🇨🇦🇩🇪🇵🇸 A Canadian pediatrician who worked on the ground in Gaza confronted a German politician over his denial of famine and genocide reports. Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan told him the issue was no longer a lack of information. It was what he was choosing to dismiss. “Honestly, sir. If you can listen to every credible international organization…” She listed the UN, Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children, the International Court of Justice, and the independent witnesses who were actually allowed into Gaza. “We’re telling you the same thing.” The IPC has officially confirmed famine in Gaza. Amnesty International has said Israel inflicted a deliberate policy of starvation. Leading genocide scholars have also said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. And still, he questioned it. Her response was brutal: “I think you need to really consider what inherent racism and dehumanization you have in you.” Source: @MiddleEastEye on YT / Writer: Sol

Did you know that if you were a British journalist in 1945, and tried to interview a holocaust survivor, you could have faced 14 years in prison for the crime of interviewing a genocide survivor? Just kidding, that's the policy today for the genocide survivors of Gaza.

🚨 MAJOR DISRUPTION PLANNED FOR THE R4BN N2 WILD COAST ROAD (N2WCR)‼️ Two rural communities on opposite sides of the Mtentu River will stage protected marches on 8 July (Amadiba) and 9 July (Khanyayo), demanding urgent intervention in the troubled N2 Wild Coast Toll Highway project. The Transport, Environment, DPWI, Employment & Labour, and the National Treasury have been invited to receive memoranda. Communities say the project has been crippled by corruption, job-selling, unpaid workers, unfair dismissals and a lack of transparency. Local companies are awarded contracts to create an illusion of empowerment, only to be quietly pushed out by insider companies under MECSA's watch. The communities demand: 🔹️A Parliamentary midterm review of the N2 project. 🔹️An independent audit of MECSA's finances, procurement, labour and land-rights practices. 🔹️The immediate removal and replacement of MECSA. WORKERS AND SUBCONTRACTORS REMAIN UNPAID South African workers on the Mtentu Bridge project have not received their wages, despite receiving payslips from CCCC MECSA JV. Local subcontractors in Amadiba and Khanyayo also remain unpaid, while affected workers are simply told to stay at home. ILLEGAL PAYSLIPS RAISE SERIOUS QUESTIONS Communities say is unlawful for payslips to be issued under CCCC MECSA JV, a company that entered final deregistration in February 2025. A deregistered company cannot lawfully administer UIF or PAYE deductions. They say MECSA attempts to evade its obligations to workers and subcontractors. ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment has reportedly identified serious environmental non-compliance on the southern section of the project in Khanyayo, including damage to wetlands and community water sources. Communities say SANRAL has failed to enforce environmental conditions and demand the N2 alignment be moved away from the environmentally sensitive Pondoland Centre of Endemism. SECURITY USED AS INTIMIDATION Workers are threatened with dismissal for raising concerns over unpaid wages, while increased security is being used to silence dissent. Communities insist the project must be protected from political interference, corruption, looting and environmental destruction—not from the very people whose lives it affects

🇪🇬 Egypt’s coach dedicated his team’s World Cup win over Australia to the Palestinian people, after the Pharaohs advanced to the Round of 16 for the first time in their history, winning 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in regulation. “My heart and soul are with them,” coach Hossam Hassan said of Palestinians, praying that “God have mercy on their martyrs.” He added, “I dedicate this victory to the Egyptian people and to the good and generous Palestinian people.” Journalist Nahej Hajjaj filmed Palestinians celebrating the victory. Egypt next face the winner of Argentina v Cape Verde, where Argentina currently lead 1-0 through a Lionel Messi goal after 30 minutes.

