We are deeply disturbed by reports of the arrest of Dr Dima Mohammed Amin, a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology, from her home in the West Bank, Palestine. Dr Dima is the latest victim in Israel's systematic campaign of hunting down and detaining Palestinian medics.

She joins Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, Dr Iyad Al-Rantisi, Dr Mohammed Obeid and scores of others in arbitrary Israeli detention. They have not been charged with any offence; they were simply treating patients. That is not a crime.

We demand the immediate and unconditional release of all healthcare workers arbitrarily detained by Israeli forces.

On January 3, 2020, Qasem Soleimani landed in Baghdad on a commercial flight.

He was there at the invitation of Iraq’s prime minister.

The meeting was set for that morning in the Green Zone. He was carrying Iran’s official reply to a Saudi proposal aimed at cooling the fighting. Trump had spoken to the Iraqi prime minister two nights earlier.

Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis left the airport in two cars with a small group.

An American MQ-9 Reaper was already overhead.

Hellfire missiles hit the convoy on the airport road.

Everyone in the vehicles was killed.

Trump ordered the strike.

Hours later he was on television and social media claiming credit and celebrating the result.

That is the sequence!

A foreign official traveling openly under the host government’s invitation, after a phone call from the American president that referenced mediation, was tracked from the moment he landed and destroyed before he reached the meeting.

The order came from the White House.

The celebration followed immediately.

History records it as a targeted killing carried out by presidential command on Iraqi soil, against a man who had just arrived for talks arranged with the knowledge of the local government.

The missiles did the rest.

A rules-based order didn’t bother them.

It never did!

🧵On the occasion of Palestine’s upcoming parliamentary elections, I’m showing this for the first time 3 years after it happened

You can hear them laughing.

Last time a parliament was deliberately blown up with explosives like this was 1944 by Nazi Germany squads in Poland->

'Occupation soldiers told him, "Bend down and raise your hands."

Palestinian Fathi Khazem Abu Al-Ra'ad replied with all pride: "And who are you, that I should bend to you?"

So they opened fire on his chest.

Fathi Khazem Abu Al-Ra'ad — father of the two martyrs Ra'ad and Abdul Rahman Khazem — was martyred today after "israeli" occupation forces stormed his home in the heart of Jenin and executed him inside the house, before holding his body.

Abu Al-Ra'ad died a martyr... standing, as he wanted to be. He bowed only to God.

May God have mercy on Fathi Khazem Abu Al-Ra'ad, and on his two martyred sons Ra'ad and Abdul Rahman, and accept them all in the highest Paradise.'

Sky News reports from the West Bank: Palestinian farmers can't water their crops. Settlers steal their water, break their pipes, and spill the rest in front of them.

Meanwhile, settlers' agribusiness thrives -on stolen land, with stolen water, exporting to the UK and Europe under disguised labels.

One in six shipments to the EU is suspected settlement produce. The UK government talks about legal consequences. It does nothing.

Israele ha appena archiviato il caso relativo all’uccisione di operatori umanitari americani, canadesi, britannici, Europei e australiani della WKC, uccisi in un attacco missilistico israeliano a Gaza.
Il comandante Israeliano che ha ordinato il massacro, Nochi Mendel, è stato promosso a capo dell’unità Insediamenti e Infrastrutture nazionali presso il Ministero della Difesa israeliano. Lui stesso è un colono fanatico che aveva firmato una petizione in cui si chiedeva di affamare 2 milioni di palestinesi a Gaza, prima di commettere il massacro.
Nochi ha ricevuto il pieno sostegno del consiglio dei coloni israeliani illegali, che gli ha persino inviato una scatola di cioccolatini per festeggiare il crimine di guerra compiuto.
Il governo/ esercito genocidario israeliano e la società genocidaria israeliana premiano i soldati che commettono barbarie, atrocità, crimini di guerra/ contro l’umanità e pulizia etnica.

Jewish Israeli society is the most sadistically evil society in the world.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

I just talked to Jewish-American and Muslim-American doctors who were in Gaza and featured in the movie American Doctor. They explained how many kids were shot in the head and chest by Israeli snipers. They're murdering the kids on purpose.

83% of American doctors who went to Gaza reported a child assassinated by a sniper with either a head or chest shot - every single day they were there. They're murdering the children on purpose.

