June 18: 🇺🇸Trump buys up to $500K in Boeing stock. Same day Boeing gets $880M US Navy contract.

June 24: 🇺🇸Trump buys up to $250K in Palantir stock. Same day Palantir gets $45.8M government contract.

In any functioning democracy, this would be called massive corruption and he would have faced at least 2 years in jail.

Hundreds took to the streets of London today to protest a real-estate fair advertising stolen Palestinian land and homes in illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank, denouncing the event for aiding Israel's expansion of settlements.

The British government referred the 'Great Israeli Real Estate Event' for an urgent investigation after brochures and leaflets advertised properties in illegal Israeli settlements, but the UK's Advertising Standards Authority refused to investigate, saying it had not received enough evidence.

Far-right lawmaker Tzvi Succot smashes Palestinian monument in West Bank while guarded by IDF.

Succot confirmed to Haaretz that he participated in the action, saying it was carried out in full coordination with the Israeli military.

Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are not just ‘clashes’ or ‘riots’, but fit the definition of pogroms: organised and often state-backed attacks on a targeted minority.

Al Jazeera’s Zeina Al Qawasmi explains why.

Israel has said that paper kites flown by Palestinian children will be treated as weapons of war.

Read that again.

This is the reality of genocide: the total destruction of innocence, freedom and joy.

End all military cooperation with Israel, now.

🔸 Palestinian boy destroys his kites, fearing they’ll bring Israeli bombs

Muhammad Ahmad al-Mufti, a boy in Gaza whose father was earlier killed by Israeli forces while seeking aid, tore apart the paper kites he had made himself, after hearing Israeli Defense Minister Katz might strike over the kites, Gaza Relief Committee’s Eyad Amawi told Drop Site.

Furious and in tears, he mocked the Israeli leaders he blamed as he destroyed them. “So that Netanyahu is satisfied,” he said. “So that Katz is satisfied. So that Trump is satisfied.”

Minister Katz threatened a “forceful” response to Palestinian kites landing in areas across the border, and said Israel would treat them the same as drones.

“They want to deprive us of the thing we love,” al-Mufti said, breaking down. “I swear my heart is breaking.”

France removed this photo of a football match in Gaza from a sports photography festival under Israeli pressure.

Imagine living in a world where you could get arrested or suspended for saying don't kill children, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.

BREAKING: Israel just bombed a water desalination plant in northern Gaza.

Not a military base.
An essential infrastructure built to provide water to civilians suffering through an extreme water crisis.

Gaza is running out of water.

This is an act of genocide.

That particular moment when Israel decided it would be a good idea to murder a Reuters journalist, in a hospital.

As rescue workers tried to recover his body, Israel murdered them also.

Iran is not fighting this war only for Iran.

Understand that first. Absorb it. Because until you understand it, nothing else about this conflict makes sense.

Iran is fighting for the right of any nation on earth to exist outside the permission structure of Washington and Tel Aviv.

It is fighting for the principle that sovereignty is not something granted by empire, it is something inherent. And if it must be defended with blood, then blood is what gets spent.

Every country that has been sanctioned into poverty for daring to disagree.

Every government that has been coup'd out of existence for nationalizing its own resources.

Every leader who has been assassinated by a drone because he refused to make himself useful to someone else's agenda.

Every people told that their choices are submission or destruction.

Iran is fighting for all of them.

You don't have to like the Iranian government to understand what's at stake.

You don't have to agree with every policy, every ideology, every internal decision.

That's not the point.

The point is that a country of 90 million people has looked at the most powerful military and financial empire in human history, and said: no.

Said it for forty-seven years.

Said it under sanctions that would have broken most nations.

Said it while being threatened with annihilation on a weekly basis by countries with actual nuclear weapons.

The question this war is really asking is not whether Iran survives.

The question is whether any country is allowed to survive on its own terms.

That question belongs to all of us.

Netanyahu told Trump to start the new phase of economic warfare against Iran. Any neighbor of Iran that adheres to Trump's demands to target Iranian citizens with economic warfare will be severely punished militarily and all US economic assets in these regimes will be destroyed.

[BoBartonONeill @bo_tunes]

Such arrogance. This is what 78 years of impunity has created.

Entitled — nuclear armed — paranoid monsters.

When will the ‘free world’ start its economic sanctions on them.

Really start them?

Thousands of children are still beneath 61 million tonnes of rubble in Gaza — after almost three years.

Unrecovered — Unidentified — Unburied.

They were no different from my grandchild or your grandchild.

They were mass exterminated in live-streamed ethnic cleansing.

The world isn’t allowed in to Gaza to stop it.

It is forbidden by Israel.

The world went to war to stop the last Holocaust.

Please, please, don’t forget Gaza and the OPT.

They even bombed us in the tents, burning us alive as we slept. Israel has committed the most hideous acts humanity has ever witnessed throughout history, proudly flaunting its crimes in full view of the world.

It is a full-fledged genocide.
