Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.

As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.

In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.

In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.

We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.

Palestinians on the West Bank, who have endured oppression for decades, and pogroms for years, now fear that settler-terrorists are preparing to carry out massacres around Israeli election time

WILL the West do NOTHING to stop this, as they have done with Gaza GENOCIDE?

The manipulation of data they tried to pull off in the UK "antisemitism" report is so forward it's almost offensive they thought people wouldn't notice.

"Are you just as open to having Jewish friends as you are to have friends from other parts of British society?

is NOT the same question as:

"Are you comfortable spending time with people who openly support Israel?"

They tried to use the answers to these two VERY different questions- the first posed in 2020 and the second one in 2026 - as "evidence" that antisemitism is on the rise in the UK.

And even then they STILL had to admit that it's criticism of ISRAEL that's on the rise, NOT bias against Jewish people.

"Netanyahu wants to win the election with the blood of the Palestinians. He has the power of weapons and artillery, but we have the power of will and steadfastness," said a Palestinian resident of Hebron who was displaced by recent Israeli military operations.

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Around 300 Palestinian families have been forcibly displaced from their homes in Hebron’s al-Jalda and Ein Deir Baha neighbourhoods as Israeli forces continue their assault on the occupied West Bank.

Israel’s military has launched a new large-scale operation in the occupied West Bank, which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as the largest since 1967. The assault includes mass arrests, home demolitions, and the forced displacement of residents.

Palestinian farmers and Israeli peace activists joined together Friday to harvest olives in Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, despite ongoing tensions and threats of violence from Israeli settlers.

Volunteers from the Israeli-Palestinian peace group Combatants for Peace helped local farmers gather olives on land surrounded by Israeli settlements, while Israeli soldiers patrolled the area.

Chen Alon, an Israeli co-founder of the organization and former Israel Defense Forces soldier, said the joint harvest was intended to show solidarity with Palestinian farmers amid settler attacks and accused Israeli forces of supporting the violence. The United Nations has documented nearly 200 settler attacks linked to the olive harvest since September.

[Dr Juliet Turner @juliet_turner6]

I used to have hedgehogs living in the garden that I would see every night and share photos and videos of regularly: there were at least three different individuals including the named resident female Henrietta.

This was until landlord of the neighbouring property decided to clear their entire garden— all of the trees, all the shrubs, all the bramble, everything was torn up and thrown out.

They also tore down the shared fence between our gardens which had been an old wooden fence covered in ivy, with plenty of gaps for the hedgehogs to pass through. They built a brand new 6ft tall impenetrable fence.

The construction of this fence may seem minor but it means that wildlife like hedgehogs can no longer pass through. The removal of the plants from that garden means that the hedgehogs lost a huge part of their foraging and living area.

I have not seen a single hedgehog in our garden since the neighbour made these changes. I don’t know if it’s because they can’t get in past the new fences, because they were scared away, or possibly because they were killed in the renovations.

I look for Henrietta often and wonder what happened to her. Did she get fenced out of our garden permenantly? Did she get taken away with the branches and leaf litter? Did she get fenced inside the neighbours garden and find herself unable to get back out? I’ll probably never know.

I’ve made some gaps in the new fence now and though I wait for the hedgehogs to return, it has been several months now and I still haven’t seen any.

Hedgehogs are a Red List species in the UK, yet landowners seemingly have no requirement to consider them whatsoever in any renovations they make. I pleaded with the neighbouring landlord (via some very patronising estate agents) to leave some habitat intact. They ignored me.

WATCH: Israeli "settler" was filmed cursing at Palestinian business owners as Israeli forces demolished their store in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron.

“It’s a shame they’re demolishing it for you while you’re not inside! You need to be inside! May they destroy you, may they burn you too!” the settler shouted in Hebrew as machinery tore down the building.

“Whoever touches Jews will pay. Did you understand, you dogs? You will all pay,” he added, calling the Palestinians “cursed dogs.”

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Israeli occupation forces are expelling hundreds of Palestinians from their homes across Hebron city and turning the homes into military bases, in an ongoing invasion that war criminal Netanyahu announced yesterday, under the pretext of a mass search for weapons.

It is mass collective punishment, and Israeli forces have done the same in the Jenin and Tulkarm refugee camps, where they occupied displaced families’ homes for months, looting them and then trashing or burning them.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

בצלם קורא בדחיפות לקהילה הבינלאומית, לממשלות ולמוסדות בינלאומיים לפעול מיד, בכל האמצעים העומדים לרשותם לפי המשפט הבינלאומי, כדי לעצור את מסע הטיהור האתני שישראל מנהלת בחברון ולמנוע עקירה בכפייה של אזרחים פלסטינים, ענישה קולקטיבית והרס נרחב ובלתי חוקי. מנהיגי ישראל מכריזים בגלוי על כוונותיהם, והצעדים בשטח כבר החלו.

