We are currently living in a timeline where women can be thrown in jail for having an abortion, but seven men who gang rape a woman only have to write an essay to “think about what they did”.

Today, like every other day, Israel is murdering children simply because they are Palestinians.

Alex Pretti's family on how they found out about his death.

"It was all over the news. We watched it. I was like that's our son. That's Alex and they killed him. No one called us. Watching our son shot 10 times trying to help someone. And being beaten, sprayed with tear gas.

My shock is that he was murdered and no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable and it's been seven months. There was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice."

An Israeli analyst confirms accounts of Palestinians being raped and sexually assaulted using dogs at Israeli detention sites, citing two guards he spoke with at Sde Teiman torture prison.

“One had witnessed it and said it was too awful to describe. The other said he had heard about it from others and believed it was true.” Ben-Ephraim shares documented cases by various human rights groups below.

“This happened. This is still happening. The evidence is overwhelming,” he notes.

⭕️ Israel approves record 34 new West Bank settlements

The Israeli cabinet quietly approved the establishment of an unprecedented 34 new settlements in the occupied West Bank in a meeting two weeks ago, according to the Times of Israel and i24 News—the largest single approval of settlements by any cabinet to date.

The decision brings the total number of new settlements established or retroactively legalized by the current government since it took office in 2022 to 103. By comparison, only six new settlements were formally approved by Israel in the three decades following the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.

The approval was kept under wraps during the war at the request of the United States according to two officials that spoke to Ynet.

All Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank remain illegal under international law.

Sumayya, the daughter of Al Jazeera journalist Mohammad Samir Washah, stood in front of the camera two years ago in an oversized press vest, speaking about her dream of becoming a journalist in Gaza.

Today, she is mourning her father, killed by Israel in a targeted strike on his car.

He leaves behind four children.

💢🇱🇧 Nine people were killed—most from the same family, including women and children—when an Israeli airstrike hit a home in Srifa, in the Tyre district of southern Lebanon, after residents returned overnight following the ceasefire announcement, according to AFP. Four others were wounded.

The Lebanese army had warned civilians not to return south, saying they would be “exposing themselves to ongoing Israeli attacks.” Some returned immediately, relying on statements from Pakistan’s prime minister that the deal would include Lebanon.

Separately, an Israeli drone strike on the Qasmieh road in the same district killed one person, while a second nearby strike killed a Syrian delivery worker, L’Orient Today reported. Quds News also shared an image of another strike targeting an ambulance in the area.

💢🇱🇧 BREAKING | Israel launched 100 strikes across Lebanon in 10 minutes Wednesday afternoon, targeting Beirut, the south, and the Bekaa Valley — hours after a ceasefire was announced and declared “effective immediately” by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

Sounds of ambulances filled the streets of Beirut from 3 PM local time. The Lebanese Red Cross head Georges Kettaneh told LBCI: “The wounded and casualties are numerous. We are doing everything we can to save them.” Several Beirut hospitals issued urgent blood donation appeals.

Neighborhoods struck in Beirut without prior warning included Salim Slem, Borj Abi Haidar, Corniche al-Mazraa, Bashoura, and the southern suburbs. Kaifoun and Bshamoun, east of Beirut, were also hit, according to L’Orient Today.

Across southern Lebanon, the cities of Tyre, Sidon, and Nabatieh were struck alongside villages including Adloun, Bazourieh, al-Abbassieh, Zefta, Sir al-Gharbieh, Ansar, and Ain Baal. In Sidon, a strike on the al-Zahraa complex wounded Al Manar correspondent Amin Shumer.

In the eastern Bekaa Valley, strikes hit Baalbek and villages including Hermel, Shemstar, al-Karak, al-Ferzel, Boudai, and Sohmor. Several people were wounded in Hermel. Two people were killed when a truck was struck between Hasbaya and Maymas.

The Amal Movement confirmed six people killed in an earlier strike on Srifa, a village in southern Lebanon near the coastal city of Tyre.