One of the doctors explained that when Israel surrounds a hospital, bombs it, raids it and shuts it down, they purposely destroy all the life saving equipment. In the hospital he was in, they destroyed the incubators, and eight babies died without them.

We are being forced to finance a fascist country committing a genocide, while the monsters in our government and media pretend it isn't happening.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

This is not Auschwitz. This is not Gaza. This is the West Bank, Palestine.

They are burning people's homes while families and children are asleep inside, violating the Geneva Convention and UNSCR 242.

The difference between Palestine and Auschwitz is that the world still has an opportunity to stop the Holocaust in Palestine.

Stop calling them "settlers"; they are terrorist invaders—state-sponsored terrorism.

"We do not touch soldiers' bodies,we take organs from the others"

Confirmed by the Israelis themselves.

So there is a British surgeon who returned from Gaza who says:

"The bodies of Palestian children returned with hearts, lungs, and livers removed"

Un 20 de agosto de 1998, el ejército de Estados Unidos bombardeaba con 13 misiles crucero la mayor fábrica de medicinas de toda Sudán, en mitad de una hambruna en el pais que mató a 70.000 personas.

La fábrica producía medicamentos para enfermedades tan agresivas como la malaria y el dengue, proporcionaba el 90% de los suministros médicos vitales que necesitaban los habitantes de Sudán y también en parte el de los países vecinos.

Tras el crimen de guerra, Estados Unidos, lejos de disculparse por bombardear la mayor fuente de recursos médicos de la región, se inventó que la fábrica estaba vinculada a la producción de armas químicas de Osama bin Laden.

Después del bombardeo, el sistema de atención médica sudanés, repito en mitad de una gran hambruna, colapsó, dejando a MILES de pobres sin suministros médicos y muriendo de graves enfermedades. Incluso 25 años después, todavía arrastran la destrucción de esa fábrica.

Sudán solicitó una disculpa oficial varias veces desde el crimen de guerra, pero EEUU nunca pidió perdón ni pagó ninguna compensación por el crimen de guerra, ni la ONU le sancionó, ni el CPI pidió el arresto de nadie, ni la UE le bloqueó económicamente, ni nada de nada.

EEUU años más tarde se vio obligado a admitir indirectamente que bombardearon el objetivo equivocado cuando tuvieron que descongelar las cuentas bancarias del dueño de la fábrica de medicinas, Salaheddin Idriss, luego de una demanda millonaria.

Crímenes del imperialismo ocultos, que no les interesa promocionarlos a los medios de incomunicación.

NEW from Whitney Webb (me) and Mark Goodwin (@markgoodw_in)

Javier Milei’s administration has been showcasing Patagonia to Silicon Valley executives, culminating in OpenAI’s recent ‘Stargate Argentina’ announcement. The focus of this piece, Emiliano Kargieman, is the man actually developing OpenAI’s Argentine project and boasts significant ties to United States’ military and intelligence, NASA, Palantir and the Silicon Valley stalwarts who helped privatize space.

Here, we detail how Kargieman has said the quiet apart loud about how data center construction isn't about "making jobs", it's about making money, and how he has suggested that OpenAI is a front for the accelerated build-out of AI infrastructure (financed by an intentional debt bubble). He has also suggested that Stargate Argentina will eventually be used, not by OpenAI (which Kargieman anticipates will collapse when the AI bubble pops), but by the Argentine State.

In looking at Javier Milei's policies with respect to AI domestically in Argentina, the "digital transformation" of the Argentine State - which Stargate Argentina hopes to further advance - is largely for "predictive" behavioral control of its population. We also touch on some of the likely motivators of Peter Thiel's move to Argentina and where he fits into all of this.

🚨 Israel Assassinates Gaza Women’s Police Chief in Strike on Police Headquarters

An Israeli strike on a police headquarters in Gaza City this afternoon killed eight police officers, including senior commanders, and a 13-year-old displaced girl, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Interior and National Security.

