🚨 9 Ayda Tanınmaz Hâle Geldi:
Filistinli sporcu Moazaz Obayat'ın, İsrail hapishanelerinde geçirdiği 9 ayın ardından çekilen görüntüleri
Öncesi ve sonrası arasındaki çarpıcı değişim, tutukluların maruz kaldığı koşulları gözler önüne serdi
BREAKING: Justice Jeremy Johnson has ruled that the Filton 4 will be sentenced as terrorists – even though two juries refused to convict them of violence charges over their efforts to disable an Israeli factory in the UK making killer drones for use in Gaza. They were found guilty of a minor charge of criminal damage.
Judge Johnson kept the jury in the dark of his plans to sentence the four as terrorists. This is the first time in British legal history that anyone has been sentenced as a terrorist for damaging property. It's a very dark moment in an increasingly authoritarian Britain.
Thousands of legal professionals complained about Johnson's clear abuses of legal procedures to help the government's case for proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist group.
Johnson has now proved this was always a show trial.
I explain how he rigged the two trials here: https://t.co/fXTkUAmIvh
The problem was never Trump.
Trump is the readable version of a text that was always there, written in language most people couldn't access.
The problem is the system that produced him, that uses him, that will survive him, and that will next time find someone equally willing to do what he does but competent enough to do it quietly.
The competent version is more dangerous.
The competent version rebuilds the language. Restores the branding. Hires the speechwriters who know how to say "shared values" and "rules-based order" while executing identical policy.
And the people who spent four years appalled by Trump's vulgarity will feel the relief of good grammar and take it for moral improvement.
The empire doesn't need Trump specifically.
It needed what he provided: a stress test. A period of operation without the usual ideological cover, to see what held and what didn't.
What held: the sanctions. The bases. The vetoes. The dollar. The weapons sales. The regime change operations.
What didn't hold: the manners.
And when someone comes along who can restore the manners while keeping everything else, and they will, they always do, the people who thought the problem was the manners will call it a recovery.
The rest of us will know what it actually is.
On May 24, 10 of our Land Convoy volunteers were abducted by Libyan forces as they neared Sirte to negotiate safe passage of humanitarian aid into Gaza—exactly as previously agreed.
Now, after almost three weeks of being illegally held without charge, sources say their detention in Libya has been extended for the second time.
This is an outrage. And governments must respond.
Pressure officials to act NOW to secure the safe release of these citizens of Spain, Poland, the United States, Argentina, Uruguay, Portugal, Tunisia, and Italy.
FIFA rejected a jersey recognizing may be the greatest ever win for human liberation. It’s part of a long history of punishing Haiti for its important contribution to advancing equality.
International football federation FIFA recently decided that Haiti’s jersey for the World Cup violated its rules prohibiting political imagery. Named after the elite soldiers of the Haitian Revolution, the Grenadiers’ jersey featured a small image based on the Battle of Vertières, which was the culmination of a 13-year struggle for independence.
The 1791-1804 Haitian Revolution delivered a major blow to slavery, white supremacy and European colonial rule. “Arguably”, notes Peter Hallward, “there is no single event in the whole of modern history whose implications were more threatening to the dominant global order of things.”
Before the 1791 slave revolt the French colony of Saint Domingue was home to 450,000 people in bondage. At its peak in the 1750s the ‘Pearl of the Antilles’ provided as much as 50 per cent of France’s GNP.
The African masses put a stop to that with a merciless struggle that overcame the most barbaric slave plantation system. The revolt rippled through the region and compelled the post-French Revolution government in Paris to abolish slavery in its Caribbean colonies.
Between 1791 and 1804 ‘Haitians’ would defeat tens of thousands of French, British and Spanish troops (‘Canada’ backed the British and Washington backed France financially), leading to the world’s first and only successful large-scale slave revolution. The first nation of free people in the Americas, Haiti established a slave-free state 27 years before human bondage was abolished in today’s Canada and 58 years before the USA’s emancipation proclamation (it wasn’t until after this proclamation ending slavery that the US recognized Haiti’s independence.)
The Haitian Revolution’s geopolitical effects were immense. It stimulated the Louisiana Purchase and London’s 1807 Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. The revolutionary state also provided important support to South American independence movements.
After winning their liberation from slavery and colonial rule in a war that killed half the population, Haitians were forced to pay their former slave masters an astronomical sum for their freedom. In a remarkable act of imperial humiliation, two decades after independence Haiti began paying France a huge indemnity for lost property, which was the now free Haitians. Under threat of invasion and the restoration of slavery, Francophile Haitian president Jean-Pierre Boyer agreed to pay French slaveholders 150 million francs. It took Haiti 122 years to pay the ransom.
In the lead-up to the 200-year anniversary of the Battle of Vertière and country’s independence, the Haitian government instigated a commission to estimate the cost of the ransom, which they put conservatively at $21 billion. The Jean-Bertrand Aristide government called for its restitution and instigated legal proceedings to force Paris to pay. The demand was part of why France (along with Canada and the US) helped overthrow Aristide in 2004 and the coup government dropped the issue.
