Horrifying testimony of Australian woman raped by the IOF:
'They wrenched my trousers and underwear down and it felt like I was inserted with a hand..it wasn't a gun...other people had guns inserted inside them.'

The rising hatred of Muslims has been deliberately fomented by Israel and its supporters.
Last year Drop Site News published a leaked polling report commissioned by the Israeli government which found that Israel's crumbling reputation can be salvaged by spreading fear of Islam.
Drop Site reports the following:
“Israel’s best tactic to combat this, according to the study, is to foment fear of ‘Radical Islam’ and ‘Jihadism,’ which remain high, the research finds. By highlighting Israeli support for women’s rights and gay rights while elevating concerns that Hamas wants to ‘destroy all Jews and spread Jihadism,’ Israeli support rebounded by an average of over 20 points in each country. ‘Especially once the situation in Gaza is resolved, the room for growth in all countries is very significant,’ the report concludes.”
That's why whenever you post something critical of Israel on a public forum you'll get hasbarists in your replies going "But what about MUSLIMS? Muslims are bad!" There's no natural reason for this to be happening — Islam and Israel are not opposites, and the mention of one has no inherent bearing on the other. It's an artificially manufactured false dichotomy that's been forcefully promoted by Israel apologists.
BREAKING: This brave #Muslim gave his life stopping terrorists from reaching children at an Islamic school and mosque in San Diego. May Allah accept him as a Shaheed, forgive his sins, raise his ranks, and grant him Jannatul Firdaus #SanDiego#Mosque#Islam#Muslim#Hero#Attack
We also lost Abu el Ezz. He gave me my first prayer rug, hijab and prayer beads 📿 on the day I took my shahada.
Ya Rabb make his grave spacious, well lit, give him a place in the shade of your throne and forgive his sins to protect him from the hell fire. Ameen
One of my good friend’s fathers was one of the victims in the San Diego shooting. Please keep every life lost & family affected in your duaas tonight. This world can be cruel. These were deeply loved people taken in an act of hatred & Islamophobia. May Allah grant them Jannah
Amin Abdullah.
He stood his ground so others could make it home safely.
When gunmen opened fire outside the Islamic Center of San Diego, Amin protected the community until his final moments. Police say his actions prevented the attack from becoming far worse.
Support Amin’s family with funeral costs, immediate household needs, education for his children, and long term financial stability.
May Allah accept him amongst the martyrs and grant patience to his loved ones. 🤲

Amin Abdullah was the guard at the mosque in San Diego for years.
He was key in stopping the shooters from reaching the children today.
This was his final post on Facebook.
On this third year anniversary of the war in Sudan we woke up to the devastating news that our friend and comrade Muzan Al Neel has passed away. She was a brilliant revolutionary thinker, writer and organizer and a wonderful human.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
La cruauté d’Israël n’a aucune limite.
Israël a bombardé les funérailles d’un homme qu’elle avait tué, tuant a son tour sa petite fille qui assistait aux funérailles de son père (et six autres enfants).
Cet État représente les pires cauchemars qu’on aurait jamais cru voir de notre vivant !
Sexual violence against Palestinians in Israeli prisons and detention centers constitutes a de facto state policy, used as a tool of subjugation and destruction, with a sharp escalation since October 7, 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor found in a new report titled “Another Genocide Behind Walls.”
The report documents direct sexual assault, rape and assault with objects, and torture targeting genitals, as well as organized practices including filming and the collective presence of security personnel during assaults — evidence the report says points to the institutional and systematic nature of the crimes.
The Young Turks’ Ana Kasparian reported some of the details. More details in linked thread. 🧵
The difference between the two photos is that the Vogue cover is an editorial, meaning the photographer made the conscious choice to curate a racist caricature of a black man, whereas the Israeli settler simply Just Looks Like That.
This whole controversy around the L’Espresso cover is reminding me how much I held my tongue as a teenager, afraid that I would sound crazy if I repeated what I saw settlers doing. For example, one of the Jewish settlers who lived in the stolen half (yes, half) of our house in Jerusalem would repeatedly do unspeakable, perverted things to a German Shepherd they kept in the house. Whenever international activists came to visit, I'd tell them that the settlers beat the dog, which was true, but I often omitted the part about the sexual abuse--something about naming it outright made me feel dirty, as if complicit (I was also very young) until one day the settler did it while two European activists were present. He most likely wanted to be watched. A couple days later, there was a graffiti on our wall that said something like "settlers are very, very strange people."
The way Israeli settlers are depicted in the media is, in fact, very often understated. I assume people worry about coming across as conspiratorial or bigoted, so they often hesitate to report the full extent of such depravity. But at the end of the day, it is really not our problem that many Jewish settlers are quite frankly caricatures of themselves.
The Deir Yassin massacre was carried out by Jewish paramilitaries just weeks before Israel was established. A reminder that the foundation of lsrael was built on the graves of the Palestinians.
🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Mohammed Samir Washah has been killed in Gaza following an Israeli drone strike on his car at Al-Nabulsi roundabout, west of Gaza City. Footage shared from the scene by Drop Site contributor Mohammed Ahmed shows the vehicle engulfed in flames, indicating a direct hit.
Gaza’s Government Media Office condemned the killing, stating that the number of Palestinian journalists killed by Israel has risen to 262 since the start of the genocide in Gaza. The Office called on the international community to “condemn the crimes of the occupation, deter it, and pursue it in international courts for its ongoing crimes.”
There were no ‘targets’ - these are residential buildings and hundreds have been reportedly killed. This is what Israel has been doing in Gaza and in Lebanon for the past three years: targeting civilian infrastructure in order to enact mass casualties, chaos and destabilization.
Egyptian programmer Badr El-Khamisy launched a digital initiative to honor every Palestinian who has been killed in Gaza