Those killed include:

▪️ Col. Fatina Abdul Jabbar al-Sahhar, 42 — Director of the Women’s Police Department in Gaza Govern-orate

▪️ Brig. Gen. Ayman Mahmoud Jundiya, 47 — Acting Director of Gaza Governorate Police

▪️ Col. Osama Hashem al-Hajin, 43 — Director of Operations, Gaza Governorate Police

▪️ Col. Ibrahim Abdul Rahman Tamraz, 47

▪️ Col. Alaa Ali Alyan, 47

▪️ Lt. Col. Hazem Jabr Khalaf, 52

▪️ Maj. Othman Shehata Abu Samaan, 42

▪️ Lt. Samaher Misbah Hamada, 39

▪️ Dana Haitham al-Jamasi, 13 — a displaced child who was near the targeted headquarters

The ministry said Israel is systematically targeting Gaza’s civilian police force in an effort to eliminate it and spread chaos across the enclave. Israel also arms and funds several gangs based near the eastern 60-70% of Gaza it controls.

Just a few news items that didn't spread in a single day:

- A minor named Muhammad Hamid is imprisoned in Israeli jails. His injury deteriorated, so the army amputated his leg and sent it to his family, while he remained in prison.

- Palestinian homes in the Qusra area of ​​the West Bank have been besieged by armed settlers for the 11th consecutive day, threatening the lives of the residents, while the world remains silent.

- Ben-Gvir appeared in a media interview and called for the killing of 40 Palestinians a day, and nothing happened, and no one accused him of anti-Semitism. Yet, they erupt in anger over a Palestinian child who throws stones, and he becomes an outcast everywhere.

- The Israeli army kills in Gaza every day without a care.

We learned all of this in just one day.

Disgusting: 🇺🇸🇻🇪 The US is confiscating Venezuela’s gold from the UK bank.

All of Venezuela's gold reserves, totaling 31 tons, which are held at the Bank of England, will be transferred to the United States, per EL Nacional.

The value amounts to $4 billion, resulting in the loss of Venezuelan sovereignty over the resources.

It's all disgusting🙏

[Ahmed Eldin @aseisfree]

The US Treasury sanctioned International Criminal Court President Tomoko Akane on Tuesday.

Any assets she holds in the United States are now frozen, and she’s largely cut off from the American financial system. Senior ICC trial lawyer Abdoulaye Seye got hit with the same penalties.

The designations came under Executive Order 14203, which lets Washington punish ICC personnel who investigate, arrest, or prosecute officials from countries that haven’t accepted the court’s jurisdiction.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio broke the news on social media, saying the administration was sanctioning Akane and Seye “in our unwavering mission to protect Americans from this sham of a court.”

Akane, a Japanese judge who has led the ICC since March 2024, and Seye, a Senegalese trial lawyer, will be barred from transactions with any US person or entity starting September 17. In practice the reach goes further than the legal text.
Banks tend to treat sanctioned officials as untouchable, severing ties well beyond what’s technically required to avoid getting caught up in US penalties themselves.

This is the latest move in a campaign the Trump administration has run against the court since February 2025, when it first sanctioned ICC officials over the arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Those warrants, issued in November 2024, accused the two of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. More than a dozen ICC judges and prosecutors have now been sanctioned.

Rubio called the court “a corrupt and fatally politicized supranational court that has maliciously abused its authority and exceeded its mandate.” The ICC answered the same day, saying the sanctions “undermine the rule of law” and warning that threatening judges for applying the law puts the entire international legal order at risk.

REMEMBER: the US signed the Rome Statute that created the ICC back in 2002 but never ratified it, so it was never bound by the court’s jurisdiction to begin with. Israel isn’t a member either. Neither is Russia, which didn’t stop the ICC from issuing a warrant for Vladimir Putin in 2023 over the war in Ukraine. Washington had no objection to that one tho.

The sanctions are drawing legal challenges on multiple fronts. In June, three ICC judges sued the Trump administration, calling the measures “arbitrary and capricious.” Last week, four human rights groups filed a separate suit in a New York court, arguing the sanctions block victims of war crimes from pursuing justice through the court at all.

Akane addressed the earlier round of sanctions back in February 2025, saying she regretted an order that would harm the court’s independence and “deprive millions of innocent victims of atrocities of justice and hope.” The institution she leads was built as the legal answer to the world wars and the Holocaust. Now its own president can’t hold a bank account in the country that helped write the treaty that created it.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

No, there is currently not a single American citizen under indictment, investigation, or facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). There is no active legal proceeding or pending case against any U.S. citizen at the court. President Trump on July 31 said Secretary Rubio was seeking to destroy the ICC to protect Israeli PM Netanyahu.