A country born in the only ever successful large scale slave revolt should be allowed to mark a struggle that greatly advanced human equality on its football jersey. FIFA demanding the Grenadiers expunge its commemoration of the Battle of Vertières is odious.
Let’s hope the Haitian team responds with a successful tournament.
BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York.
Apartheid without borders.
P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.
Why is FIFA’s top referee boss so relaxed amid clear structural injustice? As the US weaponizes visas, blocks an elite Somali referee, and subjects African delegations to tarmac humiliations at the 2026 World Cup, Pierluigi Collina remains completely silent.
The hypocrisy is glaring. This is the exact same system that swiftly disciplined Indonesia for asserting its sovereignty, yet now trembles before American power. This isn't "neutrality"—it is outright complicity. While Infantino tells Africa to "chill," the entire refereeing establishment has chosen corporate comfort over systemic courage.
The Global South deserves uncompromised integrity, not empty excuses of non-intervention. Referees of the world: speak up now or stand forever exposed as part of the rot. Sovereignty must be respected on and off the pitch.
Twenty-two countries demonising Iran and promoting false flag narratives.
“The statement was issued by Albania, Australia, Belgium, Britain, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and the United States.”
So it’s essentially a global “rights for whites” campaign?
This is an absolutely major story and almost no Western media covered it: India's water minister CR Patil said on Tuesday that "it is certain, not a single drop of water will go (to Pakistan) in the coming years."
Patil said that India is "actively working on it" after "directives" from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
As a reminder, Pakistan's dependence on water from India is close to total: the country is essentially built around the Indus river system, all of whose rivers flow through India before entering Pakistan.
The Indus system irrigates 80% of Pakistan's farmland, generates a third of its electricity, supplies its major cities with drinking water, and sustains the livelihoods of some 240 million people.
So, essentially, no water from India = annihilation of Pakistan as a state.
Pretty damn consequential, all the more given we're talking about 2 nuclear powers here. And all the more because, understandably, Pakistan's formal position is that water diversion would constitute "an act of war" (https://t.co/WLoDpGzc2W).
Unfortunately, Patil's statement isn't just talk: India already set up the legal framework to make this possible. Last year, they unilaterally suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, despite the treaty containing no withdrawal clause.
It used to be the one piece of India-Pakistan relations that worked, and had survived multiple wars and over six decades of hostility. Now India is saying officially that it will "never be restored" (https://t.co/2SnUNevFbX).
The one mitigating factor here is physics: you don't just "turn off" a major Himalayan river system. Diverting rivers of this magnitude means building massive storage and canal infrastructure in Himalayan terrain: projects measured in years.
But India IS ACTUALLY BUILDING that infrastructure: for instance it just approved in May the building of the so-called "Chenab–Beas Link Tunnel," an 8.7km ₹2,352 crore (~$280M) tunnel designed to divert water from the Chenab basin into India's Beas river system. The Chenab is one of the main tributaries of the Indus - and one of the three "western rivers" (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab) allocated to Pakistan under the 1960 Indus Water Treaty.
Which means that, unfortunately, Patil's "not a single drop of water in the coming years" looks like a roadmap: the infrastructure to strangle Pakistan's water supply is being approved and tendered in plain sight.
This is also a story about selective media coverage and double standards: I'm willing to bet that 99% of people in the West have never heard of any of this.
Now make this thought experiment: imagine China announced it was building infrastructure to cut off every drop of water flowing to India and its ministers proclaimed on television that "not a single drop" would cross the border. It would be wall-to-wall coverage, sanctions packages, and a thousand op-eds about Beijing "weaponizing water."
Heck we don't need to imagine because the simple fact of China merely building a hydropower dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo (the upstream Brahmaputra) generated exactly the wall-to-wall alarm I'm describing, even though China threatened nothing and even though Indian officials said the threat is a "myth" given the fact that the river gathers most of its volume inside India from monsoon rains (https://t.co/GBgBybBPoE). Malign intent was still presumed from the act of construction, because it's China.
In India's case, the intent couldn't possibly be clearer: it's proclaimed by ministers on the record, and backed by India's actions. But because they're a courted Western partner, what they're doing - arguably the most extreme form of economic warfare imaginable, directed at a nuclear state - largely gets silence.

Herzliya was named after the founder of political Zionism Theodor Herzl. It was built over the lands of three Palestinian villages that were ethnically cleansed & destroyed by Israel in 1948: Ijlil al-Shamaliyya, Ijlil al-Qibliyya, & al-Haram (Sayyiduna 'Ali). 1/
"Tenemos derecho a bombardear Irán porque teníamos un helicóptero armado con una bomba entrando en el estrecho de Ormuz e Irán nos lo derribó, el helicóptero era una máquina increíble y quedó en llamas, aunque la bomba no explotó".
