Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed that Israel is the guardian of Christianity in the Middle East. Here is fresh evidence that claim is false.

[Armenian Patriarchate Of Jerusalem @ArmenianQuarter]

The Heads of Churches in Jerusalem condemn the rescheduling of a hearing by Israel putting unprecedented financial pressure on the Armenian Patriarchate, one of the oldest Christian Churches in the Holy Land. Please share.

The idea that in recent days whole towns and villages were blatantly, deliberately cut off from the public water supply because water companies haven't invested in enough equipment to treat and supply water is utter madness.

Single sex spaces are not 'unworkable'
We've had them for decades and until 5mins ago no one thought they were controversial
Then a group of males decided that female only spaces, services and sports were 'hateful'
StonewallUK added 'T' and started training out 'Stonewall Law' adding PCs that didn't exist to the Equality Act - erasing sex and sexual orientation
Suddenly sex is 'complicated' women, girls and same sex attracted people never existed, never had sex based rights and the law as it has existed for 16yrs under the EA is 'unworkable'

Contrary to the impression Israel seeks to create, its campaign of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement in the West Bank is not merely the result of sporadic settler violence. The violence is anything but sporadic, and settlers, in fact, play only a secondary role in it. As with nearly everything in the West Bank, the main driving force is the IDF. @Bryakoby, our Director of Media and Communications, made this point before a special Knesset committee chaired by MKs Ofer Cassif and Aida Touma-Suleiman of Hadash.

[Good Shepherd Collective @Shepherds4Good]

Between 2020 & 2026, Israel rejected birth registrations for nearly 1 in 4 Christian families in Jerusalem (102 of 419) and froze almost half of their family reunification applications (154 of 337). 340+ Jerusalem IDs (blue IDs) were also revoked.

Genocide was the objective from day one

[PoliticsHome @politicshome]

By age five, a child's brain is already 90% of its adult size. So why does early years policy sit so low on the national agenda?

@UEL_News and @Place2Be make the case for earlier, more joined-up investment in children's development.

Israelis who block aid trucks to feed starving children in Gaza are considered civilians.

Yemenis who block trade routes to prevent genocide in Gaza are considered pirates.

Americans who block aid ships to feed starving children in Cuba are considered peacemakers.

Iranians who block Strait of Hormuz to prevent ethnic cleansing in Lebanon are considered terrorists.

They invented a language to conceal their crimes against humanity. It’s as simple as that.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Our government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that melt human flesh to the bone. These bombs are targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. The U.S. must end its complicity in these war crimes, and pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

This isn’t an enemy power doing this. It’s from a power treated by western governments as being within the same sphere of influence, the same milieu, an ally, one of us.

Following a legal challenge filed with Israel’s Supreme Court against the continued illegal detention of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, Israeli forces submitted a request on June 3, 2026, to transfer him from Naqab Prison to solitary confinement in Nafha Prison.

The decision to place Dr. Abu Safiya in solitary confinement after pursuing legal avenues has raised concerns among his family regarding his health, safety, and overall well being, and is a significant escalation in his treatment while in custody.

HORRIFIC: Israeli settlers attacked the village of Baytin in the West Bank, setting tens of olive trees on fire.

The Israeli army is blocking fire trucks from reaching the site.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!

‘Trans people keep access to Hampstead ponds’

‘Trans people can continue to use Hamstead (sic) Heath's ponds after the City of London Corporation voted to keep the existing policy in place’

The BBC online team is incorrigible. Trans people never lost access, and were never threatened with being unable to use the ponds. That would be illegal. Whereas implementing the Supreme Court ruling is obviously not illegal.

Ludicrously misleading headline @BBCNews - designed to build an exclusion and victimhood narrative out of single-sex policy.

How hard is it to get it right?

‘Hampstead ponds to defy Equality Act on trans access’

‘‘Hampstead ponds to defy Supreme Court on trans access’

‘Hampstead ponds votes against single sex access’

‘Trans males keep access to women’s pond at Hampstead’

‘Trans people keep access to opposite sex Hampstead ponds’

No idea why the BBC wants to hide this from the transgender page, but it does. Some late in the day awareness that it’s a very bad look, perhaps.

Now we know who in the EU is protecting even Ben-Gvir and Smotrich from sanctions.

At yesterday’s EU ambassadors meeting, according to @destandaard:

🇩🇪Germany insisted on leaving out Smotrich, limiting it to Ben-Gvir.
🇨🇿Czech Rep. alone against sanctioning even Ben-Gvir.

[SEEN in Journalism @JournalismSEEN]

The BBC covers the finding that a school’s mixed sex toilet set up, where girls and boys share handwashing facilities, constituted an act of indirect discrimination against primary school girls.

But @BBCScotland decided not to tag it Schools, Primary Schools, Court of Session, Lothian, Equality Act, Transgender People, Toilets, Equality Act, Scottish Government, Court of Session, Sexism or Young People, all of which serve to hide it from those pages.

The government quietly handed Trump and Big Pharma control over NHS drug pricing and now it is being taken to court for doing it unlawfully.

[Bev Jackson @BevJacksonAuth]

The EU is unraveling into full-scale misogyny and homophobia. They are making sex self-ID a condition for new states like Montenegro that want to join. It is an utter disgrace.

Most who propagate this drivel have no idea what they are doing. Some know very well what they are doing - and are very pleased with the progress of their campaign.
