“Close your eyes and put your passports on the table.” The most moral army in the world raided and abducted activists (armed with baby formula) on the Global Sumud Flotilla, who were trying to do what their governments failed to do — break the siege and help Gazans.
Absolutely extraordinary exchange between Israel and China 👇 I've never seen such a heated exchange come out of top-level forum in China (this is from the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that started yesterday), this normally never happens.
The guy speaking is Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, the most prestigious university in China.
Speaking for Israel is a military officer apparently called Elad Shoshan.
Yan Xuetong truly doesn't hold back:
- When the Israeli officer tries to bullshit him around how Israel supposedly protects civilians in Gaza, he replies: "You killed more than 70,000 civilians!... The fact is not decided by you... It is not decided by your government. Your government has no legitimacy or the right to decide or defend what is fact"
- And when told that the war will end when Hamas release hostages he replies: "No, this kind of propaganda have too many. No one believe it! Too many! Too much! No one believe it, except a few Israelis"
a Christian british man breaks down a verse from the Qur’an that’s written on a van even much better than some people’s way of interpretation😮

Palestinian girl tried to escape Israel’s bombardment last night of the school she and her family took shelter in. At least 30 were killed. We failed to protect her and thousands of our children. This must stop. And child murderers will be held accountable no matter how long it takes.
Civilians, including children, continue to bear the brunt of armed conflict.
More than 36,000 civilians were killed in 14 conflicts in 2024.
Wars have rules that everyone must respect.
Protection of civilians must be the absolute priority.
They are #NotATarget.
"I hear the call for a new political party. I fully understand that, and that political party needs to be well-informed and effective".
And "by next year’s local elections... we’re going to have something in place":
Retweet if you would join Corbyn’s new party
The dream we have nurtured for centuries is finally coming true. This achievement is not the result of any single person’s work, but the collective effort of hundreds of thousands of you. Your commitment has brought us this far, and for that, I am deeply grateful. This victory belongs to all of us.
Our journey here has been paved by the sacrifices of so many who gave their sweat, tears, and even their lives for this cause. Their sacrifices are not forgotten. We hold the scepter of their hopes and struggles, knowing the responsibility it carries. The millions of eyes filled with hope and expectation push us forward, and together, we stand ready to rewrite Sri Lankan history.
This dream can only be realized with a fresh start. The unity of Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, and all Sri Lankans is the bedrock of this new beginning. The New Renaissance we seek will rise from this shared strength and vision.
Let us join hands and shape this future together!
