🧵I saw an Aboriginal aunty busking in Newtown last night. She plays the saxophone & it was special.

I listened for 20mins, dropped $50 into her case & said "You remind me of Marlene Cummings, the great blues & Jazz artist from way back."

She looked up, crying: "I am Marlene."

Israel needs to stop detaining, torturing and killing doctors and other medical staff. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya must be released ASAP.

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

New footage has emerged of Assad’s thugs torturing a man to death in the underground wing of Sednaya prison.

Nevermind, it’s just New York prison guards laughing as they beat a prisoner to death. Back to sleep, America.

IDF is now openly acknowledging the 5 journalists they incinerated were indeed operating as journalists, but the IDF believed their work was “combat propaganda.”

The IDF is entitled to its opinion and is free to engage in media criticism, but deliberately killed 5 journalists because you don’t like their work is terrorism, barbarism, a crime against humanity, and should be prosecuted immediately

UNIFIL statement:

This morning, peacekeepers at a position near Kafer Kela observed an IDF Merkava tank firing at their watchtower. Two cameras were destroyed, and the tower was damaged.

Yet again we see direct and apparently deliberate fire on a UNIFIL position.
