Western mainstream media is nothing more than the Israeli propaganda machine.
It's no coincidence that the Zionist Labour government in the UK is moving to make it illegal to quote any non-mainstream sources reporting on Israeli war crimes.
Two-year-old Layla was shot in the head and killed while sitting in her mother’s lap during an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank. She is among more than 22000 Palestinian children murdered by Israel in the last 1000 days.
They were just innocent children playing inside a tent; why did the israelis bomb them with a missile? why is the world silent about them? https://t.co/fJlTNYN8wM
🇪🇬 Egypt’s coach dedicated his team’s World Cup win over Australia to the Palestinian people, after the Pharaohs advanced to the Round of 16 for the first time in their history, winning 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in regulation.
“My heart and soul are with them,” coach Hossam Hassan said of Palestinians, praying that “God have mercy on their martyrs.” He added, “I dedicate this victory to the Egyptian people and to the good and generous Palestinian people.”
Journalist Nahej Hajjaj filmed Palestinians celebrating the victory. Egypt next face the winner of Argentina v Cape Verde, where Argentina currently lead 1-0 through a Lionel Messi goal after 30 minutes.
I've been having conversations with several smart people over the past two days about the Israeli public's response to the life of the Palestinians in Gaza and in the West Bank. As far as the Israeli smart cookies are concerned, there is absolutely nothing with regard to this "situation". They are bored with the historical / legal / moral implications of the story.
"Yes, it is the Palestinians' fault. They shouldn't have started a war they are not prepared to lose. Everyone knows that they just want to kill us anyway. We, they and us, would be better off if they weren't here. That is all common knowledge. But how long can you keep repeating these things? This is war. We will keep fighting forever. That is what the PM said and we believe him. Can we move on now? Can we remember it is summer vacation and get on with the business of living? Could you be less of a stick in the mud and let us do just that?"
The smart ones who are not Israeli cannot but ask again and again and again, "now that the Israeli public knows what is happening, now that it is a broad consensus that more than 70000 were killed, is the Israeli public capable of acknowledging its actions? Is anyone in Israel capable of a discussion about what happened and is continuing to happen? Can Israelis, gearing up for a general action, consider or imagine a future that is not perpetual war?"
It is almost impossible to explain, or it may be the easiest thing in the world to explain, but the general answer to all the questions from outside Israel is "no". Israelis know everything, but they don't care and they have no plans for caring. At best or at worst they are talking about delaying "discussion" about these "affairs" to a later date, after the only issue on their agenda is resolved - replacing Binyamin Netanyahu as PM.
There is nothing there. Many Israelis celebrate the death of Palestinians. Many, many more simply don't care and will carry out any and all orders given to them by those in charge. Jewish Israel, as a society, doesn't care. I think any attempts to divine the origin of this sentiment and guiding spirit is superfluous at best. I don't think it matters. What matters (to humanity at large, btw) is recognizing the depravity and the criminality of this condition. I don't know if you can imagine "nothing". It is worse than bigotry at its most murderous. It is a rejection of the most basic human urge, to live.
Ben Gvir and Smotrich, for example, don't share this nothingness. They are full to the brim with malevolent glee. The self-styled "liberals" are where this cult of oblivion begins. All Israelis want is for things "to go back to normal". They support a perpetual war because otherwise they will be "destroyed" (remember: nothing or everything are the only options). They want Netanyahu replaced because he is mad, but also because his perpetual war was not successful enough. . Someone will take care of the "security" while Israel's finest will spend years in the reserves, continuing to kill and bomb. Those who are not will hold Summer Wine festivals and talk about flight prices and real estate opportunities. That is all there is to it.
Nothing. The killing can continue unabated. So can the ethnic cleansing. Nothing will stop them. Once again, this is not a request for pity or for lenience. If anything, it is the other way around. Don't look for extenuating circumstances. Don't look for anything. there is nothing there.
Adam Smith is the Israel-bought co-sponsor of Section 219 of the NDAA to merge the US military with Israel.
Kshama Sawant is seeking to unseat him in the dem primary. Let’s give her a hand.
Peaceful international activists were left in shock and terror after Israeli settlers attacked them and Palestinian residents in the village of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah.
The ʿAsʿus family was about to sit down for dinner when they heard gunfire from the street. Everyone rushed to take cover. Two-year-old Layla was sitting in her mother’s lap when a bullet struck her in the head. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The shooters were Israeli soldiers who had were carrying out a raid in a neighboring home in the village of Muthallath a-Shuhada in Jenin District, on 25 January 2025.
Layla is one of 54 children and teens killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 2025. Our new report, Unshielded Childhood, released this week, tells their stories and the circumstances that led to each of their deaths.
Since October 2023, Israel has killed 241 children and teenagers in the West Bank, the highest number of Palestinian minors killed there since the territory was occupied in 1967. This is the result of an Israeli policy that enables and backs the killing of Palestinians, without anyone being held to account.

I sometimes think about how horrifying it would be to be captured alive by the IDF. You know they're going to torture you. You know they're going to rape you. If you're a devout Muslim, killing yourself is off the table. You just have to sit there knowing it's going to happen.