In Mansouri — another southern village along the Mediterranean coast — 13 residents, including the village mukhtar, lost contact after returning home following the ceasefire announcement, as the town came under repeated shelling.

Netanyahu has stated the ceasefire does not cover Lebanon, even as Hezbollah halted fire on northern Israel and invading ground troops, according to Reuters. Drop Site correspondent Lylla Younes reported warplanes back in the sky over Beirut at 8 AM local time, with ambulances running nonstop and people screaming in the streets.

Saying "Rabid Ultra Zionist Pigs" is NOT antisemitic. My perspective as a certified jew who's been raised Jewish, been bar mitzvah'd, and enjoys the occasional Matzah with horseradish:

The whole entire reason the ADL exists these days is to conflate Zionism with Judaism in an effort to make it more difficult to criticize Israel and it's genocidal actions. Doing so under their propagandized concept of what it means to be a Jew makes it so you can label anti Zionists as antisemites. Directly from the ADL website under the "ADL and Israel" section, they claim that distortions and activism that delegitimize Israel are antisemitic.

Every single day I went to hebrew school when I was brought up, Israel was shoved down our throats as this Jewish utopia that can do no wrong and only wants peace. But they don't tell us about the nakbah. They don't give any account of Palestinians living in the Lavant before 1948. They didn't teach us about ANY of Zionism's misgivings and just swept them under the rug. Then they parade you around Israel on a birthright trip to make you feel a deep connection between being Jewish and being in this place. They bring you to the literal border with Gaza to show you who your enemies are and stage some weak presentation in the west bank to show you how "peaceful" we are with Palestinians on the other side of a legit apartheid wall.

It took meeting real Palestinians with real life experience and comparing those stories to the actual video evidence you see of apartheid and genocide to absolutely lose any respect for Zionism and the entire project it is attempting to realize. If criticizing Zionism for genocide and Zionists for their lack of ability to open their fucking eyes to what they represent makes you antisemitic, then what am I? I grew up celebrating rosh hashanah, yom kippur, sukkot, hanukkah, purim, passover, the lot. Still do for some of these even in my 30s. I still feel a very cultural, ethnic, and believe it or not even sometimes spiritual connection with Judaism as it is a deep seated part of who I am. And Zionism makes me sick. Am I an antisemite? Watch all the comments that call me a self hating jew. Watch all these "no true scotsman" people try to delegitimize me and my experience as a Jew all because I don't support a genocidal ideology.

Fuck twitch and Dan Clancy for bending the knee to the ADL. Criticizing people who accept this conflation of concepts without using their own eyes and brains is fair and legitimate.

This father was doing all of his legal immigration check-ins and had no criminal record.

He’s one of those heroic parents who dedicated his life to taking care of his disabled son, whom he was told would not live past five without a miracle.

As his son said, his father was his miracle, and he lived a meaningful, well loved life deep into adulthood. Then ICE snatched his father — and his son, as predicted, died without him. ICE did not let him attend the funeral.

🔴 Israel killed up to 15 people in Gaza yesterday, including women and children, wiping out entire families. The pretext was an alleged clash with fighters in western Rafah two days ago.

What’s likely happening is a familiar pattern. Israeli and American forces conduct constant surveillance, identify where “targets” live, then manufacture a trigger to eliminate them.

Fighters in Rafah, east of the yellow line, are trapped and denied any negotiated exit. When Israeli forces move in and open fire, return fire is framed as a “violation,” which is then used to justify wider strikes across Gaza, including assassinations of senior Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad commanders along with their family members.

Follow the thread below for the sequence Israel itself laid out for the killings it carried out yesterday: 🧵

Thanks for the invitation to criticize you and your fellow administration of Pedophile Rapists. What a sorry excuse for a father, husband, vice-president, Human, and Mammal.

YouTube deleted all my coverage of Israeli soldiers shooting civilians, including children targeted on a live stream, along with my entire account.

No community guidelines violated & 3 separate excuses given to me. Then Google deleted my email & won’t respond to appeals.
