Important: Max Hastings overhearing the young Benjamin Netanyahu dreaming of a war when, "if we get it right, we'll have a chance to get all the Arabs out... We can clear the West Bank and sort out Jerusalem." This is the plan of the Israeli right for a new Nakba that Trump has now endorsed.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

As an Israeli who grew up in a stolen Palestinian home, I fully support the right of return. The mere idea that Palestinians should be kept from their homeland because of their ethnicity while any Jew is allowed in is racist and abhorrent. Let Palestinians return home.

David Pocock pauses, overcome with emotion, while detailing UN’s horrific findings against Israel
“IDF has now killed 20,000 Palestinian children”
“…deliberately shot at children’s limbs…as a twisted game of target practice”😔
Barbaric & sickening. This is our ally?

[Alex Jones @RealAlexJones]

Israel just carried out what experts say is one of the largest single warhead explosions in modern military history, destroying a village in south Lebanon under the rubric of demolishing tunnels. The massive blast registered on seismic monitors and was heard in Israel..

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Yet Palestinians—who lived in Palestine for millennia and still hold the keys to the homes they were violently expelled from—are denied the right to return home.

[Alex Crawford @AlexCrawfordSky]

The UN inquiry’s findings that genocide is being carried out by Israeli authorities and security forces in Gaza - as well as crimes against humanity and war crimes - and additionally war crimes in the occupied West Bank - is due to what the inquiry found was the deliberate targeting of children - and it is horrifying reading. The details of the targeting are chilling. Children. Killed. Wounded. Tortured. Starved. Raped. On a mass scale

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

The Independent Int'l Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory presents new report to the UN Human Rights Council.

"The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted & killed by the Israeli security forces."

Palestinian activist Abdullah Shatat collapsed moments after his release from an Israeli jail, where he was held 32 months without charge or trial. He says prisoners are starved, tortured and denied treatment as thousands of Palestinians remain jailed.

This is an extremely bad look for Mark Zuckerberg and Meta. Netanyahu and the Israeli government ordered Zuck to remove anti-Israel and pro-Iran posts — and like a Zionist cuck, he did.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

Find time to read this quite astonishingly good piece by
@ArwaM Mahdawi. Brilliant on our government's appalling moral confusion over Gaza

"Why is Hasan Piker ‘not conducive to the public good’? Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime"

A Lebanese Christian girl killed by Israel, just out of bloodthirst. Vicious criminals.

I can’t see you how you can possibly avoid using the term ethnic cleansing, without losing your last remaining shreds of integrity as a journalist, Adam.

Lebanon's internal displacement rate is now 22.6 percent — more than one in five of its people. Over 1.2 million people, including 350,000 children, have been forced from their homes, with the IDF launching more than 1,840 attacks on Lebanon since March 2, killing more than 1,497 people and injuring more than 4,639.

Moreover, the language used by Israel Katz to describe his aims in Southern Lebanon is extraordinarily explicit and self-incriminating. He has confirmed that Israel's military would establish a permanent "security zone" inside Lebanon up to the Litani River, that hundreds of thousands of displaced residents would be "completely prevented" from returning, and that "all the houses in the villages adjacent to the border in Lebanon will be demolished in accordance with the Rafah and Beit Hanoun model in Gaza."

The targeting of civilians for displacement specifically identified by their religion (Shia), combined with the destruction of their homes to prevent return, combined with the explicit statement that they will not be permitted to return — these are precisely the elements that international law identifies as forcible transfer and ethnic cleansing. Human Rights Watch has said that "the displacement of the Shia population looks less like a temporary military necessity and more like a move to permanently displace the civilian population based on their religion."

Its not complex, Adam. You just haven't got the balls to say it straight, and that failure makes your reportage worse than worthless. It makes it morally bankrupt.

Flotilla participants are arriving at Istanbul airport. This is what Israel military and prison personnel did to them.

[Giorgia Meloni @GiorgiaMeloni]

Le immagini del ministro israeliano Ben Gvir sono inaccettabili. È inammissibile che questi manifestanti, fra cui molti cittadini italiani, vengano sottoposti a questo trattamento lesivo della dignità della persona.
Il Governo italiano sta immediatamente compiendo, ai più alti livelli istituzionali, tutti i passi necessari per ottenere la liberazione immediata dei cittadini italiani coinvolti.
L’Italia pretende inoltre le scuse per il trattamento riservato a questi manifestanti e per il totale disprezzo dimostrato nei confronti delle esplicite richieste del Governo italiano.
Per questi motivi, il Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale convocherà immediatamente l’ambasciatore israeliano per chiedere chiarimenti formali su quanto accaduto.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Maximum alert on the Flotilla!

Israel has been given license to threaten, kidnap and shoot at civilians ALSO in int'l waters!

Welcome to Apartheid without Borders - soon to be Apartheid Mediterranean Consortium.

Shame on the EU, its main enabler in this part of the world.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

One of the most shocking videos ever shared on the internet..

Moments documenting hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza being forced at gunpoint to leave their homes during the war, before their houses were destroyed before their eyes.

Painful scenes the world should never forget, no matter how much time passes.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

This to me is the most anachronistic thing: judges being openly intimidated by a state.
The year is 2026, not 1726, not 726, not 26 AD, not 326 BC.

[Jeremy Diamond @JDiamond1]

I barely recognized the journalist Ali al-Samoudi when I saw him this week. He had been imprisoned by Israel — without charge and without a trial — for a year, during which time he lost half his body weight.
He is one of 105 Palestinian journalists who have been imprisoned by Israel since October 7, 2023 — most without charge, according to @pressfreedom.

Smotrich: 'My son wants me to leave some Lebanon for him to destroy later. I told him don't worry, there will be enough for everyone.'
