Take a minute to listen to UNICEF Spox @1james_elder:
“For Palestinian children this so-called ceasefire has become a cruel and deadly illusion…a 2-year-old boy shot and killed by Israeli forces, a 13-year-old shot and killed in his tent…We must stop normalizing the abnormal.”

🇬🇧 🇵🇸 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.

The racist pogroms in the UK are ongoing and spreading.
Terror advisor says we need to investigate migration.
Prime Minister says almost nothing.
Innocent people beaten, homes set on fire...
Fascists roam the streets and all our govt can think about is how to win their votes.

⭕️ Attack on water reservoirs leave 20,000 without drinking water
A reported U.S. attack on two water reservoirs in southern Iran has left 20,000 people without access to drinking water, according to their Mizan news agency. In a statement, the local Iranian water utility company said the reservoirs were “targeted and completely destroyed” on Wednesday morning in U.S. strikes in the Bemani area of Sirik in southern Iran.
"A match official who was set to be the first Somalian to referee at the World Cup finals has been dropped after he was denied entry to the US.."
Why isn't FIFA demanding this decision be reversed? That's a rhetorical question. We all know why.
Ian Wright isn't allowed to say it because he is a Football Presenter but he is thinking it.
So I will say it for him, this World Cup is racist and it is disgusting.
New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever.
Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car.
Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother.
In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.
Nizam Mamode: "We saw a number of children with sniper injuries to the head, single shot to the head, no other injuries, so clearly deliberately targeted by Israeli snipers."
