22 August 1941 | Hungarian Jewish girl Beáta Donner was born.

More than 100 French and British former diplomats have said Palestine is being erased in front of the world’s eyes and called for urgent action including trade and arms sales bans to press Israel to accept a Palestinian state.
Some ethereal footage from this summer.
This wolf is a lone wolf passing through the area as there are no black wolves in the 19 packs in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem, which is not atypical. There have not been any black wolves in any packs in the area for over a decade.
Although resident black wolves in our area are rare, we do generally document 1 or 2 transient lone black wolves passing through every year.
L’heure des pionnières. En devenant la première Française à sortir dans l’espace, Sophie Adenot incarne une fierté française autant qu’un horizon pour les petites filles qui rêvent d’infini. Le visage de tous les possibles.
Retired IDF Colonel Doron Meinrath was arrested today by the IDF for protecting a Palestinian community in Khirbet a-Tawil in the occupied West Bank from settler violence. The IDF arrested him after declaring the area of a water cistern he was protecting a "closed military zone".
Doron is one of several thousands of Israeli activists risking their health and freedom to serve as "protective presence" against settler terrorists.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🧐🤔“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”
Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.
This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:
“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.
A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.
A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.
A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.
A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.
You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.
In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.
Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.
Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.
Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.
Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.
Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.
And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.
And you call Greenland badly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.
‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’
When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?
Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.
Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.
And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.
You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.
So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.
The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.
And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”
18 August 1924 | A French Jewish boy, Serge Zylberberg, was born in Paris.
In September 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
New @restispolitics LEADING with two remarkable men. Maoz Inon is Israeli, Aziz Abu Sarah is Palestinian. Maoz lost his parents in the October 7 massacre. Aziz lost his brother to Israeli torture. Now they campaign together for peace. Please listen https://t.co/7BsC9TktZC
Why do none of the other reporters step in and support colleagues when he goes off on one of his hissy fit tantrums, usually a woman, usually in response to a factual question. He doesn’t deserve respect so why fawn over him? Has nobody got the balls to ask him to apologise and organise a walk out if he doesn’t?
“I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat – there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”
It isn’t nuanced or complex.
Zionism is racism.
Just heard @FrankRGardner on BBC Scotland up here say Trump's threat on @FoxNews to bomb Oman is an "absolutely ludicrous suggestion" - Frank is worth more than the entire White House press corps in terms of telling truth to power - thank heaven for BBC reporters like him who do not mince words. Ask the SAS what they think of Oman - they have trained there for years - it is a special ally.
This isn’t some random psycho.
He’s Israel’s National Security Minister. He runs prisons and police. The government relies on his party’s support.
Neither do his comments exist in a vacuum.
Polling shows 76% of Jewish Israelis think “there are no innocents in Gaza”.
A group of Israeli settler children attacked a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance transporting a patient.
Take a moment to look at their ages
This is the curriculum of a society that has normalized violence against an entire people- and celebrates it as patriotism

Finally caught up with Birding with Bill Oddie on BBC Iplayer this evening - and to my surprise and delight THE WHOLE OF SERIES 2 is up there! Enjoy Shetland, Farmland, Heathland, London and Trinidad & Tobago as well as Bill’s Beginnings! Nostalgia fest! Please RT.
🚨 BREAKING:

A statement allegedly made by Israel's ambassador to Austria, David Roet, in a secretly recorded video.
17 August 1935 | Dutch Jewish boy, Nick Kopinsky, was born in Amsterdam.
