Delivered by C‑section from her dead mother's body. 23 years old. 'israel' bombed and killed her. Buried them under rubble. The baby girl was named after her. Doctors gave her a 50/50 chance of survival. She died 5 days later and was buried next to her mum.
Check the date.
the zone of interest is a film about the idyllic, everyday life of an Auschwitz commandant and his wife, who raise their children in a home located directly adjacent to the concentration camp.
below is an unrelated photo showing Gaza from an israeli settlement.
Indonesian authorities have shut down several screenings of a new documentary on alleged human rights abuses in Papua, including Indigenous land seizures. Rights groups and international media still face restricted access to the region.

Disheartened to have to share the death of another courageous @UNIFIL_ peacekeeper. Corporal Rico Pramudia of Indonesia, who was critically injured on 29 March, has succumbed to his injuries. My deepest condolences to his family, friends and to the Indonesian Army & Government.

My favorite James Baldwin line: "There is a reason, after all, that some people wish to colonize the moon, and others dance before it as an ancient friend."

Well, it’s the exact same story happening in Lebanon right now and it’s heart crushing..
The vilest scum are delighting in their crimes.

Torture is being used as a weapon of genocide — and Australia is silent.

The attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked and unjustifiable.
Peace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war.
This is the behaviour of rogue states — and they have jeopardised the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression.
Our government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty and peace.