Zack Polanski, "When I studied history at school. Tudors, Romans, a bit of WWII. I don't remember talking about empire or colonisation" Historian William Dalrymple, "It is possible to do at A'Levels modules on the British empire, but very few people do them" "Which means most British people are entirely ignorant for what is for better or worse the most important thing Britain ever did" "Britain drew it's empire, completely changed the face of the world over the course of 300-400 years" "Not only did they change it within a local European context, but they completely upended flows of global trade and eco-systems which had existed for millinia" "For most of history, India and China dominated the world economy, and Europe was an add-on" "They were producing about 70% of the world's GDP, that's still the case in the 18th century" "When we're looking at the world today, China already the world's number two economy, and India about to be number three overtaking Japan and Germany" "What we're seeing is a reversal of the trading system to a pr colonial period - it's taken 80 years since the British left India" "We're seeing the world recover form this brief blip where Europe smashed its way around the globe moving populations and natural resources around, looting some places, bringing wealth to Europe" "If you look at the big National Trust country houses, if it's a big palladian house, the sort you'd see in a Jane Austin Sunday night drama" "If it's on the east coast of the country, quite probably it was built by the East India company money, in other words the looting of India" "If it's on the west coast, near Liverpool or Bristol, it's more likely to be slave money, from the Caribbean" "These two sources of wealth brought capital into Britain, and cotton into Britain, which was then milled in the industrial revolution, which gave the seed capital for Britain to accelerate massively through the industrial revolution" "Which catapulted England from an upper middle position in Europe" "It transforms Britain and the world" "But what gives us great prosperity often detracted from the prosperity of the looted countries, or countries that have been plundered for enslaved people" "And it remains a strange quirk of our history system that we learn more about the wives of Henry VIII, than we do about the entirely looting of India, or the Caribbean slave trade" "Two crucial moments in Britain's and the world's history" "The reason we don't learn it, is because when the British empire ended, it became something people stopped talking about" "By the time you get to Monty Python in the 1970s or late 60s, the Empire is a joke"

Israel Sniped a 10-Day-Old Baby. Why is the West Silent? @PulaRJS doubledown.news/watch/2026/jun…

Israeli forces arrested a prominent 71-year-old Palestinian physician known as the “doctor of the poor” in a pre-dawn raid on his home in the occupied West Bank, prompting widespread condemnation. trib.al/Sz3szyi

A teenager holding a white flag shot down from a quadcopter in his own home. A newborn baby shot in the head while breastfeeding inside a tent. These are some of the horrific accounts of Israel’s targeting of Palestinian children from the UN’s latest report. @mehdirhasan shares:

Ayer, tras el partido entre Costa de Marfil 🇨🇮 y Curazao 🇨🇼, con triunfo de los africanos por 2-0, ambas selecciones nos regalaron uno de los momentos del año. Al finalizar el partido, jugadores de ambas selecciones se reunieron en ronda y, abrazados, compartieron algunas palabras de arenga mutua para cerrar con un rezo común. Una muestra más de la ENORME historia común que tienen África y América.

The UK could have stopped a genocidal massacre in Sudan’s El Fasher but failed to act over concerns it would anger the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a top war crimes expert has told Parliament. Human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond said he provided the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) with intelligence for more than two years warning that the fall of El Fasher would unleash “one of the single largest mass casualty events of the 21st century”. With his warnings ignored, more than 60,000 people were killed when the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) stormed the Northern Darfur state capital last October. The UN has since said the massacre showed “hallmarks of genocide”. Addressing parliament’s International Development Committee on Tuesday, Raymond said his team from the Yale School of Public Health believed the UK was its “best hope” for stopping the siege. But his team’s warnings were ignored despite two dozen private meetings with the office of then-foreign secretary David Lammy. He told MPs that Lammy’s officials prioritised the government’s “economic, security, and diplomatic relationships with the UAE” above “the genocidal slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians living in El Fasher and its surrounding communities”. As the sole penholder for Sudan at the United Nations Security Council, the UK is responsible for driving international response to the conflict. “They told me that the UK was facing significant private pressure behind the scenes from the UAE limiting its ability to affect the situation,” Raymond told MPs. “Direct sanctions against UAE officials, at minimum, could have been used to interdict the clandestine UAE pipeline of advanced weaponry flowing to the RSF,” he added. A UN report published Tuesday found that the RSF is responsible for 87% of verified incidents of rape and sexual slavery in Sudan, including el-Fasher, since the outbreak of violence in 2023. “The tragedy of El Fasher shows that advanced technology and analysis can provide leaders essential decision support information, but satellite data and computing power cannot by itself generate either political will or moral courage,” said Raymond.

The New York primary shows the future for the Democratic Party -- an end to unconditional aid to Israel, an end to complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza, apartheid and settlement expansion in the West Bank, endless occupation and war crimes. trib.al/Ucsr642

There’s more to the iPhone 17e than meets the eye. Like an advanced silicon chip that is said to be developed in Apple’s R&D centre in Israel. Al Jazeera’s Al Anoud Al Aqeedi explains.

Ms. Rachel: "Where have you been, leaders? Did you not see these kids as kids because of where they were born? 20,000 children killed. 151 starved to death. A quadcopter shooting a baby breastfeeding in a tent. Did you not think they had beating hearts like your kids? How can you go to sleep at night knowing you said nothing?"
