Thank you President 🇸🇮.
Palestine is the moral compass of our time.
From Spain to Slovenia there is hope for Europe. A Europe that puts people above banks and markets, rights above profits, and respects int'l law regardless of political calculus.
🚨Many rape cases inside Israeli prisons and interrogation centers were documented even before October 7. Among them was a girl raped in 2011 at a detention center in occupied Jerusalem. She spoke out, but no justice was served, and the case was closed.‼️
🚨Israel’s PM Netanyahu says he has ordered the IDF to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip
Netanyahu: “At this point, we are fully in control of 60% of the territory of the Gaza Strip… and my directive is to get to… 70%”
Audience member: “100! 100!”
Netanyahu: “Wait, let’s go in order. First 70%. Let’s start with that.”
Israel had withdrawn to 53% of Gaza after the ceasefire brokered by the US last October, but has steadily expanded control to over 60%, maps show.
(Footage from Channel 12)
.@joshrushing, a senior correspondent for Al Jazeera’s Fault Lines (@AJFaultLines), accepted an Emmy for their documentary about Israel’s systematic shootings of children in Gaza.
Rushing called out the irony of accepting an award in the U.S., which has sent billions to support Israel’s genocide in Gaza. He dedicated the award to his Al Jazeera colleagues killed by Israel.
Urgent calls for restraint as the ancient city of Tyre is hit by multiple Israeli airstrikes following orders to leave from the Israeli military. The Israeli military has now declared the entire south of Lebanon a combat zone - covering 250-300 towns and villages. ‘We urge you to act now to stop this escalation’ - UN Peace ambassador appeals to global leaders @ambdanialachkar
🚨 Israel Burns More Palestinians Alive Under U.S.-Backed Ceasefire
Palestinians carried burned and wounded children through the streets after an Israeli airstrike hit a residential home in central Gaza City, killing at least 7 people, including two young girls, and wounding more than 20 others, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Videos filmed by journalists Omar Al-Gedi and Mahmoud Shaweesh capture residents pulling casualties from the rubble, children covered in blood being rushed into ambulances, and crowds screaming in panic as flames and smoke filled the area.
Israel continues to carry out daily strikes on homes and residential neighborhoods across Gaza and Lebanon despite ongoing U.S.-backed ceasefire agreements, while mediating parties in the Gaza talks — the United States, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey — remain largely silent about blatant ceasefire violations. Over 920 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Israel agreed to a ceasefire last October.
Influencer turns down $300k from Israel lobby. @JBarnettMW talks with @JoelJammal Turning Point Australia
Should social media influencers disclose their funding?

I agree with @ChrisVanHollen.
The status quo on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is unacceptable. Netanyahu’s government is burying the two-state solution with U.S.-funded weapons and a blank check.
The next Democratic President should recognize a State of Palestine and stop providing offensive weapons to Israel until Israel agrees to a plan to end the occupation.
🚨Israel added to UN blacklist of perpetrators of sexual violence, a huge blow to r@pe deniers
It takes a substantial amount of evidence of systematic & widespread sexual violence for the UN Secretary General to add a gov or entity to this blacklist
Guterres has been avoiding calls to add Israel to this UN blacklist list for years, despite an abundance of cases. So the fact he accepted to add it now speaks volumes about the amount of sexual violence cases the UN has documented!
Ignorance is not an incurable condition. Reading informed sources helps.

Smotrich demanded the destruction of 10 buildings in Beirut for every explosive drone launched by Hezbollah. This is Nazism. There is an increasingly strong case to make that Israel is now perpetrating two genocides.

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.
Tonight, entire families were wiped out in Israel’s bombardment of Mashghara in the Bekaa.
Among the dead:
Samir Rizk.
Hamza Rizk & his two children.
Hassan Mansour, his wife, & their two daughters.
Killed inside their homes, late at night, as Israeli warplanes unleashed wave after wave of heavy strikes on the town.
The footage from the scene is hellish. Homes burning. Entire buildings torn open. Families buried beneath the rubble in their sleep.
