EXCLUSIVE: U.S. troops told us what the Pentagon hasn’t: destroyed aircraft, bombed barracks, families left behind in Bahrain, troops digging their own foxholes. Never-before-seen photos and video from the Middle East. My latest with @MeidasTouch and @ValorMediaNet: meidasnews.com/news/so-much-…

Israel está preparando un ataque masivo a plantas eléctricas, instalaciones nucleares, infraestructura petrolera y objetivos militares en Irán. Mientras tanto Teherán advirtió que cualquier ofensiva, ya sea conjunta o separada de Estados Unidos e Israel va a ser considerada como una guerra total y que van a responder sin ningún tipo de límite ni contención. Netanyahu está presionando para atacar antes de las elecciones israelíes que son en días y Donald Trump lo está frenando para que no aumente el precio de la energía antes de los comicios estadounidenses de noviembre. Mientras ellos discuten sus conveniencias y pretensiones electorales, están preparando una maniobra criminal que va a hacer colapsar la región. Estamos ante la aproximación de una guerra con un nivel de violencia y brutalidad con pocos precedentes en los últimos años. No hay dudas que Netanyahu va a hacer todo lo que esté a su alcance para destrozar Medio Oriente incluso si tiene que arrastrar a todo su pueblo y al planeta entero para eso. Cada día que pasa se confirma que el Primer Ministro israelí es el mayor enemigo de la humanidad.

Israeli settlements have massively expanded in the occupied West Bank under the current Israeli government – along with a major spike in violent attacks on Palestinians. @JDiamond1 reports on how the government has allowed this and whether elections could prompt any change.

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

Britain cannot continue to arm Israel while claiming to oppose its genocide of the Palestinian people. I joined UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese & others in Westminster to discuss the need for stronger action against the Israeli regime. Limited sanctions are not enough while Britain continues to provide Israel with military & political support. Sinn Féin has called for a full arms embargo, serious sanctions on Israel & an end to British support for the illegal occupation of Palestine. The British government must be held to account for its role in enabling Israel’s actions against the Palestinian people 🇵🇸

It's almost a year since we met @s_m_marandi in Tehran . The world is a very different place now. Life is hard but US empire has been exposed like neevr before. Iran stands proud, while world economy reels. The new world is being born.youtu.be/fMzbXE6_oGU?is=Fw6j…

This beautifully written cri de coeur is inspired by an “exilic vision” of equality, an alternative Jewish tradition, resistant to nationalism and rooted in solidarity with others. theguardian.com/books/2026/o…

Maybe talking about the great speech you wrote, and complaining that you feel insulted isn't the best response to the grief and anger of the families of Fort Calata, Matthew Goniwe, Sparrow Mkhonto and Sicelo Mhlauli?
TRC CASES INQUIRY | Former President Thabo Mbeki says he prepared his Cradock Four funeral speech on the eve of the funeral, describing claims that they betrayed the Cradock Four as an insult. He was concluding his statement at the Khampepe Commission of Inquiry.

Those who go on propaganda trips funded by SA Zionists never seem to see this. 🤡

Netanyahu’s father was born in Poland. His grandfather was born in Russia. Their family name is originally Mileikowsky.
Netanyahu tells Mark Levin that Europeans—not Jews—are colonizers: "We are not on stolen land, this is our historical homeland!" "We're the indigenous people here—we're not the Dutch in Indonesia!" "We're Jews from Judea!" "We're not trying to drive anyone out!" he adds.

I saw the film NAZA last night. I’m not going to say go see it. because it is a tragically devastating movie. If you’re an empathic person who despises the mass murder of children (like me) you will feel even worse. The people who need to see it, won’t because they don’t care.
