“As a Palestinian, I am the direct subject of Zionism. I’m an expert on it, in fact, because it is practised on my body” Mohammed El-Kurd defines Zionism in under 5 minutes. He says everything that needs to be said👇

Israeli settlers stole a donkey from a Palestinian farmer - and dragged it behind a vehicle until it died. Footage shows the animal struggling as it's pulled. Israeli settlers have once again proven that there is no bottom to their inhumanity.

An Israeli settler beat elderly, disabled Palestinian Sheikh Saeed Al Amour on the back with a metal pole after trying to force his way into his home in Masafer Yatta. Saeed lost his leg after settlers reportedly shot him in 2025.

"Prometí aprobar una ley de pena de muerte para los palestinos y lo hice, ahora estoy construyendo una instalación para ejecutarlos, pondré cámaras y se podrá ver cómo mueren en directo". Itamar Ben Gvir, ministro genocida de "Israel", está construyendo campos de exterminio para palestinos, donde pondrá cámaras para ver como los ejecutan en directo y permitirá visitas para presenciar sus muertes. Este criminal es la reencarnación de Hitler, un psicópata histórico que quiere convertir la muerte de los palestinos en un show público sádico.

This is what Israel did and the world watched for three years. “I did a leg amputation on a 5-year-old girl, and the only anesthesia that we had was the anesthesia doctor singing to her……She stayed awake the whole amputation.” Read that again.

Two brothers with no escape or anywhere to go, enduring the full force of Israeli bombing. A state of panic no child should ever be in.

Physicians for Human Rights Israel has warned that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, is now in immediate danger of being killed in Israeli occupation custody. His lawyer, Nasser Odeh, who visited him on 2 July at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility inside Nitzan Prison, said he barely recognized him. Dr. Abu Safiya was brought in shackled hand and foot, flanked by masked guards, his head, eyes, ears and neck covered in fresh injuries. He struggled to breathe and speak, could not sit upright without nearly collapsing, and seemed close to losing consciousness, too frightened to speak freely. He told his lawyer that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard in June, guards entered his solitary cell and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his transfer to Rakefet on 24 June he has been beaten daily to the point of repeatedly losing consciousness, with no medical care. He said plainly: this is the last time you will see me, they brought me here to kill me. Held since December 2024 under the occupation's "Unlawful Combatants" law, without charge or trial, Dr. Abu Safiya saw his beatings escalate sharply only after he legally challenged his detention, and both his lawyer and PHRI are demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination and his release, warning that any delay could cost him his life.

“They brought me here to kill me. I don't see myself surviving. This is the end.” These are the words of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the paediatrician who ran Gaza's last children's hospital. He has been held without charge by Israel for over 18 months, alongside at least 13 other Palestinian doctors from Gaza. His lawyers say he has been held in solitary confinement, beaten, starved, and denied medical care. He is now in life-threatening danger and requires urgent hospitalisation. Silence is complicity. @YvetteCooperMP must demand his immediate release and urgent medical treatment NOW.

He has had an emergency decompressive hemicraniectomy, left-sided, where the likely dominant brain side is damaged forever. He will probably never be able to speak again, and never be able to feel and move the right side of his body. At his age, the reason for that is most likely a mass intracranial hemorrhage and swelling due to severe head trauma. He must have also spent a long time in a coma, hence the tracheostomy. This is, without much room for doubt, the face of a tortured man who has barely survived an emergency procedure, which in normal circumstances would be extremely uncommon for someone his age - and whose quality of life has been reduced to almost zero forever.

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number. When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion. You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

Israel killed Mona Khalil in South Lebanon. On June 6, they dropped a bomb on her home in Mansouri — flattening it. Mona, an environmental activist, dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles along Lebanon’s coast. She died of her injuries today.

Despite spending time in Belgium and later France under quarantine and medical screening measures to ensure they had not contracted Ebola, not a single DR Congo supporter traveling from Kinshasa was granted a U.S. visa for the World Cup. Among them was Michel Nkuka Mboladinga, better known as “Lumumba,” an iconic Leopards supporter who became one of the most recognizable faces of AFCON 2025. Since the start of this tournament, we have been witnessing clear bias against African countries embedded in visa and immigration systems.

Some of those women gave everything so you could sit in that chair, and you repay them by rewriting and erasing their stories, to give cover for genocide. Absolutely pathetic.
The Lady Chief Justice: Palestine Action was not a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes, but used violence to destroy property The suffragettes burned down country houses & train stations, bombed churches & sent letter bombs to politicians.

Today’s ruling to uphold the UK government's proscription of Palestine Action is a travesty of justice. One by one, the very foundations of our democracy are being destroyed — all to oil the wheels of British complicity in genocide. Our government has participated in the mass murder of Palestinians. That is the real crime, and we must bring about justice.

This is absolutely insane. The suffragettes used far more extreme tactics than Palestine Action. They planted bombs, burned down private homes and smashed up art galleries. They killed five people! Her outrageous judgement is based on absurd historical ignorance.
