One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death.

Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

what happened over the past few days is pretty amazing. The Israeli regime knew Nick Kristof was going to publish his NYT piece on their actual systematic rape of Palestinians including children and the use of dogs to rape, so they fabricated a new "report", the most insane one yet copy-pasted together by a proven fraud that repeats all the already debunked falsehoods and relies entirely on known proven hoaxers, and they actually got the NYT, BBC, CNN, AP, Reuters to launder it for them a day after the Kristof piece came out to bury it. They own the entire media class completely.

If this won't make your blood boil, then I don't know what will.

We unfortunately have school shootings in the US.

But imagine if the shooter actually is a US soldier or someone protected by police.

That is what these Palestinian children faced when they were being shot at and killed in their own school by an Israeli soldier or settler.

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip.

The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed.

If you don't listen to Professor Marandi for a perspective on the war, you are missing out. Big picture and moral clarity.

Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date.

Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering.

Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation.

Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough.

Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel.

US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it.

For weeks, Trump has been threatening Iran with obliteration and to take it back to the Stone Age. Amid total silence from Western leaders, journalists, politicians, and elites, he is threatening Iranians with the greatest Holocaust in human history.

Bro 😭

Iranians 🇮🇷 are literally vibing in the nuclear power plant city of Bushehr which Donald Trump has threatened to blow up.

These people fear absolutely nothing 👏

[Fox News @FoxNews]

JUST IN: New video shows crowds locking arms around Iranian power plants, creating HUMAN SHIELDS – a striking scene as Trump's 8p.m. deadline for the Islamic Republic nears.

Iran has rejected the latest terms, raising the stakes with just hours to go.

"Let us leave this Europe, where they are never done speaking of Man, yet murder Man wherever they find him."

The West ends as it began, as a genocidal monstrosity only capable of supremacy and domination, never co-existence with the rest of the world.

Ruled over by unrestrained vampires for centuries, who feed the soul-less body of capital with the lifeblood of the global majority. With the remaining populace of the West watching in stupor, projecting what energy they might have towards joining their vampiric ruling class in villainizing those who dared be sovereign. A disempowered, confused populace more committed to securing its pathetic bag - the wages of whiteness - than sacrificing it in the pursuit of a principled life.

As the last vampire now threatens annihilation of the most righteous, and Western subjects spectate to this genocidal violence yet again, it is the followers of the twelve Imams, those prepared to stand under the Mahdi's banner, who will change the course of history and turn the world, finally after five centuries, right side up.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.

Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

For more than two months, I have received nothing but what you are seeing—this is truly heartbreaking 💔
Many people ignore my family. Take one minute to reflect and do the right thing. My children need you. I swear, my brother, you will not regret it—you may save a family in Gaza from being lost...

Opinion: The only way Israel can govern the Gaza Strip without becoming an external oppressor of “another people” is to remove “the other people” from the confines of the Gaza Strip itself.

Images show what experts say are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran.

Human rights groups have long called to ban land mines because of their propensity to harm or kill civilians, often years after conflicts have ended. https://t.co/XtPJkLT1fp

After killing Ali Shuaib, the IDF accused him of being part of Hezbollah’s Radwan forces, releasing a photo of the Al Manar reporter in military garb.

“Unfortunately there isn’t really a picture of it, it was photoshopped,” the IDF told Fox News about the source of the photo.
