For those looking to get into the World Cup mood, the 'World in Motion' paperback has a new afterword, featuring a trip to England's Qatar 2022 base & a plane ride with Rene Higuita... #italia90

Israel’s defense minister can openly talk about plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza without generating a single headline in Western media.

Does anyone want to report this?

890 killed during a 'ceasefire'.

The Israelis carried out their threat to assassinate Amal

Read this detailed account from @ZeinakhodrAljaz of the sequence of events leading to the killing of Leb journalist Amal Khalil. Her editors; Leb Pres; Red Cross, were all informed and appealed for help. The Israeli military bombed her shelter anyway then prevented her rescue for hours, attacking the ambulance crews. Targeting journalists and first responders is a heinous breach of int law - no matter their affiliation, no matter it was inside Israeli-occupied land. Leb PM is demanding accountability and calls her killing a ‘blatant war crime’

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

"Between October 2023 and December 2025, more than 38,000 women and girls were killed in #Gaza, the result of Israeli air bombardment and land military operations.

Please read the great @JohnSimpsonNews writing for @thenerve_news On Israel’s ‘journacide’.

The deliberate targeting & murder of journalists with absolute impunity

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Meanwhile, the international press is using Israel’s fake language & euphemisms. These are all headlines from the international media. It’s not a ground operation’ or a ‘security buffer zone’. It’s an INVASION. These are war crimes.

NEW: NEW: Lebanon is Gaza 2.0. That’s what Israeli ministers are saying *in their own words*. Believe them.

For those saddened by another World Cup without those famous blue shirts, it could be time to revisit the days when #Italy was the centre of the football world...

NEW: It’s a journocide. Israel admits to targeting & killing three more journalists & making up false evidence.

Journalists in the west have a moral responsibility to speak up. The blowback from this impunity is coming next for us all.

The Lebanese President has condemned the killing of two senior Lebanese journalists and a cameraman in a targeted double Israeli strike today saying: ‘This is a brazen crime that violates all the norms and treaties under which journalists enjoy international protection in wars, in accordance with the 1949 Geneva Conventions’ he said

[Alex Crawford @AlexCrawfordSky]

Israeli strikes in south Lebanon just this morning have killed seven paramedics and wounded seven more. Three journalists covering the attacks have also been killed.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

Trump’s retribution against Albanese should concern far more than those focused on Israel’s human rights record. It should trouble anyone who believes in free speech.

📍Gaza
One year has passed since the killing of 8 @PalestineRCS medics and 7 other first responders in Gaza. Our thoughts today are with their loved ones.

Humanitarian workers must be able to carry their work in safety.

Read this sentence. This is our collective shame.
