💢 A breakdown of how the incident in Tel, Nablus unfolded:
The Palestinian man, Farouk Ramadan, initially appears to be trying to protect another Palestinian (likely his brother) when an armed settler hits him in the head with a rifle. (Image 2)
As he moves away, he is kicked or struck from behind. Still, he retreats again. (3)
Israeli settlers or the surrounding soldiers (under whose protection the incursion appears to be taking place), then fire live shots. The sounds of gunshots can be heard clearly in the video. (3)
An armed Israeli settler then charges directly at Ramadan and a fellow Palestinian with a gun raised and pointed at their chest, closing distance between them, as gunshots are heard in the background.
Ramadan disarms him, takes the rifle, and aims at the settler, and purportedly shoots him dead. (1)
On the sequence visible in the footage, it is clear he is acting in self-defense against an imminent armed threat than the “terrorist attack” senior Israeli officials are calling it and using to justify pogroms in Palestinian villages.
Five Palestinians were ultimately killed in the broader settler and Israeli military forces attack in this incident. Dozens more have been wounded and property damaged since.
BreakThrough News is under attack
Republican lawmakers are claiming our political views and @BTnewsroom reporting are part of some foreign plot.
The MAGA-dominated House Ways and Means Committee has issued us a subpoena – demanding internal communications, financial records and more. This is a flagrant abuse of power, and a direct attack on our work as journalists and on the First Amendment generally.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.
The US State Department has published a 100-page report accusing Cuba of waging a revolution “against Western civilization itself.”
The US is waging a coordinated propaganda campaign against Cuba for three reasons:
1) To deflect from the fact that the US has been strangling Cuba to death for decades with a trade embargo and sanctions.
2) To deflect from what is happening in the US, where capitalism is failing to meet the needs of its own people while the rich get richer.
3) To manufacture consent to invade Cuba so the US can attempt to seize and privatize Cuba’s industries and resources in order to further enrich the US billionaire class.
If the US really wanted to help Cuba, it would lift the embargo instead of peddling propaganda and threatening an invasion, as Trump has done several times now.

IT GOES ON LIKE THIS EVERY DAY OF EVERY YEAR AS FAR BACK AS YOU LOOK
🚨 White House press release: “far-left extremism will be treated with the same seriousness and ferocity the world has long reserved for jihadist terrorism.”
Wildfires raging in Canadian forests, a food system that poisons its own supply chain, and a war grinding on in Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine look like separate headlines.
But they're manifestations of the same capitalist colonial greed—a system that treats the planet and life (both human and non-human) as profit to be extracted, not life to be protected.
The wildfires burn hotter and longer because the fossil fuel industry spent decades funding disinformation and lobbying against climate regulation, buying just enough delay to keep extracting profit while the atmosphere destabilized.
The parasite outbreak in our produce isn't bad luck — it's what happens when factory farming and industrial agriculture prioritize yield and margin over soil health, water safety, and worker conditions, and when regulatory agencies are starved of funding or captured by the industries they're supposed to police.
And the war grinding on abroad isn't just politics — it's also profit, linked hand in hand with greedy zionist colonial expansion.
War, like wildfire, like tainted lettuce, is a business line.
None of this is coincidence. It's what happens when decision-making power concentrates in the hands of unscrupulous individuals who are drive solely by self-interest, self-enrichment, and tribal supremacy; people whose loyalty is not to the public, the planet, or the future.
The billionaire class isn't a passive bystander to these crises. They're the authors of the policy environment that makes them worse, because destabilization is cheaper to cause than to prevent, and the costs land on everyone except the people making the decisions.
Those aren't just trees burning, but entire lives of entire nations—whole species who were already endangered by an insatiable capitalist greed slowly devouring us all.
Genuinely hilarious that anyone thinks you’d have to go out of your way to encounter settler terrorists in the occupied West Bank. You people have no fucking clue what’s going on over here. None
truly just inject this into my veins - and this is the line of questioning and accountability, from Scahill, you get when you’re not vested in the Democratic Party and support Palestinian resistance to U.S.-backed Israeli extermination. Not that PR fluff.
Trump just shrunk Bears Ears by 91% and Grand Staircase-Escalante by 90%. Bears Ears was the first national monument co-managed by tribes. Five tribes spent years building that partnership. It's been walked back. 100,000+ archeological sites now exposed to mining and drilling.
If armed Palestinians had detained Ro Khanna in Palestine—they would’ve been shot dead by Apartheid Israel forces.
If armed Jews detain Ro Khanna in Palestine—they would be—& indeed were—protected by Apartheid Israel forces.
Not so complicated after all. It’s called Apartheid.
@RachelBitecofer Now everyone can see how you feel about palestinians. By dehumanizing others you dehumanize yourself
Through my lawsuit against the gov, we're getting internal documents about my arrest. Here's one: a State Department-commissioned 'social media review', conducted after the arrest. Their big finding? I talk about 'share' a lot and have an above average number of followers. This is what they spent your taxpayer money on.
🚨URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him.
🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness.
🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment.
🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he told his lawyer. “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.”
🔹PHRI notes the escalation in torture began directly after Abu Safiya challenged his detention in court. He has been held without charge since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law.
🔹The group has appealed to Israel’s attorney general and prison service demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination, and an urgent judicial visit “before it is too late.”

@AVindman Liar liar genocide denier
I wasn’t foolish enough to expect a major reaction, but it’s still shocking to see such a muted response to a UN report that says the Gaza Genocide continues.
Palestinians are so dehumanized that Israel can deliberately kill CHILDREN without sparking global outrage or action.
