This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

Israel has now approved life sentences for 12 year olds

Pay attention: New York Times can continue to mislead people by refusing to describe either what policies it is talking about or what evidence it has that they aren’t popular. Think about what it says that an editor doesn’t require a reporter to support this assertion:
Copaganda 101: the New York Times suggests without evidence (and contrary to actual polling evidence) that “left-leaning views” on public safety “have become less popular.” It’s a neat sleight of hand where the news doesn’t actually tell us what those mystery positions are.
ALT While many of his progressive rivals in the race have adopted more centrist positions on certain issues like policing and public safety, Mr. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, continues to embrace left-leaning views that have become less popular with voters in New York.

“Rape was mainly done by Israeli female officers inserting objects into the genitals of detainees. We have also documented a case of gang rape by two different soldiers, twice, on a woman in a detention center. She said she was filmed during the assault.”
Kifeya Khraim from the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counseling (WCLAC), a Palestinian NGO, testified at the UN Commission of Inquiry hearing about Palestinian women facing systematic sexual violence and intimidation by Israeli forces, including threats to remain silent after abuse.
She described cases of sexual violence at checkpoints and during Israeli home invasions, where women were forced to strip and perform humiliating acts in front of soldiers.
Khraim also highlighted how the lack of knowledge and legal definitions makes it difficult for women to identify sexual violence. “We have women telling us that inspection devices were inserted inside them without being able to identify that as rape or sexual violence.”

🔴 40% of the 600+ Palestinians Israel has killed in the last 72 hours are reported to be under the age of 14.

Morgan McMonagle is Consultant Vascular and Trauma Surgeon at the HSE South Hospital Group (Waterford) and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
He’s currently working at Nasser Hospital in the Khan Yunis area of Gaza, and with the resumption of attacks by Israel, has told #TodayCB what he’s witnessed on the ground.

This move accomplished a few things:
–raised salience of migration in campaign
–implied Trump is right on the merits about his #1 issue
–muddled Dem message
–made Dems look like backtracking phonies post 'kids in cages' and 'stupid wall'
What it didn't do?
–win over any voters

For the rest of their lives, in every room into which they walk, Matt Miller and Antony Blinken will know that people of good will and conscience have grounds to regard them as mass murderers of children, as the people who enabled a genocide.

Equis’ @carlosodio & @stephanievalenc on immediate Latino analysis:
“Blaming the outcome of this election on the Hispanic electorate is simply not supported by the electoral math in the Blue Wall states. To say otherwise is not only irresponsible, it is bad political analysis.”

US lawmakers are trying to prevent official UN investigator for genocide in Gaza @FranceskAlbs from speaking in the US, right before she presents her findings to the UN. They don’t want Americans to hear the evidence
I am deeply disappointed that various western governments and diplomats appear to have been misled by spurious, recycled allegations against me, just as I prepare to present my latest report to the #UNGA next week. I am profoundly committed to human rights for all people - how could I ever be an antisemite?? Critique of Israel's actions and policies does not render one antisemitic, especially as Israel continues to commit atrocities without respite. If these governments are truly committed to international law, they ought to focus [not on false claims made about me, but] on ending the illegal and catastrophic situation in occupied Palestine. Never again means never again for everyone - including the Palestinian people.

Newly revealed bodycam footage shows Atlanta Police higher-ups conspiring to fabricate felony charges against protesters because they were part of a group which opposed Cop City.

There is absolutely nothing that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can do -- no death toll high enough, no amount of footage of scattered limbs and dead children -- that will change the liberal mind into believing they are not the "lesser evil." For liberals, the lesser evil is simply the one more capable of leading the empire with a facade of decorum on the world stage. It is not the crime that liberals oppose, but how it's packaged.

The State Department has an explicit statutory obligation under the Leahy Law to evaluate information related to gross violations of human rights like the murders alleged here.
There is no provision for delegating that evaluation to the country of the security forces implicated.

Six Israeli & US officials tell Politico that the White House encouraged Israel to invade Lebanon, that they had to be quiet about it for PR purposes (good work on that), and that this sparked opposition from within the Pentagon, State & intel agencies.

Wow. It’s 2024 and I’ve just had to crawl along the floor of this LOT Polish airline to get to the toilet during a flight back from Warsaw as “we don’t have onboard wheelchairs. It’s airline policy”. If you’re disabled and you can’t walk this is just discriminatory.
