Everyone’s anti-war until the pro-war propaganda starts.
If we don't end war, war will end us.

This High Court ruling gives the government unprecedented power in determining whether or not a group may become a terrorist organisation in the future.

Israeli drones targeted me while I was clearly filming a report in an open space with all requirements (press signs on the car, vest and helmet with press signs, cellphones open and not doing anything else.
I was told that Lebanese army was blocking the road somewhere, so i went there searching for where the Lebanese army is.
I stopped at Arnoun-Yohmor-Kfartebnit roundabout because i didn't want to go further.
I got outside my car, with my cameras in the cage and my microphone with PressTV logo.
I was filming when the Israeli drones deliberately attacked where I was standing, and not my car.
Two brave men were able to come to my rescue after about 15 to 20 minutes. I was trying to get away from my car as I was expecting they might retarget it.
6 shrapnels hit my body (1 right chest, 3 right leg, 2 left leg).
I am better now.
Targeting journalists is a war crime.
I wish if any international legal side was able to benefit from this video to
Glory to the resistance, our only hope in front of those zionist criminals.

After Bari Weiss's "The Free Press" wrote last week that the Trump admin had opened a probe into Trita Parsi that could lead to his deportation, the State Department refuted the claim just hours later. Trita Parsi responds to the "unusual" situation. ⬇️

"Environment secretary casts doubt on £10bn Thames Water rescue.'

Govt says they are going to cut sewage dumping by 50% by 2030. As part of their bailout Thames Water want to be exempt from environment law. If govt allows that they will never meet their 2030 target. 🤔

Oi Lady Chief Justice- you need to have a rethink - the suffragettes fought for you to have the vote by much more strident means than Palestine Action has ever taken up 👇 .

An 87-year-old was arrested for holding a sign, protesting Israel’s genocide of Gaza that has killed over 75,000 people.

No British arms executive has been arrested.

Not one.

The Justice Department has approved the $111 billion mega-merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery.

"This has been one of the most shallow and corrupt merger review processes we've ever seen, and it has been marked by Paramount … wooing and capitulating to the Trump administration at every turn," says Craig Aaron, co-CEO of the media advocacy group Free Press.

I know people on here think having a trillion dollars is fine but it is simply not possible to have any semblance of a democracy when wealth is concentrated like that: https://t.co/bB2fUyWfiR

Utterly disgraceful: yet again the government of @Keir_Starmer ignores International Law and the @ICJ_org and sides with the oppressor & occupier against the subjugated & occupied

The BBC is at it again.

Dahiye is not simply “where Hezb0llah is based.” It is home to 500,000–800,000 people. It’s where families live, where friends meet in cafés and restaurants, where people work, shop, study, and build their lives.

The choice of language is deliberate, dehumanising an entire community to justify I$raeli attacks on civilians.

Shameful

Dr. Marandi: "Netanyahu wrecked the last ceasefire by carpet-bombing Lebanon - killing hundreds of civilians in minutes. Iran responded by blocking ships from Gulf states. Now we're at the edge of a global energy crisis.

If Netanyahu doesn't end the genocide in Lebanon and Gaza, Iran won't abide by its commitments. We will go over the cliff"

[IRAN Embassy in Austria @IraninAustria]

🔸️The irrelevant are scrambling to find a role for themselves.

The joint statement by certain European countries is remarkable—though not for its substance, but for its audacity:

1. Their sanctions against Iran were never legitimate or legal to begin with. Lifting them, therefore, is not a concession to Iran, but a return to propriety—and a favor they do only to themselves.

2. As for the security of the Strait of #Hormuz, Iran alone determines when—and whether—it requires outside counsel or assistance. Until that day comes, any foreign action in or relating to the Strait, under any pretext whatsoever, will be regarded as an aggressive act against the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

THIS is the truth of what happened but the judge would not allow the whole video to be shown or even for the defendants to explain the motivation for actions, THIS is not a functioning democracy or judiciary this is corruption on behalf of special interests!

Multi-millionaire Iceland boss wants to axe pension triple lock.

Full UK state pension (received by 35% of pensioners) is less than 50% of minimum wage.

Millions can't save for private pension

2m pensioners live in poverty. 110000 a year die in poverty.

Trump, a billionaire, did a meme coin rug pull to his own supporters, transferring $600-700 million of wealth from the MAGA base to his already wealthy family.

Argentina's right-wing President Javier Milei did the same to his supporters, promoting the Libra crypto pump-and-dump scheme.

They don't care a bit about their supporters. They see them as stupid losers -- which, honestly, they are, if they still support these crooks.

[Dimitri Lascaris @dimitrilascaris]

Do not believe for one second that Israel's genocidal regime did this without the prior approval of the Trump regime.

These monsters are agreement-incapable.

Any ceasefire or peace agreement with the U.S. or Israel is not worth toilet paper.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Rep. Thomas Massie confirms Washington intentionally hid 28 pages of the 9/11 report. He reveals Saudi officials and spies directly helped the hijackers!

The establishment kept this secret and blocked victims from suing to protect foreign allies. Treason!
