Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s message to the court today as relayed by his attorney:

“I am a pediatrician. I provide medical care to patients, the injured, and vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip. I have carried out my work in accordance with international law and humanitarian standards. My detention is unjust and arbitrary.”

"There is something absurd about being told that footage of your destroyed neighborhood violates community standards, while the destruction itself continues uninterrupted. Something darkly funny about an app warning you that your post about a massacre is “too violent,” as if the violence begins with the image and not the act. The platform is offended—not by death, but by its documentation." -Taqwa Ahmed Alwawi

Video from a court in Jerusalem shows Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appearing by video link and attempting to speak with his lawyer before Israeli court security blocked the screen and cut the connection, preventing journalists from filming.

His attorney repeatedly told the court he could neither see nor hear Abu Safiya after the video feed was cut, saying his captors had “turned off the camera,” further fueling concerns over the imprisoned Gaza doctor’s treatment after he appeared emaciated and bore apparent signs of physical abuse.

Insane how 20 missiles from Iran is getting more attention in Western media than Zionists bombing Lebanon 3,500 times.

What a weird way of saying ISRAEL KILLED Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil.

⭕️ New footage released by B’Tselem shows an Israeli soldier opening fire on a Palestinian family’s car in Hebron as it was slowing to a stop on June 5.

🔹Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was shot in the head and killed. His parents were also wounded, with his mother remaining hospitalized.

🔹B’Tselem says footage shows the “car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever”

🔹Soldiers left without providing aid to the infant or his injured mother

🚨BREAKING: Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza and halted the entry of humanitarian aid following Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, cutting off supplies to roughly 2 million Palestinians in the territory.

Israel has imposed similar blanket closures during previous periods of regional escalation, including immediately after the outbreak of war in late February, collectively punishing Gaza’s civilian population.

Apparently there are a lot of people who don't know that Anthony Stewart Head was Frank-N-Furter in the stage version of Rocky Horror Picture Show.

If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre.

When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.

[Jurassic Snark @underhandrea]

RIP Anthony Stewart Head.

Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.

How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.

⭕️ NYT Called Every Major Gaza City a “Hamas Stronghold,” New Book Documents

A new book by media critic Adam Johnson, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, documents how the New York Times used the term “Hamas stronghold” 154 times between October 2023 and October 2024, almost always while reporting on war crimes or pending war crimes.

Johnson shows the paper applied the label to all five of Gaza’s most populated cities, including refugee camps like Jabaliya, where an Israeli strike killed upwards of 120 people in an October 2023 attack. The NYT headline read: “Israel Strike Targets Hamas Stronghold in Dense Gaza Area.”

The book argues the framing militarized civilian areas in the public imagination to justify their destruction.

Michigan holds nearly 20% of the world’s fresh surface water, a sacred trust we are obligated to protect for future generations. That is not negotiable.

So let me be blunt: Governor Whitmer smiling for photos with Sam Altman while handing over Michigan’s water and energy to his data centers is a betrayal of every family that depends on these resources. This isn’t economic development, it’s a sweetheart deal for a Silicon Valley billionaire at Michigan taxpayers’ expense.

AI data centers consume millions of gallons of water and massive amounts of electricity.

Who pays the price? Michigan families, farmers, and communities.

Who pockets the profits? Out-of-state tech oligarchs who will never have to live with the consequences.

I am running for Congress because Michigan’s water, land, and energy belong to the people of Michigan, not to the billionaire class and not to politicians who roll out the red carpet for them.

We will not subsidize the exploitation of our most precious natural resources so the ultra-wealthy can grow even richer.

Enough. Michigan is not for sale.

Horrific videos from Gaza have been circulating for hours after israel struck a residential building.

I don’t know what’s more disturbing, the image of children’s bodies torn apart (again) or the fact that it’s barely considered newsworthy because the children are Palestinian.

Over the past 50 years, Israel has armed, trained & supported many of the most racist, violent & genocidal states in the world, including:

(1) the antisemitic Argentinian military junta, (2) Pinochet's Chile, (3) the genocide of Guatemala's Mayans, (4) Apartheid South Africa, (5) the Serb genocide of Bosnians, (4) the Hutu genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda, (5) death squads in the Philippines, (6) the Myanmar genocide of the Rohingya Muslims, (7) the Azerbaijani ethnic cleansing of Nagorno-Karabakh, and many others (full piece below).

“My groom is a martyr…”

This is how Duaa Mansour announced the death of her fiancé, Moustafa Qassab.

“My groom became a martyr before we could celebrate our wedding…”

This was written by Duaa for Moustafa, killed overnight in one of Israel’s blitzes on Tyre, alongside his father Kamal Qassab & his sister Sireen.

Hours earlier, these were just ordinary photos of a young couple preparing for marriage, smiling, embracing & planning a future together.

By morning, Duaa was writing a farewell instead of preparing for a wedding.

“Not every bride wears white… some brides wear the pain of a homeland.”

“And my dowry was you, my moon-like martyr…

“They brought us heaven, my beautiful groom,
and scattered roses upon us, my heart…
But it was not how we dreamed it would be.”

Another family erased. Another wedding turned into mourning. Another future buried beneath rubble & fire in South Lebanon.

"Me han bloqueado todas las tarjetas por emitir la orden de arresto contra Netanyahu, no puede comprar ni tomar un avión ni alquilar una habitación de hotel".

Nicolas Gouyou, juez francés de la Corte Penal Internacional, quien emitió una orden de arresto contra Netanyahu, afirma que "Israel" y EEUU han bloqueado todas sus cuentas y están hundiéndole la vida solo por intentar que el sionismo rinda cuenta.

Esta es su "justicia internacional" donde los pocos jueces que intenten hacer rendir cuentas a "Israel" son perseguidos y hundidos por el sionismo, todo esto de los tribunales internacionales es una farsa que solo sirve para perseguir a países enemigos de EEUU.

"Israel envió a mi casa a 2 tipos para ofrecerme un sobre con 500 dólares para que dejase de investigar sus crímenes en Palestina. Después el jefe del Mossad, Yossi Cohen, me amenazó a mi y a mi familia para que dejase de investigar a Israel"

Fatou Bensouda, ex fiscal jefe de la Corte Penal Internacional, denuncia las amenazas y el intento de soborno que "Israel" le hizo para que parase de investigar sus crímenes en Palestina.

En esta entrevista, Fatou cuenta cómo los sionistas controlan a los jueces internacionales, a través de las amenazas y los sobornos, al igual que el imperio de EEUU, que bloqueó sus cuentas bancarias y le hizo la vida imposible por intentar juzgar sus crímenes.

Así funciona el mundo capitalista, los poderosos controlan a los jueces para que no les juzguen y solo persigan a sus enemigos, todo es corrupción y mafia.
