Palestinian goalkeeper Saleem Al-Ashqar was shot dead by Israeli forces in Gaza. Married just five months ago, he leaves behind a wife expecting their first child. The Palestinian Football Association says more than 1,000 Palestinian athletes have been killed since October 2023.
When I was 6 years old, Israel dropped bombs disguised as toys on us in Lebanon.
New report reveals that Israel left behind bombs disguised as toys in Gaza.
Today, a cluster bomb shaped like a small football found in South Lebanon.
But keep talking about Israel not targeting children.
I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation linked to the strikes on oil depots in Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Gulf states, and beyond.
This is a picture of Moscow now. Covered in thick black toxic clouds of smoke, raining oil on 14 million people with cancerous polluted air entering every lung. People breathing this. Animals breathing this. Trees breathing this. A humanitarian and environmental catastrophe.
Bombing oil depots has serious environmental and humanitarian consequences. Hazardous "black rain" and "acidic rain" could pose serious health risks as toxic pollutants spread in the air, and contaminated the water—raise concerns of "wider regional pollution exposure", with the long-term effects of pollutants, affect respiratory health and contaminate water, that will affect people for years.
Every bomb dropped on an oil depots is a time bomb for the people and the planet.
This has moved beyond geopolitics. It's a crime against humanity.
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.
Mexico City and all federal authorities must uphold the right to protest for all groups and families demonstrating during the World Cup.
Groups have been campaigning for the search and identification of their disappeared loved ones for years - work that is a legitimate form of human rights defense. This must be recognized, respected and protected. Guaranteeing the right to protest is an obligation of the Mexican State.
Events surrounding the World Cup must point to humanity, not cruelty.

🚨The recent images of Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia are shocking evidence of Israel's abuse against Palestinian detainees.
Dr. Abu Safyia has been arbitrarily detained for one and a half years without charges, while being physically abused and denied healthcare.
His recent solitary confinement adds a further layer of concerns over his deteriorating health. Dr. Abu Safyia must be immediately and unconditionally released. Israel must release all Palestinians arbitrarily detained. States must pressure Israel to stop abusing Palestinian prisoners.

OUTRAGEOUS! In front of their families and the entire Basque press, our Flotilla volunteers were attacked by the airport police in Bilbao, Basque Country-Spain, upon returning to their home country.
For the 2nd time in 3 weeks, the most moral army has abducted our comrades from international waters.
In protest of their illegal abduction and in solidarity with the over 9500 Palestinian hostages held in israeli dungeons, at least 87 participants committed to a hunger strike.
We demand all hostages of the israeli regime to be released!
Call on your government to speak out agains this act of piracy!

We have set sail from Barcelona after letting a storm pass: Gaza, we are coming.
The glittering waters reflect our hopes, whilst our hearts ache with the news of loved ones killed in Lebanon and the expansion of illegal settlements in the West Bank.
We sail for Palestine, we sail for our interconnected struggles and for collective liberation.
Israeli authorities have unleashed a series of unlawful measures such as land registration, that are deliberately designed to dispossess Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and to make the annexation of the territory an irreversible reality.
These decisions clear the path for further takeover of Palestinian land, authorize a record number of new settlements, expand existing ones, and formalize registration of land in the West Bank as Israeli state property effectively enabling Israel’s land grabs.
Israel has invented new ways to violate international law, further entrenching its unlawful occupation and apartheid and while totally disregarding its obligations as an occupying power towards Palestinian civilians. Israel instead has deliberately and consistently advanced its aggressive annexation agenda, with total impunity in blatant violation of international law, which categorically prohibits annexation, settling civilians from the occupying power in the occupied territory, displacing or removing protected persons and unlawfully seizing property in the occupied territory: https://t.co/xNxkhqYyvC
Israel bombs Lebanon on Mondays and Thursdays.
Israel bombs Syria on Wednesdays.
Israel bombs Palestine the rest of the week.
Only Israel can bomb 3 countries and still be perceived as the victim.
Let us in.
For more than two years, we’ve been barred from entering Gaza to report freely. It’s long past time for Israel to lift this ban and #LetUsIn.

“Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people. It is not up for grabs. And it is not for sale. It is not a land without a people. And despite all its efforts, Israel will not transform us into a people without a land.
The latest Israeli decisions mean we have reached the end of the road. Now annexation is in full display.
This Israeli government considers us alien to our own land, refuses to recognize our existence as a nation. It claims to be defending civilization by oppressing us and denying us our fundamental rights. It might think why does the world care about the fate of the barbarians. There is something fundamentally racist about this colonial narrative underlying all these illegal policies.”

🇨🇴🇺🇸 The President of Colombia sends a message to Trump:
Instead of arresting the president of Venezuela for oil, you should have arrested Netanyahu, the genocide leader wanted by the International Criminal Court.
