Israeli occupation bulldozers storm the village of Qilqis, south of occupied Hebron, apparently ahead of carrying out new demolitions targeting Palestinian homes in the area.
🎥 ‘They were science students.’
A witness describes the aftermath of an Israeli strike that targeted two vehicles on one of Gaza City’s busiest commercial streets, killing high school student Raghad Ashour as she was on her way to her graduation exams on Monday.
Osama Shehada says the street was filled with students when “three or four missiles” struck.
“Nine children were walking here a minute before the strike,” he says. “Their mothers told them, ‘Good morning, may God be pleased with you, go to school.’ They returned to them dead.”
“You treat us like animals,” he says. “Then create an animal welfare society and protect us… there is no safe place.”
“They strike hospitals. They strike schools. They strike us everywhere… Protect us. Have mercy on us. Enough is enough.”

Why is it so common for Israeli analysts to constantly predict that they will have war with their neighbours, including the ones with whom they have peace agreements?
It may only last 60 days (I doubt it; likely would become permanent), but the US Treasury’s waiver is effectively rolling back 40-year plus of American oil sanctions against Iran.
Even US refiners are allowed to import Iranian oil and pay for it in greenback!!!
The Palestinian Prisoner Club called Monday for urgent international intervention to release three pregnant Palestinian women detained in Damoun prison: Amineh Al-Taweel (4 months, Qalqilya), Dana Joudeh (5 months, Nablus), and Manar Ibrahim (4 months, Ramallah).
All three are held without special medical care, subjected to forced strip searches and systematic abuse.

If someone had told me -- even just 5 years ago -- that there'd be a collapse of support among Americans for Israel this radical, I wouldn't have believed it.
Drastic, rapid changes in public perception like this are possible only with internet freedom and independent media:
Iran single-handedly put an end to the horrors in Lebanon, when the whole world would do nothing. For this alone, Iran deserves all the blessings and good fortunes under the sun. They tower above an entire international landscape of cowardice and complicity
The US empire is waging a neocolonial assault all across Latin America.
The US blatantly meddled in Colombia's election. Trump and Marco Rubio backed the far-right, multimillionaire candidate Abelardo de la Espriella (a defender of fascist paramilitaries), and there are serious irregularities in the results.
Colombia's current left-wing President Gustavo Petro has been very pro-Palestine and pro-China. He cut relations with the genocidal Israeli regime and joined China's Belt and Road Initiative.
De la Espriella vows to form a close alliance with the US and Israel, and minimize relations with China. Just a few weeks before the elections, he was in Florida, meeting with far-right US politicians who are close allies of Trump and Rubio.
The same thing is happening across the continent. The US carried out a blatant electoral coup in Honduras, to put a drug cartel-linked, pro-US, pro-Israel, anti-China puppet in power.
The US is currently trying to steal the election in Peru, to put the daughter of the fascist former dictator in power.
The US empire already has far-right puppets in power in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. The leader of Chile is the Pinochet-defending son of a Nazi war criminal. The dictator of Ecuador is the son of the country's richest billionaire oligarch.
Brazil is the next target of the US empire's neocolonial assault, in this year's election.
This is the colonial Monroe Doctrine in the neo-fascist era.
“We can’t tell the world what you’re doing here… everyone back at home is relying on you…”
Keir Starmer in 2024 at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, the base for UK surveillance flights that flew over Gaza and assisted Israel’s crimes.
His legacy is facilitating genocide.
Look at this Israeli brutality: a location is targeted, and as soon as civilians and ambulance crews rush in to rescue the wounded and recover the bodies of the martyrs, the site is bombed again. This constitutes a direct attack on those trying to save lives. Such actions are, in themselves, a crime.
🚨Gaza this morning, moments ago
Israel is still committing genocide in Gaza‼️
Israel is still committing genocide in Gaza‼️
Israel is still committing genocide in Gaza‼️
Israel is still committing genocide in Gaza‼️

Starmer calling Corbyn's Labour morally bankrupt in his resignation speech — from a man who defended collective punishment in Gaza, fed intelligence to Israeli génocidaires, and had activists trying to stop it arrested as terrorists. Not a decent man. An indecent sociopath.
