I just checked who covered the historic mass funeral of 112 Palestinians in Gaza killed by Israel. CNN? Nowhere. MSNBC? Silent. Fox News? Crickets. BBC? Radio silence. 112 bodies. One mass funeral. Zero Western media coverage. Journalism didn’t die. It just decided some mass funerals aren’t newsworthy.

A fetus in the rubble. Their bombs incinerate mothers with babies in their wombs. Remember the “40 beheaded babies” and “babies in ovens” lie? This is what they do every single day, even after the “ceasefire”.

📽️ On the Makdisi Street podcast, Ta-Nehisi Coates points to Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill and his interview with Rep. Ro Khanna to highlight how dominant political and media narratives restrict what even progressives understand about Palestine. Coates recounts Scahill pressing Khanna on whether Palestinians have the right to attack soldiers and military bases of an occupying power. Khanna refused to grant the right, invoking King and Gandhi, even as he conceded that Israel’s US-backed assault amounts to genocide. Coates reads Khanna’s evasions as ignorance rather than malice, arguing that he seemed unaware the issue of resistance to occupation has long been settled under international law. “Our greatest weakness,” Coates says, “is just how little we know.” 🔗 Full episode linked in reply.

The Destruction of Childhood in Gaza Israel’s genocide has destroyed Gaza’s schools, forcing children into labour, trauma and a daily struggle for survival. Restoring education is essential to protecting a generation from permanent harm Another powerful, painful piece by Rida Thabet in Gaza for @PDeepDive👇 palestinedeepdive.com/p/the-destruct…

Dangerous 700-ton explosion by Israel destroys part of UNESCO-listed Beaufort Castle in south Lebanon —— ▪ Israeli occupation forces detonated an estimated 700 tons of explosives beneath the UNESCO-listed Shaqif (Beaufort) Castle in Arnoun overnight, in what the military and prime minister's office claimed was an operation targeting an alleged Hezbollah tunnel network beneath the site. ▪ The massive underground explosion was heard across southern Lebanon, including Saida and Iqlim al-Kharroub, while dust blanketed parts of Nabatieh and the blast shattered windows in homes across nearby towns and villages, according to local residents. ▪ The nearly 900-year-old Crusader-era fortress, one of southern Lebanon's most important archaeological landmarks, has been repeatedly targeted by Israel since 1982. ▪ Lebanon's Directorate General of Antiquities has previously rejected Israeli claims that the site contained Hezbollah infrastructure, calling Israeli maps and videos fabricated, while noting the fortress has been under Lebanese state administration since 2000 and has enhanced protection under the 1954 Hague Convention. ▪ Lebanese Culture Minister Ghassan Salame recently welcomed UNESCO's decision to place Beaufort Castle on its List of World Heritage in Danger, warning it remained at risk after the destruction of Shamaa Castle. ▪Lebanese geologists have also warned that demolitions of this scale near major fault lines could potentially trigger human-induced seismic activity, noting the 700-ton blast far exceeded a 400-ton Israeli demolition in Odaisseh in 2024 that prompted earthquake alerts across northern occupied Palestine and the occupied West Bank. (Al-Manar)

The amount of evilness in this room is incalculable.

So remember the settler who was killed in the attack on a Palestinian village on Friday? The one they said was killed by a Palestinian? The IDF now admits he was killed by friendly fire. Israel kills everyone including their own.

It is absolutely astonishing what Israel has been able to achieve in the West in the last 24-48 hours. First, they made the US announce they will give Saudi Arabia nuclear technologies and materials, only to then condition it on joining the Open Zionist Whore Program, aka 'Abraham Accords'. Second, they passed a legislation in the House of Representatives in the US that will make the US military a subdivision of the IDF. Third, they got France and the UK to support the expansion of the war against Iran, with both countries evacuating their diplomatic staff from Tehran. Fourth, they installed a new puppet in Britain that immediately quadrupled the UK's involvement in this war: yes to use of British bases everywhere; a reported yes to participating in demining the Persian Gulf, and what looks like a general agreement to support the war effort in every way possible. This is only the 5% of that we can publicly see; imagine all the other 95%. We live in an entirely, 100% Israeli-made theater production. Every event and every news coverage have been carefully curated to advance Israel's ambitions. The power that this country has, 3 years into the worst televised catastrophe in human history, is simply staggering. It is almost unnatural, almost supernatural (only it's not). It also tells us that we're very close to the end. They are rushing like this because all the windows and doors are closing. They have to be visibly awkward, hasty and clumsy. They have to expose themselves. The one power that won't play along according to the provided script is proving an insurmountable obstacle, and the whole house of cards is shaking, and soon will come down. Israel's unnatural power over the West will be the doom of both. Because Khamenei and his people saw all this 40 years ago, and they prepared like no one ever prepared for anything (after milenia of civilizational self-reliance, independence, and dignity). I don't know why anyone watches any dumb movie. Reality now is arguably the most fascinating thing ever put up

⭕️ Al Jazeera Undercover investigation exposes UK and Canadian funding of illegal Israeli settlements An undercover investigation by @AJ_Investigates says it has uncovered evidence that charities and donors in the United Kingdom and Canada are helping channel tax-deductible donations to Israeli settler organizations in the occupied West Bank, despite laws prohibiting charitable funds from supporting illegal settlements. Posing as prospective donors, Al Jazeera’s undercover reporter was allegedly told by pro-settler organisations that donations could be routed through registered charities before being used to expand settlements, campaign for the demolition of Palestinian homes, and provide military-grade equipment, including drones, to settlers. 🔗 Watch the full investigation by Al Jazeera below 👇

This is a non-answer. Mamdani cannot arrest Netanyahu (The United States is not a party to the Rome Statute, foreign affairs are a federal matter, etc.) Moreover, as a sitting prime minister, Netanyahu has a strong claim to immunity ratione personae before U.S. courts. If Mamdani wants to take tangible action within the bounds of his office, he could easily urge Attorney General and other relevant authorities to go after New York-registered tax-exempt organizations that funnel tens of millions of US dollars into Israeli settler expansion and violence every year (not niche, irrelevant orgs like Betar that are discredited by even the ADL, but consequential organizations like the Smotrich-founded Regavim, or the Israel Land Fund). Why won't he do that?

