The same people defending a greater Israel today would have defended British imperialism over a quarter of the world and French colonialism across a third of Africa. The language changes. The flags change. But the racism, dehumanization, and belief that some lives matter less remain the same. Israel embodies it all.
An angry British woman over television channels' bias against Palestinian children
"Among the news they do not want you to see: an 18-month-old child was tortured for 10 hours with cigarettes and nails by the Israeli army, which receives standing ovations in our parliaments. This is what they do not want you to see."
Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem told Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo that the world is increasingly rallying behind Palestine as Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza have become impossible to ignore.
Bardem argued that the growing worldwide support for Palestine is a direct response to the atrocities witnessed in Gaza and the West Bank, saying that "anybody with minimal common sense understands that that is wrong."
Discussing the political backdrop to the Spain–Argentina World Cup final, he also criticised Argentine President Javier Milei for openly aligning himself with Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right Israeli leaders, saying it was unfair to present Argentina as represented by those figures.
Bardem stressed that Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and the Israeli cabinet do not represent Jewish people and warned against antisemitism, while insisting that criticism of the Israeli government is both legitimate and necessary.
The actor said younger generations are driving a historic shift in public opinion because they are witnessing Israel's actions in real time and are increasingly demanding accountability, justice, and an end to the impunity enjoyed by Israel's leadership on the world stage.
🚨A new sole survivor in Gaza: Child Ayham Nasman.
Today, Israel killed his parents and siblings in an airstrike on their apartment in Gaza City’s Al-Nasr neighborhood.
He survived only because he had gone to the market when the strike hit.
@GBC_Press Spanish Prime Minister - handsome, brilliant, intelligent, couragous and most importantly, he's a "human". He embodies empathy, sympathy and humility.
🇬🇧 The British singer who converted to Islam, Yusuf Islam, was quite a media sensation when he came to Turkey. A reporter asked him a question about marriage. Yusuf Islam's response left the reporter dumbfounded.
A reporter asked the British singer: "What do you say about the fact that in the Islamic faith you entered, a man can marry four women? I mean, how do you accept the logic of that? As a Western, enlightened singer, how did you accept this?"
Yusuf Islam says:
"You're saying you knew me in my former state. I can't even know how many women I was with before I became Muslim. I can't know if I even had children from them. You admired me while I was living such a low, sordid life. Now I've become Muslim. I'm married to one wife. I have no intention of a second marriage either. If the Islamic faith allows up to four, it also places the responsibility for them and their children on him. In the West that you admired, there's no such responsibility. Many children don't even know their fathers. And the father leaves this world without ever seeing his child."
"Un francotirador israelí disparó en la cabeza a mi hijo de 3 años, fue un disparo directo a la cabeza, la bala le salió por el ojo izquierdo. Mi hijo murió en mis brazos, desangrándose, fue ejecutado".
Un padre palestino cuenta cómo su hijo de 3 años, Rayan, fue asesinado en sus brazos después de que un francotirador sionista le disparase en la cabeza, en el centro de Gaza, mientras caminaban por la calle.
Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.
How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.
🇳🇴🇵🇸 A Norwegian doctor who worked as a volunteer in Gaza speaks about the Palestinian people:
"If you go to Gaza today, the families, even in the tents, will make you a meal."
