Several activists were attacked by an Israeli TikToker in the occupied West Bank. Among them was Ukrainian photojournalist Roman Levin, who says the West must take action to hold Israeli settlers accountable for their actions.

This is a projection on a detention centre in Los Angeles. Obviously artwork aimed at ICE. May the whole world remember the two people so tragically and unnecessarily killed.

As the people of Iran are currently deprived of their voices, their longings and their creativity, we hope people can share this too as a symbol of their plight as well and remember the tens of thousands killed by the security forces who are meant to protect them, astronomical numbers impossible to calculate or imagine, and share in the acknowledgment of their pain and loss.

Shane Rothwell, from Blanchardstown, Co Dublin, contacted several hotels across Ireland in an attempt to book a one‑night break. Not one could provide a ceiling hoist, which he needs to transfer safely from his wheelchair to a bed.

Mr Rothwell, who has cerebral palsy, told the Irish Independent: “I was surprised. I knew it was bad but I didn’t think it was this bad. A €200 stay becomes €1,000 when I have to hire a hoist and pay two support workers.”

The disability activist said the process was “mentally challenging”, adding: “I felt there’s no place for people living with disabilities in this world. Why do we have to go an extra mile when trying to book a hotel?

“I need to book a hoist and if I’m ­using a manual hoist, I need two support workers, which I have to pay for.”

After compiling a list of hotels ­unable to provide hoists, he proceeded to contact several taxi companies and, across different dates, couldn’t secure a wheelchair‑accessible taxi.

Ireland is “behind” in “terms of development”, Mr Rothwell said.

“I want to start seeing changes and the Government to be more invested in accessibility,” he added.

As things stand, we’re not treated equally

If disability access and inclusion were prioritised, he said, disabled people would feel “needed and included in society”.

Equality ‘on paper’ means little without real access

The historic speech given by Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney at the World Economic Forum in Davos has gotten a lot of attention, but many people are overlooking the most revealing admission he made, which exposes the blatant hypocrisy of Western imperialism.

It is perhaps understandable that most observers are focusing on Carney's response to Donald Trump's threats and his announcement that Canada will "fundamentally shift our strategic posture" and "diversify" away from the US. This is significant and historic.

Nevertheless, an even more important part of the speech was when Canada's prime minister admitted that the so-called "rules-based international order" was always deeply hypocritical and biased, serving the interests of the imperialist West.

He said, "We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim".

"This fiction was useful" for Western imperialist countries, Carney added. Which is why, "We participated in the rituals, and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality".

However, "This bargain no longer works", he stressed.

In other words, Carney was admitting that Western "middle powers" (like Canada or European countries) willingly went along with US hegemony and supported the US-led imperialist system -- which is predicated on the systematic subjugation and exploitation of Global South countries in the periphery -- because these Western middle powers also benefited from this pillage of the Global South.

But now that the US empire has turned against these Western imperialist middle powers that it previously called its "allies", and now that they are getting just a glimpse of what it feels like to be on the receiving end of what they have been doing to the Global South for centuries, they are (ostensibly) turning against the exploitative system that they had helped to sustain for so long.

They supported imperialism as long as it benefited them. Now that it doesn't, they pretend to be acting in a principled way, supposedly to uphold international law and defend sovereignty. But Canada's prime minister has publicly acknowledged that they never truly cared about that. It was just the public relations narrative.

The Israeli state is systematically raping Palestinians.

But there is no outrage, no sickened condemnations from Western politicians and pundits.

They're silent now. History won't be.

I don't give a damn about the private life of ex-footballer David Beckham. Never did.

I do give a damn that the "@IDF" criminals who murdered children from a football academy close to my heart will never face justice for their war crimes.

“I saw in Auschwitz that if a dominant group wants to dehumanise others, as the Nazis dehumanise me, the dominant group must first dehumanise themselves, the same holds nowadays for Israel.

I am appalled about how hateful, how dehumanised, that they do not see any human aspect in any Palestinian anymore.

The Zionists have no right whatsoever to use the Holocaust for any purpose, they have given up everything which has to do with humanity and with empathy”

I watched the Nuremberg film, and it is undoubtedly a brilliant work… but I left it with a question that kills me: How? How? How, and why were we exterminated by the same people we wept for in the film? What has happened from World War II to this day? They have done far worse and more cruel things than we could even imagine, to the people of Gaza, again and again, without mercy, without pause… has the world learned nothing?"

[Emelia🌙 @Emelia8z0]

BREAKING: The people who did this to Gaza are deeply concerned that Iran might have broken international law.

[Órfhlaith Begley @OrfhlaithBegley]

Mo Chara has been dragged back to court today by the British Government.

This is all part of a calculated attempt to silence those who stand up and speak out against the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Don't stop talking about Palestine.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

You should oppose oppression and injustice - whoever commits it.

You should oppose violence against civilians - whoever commits it.

You should oppose self-serving, catastrophically destabilising wars - whoever launches them.

You should support universal rights and freedoms for all - wherever they live.

That's why I oppose Israel's Western-facilitated genocide.

That's why I oppose the Iranian regime's murderous crackdown.

That's why I opposed Western wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya.

That's why I oppose Western intervention in Iran.

Having moral and political consistency, and believing in universal rights and freedoms, can feel lonely at times.

But it is the only correct position to have - and the only hope for humanity.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I want to pay tribute to all the hunger strikers, who have shown remarkable resilience in support of the Palestinian people.

They have shamed our government but inspired a movement with their bravery and moral purpose.

We know this is not the end. We will keep campaigning to end all arms sales to Israel, and we will never give up until justice has been achieved for the people of Palestine.

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Palestine today.

5 people dead due to hypothermia.

Hypothermia caused by Israel blocking all live saving supplies from entering.

Just a few miles away, on the other side of seized lands, military walls and tanks, Israeli kids eat fast food and play in swimming pools.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

This despicable article can still be found on the Guardian website.

How many Palestinian children has Israel deliberately and systematically killed since?

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

I don’t know if anyone is really listening, but what’s happening in Gaza’s camps has gone beyond all limits.

So far, 21 people have died from the biting cold, including 18 small children who found only the fragile tents as shelter.Children shivering, naked without warmth, sleeping on wet ground, silently waiting for death.

The tents neither protect nor shield; the rain and cold are slowly killing us every day. No warm clothes, no blankets, nothing to save us from this hell.

A new weather front is coming tomorrow, and the tragedies will repeat without end.I live this pain, see it with my own eyes, breathe this fear, and document it all with deep sorrow.

These innocent souls are being mercilessly killed, while the world turns a blind eye, ignoring their death and silencing their cries.

Don’t stay silent, don’t stand idly by.
Every minute of delay means more children who will never see warmth or a tomorrow.The tents are not shelters; they are open graves waiting for more victims.