Here's what really happened on October 7th... 1. 07 OCTOBER 2022. Israeli forces opened fire on a group of Palestinian children near the Apartheid wall in Qalqiliya, killing a 14-year-old boy with live ammunition (UN OCHA report) 2. 07 OCTOBER 2021. Israeli settlers from the Telem settlement cut down more than 100 olive seedlings on Palestinian-owned land in Turqumiya, Hebron, belonging to 'Aziz Jamil Ja'afrah — the same land where settlers had uprooted trees the year before. (PCHR, 7–13 Oct 2021) Israeli forces raided at least nine homes overnight and arrested eleven people, including a father and son together (Wadi al-Far'a, Tubas) and a 16-year-old (Adham Abu Srour, Dawha), without charge.

Settlers from the Yitzhar settlement cut down 36 olive trees overnight in Burin village (Nablus). Later that morning, settlers from the same settlement attacked Burin's mixed school under military protection, forcing the administration to evacuate students. In order to prevent Palestinians from leaving their homes during Jewish holiday, Israel began a full closure of the Tunnel, 300, al-Jeeb, and Hizma checkpoints (separating Jerusalem from Bethlehem and nearby areas) for three days during Yom Kippur, alongside closures of Arab village/neighborhood entrances with iron barriers and cement blocks, preventing anyone from accessing school, work, or medical facilities during that time. 5. 07 OCTOBER 2018.

Israeli forces arrested without charge a 44-year-old man, Naser al-Jundi, at a checkpoint set up at the entrance to Al Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron. Israeli gunboats twice opened fire on Palestinian fishing boats off Beit Lahia and al-Sudaniya (northern Gaza), chasing them; no injuries or damage reported. Israeli forces stationed along the Gaza perimeter fence near Umm al-Nasser Bedouin village opened sporadic fire and fired flare bombs into the border area, terrorizing residents. Israeli forces conducted six additional home invasions without arrests in al-Samou', Bani Na'im, Sa'ir, and al-Jalajel (Hebron) and Bedia and Masha (Salfit). Temporary military checkpoints were set up at Halhoul and al-Dahiriya (Hebron), four locations around Qalqiliya, and three in Salfit, further restricting Palestinian movement. That night, hundreds of Israeli settlers entered 'Awerta village (Nablus) under military protection to perform religious rituals in Palestinian towns. 7. 07 OCTOBER 2016. Israeli forces raided homes in Sabastiya (Nablus) and Nour al-Shams refugee camp (Tulkarm) overnight, arresting five people without charge. Israeli forces entered al-Far'a refugee camp (Tubas); when young men gathered and threw stones, soldiers fired live rounds, hitting three civilians.

Weekly Friday protests in Bil'in, Ni'lin, al-Nabi Saleh, and Kafr Qaddum were attacked with live fire, rubber bullets, tear gas, and sound bombs; in Bil'in, soldiers assaulted a farmer trying to reach his own field and confiscated his vehicle. In Gaza, Israeli forces opened fire on young men gathered near the perimeter fence in solidarity with Jerusalem (Shuja'iya and al-Bureij), wounding two with live rounds. Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian olive pickers from Yasouf village (Salfit) while they worked their land. Dozens of settlers, escorted by Israeli forces, entered Ta'nak village (Jenin) to pray at a religious site; soldiers closed the village's main street to secure the visit, locking thousands of Palestinians in their homes. Checkpoints went up on the Tarusah village road (west of Dura) and at Hebron's southern entrance (al-Fahes), further restricting Palestinian movement. 8. 07 OCTOBER 2015. An Israeli settler shot a Palestinian girl from Sur Baher four times in Jerusalem's Old City; Israeli forces claimed she had stabbed him, an account PCHR notes it could not independently verify. Hundreds of Bir Zeit University students and other civilians protested near a checkpoint and settlement outside al-Bireh; Israeli forces fired live ammunition, wounding ten (eight by live fire), while undercover Israeli units embedded in the crowd violently kidnapped three students — one shot in the leg, another shot in the head and left in serious condition. Israeli forces raided homes across Hebron governorate overnight, kidnapping at least 16 people, including a 12-year-old (Amir Abu Romouz) and a 13-year-old (Nasim al-Teiti), in Hebron city, Dura, Halhoul, and Al Fawwar and Al Arroub refugee camps. Israeli forces raided two homes in Nablus, arresting two men without charge. Soldiers occupied an uninhabited home in Halhoul, raised an Israeli flag over it, and briefly operated a checkpoint from the site before withdrawing but continuing to occupy the house. This was the seventh consecutive day Nablus remained under a full Israeli military cordon (imposed since October 1 as collective punishment), with the Huwwara, Jeet, al-Naqoura, and Deir Sharaf checkpoints all tightened, denying and delaying movement for residents. IT GOES ON LIKE THIS EVERY DAY OF EVERY YEAR AS FAR BACK AS YOU LOOK

Video showing real face of zionists Zionists set fire to the house of a prominent Jewish anti-Zionist activist in Mea Shearim, a Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem, while his family was inside the house The only crime of this family was that they were religious and opposed Zionism and Israel.
