extremely violent."
"It was so hot, like 40 degrees. We begged the whole time: Can we have water? Can we have water? In the end, we screamed. The guards walked in front of the bars the whole time, laughing and holding up their water bottles. They threw the bottles with water in them into the trash cans in front of us."
"When people fainted, we banged on the cages and asked for a doctor. Then the guards came and said, ‘We’re going to gas you.’ It was standard for them to say that."
"This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors."
Thunberg says the Swedish government greatly downplayed the abuse she and her fellow Sumud Flotilla activists suffered, and wouldn't even bring them water.
"We were together and told them about the treatment we received. About the lack of food, water, about the abuse. The torture. We showed them the physical injuries we had – bruises and scratches. We gave them all our contact details – I gave them my father's number and the number of our contact in the organization. We were clear: everything we say now must be released to the media."
"They didn’t do anything, they just said: ’Our job is to listen to you. We are here and you are entitled to consular support.’"
"We said over and over again: we need water. And they saw that the guards had water bottles. The embassy staff said: ’We’ll make a note of that.’ One of us, Vincent, said: ’Next time we meet you, you must bring water.’
Then it took two days before the embassy staff showed up again.
"They didn't bring any water, except for a small bottle of their own that was half empty. Vincent, who was in the worst shape, got to drink it. We kept asking the guards, 'Can we have some water?' but they just walked around with their water bottles and didn't answer."
"I said, 'Are you going to leave us like this? If you leave now, they will beat us up.' But they just kept walking."
When Aftonbladet compares emails sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to relatives, with what the captives describe telling embassy staff, it becomes clear that the seriousness of the situation has been downplayed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs describes the scene at the port, where Greta Thunberg was beaten for hours, as follows: “She told us about harsh treatment and that she had been sitting on a hard surface for a long time.”
On Saturday, several media outlets published testimonies that Greta had been subjected to torture.
Aftonbladet has spoken to three other members of the flotilla who largely confirm what Greta Thunberg says and who have all experienced various types of abuse and humiliation. We have also spoken to relatives. Everyone is highly critical of how the Swedish embassy staff acted.
What's extraordinary about this story is the Israelis didn't even bother to remove evidence of execution - bound hands, blindfolds - before handing the bodies back.
Impunity.
No comment needed.
All eyes on Gaza, on Palestine.
The human family cannot abandon the Palestinian people to the criminal enterprise that controls their lives and destiny.
This is Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh, Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, defiant in the face of Israeli tanks. Israel destroyed his hospital and cut off the oxygen to patients.
Israel refuses to release him.
Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh should be free
Journalist: “You’ve said that Russia should repay for the reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should repay for the reconstruction of Gaza?”
EU chief spokesperson: “I have no comment at this stage.”
Western hypocrisy and double standards — plain as day.
