“At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken,” organizers of the Global SumudFlotilla posted on the Telegram social media app.
“While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality Israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.”
@TheGarden I attended a game at MSG and was shown on the jumbotron for the "how long till they notice..." pre-game bit. Any way for me to get a snippet of that video?
Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.
Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.
Margaret Ryan, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s enforcement director, resigned effective last week after clashing with agency leadership over the direction of investigations, specifically those involving Donald Trump and his family, per YF
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
🚨 NEW: IDF drops indictment against soldiers videotaped sexually abusing Palestinian detainee at Sde Teiman
➤ Israel’s Military Advocate General Itay Offir canceled the indictment against five IDF soldiers, citing evidentiary and procedural problems, according to The Jerusalem Post.
➤ The soldiers were accused of sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman military detention facility, including sodomizing him with a sharp object.
➤ Medical reports found the detainee suffered fractured ribs, chest trauma, and a perforated rectum that required surgery. The Israeli soldiers claimed they were acting in self-defense.
➤ Prosecutors said the case was complicated after video of the abuse was leaked by the former Military Advocate, who later resigned, and after the detainee was released back to Gaza before testifying.
➤ Defense Minister Israel Katz welcomed the decision, calling the case a “blood libel against IDF soldiers.”
He added that “the role of the IDF’s legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war.”
Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
@BillAckman@realDonaldTrump Time for you to make some money I guess? Can you let us know which companies are in line to carve up Iran’s riches so we can at least profit too?