En otro discurso delirante, Trump desveló que invadió el espacio aéreo de Irán con un helicóptero armado con una bomba (en mitad de supuestas negociaciones de paz) y que Irán derribó el helicóptero antes de que EEUU atacase... por lo que según la lógica de este demente, EEUU, el que iba a lanzar la bomba, es ahora la víctima.
Pobre Irán tener que lidiar con estos zumbados genocidas con menos estabilidad mental que un pulpo en un iglú.
It’s wild that a few missiles from Iran is getting more attention in media than Israel bombing Lebanon 3,500 times or the burning—by Israeli invaders “settlers”—of a village that is home to the oldest living Christian community in the world, where Jesus Christ once walked.
Both are a violation of international law, but focusing on only one side is not journalism.
Netanyahu asks Lebanese if they remember the days when Lebanon was called the “Pearl of the Middle East.”
We do.
We also remember who invaded Lebanon in 1982, besieged Beirut, occupied the south for nearly two decades, bombed our cities, carried out massacres, assassinations & repeated wars.
Interesting how Hezbollah is blamed for everything, including Lebanon’s decline, while the Israeli invasion, occupation & destruction that predated Hezbollah’s very existence are simply erased from the story.
Hezbollah did not invade Lebanon. Israel did.
Hezbollah did not create the occupation. Hezbollah emerged because of it.
You also speak as though Hezbollah is not Lebanese. Whether one supports it or opposes it, Hezbollah represents a significant segment of Lebanese society. It has MPs in parliament, ministers in government, & a constituency that cannot simply be wished out of existence. Millions of Lebanese cannot be erased because that makes for a more convenient Israeli political narrative.
The arrogance of telling Lebanese to “free themselves” from other Lebanese while Israeli forces occupy Lebanese territory & Israeli aircraft violate Lebanese airspace daily is difficult to miss.
You speak as though Lebanon’s problems began with Hezbollah & Iran. That is historically illiterate at best & deliberately dishonest at worst.
Lebanon has suffered from corruption, sectarianism, foreign intervention & political failure. But it has also endured repeated Israeli invasions, occupations, bombardments, assassinations & wars long before Hezbollah became a major force.
And now the man whose military has spent months bombing Lebanese towns, flattening homes, killing civilians, displacing entire communities & threatening the country with “another Gaza” wants to present himself as a concerned friend of the Lebanese people.
The audacity is staggering. It would be impressive were it not so grotesque. The historical revisionism is even worse.
You must be getting desperate if this is the story you are trying to sell.
🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel Files FIFA Complaint Over Iran's "168" School-Massacre Pins
Knesset deputy speaker Simon Davidson ran to Infantino, fretting that gold badges for the 168 children killed at the Minab school are dragging "politics" into football.
The missiles that collapsed a classroom of 7-year-olds were fine. A lapel pin remembering them is the emergency. Cry harder.
114 enfants palestiniens. Une seule balle chacun. Dans la tête ou dans la poitrine. Observés par 15 médecins internationaux, des gens habitués aux pires théâtres de guerre. Et pourtant, ils disent tous : on n’avait jamais vu ça.
Des gamins de moins de 15 ans, arrivés aux urgences avec un trou unique, net, mortel. Pas d’éclats d’obus, pas de tir croisé, pas de "dommage collatéral". Une balle. Une seule. En pleine tête. Ou en plein thorax. Recommandation : viser les zones vitales, efficace, pas de seconde chance.
Les médecins racontent : le même schéma se répète, hôpital après hôpital, semaine après semaine. Un enfant qui rentre de l’école, un autre qui jouait dans la rue, un troisième qui dormait. Tous avec le même type de blessure. Comme si une main invisible les avait choisis un par un. Comme si un tireur, tranquillement, les avait alignés dans son viseur.
L’enquête du Volkskrant, c’est 17 soignants, des radios, des scanners, des expertises médico-légales. Et une conclusion qui glace : ces blessures sont typiques de tirs de précision. Snipers. Drones. Peu importe l’outil, l’intention est là : tuer des gosses, méthodiquement, sans prendre le risque d’en rater un.
Israël nie, bien sûr. Mais les preuves sont là, accumulées, têtues, insoutenables. 114 enfants. C'est un massacre, une horreur, l'ignominie érigée en méthode.
Et 114, ce n'est que le nombre de cas formellement répertoriés. Il y en a sûrement des centaines de plus, restés sous les décombres ou dans le silence des hôpitaux.
L’article devrait être lu, partagé, crié sur tous les toits. Parce que c’est une preuve, une preuve de l’ignominie d’Israël. Une preuve que le génocide n’est pas une hyperbole, mais une réalité froide, méthodique, assumée. Alors lisez, partagez, et n’oubliez jamais : 114 enfants, une balle chacun, en pleine tête.
