Hind Rajab’s last words, particularly these, always make me tear up. I find them - and the fate that befell her and tens of thousands of Gazan children - extremely difficult to think about. But we must. Keep their memories alive always. Never stop making noise for Palestine.
The War in Ukraine started years ago, when the US boasted they spent $5bn organising a Regime Change in 2014 followed by #NATO involvment in Ukraine since 2015. Ukraine Government had killed over 14,000 of their own people in Donbass Region before the Russian 2022 invasion...
Toda Colombia debe saber que este bombardeo a un colegio lleno de niños en Gaza fue ejecutado bajo conocimiento y asistencia de @CapitanKaplan vocero de Israel que se encuentra en Cali con 81 asesinos premiados por @marcospeckel y @ABDELAESPRIELLA MALDITOS
Per què?
Perquè la Fundació Resilis ha contret un deute de 30M€ per fer-se amb el control de 500 PISOS... i si no els omplen, poden entrar en fallida. Ho hem explicat amb tot detall aquí: https://t.co/TokOKeF8hJ (Cap al final del text).
Love or hate Assad, Syria was a stable country destroyed by a war that began with a US and Israeli-backed insurgency led by the Islamic State/Al-Qaeda.
500,000 dead Syrians later, the benefit to Israel is obvious.
Washington calls it sanctions but these are financial terrorism. These are unilateral American measures, not sanctions authorised by the United Nations. By coercing third countries into enforcing US domestic law against Iran, Washington behaves as though its jurisdiction covers the planet. Military aggression, economic strangulation or extraterritorial coercion: the instrument changes, but the contempt for international law remains.
The MoD recently gave a £10 million contract to an Israeli-owned arms firm which operates under the authority of minister Bezalel Smotrich -- who is subject to UK sanctions.
Is Andy Burnham going to do anything about that?

Disappointed the BBC cancelled my interview on Israel's killing of Hind Rajab
2 producers eagerly reached out. They confirmed the time & one called to prepare a brief for the anchor
She asked me whether Israel's announcement is positive, I explained in detail it was a cover up.
The IDF is blaming the killing of Hind, her uncle, aunt & 4 cousins on the family itself for trying to flee by car & on the ambulance sent to rescue her for "failures in the co-ordination of the movement."
None of this is remotely true! The Red Cross immediately informed the IDF about 5-year-old Hind who was hiding in that motionless car, & they requested permission from Israel to allow an ambulance to rescue them.
After multiple long hours, Israel granted greenlight to the ambulance & provided them with a designated route on a GPS to drive on.
As soon as the ambulance reached Hind's car, the IDF ambushed & bombed them immediately with an American made anti-tank missile then opened fire on Hind's car. The car was hit with 355 bullets.
Israel then kept that area under lockdown for 12 days, & prevented anyone from approaching.
Hind's mom went daily to the Ahli baptist hospital hoping to find her daughter, until her lifeless body was brought in along with the charred remains of the ambulance men.
Israel then claimed after an "initial investigation" that its troops were NEVER in that area to begin with. They maintained that claim for 2 years despite ample recordings & satellite images debunking this lie.
The only reason Israel is now making this new announcement of a deeper investigation is to shield its soldiers & generals from the International Criminal Court by invoking the principle of "complementarity;" that the ICC cannot investigate a state that is already investigating itself in good faith.
I told the BBC producer Israel today also quietly shut down the investigation into the triple tap killing of American, Canadian, British, Australian & Polish citizens in the WCK massacre. Israel blamed the massacre on the aid workers themselves for "deviating from the predesignated route" & for hiring an armed security guard "without informing the IDF" (both claims where debunked by WCK themselves, who had coordinates their every step with the IDF).
I told the producer the Israeli commander responsible for this massacre, Nochi Mendel, is a fanatical settler who had signed a petition calling for starving Gaza & that he was celebrated by settler leaders & supported by Israeli government leaders after what he did.
Mendel even received a box of chocolate from the settler council's leader & a letter of support for what he did.
Mendel was initially dismissed by the IDF & blamed for the massacre, but was quickly & quietly reinstated & promoted in the Defence Ministry as the head of the settlements and national infrastructure unit.
It's abundantly clear Israel is NOT serious about prosecuting any of the atrocities committed in Gaza. Since the genocide began, only two soldiers were punished by the IDF; one for microwaving a living frog & another for cooking sausages in the army kitchen on Shabbat.
The producer asked me: What about the 150 cases the IDF said are pending review?
I answered: it's just a number designed to give the appearance of seriousness, but it's essentially meaningless.
If it took the IDF two whole years to admit the simplest of facts that the entire world had already known, which is that their troops were the ones who fired on Hind Rajab's car, how do you expect them to do with the remaining cases that are not as high profile?
Five minutes after the call, the producer wrote me that they decided to cancel the interview & will not even host anyone else to comment on the issue, & instead they'll play archival footage!
YouTube has unilaterally closed the channel of my Serbian friend, the wonderful Emir Kusturica, a multi talented Balkan treasure, a giant of a man in every sense

Truth is the new hate speech
When environmental activists broke windows of banks, they were not sentenced as terrorists.
When Palestine Action activists break windows of banks, they face a potential terrorism sentence, despite only being convicted for criminal damage.
What is the difference?
⭕️ Bon dia!
Habitualment a OCTUVRE dediquem aquests dies d'agost a feines internes i de gestió.
Però el conflicte Espanya-Marroc toca un tema que coneixem molt:
➡️El fosc món del Tercer Sector català.
Per això, hem decidit aturar la feina interna i fer aquest fil.
COMENCEM.
BREAKING | A jury has failed to convict Palestine Action activists Madeleine Norman, Hannah Davidson, Teuta Hoxha, Ola Alexandra Herbich, Ian Sanders, William Plastow and Yulia Brigadirova in the latest Filton 25 trial, over allegations of criminal damage and violent disorder at Elbit Systems’ Filton site in 2024.
No, there is currently not a single American citizen under indictment, investigation, or facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). There is no active legal proceeding or pending case against any U.S. citizen at the court. President Trump on July 31 said Secretary Rubio was seeking to destroy the ICC to protect Israeli PM Netanyahu.
