Absolutely extraordinary exchange between Israel and China 👇 I've never seen such a heated exchange come out of top-level forum in China (this is from the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that started yesterday), this normally never happens.
The guy speaking is Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, the most prestigious university in China.
Speaking for Israel is a military officer apparently called Elad Shoshan.
Yan Xuetong truly doesn't hold back:
- When the Israeli officer tries to bullshit him around how Israel supposedly protects civilians in Gaza, he replies: "You killed more than 70,000 civilians!... The fact is not decided by you... It is not decided by your government. Your government has no legitimacy or the right to decide or defend what is fact"
- And when told that the war will end when Hamas release hostages he replies: "No, this kind of propaganda have too many. No one believe it! Too many! Too much! No one believe it, except a few Israelis"
Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,
"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"
"Aside from presenting Match of the Day, the most iconic football show for 26 years"
"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"
@GaryLineker Legend 👏
The will of journalist Maryam Abu Daqah:
Gaith, you are your mother’s heart and soul.
I want you to pray for me and not cry over me, so I can remain happy. I want you to make me proud, to succeed, to excel, to stand strong, and to become a capable businessman, my love.
I want you, my dear, never to forget me. I always did everything to make you happy, to keep you joyful and comfortable, and to give you everything.
When you grow up, get married, and have a daughter, name her Maryam after me. You are my love, my heart, my support, my soul, and my son who always makes me proud and brings me joy with his good reputation. I entrust you, Gaith, to your prayers—your prayers, your prayers, my dear.
Your mother, Maryam.
This isn’t Moscow or Beijing. It’s Chicago. Masked federal agents grabbed U.S. citizens protesting ICE and threw them into an unmarked van.
“Who are you? Where are you taking them?” people shouted. “You are kidnapping them!”
What has America become?
FIFA immediately banned Russia from international football after the invasion of Ukraine. In contrast, nearly two years into the Gaza genocide, Israel has yet to be sanctioned by the organization — but this hypocrisy may soon come to an end.

AJ+ spoke to Greta Thunberg as she makes a second attempt to break Israel’s siege of Gaza. The Swedish activist has joined hundreds of others on dozens of boats, as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla to try to reach Gaza.
New Zealand MP Chlöe Swarbrick was ejected from Parliament after demanding action on Gaza and calling out her colleagues for staying silent on Israel’s war crimes.
'Claims that aid is entering the Gaza Strip at scale are not true... It is clear and simple. There is a famine.'
We spoke to Tess Ingram from Unicef, who was on the ground in Dier al-Balah and al-Mawasi, about the worsening conditions in the Gaza Strip.
She refuted claims from Israel that 'there is no famine' after one was declared in Gaza City.
I have one mission in life - to heal the children of Gaza, like Adam, 4, whose parents were killed in a bombing that took his right leg. I will do all I can to help him walk again, heal his traumatized heart, educate his mind, and to give him a chance to be independent and take care of himself. I act out of love and solidarity. 🇵🇸✌🏻☮️
•“The Israel Jewish lobby in Australia is a foreign influence operation. It’s designed to put the interests of israel above the interests of Australia and its foreign policy and no one else has an operation as well FUNDED, no other country has an operation with offices in every Australian capital city. No one else organises donations to attempt to elevate its influence, in the way the Jewish lobby does in Australia. Now this is simply a fact of life. And I had recorded my diaries as the Foreign Minister and they’ve never been contradicted.” – Former Foreign Minister of Australia & Former Premier of NSW, Mr Bob Carr. #IsraelTerroristState #GenocideinPalestine #FreePalestine #auspol
Palestinian woman in the West Bank is arrested by Israeli police under a new terror law that outlaws passive social media use because she shows sympathy to what’s happening in Gaza. She may spend up to 1 year in prison.
Israel is a deeply depraved society.
British Arab doctor was immediately suspended from his job at the Royal Free Hospital in London for talking about Israel’s genocide in Gaza on social media.
Now Nadeem Crowe is speaking out against the silencing and double standards by organizations when it comes to Palestine.
