Abu Ghraib Shocked the World. Brutalization of Palestinians Barely Inspires a Shrug 🔗https://t.co/Q6eC8ZB2tn

So many parallels to the US' war on terror: accusations of torture, dehumanization of captives, flouting of international law, brutality of occupation. Yet, no one of note was held accountable. Remember the outrage over images from Abu Ghraib? For Palestinians? Silence has been deafening.

Rimal Neighborhood, Gaza city |

Israeli soldier Yosee Gamzoo publish a picture showing him torturing a Palestinian civilian in West Gaza city.

I blurred the gunshot on his leg. He is handcuffed and undressed.

Incredible stuff.

NBA Finals, Game 4.
Spurs 76, Knicks 49.
24 minutes to play.

And then... it happened (again!)

"magic, pure magic"

"Craziest night of my life."

@charlottecrrll caught up with Knicks fans of all ages as they expressed their shock and joy following the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history.

Down bad

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

I have a confession. I didn’t sleep last night.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

SPEECHLESS. LFGK.

[Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie]

Game 4 is just honestly a brutal watch and it's totally because of the way the series has been officiated for the first three games. Now that they've allowed crazy contact everywhere, neither team knows where the line is and officials are having to make adjustments on the fly.

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

I truly can’t believe this call.

[Bad Sports Refs @BadSportsRefs]

Tim Donaghy tells you how NBA playoff officiating works to keep a series going

[Emma Vigeland @EmmaVigeland]

Dolan is lying through his teeth. He is cancelling tonight’s watch party to make it look like Trump wasn’t the reason in game 3. Billionaire nepo baby is prioritizing PR for another billionaire nepo baby over Knicks fans. Just a despicable piece of shit.

[Tommy Beer @TommyBeer]

Dolan was sooooo close…

He had generated positive PR (one of the few times in the two decades he’s wowed the team) by just keeping quiet and letting the Knicks success speak for itself.

But he just couldn’t leave well enough alone.

First, he invites Trump to MSG, which infuriates and inconveniences countless fans.

Now he gets in a pissing contest with the Mayor and police commissioner.

Injecting unnecessary drama, negativity and dissension into what had been an incredibly unifying communal experience

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

Pres Trump just said 200 ships have secretly passed Hormuz since the war began

That’s compared to over 10,000 in the normal 100 days since the war

200 is 2% of the norm

World heading to historic energy crisis

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?

Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

This is one of the most heart-wrenching videos I have ever seen. It shows the immediate aftermath of an Israeli soldier shooting a 7-month old Palesinian baby in the head, stealing his life.

It shows that the car with the Palestinian family had stopped. Yet the Israelis shot.

The father is holding his infant son in his arms as he bleeds to death from the shot to his head. It tears you apart.

This is the daily life of Palestinians under Israel's US-supported occupation.

You never know when you will be shot in the head. It can happen any time, for any reason.

And the world approves.

Lock him up

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to The Post:

“It doesn’t take a seasoned prosecutor to know Wemby crossed the line and is guilty of a flagrant foul.”

[Jonathan Macri @JCMacriNBA]

What a fucking joke the league is.

They’ve always been about their bottom line and will continue to be so, even when the integrity of the sport is at stake.

Cowards.

[Rashed Mian @rashedmian]

Since it was so blatant, Stein refers to this as a foul -- but sure enough, the refs ate the whistle.

[Marc Stein @TheSteinLine]

The NBA, as is customary, will today review Victor Wembanyama’s first-quarter foul on Jalen Brunson to determine whether any additional penalties (such as a retroactive flagrant foul) are assessed.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Headlines you don’t see in U.S. media.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

Just hours ago, Trump said he was gonna call Netanyahu to tell him not to attack lran. “I call all the shots. Netanyahu doesn't,” he says.
And now, Israel just attacked Iran.
So Trump was either blatantly lying to you on behalf of Israel, or he’s letting Israel walk all over him.

[Rashed Mian @rashedmian]

There are no other cities.

I love this city so much
