"It seems that these bricks get their red colour from the blood of the bonded labour." The spiraling debt trapping Pakistan's brick kiln workers... where generations are held hostage for a small loan that was taken out in need.
THREAD 👇 4.5 million people, including children, work in almost 20,000 brick kilns across Pakistan to pay off family loans taken from business owners. What was once a small loan ends up trapping generations into bonded labour. These are their stories: aje.io/z6bla

One year ago, a ceasefire was announced in Gaza. Today, Israel continues to: ⚫ Kill Palestinians and destroy civilian infrastructure ⚫ Restrict aid and cut essential services ⚫ Force people into an ever-shrinking space This is not a ceasefire, this is a genocide.

Pay attention to how propaganda is cobstructed: The US just deliberately bombed an Iranian wedding party, but somehow the BBC has managed to make Iran sound like the aggressor.

Israel has said that paper kites flown by Palestinian children will be treated as weapons of war. Read that again. This is the reality of genocide: the total destruction of innocence, freedom and joy. End all military cooperation with Israel, now.

If you left an empty seat for each person you’ve killed in Gaza, the stadium would be empty.
85 empty seats. This Sunday, millions of fans will gather to cheer for their national teams in the FIFA World Cup Final. But 85 voices from Argentina will be missing. They belong to the victims of the 1994 AMIA terrorist bombing in Buenos Aires, an attack planned by the Iranian regime and carried out by Hezbollah. Behind every terrorist attack are lives stolen and futures cut short. We remember. We stand against terror. Always.

A study has found that major UK media outlets, including BBC, Sky News, and The Guardian, often downplay Israeli violations and portray Palestinians in dehumanizing ways in their coverage of the Gaza Strip. According to the findings, the BBC in particular has frequently avoided explicitly naming Israel as responsible in reports on civilian casualties since 2023.
