57 years ago today, Israel fucking butchered 34 US servicemen on the USS Liberty and wounded 171 more.
And what did America do? Jack shit.
Covered it up to protect a genocidal lapdog.
No justice. No outrage.
Just decades of cowardly silence. Still bending over for Israel while their own men rot.
Thank you @RealCandaceO for highlighting this for us all.
‼️“I don’t want my father to die! It’s over, there won’t be any smile anymore. It’s all gone.” These were the words of Layan al-Daghma, the daughter of Khaled al-Daghma, who was killed today at the so-called “Fish Fresh” aid point in Rafah, run by the Gaza “Humanitarian” Foundation.
Khaled had gone out to help transport people so they could get food for their starving families. He came back in a body bag. His daughter cried that they had been starving for three months, and now she wishes it had been her instead. The Foundation, falsely presented as an aid initiative, is being used by the Israeli occupation as a tool of control and humiliation, drawing desperate people into deadly traps instead of delivering real aid.
Similar incidents have been happening every day at all GHF points. Today, multiple casualties were reported at the Netzarim point as well. So far, 9 martyrs have been confirmed at the Fish Fresh point, with more arriving.

Thank you @susanabulhawa
Susan Abulhawa just gave one of the most searing indictments at the Oxford Union.
It’s called “If.”
If Palestinians bombed every synagogue…
If they wiped out hospitals…
If they herded Jews into tents labelled “safe zones” — then bombed them…
If they did even one of the things Israel has done to Gaza…
What would the world do?
What would you say?
The silence now isn’t neutrality. It’s complicity.
Watch it. Reflect. Then choose what kind of human you want to be.
"People can stomach no longer the sight of Palestinian children being starved and murdered by the Israeli occupation of Gaza."
Retweet if you agree with Corbyn
🇳🇴 Norway took its oil wealth and built the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — investing in pensions, healthcare, and the future.
🇬🇧 Britain sold ours off in the 1980s, handed control to private corporations, and spent the revenues on short-term tax cuts.
🔴 Today, Norway has one of the highest standards of living in the world — while the UK is stuck managing decline.
🔵 Thatcher’s Conservative govt was responsible for handing over control of North Sea oil to private corporations, dismantling public ownership, and prioritising free-market policies over long-term public wealth.
Thatcher forfeited long-term public income from oil in favour of short-term privatisation proceeds and tax cuts.
🔴 Norway, by contrast, retained public control and built up the $1.6 trillion Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund from its oil wealth. The UK spent most of its oil revenues on general government spending during the 1980s, with little legacy investment.
“I don’t regret speaking out about Palestine.”
Speaking to Middle East Eye, Mark Bonnick, former kit man for Arsenal FC, explains how he was dismissed from the football club for speaking out for Palestine
