There’s this bizarre tendency by Zionists to claim that a literal cabinet minister does not represent Israel’s government, while actions by random Palestinians define the entire Palestinian nation. Funny how that works

Israel is running a network of torture camps for Palestinians. Our reports, Welcome to Hell and Hell on Earth, extensively documented a reality of extreme violence, starvation, and torture.

Now, in a major @nytimes investigation, journalist @NickKristof published terrible testimonies concerning sexual violence and the use of sodomy as a tool of interrogation and humiliation by Israeli forces.

Palestinian prisoners are subjected to severe violence, deliberate humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical care, and abuse in every facility where they are held.

These abusive practices are fully backed by the political leadership, which openly boasts about the harsh prison conditions. Some inmates are subjected to severe sexual assaults.

At least 88 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention facilities since October 2023 as a result of inhumane conditions, violence, starvation, and the denial of medical treatment.

Despite the extensive evidence, media investigations, and reports issued by Israeli and international organizations documenting torture in Israeli prisons, the international community continues to stand by and allow Israel to commit crimes against the Palestinian people.

Neil Postman, writing and speaking before his passing in 2003, identified what he regarded as modernity's greatest crime: the systematic destruction of childhood.

He observed that society had begun raising not children, but miniature consumers—children whose natural imagination was being steadily replaced by external stimuli. Noisy, pre-programmed plastic toys that captivated briefly then bored them. Screens that offered constant engagement but left no room for inner invention. Overprotective adults who supervised every step, preventing children from building unsupervised worlds of their own.

The consequence, Postman warned, was profound: a generation arriving at adolescence with almost no internal resources, dependent on outside excitement, and then rebelling—often destructively—as they belatedly tried to create the autonomy and meaning that should have been nurtured much earlier.

He emphasized that childhood was never merely a biological phase; it was a cultural achievement—one that consumer culture and accelerating media saturation were actively dismantling.

His call, delivered decades ago, was both simple and radical: reclaim childhood. Protect the slow unfolding of imagination. Reduce the flood of ready-made stimulation. Allow children space to daydream, explore, fail, and invent without constant adult oversight or digital pacification.

Looking back from 2026, many now reflect that Postman foresaw—with unsettling precision—the trajectory we would follow. The average screen time of young children has only increased, unstructured play has continued to decline, and the mental health challenges among adolescents have grown more visible.

Yet his diagnosis still resonates because it points to something recoverable: the possibility of choosing differently, even now.

Do you believe we have already lost too much of what he called childhood—or do you see meaningful ways, in families and communities, to still reclaim it?

Trump and Netanyahu killed every child in this photo.

Every. Single. One.

Not combatants.
Not militants.

Schoolkids from Minab, Iran.

[☫ Iran Embassy in The Hague, The Netherlands @IRAN_in_NL]

Netanyahu in English: “We are seeking to liberate the Iranian people.”
Netanyahu in Hebrew: “Today, Iranians are Amalek.”

According to Chapter 25 of the Book of Deuteronomy, the Israelites are commanded to kill all Amalekites, even their women and children.

[Transfer News Live @DeadlineDayLive]

🇩🇪 German referee Patrick Ittrich has proposed a number of potential rule changes in football:

1️⃣ For a tactical foul in midfield, award a free-kick 17 metres from goal. How many of those fouls would we see after that?

2️⃣ If a player rolls around three times and calls for a doctor, bring one on — then make him wait on the touchline for three minutes. How fast do you think he’d get back up?

3️⃣ If a player verbally abuses the referee, send him off for 10 minutes to cool down. Go for a quick cycle to stay warm before returning. There’s something to learn from handball there.

4️⃣ Why is a referee being surrounded by 10 players after a decision? For me, bang, bang, bang — three red cards. Play seven vs ten. That would sort it out.

Do you agree with his changes? 🤔