בעקבות אירוע הירי סמוך לחברון ב־23 באוקטובר, שבו נהרגו שני חיילים ישראלים, הודיעו ראש הממשלה בנימין נתניהו ושר הביטחון ישראל כ״ץ בגלוי על תוכניות לעקור בכפייה תושבים פלסטינים מבתיהם ולבצע הרס נרחב באזור.

בהצהרתו אמר נתניהו: ״ניישם בערים את המודל ההתקפי המוצלח שהפעלנו במחנות הפליטים״.

אותו מודל כבר הוביל לעקירתם של יותר מ־33 אלף פלסטינים במחנות הפליטים בצפון הגדה המערבית. כעת, מנהיגי ישראל מאיימים להחיל את אותה מדיניות של עקירה המונית והרס גם בחברון.

והצעדים בשטח כבר החלו. כוחות הצבא הטילו כתר על חברון וחלחול, בעוד שהמנהל האזרחי החל להרוס מבנים פלסטיניים בשכונת פרש אל-הווא. במקביל, הודיע השר בצלאל סמוטריץ׳ על הקמת ארבעה מאחזי חווה חדשים בדרום הר חברון.

מנהיגי ישראל מכריזים בגלוי על תוכניות לענישה קולקטיבית ולמעשים שעלולים להוות פשעי מלחמה. תוכניות אלה מהדהדות את הפעולות ההרסניות שביצעה ישראל במסגרת הג׳נוסייד בעזה, ומהוות הסלמה נוספת במסע הטיהור האתני ובפרויקט המחיקה שהיא מקדמת בגדה המערבית: פירוק שיטתי של הקיום הפלסטיני הקולקטיבי, תוך הרחבת ההתנחלויות וביסוס שליטה ישראלית קבועה.

העולם אינו יכול לעמוד מנגד בזמן שישראל ממשיכה במתקפתה על הפלסטינים, ולהמתין עד ששכונות נוספות יתרוקנו מתושביהן ויימחקו, למרות מה שכבר ראינו בעזה ובצפון הגדה המערבית. ממשלות ומוסדות בינלאומיים חייבים לפעול עכשיו כדי למנוע את הפשעים האלה ולהגן על האוכלוסייה הפלסטינית.

EXCLUSIVE:

As promised, this will be the first of a series of recordings I have about a foreign plot to attack Ilhan Omar with FORGED documents and the help of Trump associates and the Right-wing media.

The man on this call is Alan Bender, a mediator with longstanding dealings in Saudi royal circles. Alan Bender, is a confirmed confidant of Middle Eastern Royals, particularly in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.  He represented Prince Alawaleed in his divorce case, and also mediated during Alawaleed's detention by Crown Prince MBS

Alan Bender alleges years ago that wealthy, powerful people planned to doctor documents to smear Ilhan Omar, then amplify them through right-wing media, betting her credibility would be destroyed before the truth caught up.

Listen to what he told me. Much more to come.

💔 I rescued her from the pain, but I had no idea I had left her heart behind.

Two days ago, I found this poor mother cat injured and terrified beside a road in Gaza.

Yesterday, I returned to the same place and found her three tiny babies.

When I brought them to the shelter, the happiness in her eyes was something I’ll never forget.🥹❤️

She had been through so much, yet all she wanted was her babies back.

Tonight, they are together, surrounded by love and safety.

My dear friends, please help me protect this beautiful reunion. They need food, medicine, and a chance to grow up without suffering.🙏❤️

This is not Gaza. This is Hebron today.

The Israeli occupation has begun destroying Palestine’s economic capital, a city that accounts for 75% of the country’s production in the stone and marble, leather and footwear, plastics, glass, oils, dairy, and gold industries.

Ethnic cleansing is being inflicted on the Palestinian people everywhere across the land of Palestine.

Israeli soldiers forced Palestinian families from their homes in Hebron in the occupied West Bank overnight Friday, taking control of the properties, marking houses with X signs and hanging Israeli flags from balconies. Troops also blocked roads and closed a nearby checkpoint, restricting movement in the neighborhood as the military expanded its presence in the area.

The operation followed an attack Friday in which two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others before being shot dead by Israeli forces. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had threatened a major military offensive following the attack.
