Shocking news from Kyiv: 'war' in Ukraine now lasted longer than World War 1. kyivpost.com/post/77991

Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine is Now Longer than WWI – Five Things to Know

Russia in WWI is similar but not identical to Russia invading Ukraine right now. Expecting Bolsheviks in the Winter Palace is premature, but in 2026 some precursors are pretty visible.

"Our school is destroyed, there's nothing left." - Roa’a, 12, West Bank, State of Palestine. Her dreams of graduating grade 6 were shattered when her school - a place she loved to learn and play at with her friends - was reduced to rubble by settlers and Israeli forces. There have been 99 documented education-related incidents in 2026 alone, including the killing, injury and detention of students, the demolition of schools, military use of school buildings, and denial of access. Watch and share Roa'a's story.

Israel is running a network of torture camps for Palestinians. Our reports, Welcome to Hell and Hell on Earth, extensively documented a reality of extreme violence, starvation, and torture. Now, in a major @nytimes investigation, journalist @NickKristof published terrible testimonies concerning sexual violence and the use of sodomy as a tool of interrogation and humiliation by Israeli forces. Palestinian prisoners are subjected to severe violence, deliberate humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical care, and abuse in every facility where they are held. These abusive practices are fully backed by the political leadership, which openly boasts about the harsh prison conditions. Some inmates are subjected to severe sexual assaults. At least 88 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention facilities since October 2023 as a result of inhumane conditions, violence, starvation, and the denial of medical treatment. Despite the extensive evidence, media investigations, and reports issued by Israeli and international organizations documenting torture in Israeli prisons, the international community continues to stand by and allow Israel to commit crimes against the Palestinian people.

Absolute must read. You don’t just need gas chambers to commit genocide. Level the homes, poison the water, erase the hospitals—make human survival impossible. “All they will find is sand” isn’t a metaphor, it’s a strategic plan to erase a civilisation lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n07/…

There are 5,000 amputees in Gaza as a result of Israel’s genocide. One quarter of them are children—the largest population of child amputees in the world. And the Israeli military is using its siege to block prostheses.
