RIP Mohammad Mahdi, a die-hard Liverpool fan. He was killed with his wife and children in an Israeli strike in South Lebanon. An entire family stolen out by a terrorist state.

🇬🇧 🇵🇸 Four Palestine Action Activists Sentenced as ‘Terrorists’ in UK Legal First
Four activists who raided an Elbit Systems arms factory near Bristol in 2024 were sentenced as “terrorists” Friday at Woolwich Crown Court, in what supporters said is the first time UK protesters have been treated as ‘terrorists’ for criminal damage alone.
Justice Jeremy Johnson applied a “terrorism connection” under the Sentencing Act, finding the raid on the Israeli weapons maker’s Filton plant caused “serious damage” and was meant to intimidate the government and shut Elbit down.
The jury that convicted them of criminal damage in May was never told a “terrorism” finding could follow.
Their sentences:
➤ Charlotte Head, 30: 6 years
➤ Leona Kamio, 30: 6 years
➤ Fatema Rajwani, 21: 5 years, 8 months
➤ Samuel Corner, 23: 8 years, 8 months (incl. GBH without intent)
The finding means they must serve two-thirds of their terms, not the standard 40%, before parole eligibility. Gasps broke out in the gallery as the sentences were read.

Viral footage of a Palestinian boy crying over his broken glasses has drawn attention to the impact of Israel’s genocidal blockade on Gaza.
Seven-year-old Ayoub Junaid has a severe visual impairment, with eye doctors warning his parents that any falls or blows could cause additional damage to his retinas. He is in need of urgent surgery.
“At the end of April, while walking with a family member along a road strewn with rubble, he fell and struck his face on the ground, breaking the glasses,” his mother Eman Junaid said.
“He burst into tears, rolled on the ground and desperately tried to piece them back together. For Ayoub, those glasses were everything. Even with them, he cannot see clearly and often has to hold objects just inches from his face. But without them, he can barely move around at all.”
Ayoub has since been given a new pair of glasses, but his case underlines the number of Gazan residents prevented from accessing basic eye care such as eye exams, corrective lenses and ophthalmic surgery by Israel’s blockade.
Health officials in Gaza say eye care services have been decimated by the genocide, with Israeli missiles forcing the temporary shuttering of Gaza City’s Government Eye Hospital, the only public eye care centre in the territory.

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism.
And we’d never hear the end of it.
Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.
this will go systematically unnoticed for god knows when, and not a single entity will do a thing to slow it down let alone stop it, not even fake condemn it, and when Palestinians are pushed to explosion the world will act like Palestinians have started a new cycle of violence.
The footage out of Gaza the last few days has been horrifying, but the footage tonight is reminiscent of what we witnessed day in and day out through 2023 and 2024.
One friend in Nuseirat camp said that tonight was the worst night they’d experienced. It is the day before Eid al Adha and Israel, the ethno-supremacist Jewish nation it is, is slaughtering Palestinians as it always does before Islamic holidays.
A society absolutely addicted to inflicting mass suffering and death year-round on its neighbours, no strategy, no politics, no efforts to live in peace, just a singular devotion to mass murder. A representation in state form of humanity at its collective worst
