I visited the first Gaza Holocaust Memorial in the US
Every American city should host the Wall of Tears
We paid for this genocide and should reckon with it for eternity
In loving memory of the children in this video, cold-bloodedly murdered by Israel. They are among the approximately 22000 children Israel has slaughtered in about two year.
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Mohammed Al-Khatib has not spoken his first words yet. He has not even taken his first steps in life or discovered the world around him… The only thing he knew of this world was his mother’s embrace.
Eight days ago, a strike targeted a displacement tent in Khan Younis. His mother was killed at the scene, while Mohammed suffered severe injuries that led to the amputation of his tiny foot, turning his life upside down in a single moment.
Today, his cries and tears remain a witness to a tragedy far greater than his age—a childhood that began with pain before ever knowing safety or the meaning of life. 💔🇵🇸
We document… because the truth never dies.
@Afinetheorem@ryancbriggs This (Briggs' view) wasn't my impression at all, until the Roth paper with JM manipulation came out. In the twitter discussion at least, I saw a lot of deference along hierarchical lines. (This is not an observation about the substance, though I thought the paper was a disgrace.)
A diabolical act. But rape is too light a word to describe what happened. ( not to make light of the act of rape here) But this poor soul was the victim of the most heinous and barbaric slow gruesome death. Think Vlad the Impaler! That was what killed this man. Inserting an Iron rod through the rectum and forcing it upwards until it pierced through his bowls. He even had a punctured lung. The barbarity of such an act is beyond sadism and this brave soul who suffered such a horrendous fate inside this torture camp is not the only person to have done so.
Yeah, your job was not to interview the perpetrator, your job was to find his victims and ask them about what happened so Jonathan can be brought to justice. What is this “I feel bad about my war crimes” discourse ffs
This will ruin your day, perhaps your summer, or even the rest of your life.
But you need to listen to it. You need to know the crimes that are done in your name and with your tax money.
A British surgeon in Gaza testifies that Israeli soldiers used Palestinian children as target practice. One day, they would shoot the children in the testicles, and on other days, in their necks.
They were practicing their shooting on children.
A few months ago I was sitting on a bench in Tel Aviv with a colleague, and an older Israeli man came up to us and asked if he can sit with us. We said yes, so he asked what we were working on. We said we're making a film about the West Bank.
"What do you think about the Arabs?", he asked. Instead of answering, I asked what he thought.
"A good Arab is a dead Arab", he answered.
This was said 5 minutes into the conversation, to a complete stranger. This is a normal thing to say in Israeli society, even in the hyper-liberal Tel Aviv.
This settler just attacked an actual baby. I know that only statues attacks attract international attention, but maybe we can draw the line at a grown person going after a baby?
While Europe still debates whether to end its Association Agreement with Israel, as if there is much to debate, Israel continues to happily commit war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
This was South Lebanon today.
First, Israel bombed a father and his daughter. Then, when the medical team arrived, they bombed again. A double tap. A war crime.
Designed to maximize civilian casualties. That is, terrorism.
Reminder: Israelis openly called for r&ping a 15-year-old Palestinian child in the dark "with no witnesses & cameras" because she slapped a soldier that invaded her village
This was 9 years ago. Imagine what they do today to Palestinian hostages in those dark dungeons!
Ben is a prominent Israeli journalist. He's even from the anti-Netanyahu camp!
The Israeli "Civil Commission" fraud report recycled an allegation of Hamas sexual violence that was denounced as false by the Israeli victim's family.
The NY Times centered its infamous 2024 "Screams Without Words" report on an Israeli woman named Gal Abdush, claiming a photo of her corpse proved she'd been sexually assaulted by Hamas militants.
After the report appeared, members of the Abdush family denounced the Times on social media, declared that she had not been violated and that the paper had misled them about the nature of its article.
Abdush had apparently been killed by an Israeli missile due to the IDF's invocation of the Hannibal Directive, and was displaying symptoms of rigor mortis when she was found beside her badly damaged car.
The so-called Civil Commission was so desperate to fill space in its report that it recycled the discredited story of Abdush, but removed her name, and omitted her family's condemnation of the NY Times' false and exploitative characterization of her death.
Below is the passage and footnote from the bunk Civil Commission report which refers to Abdush.
Inhumanity rarely targets humans alone.
In a Palestinian village, an Israeli settler appears to be beating a dog to death with a club.
Ethnically cleansing the Palestinians appears not to be enough. (Perhaps this will upset those who were unmoved by the genocide itself...)
Africa’s greatest leader was murdered just 10 days before his 36th birthday.
The CIA sent the poison. Belgium sent the firing squad. Then they dissolved his body in acid so there would be no grave, no ashes, no place for his people to mourn. 🇨🇩💔
His name was Patrice Lumumba.
And his only crime was believing that the Congo belonged to the Congolese.
On Independence Day, Lumumba stood before his people and declared:
“We are going to make of the Congo the centre of the sun’s radiance for all of Africa.”
Six months later, he was dead.
Here is how they silenced him:
🔸 In August 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorised the CIA to eliminate Lumumba. CIA chemist Sidney Gottlieb personally carried poison to the Congo to place in his food or on his toothbrush.
🔸 His closest ally, Colonel Mobutu Sese Seko, became the CIA’s principal agent — paid to betray the very man who trusted him.
🔸 On January 17, 1961, Lumumba was tortured, beaten, humiliated, and handed over to a Belgian-backed firing squad.
🔸 Belgian officers cut his body into pieces and dissolved his remains in sulphuric acid. Patrice Lumumba has no grave. No tomb. No resting place.
🔸 Before they killed him, they forced him to swallow the paper containing his Independence Day speech — as if they could erase his words by forcing him to eat them.
🔸 The CIA then installed Mobutu, who ruled the Congo for 32 years while foreign powers looted its diamonds, gold, copper, and cobalt as millions suffered in poverty.
🔸 Years later, CIA Director Allen Dulles admitted: “I think we overrated the Soviet danger in the Congo.”
They destroyed a man. They destroyed a nation. And they did it over a lie.
Today, the Congo holds some of the world’s largest reserves of cobalt — the mineral that powers smartphones, laptops, and electric cars across the globe. Yet its people remain among the poorest on Earth.
That is not an accident.
That is exploitation disguised as geopolitics. 🌍
Patrice Lumumba dreamed of an Africa that controlled its own wealth, wrote its own destiny, and bowed to no empire.
They killed the man, but they could not kill the dream.
If Lumumba had lived… what would Africa look like today?

BREAKING! US court ha suspended the US sanctions against me!
As the judge says: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest".
Thanks to my daughter and my husband for stepping up to defend me, and everyone who has helped so far.
Together we are One.
Imagine these were two blindfolded Israeli women.
Imagine Hamas militants had taken this picture.
Imagine those women had then disappeared.
Imagine the deafening outrage and denunciations of Hamas’ evil.
So where is the deafening outrage here?
Spain’s national TV giving 40 minutes of coverage to the flotilla members kidnapped in Israel. This is exactly the kind of sustained attention European media should give whenever their citizens face human rights violations abroad.
