🚨 They couldn't control Telegram, so just yesterday they arrested Telegram's CEO in France.
They couldn't control TikTok, so they forced them to sell to American billionaires.
They couldn't control Wikileaks, so they arrested & tortured Julian Assange for 12 years.
They couldn't control Rumble, so they banned Rumble in France & are working on censoring it more.
Are you starting to get it?
"I was playing, and then they struck the home ahead of US!"
Palestinian child weeps in anguish as he recounts the horror of witnessing the Israeli occupation's bombardment of his neighbors' home in Gaza, only to find himself trapped beneath the rubble.
“Israel is not a Democracy, it’s an Ethnocracy… it’s designed to ensure the rule of a certain ethnic group”…
“There is no democracy for Palestinians living under occupation, whose lands are grabbed everyday, whose children are jailed everyday or tortured everyday”…
“Palestinians who have had their homes destroyed by settlers, can not even put a tarp over their living room to stop the rain coming in… that would be considered construction” 🇵🇸💔

Children in Gaza Strip;
• 19,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned.
• 2100 toddlers under the age of two have been killed.
• 41% of families are taking care of children who aren’t theirs.
My Thoughts on the Arrest of Richard Medhurst:
The arrest of the reporter @richimedhurst, who has been one of the most ardent critics of the genocide in Gaza and Israeli apartheid state, at Heathrow airport is part of the steady march towards the criminalization of journalism, something all of us, including Medhurst, understood lay at the heart of the long persecution of Julian Assange.
Where the "norm" was for police to detain people for questioning under Schedule 7, Medhurst became the first journalist in Britain to be arrested under Section 12 of the draconian Terrorism Act.
After being taken into custody by 6 police officers, having his electronic equipment seized and questioned, he was placed in solitary confinement for almost 24 hours. He was released on pre-charge bail. He will remain under investigation for at least 3 months and faces the prospect of being charged with an offence that could carry a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
This arrest is about paralyzing his work, and the work of all who call out Israel for its mass slaughter. It is an ominous warning to any who stand up for Palestinian rights. It is designed to have a chilling effect on reporting that elucidates Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza and increasingly the West Bank, as well as the active collaboration in this extermination of the Palestinian people by the U.S. and U.K. governments. Medhurst’s arrest has nothing to do with fighting terrorism, at least for those who still believe journalism is not terrorism.
If we do not vigorously oppose Medhurst’s arrest, if we do not denounce the use of terrorism laws to attempt to silence journalists, including the Scottish journalist @CraigMurrayOrg, @TheGrayzoneNews correspondent @KitKlarenberg and the late David Miranda who was working with @ggreenwald on the files leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, Medhurst’s arrest will become the “norm.”
BREAKING | Over 100 Israeli settlers storm the village of Jit near the occupied West Bank city of Qalqilya and burn Palestinian homes and cars. Injuries reported.
A critical bullet injury to the chest of a young man as a result of settlers shooting him, said the Red Crescent.
🚑 Today, Palestine Red Crescent teams transported the bodies of 14 individuals from Hamad City in #KhanYunis to Nasser Medical Hospital.

The PRCS Disaster Risk Management teams in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross, distributed around 500 portable toilets in several displaced persons’ gatherings in the Al-Mawasi area of #KhanYunis.
The Israeli occupation has openly stated that anyone who does not move south will be considered affiliated with Hamas and "in a terrorist organization."
That appears to be what happened to her family members.
Collective punishment is illegal under international law, @Israel.

Israeli media outlet Channel 12 published these photos of Palestinian captives in Gaza, claiming they are "Hamas terrorists."
However, @ShaimaZiara immediately recognized 5 of the 7 men as her family members that were taken captive last night from their home by Israeli forces. She says they are NOT affiliated with Hamas in any way.
Her uncle, who was taken with them, is not in the photos. His whereabouts remain unknown.
