Fossil fuel price shocks are redistribution shocks.
Last time, we warned windfall profits would benefit the ultra-rich at the expense of everyone else.
This time, there is no excuse. The numbers are in. We need windfall profit taxes & multilateral price caps now.

This Ramadan, which ends today, the Israeli assault on Palestinian identity and culture in Jerusalem reached a new level.
Even before the month began, Israel issued restraining orders, barring several key religious figures, journalists and residents from al-Aqsa Mosque. Since the start of the year, more than 260 Palestinians have been denied entry to the mosque compound pursuant to such orders.
On Fridays during the month of Ramadan, Israel blocked major roads leading to the Old City and al-Aqsa Mosque, and thousands of police officers and soldiers deployed to the area restricted the entry of worshippers.
Israel also prohibited bringing iftar meals, ending the daily fast, into the al-Aqsa compound, and did not allow displaying the traditional Ramadan decorations in the Old City.
When the Israeli-American attack on Iran began, Israeli authorities banned the entry of worshippers to al-Aqsa Mosque and to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre altogether. Entry to the Old City was also restricted, with only local residents permitted in.
Israel ordered an overwhelming majority of Palestinian shop owners to shut down, financially hurting hundreds of families and thousands of people.
Israel imposed severe restrictions on the entry of worshippers from Israel and East Jerusalem to al-Aqsa Mosque in 2024 and 2025 as well, as a result of which, in 2025, the number of Muslim worshippers at the compound was less than half the number a decade earlier.
The assault on Palestinian culture and identity is not confined to Jerusalem. It takes place throughout the territory under Israeli control: in the West Bank, the military violently raids and desecrates mosques. Meanwhile, settler militias vandalize and set mosques on fire.
As part of the genocide in the Gaza Strip, Israel has systematically destroyed religious and cultural institutions, heritage and archaeological sites, libraries and museums.
The Israeli attack on heritage sites, tradition, and the daily fabric of Palestinian life in Jerusalem is meant to knock out yet another pillar sustaining Palestinian identity and to further the Israeli regime’s attempt to destroy Palestinian society.

Does this cruelty ring a bell @bundeskanzler ? Continuing to arm and support Israel which refuses to reign in these and other assaults will not go down well in history.
CNN International@cnni
Israeli settlers have increasingly used violence against Palestinians in a bid to drive them from their homes in the occupied West Bank. But sexual assault appears to be a new weapon in these settlers’ arsenal of intimidation, pointing to a troubling new level of violence. cnn.it/4du8vj6

“All detainees were subjected to starvation, sensory deprivation, and stress positions.”
To repeat: Israel tortures 100% of Palestinians in its Sde Teiman rape & torture dungeon.
Breaking the Silence@BtSIsrael
In the only Sde Teiman case investigated, with video evidence and a Palestinian detainee left with severe injuries, including rectal damage, the charges were dropped. It’s only that Sde Teiman is a torture camp. We know this from the soldier testimonies we have collected 🧵

Israel is preparing to deploy the “Gaza model” in Lebanon in plain sight — mass ethnic cleansing, annihilation of entire cities and villages, long-term occupation, and perhaps eventually Israeli settlements and annexation.

Israel exposes its new "security" doctrine, grounded in international crimes.
To avoid being dragged into a guerrilla war, "this time it seizes territory and removes the population, thereby ensuring full freedom of action", explains Prof Y Levy openly.

Day after day, after day, after day we read of Israeli war crimes. When will you do your utmost to put an end to the EU's complicity by not applying sanctions required by EU and international law? @vonderleyen @kajakallas @prevotmaxime

🧵 After their home was bombed, they tried to crawl towards a hospital to save their wounded brother. Israeli soldiers shot them one by one, then shot their mother as she tried to call for help. A new investigation by Euro-Med Monitor documents the killing of siblings from the Al-Awaini family in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. Full story ⬇️

Bombing a hospital or a school isn't a "miscalculation."
Killing a paramedic isn't "collateral damage."
Starving civilians isn't "negotiating tactic."
These are war crimes. Full stop.
Call it what it is.

Batoul Hamdan had just finished iftar when Israel dropped a bomb on her home, killing her two small children, her siblings and her parents -- wiping out three generations instantly.
Entire families are being wiped out by Israel's war in Lebanon.

Famine is no longer a warning in Gaza. It has begun. This morning, meat and frozen foods vanished from the markets as if swept away by an invisible hand. The shelves that once carried even the humblest necessities now stand bare, like silent witnesses to a growing calamity. What little food remains has become painfully expensive. Vegetable prices have risen within a matter of hours. A kilogram of potatoes, which yesterday could be bought for 4 shekels, now costs 18. Tomatoes, once sold for 5 shekels, now demand 23. Such numbers, simple as they may seem, tell a tragic story. They measure not commerce but suffering. At the same time, families approach the final days of Ramadan under a weight that grows heavier with each passing hour. Men and women move through the markets in quiet circles, searching, calculating, hoping to stretch what little remains in their pockets. They think of their children. They think of the coming days of Eid. And in their hearts they ask the same silent question: how will we endure? For parents here, even the smallest things have become a cause for worry. A piece of bread. A tomato. A meal that must somehow be shared. These are not ordinary price increases. They are the first clear signs of a society being pushed, slowly and relentlessly, toward hunger. And hunger, when it spreads through a people, is never merely a lack of food. It is the shadow that falls over dignity, hope, and the fragile peace of the human home. #WoundedGaza
