Leb PM who has been a big critic of Hez says on the country’s Liberation and Resistance Day : ‘we will not celebrate it until the day of Israel's complete withdrawal from our land and the safe and dignified return of our people to it’

لنجعل من مناسبة "عيد المقاومة والتحرير" هذا العام، يوم تضامن مع عائلات الشـهداء ومع الجرحى والأسرى والنازحين وأهلنا الصامدين في الجنوب والقرى الأماميّة. أما العيد فلن نستعيده إلا يوم انسحاب اسرائيل الكامل من ارضنا وعودة اهلنا إليها بأمان وكرامة.

@PeterTatchell Peter, you’re not falling for this performative nonsense are you? Or equating what Hamas did on October 7 and in their dungeons with a few wannabes held for a few hours and deported? Come on …
English
Israeli regime is rapist, just like Hamas
Peaceful Gaza flotilla activists delivering humanitarian aid sexual assaulted & raped by Israelis while in detention
Many hospitalised with horrific injuries inflicted by Israelis
Israel acts like police state

@yvonneridley @WP_Scotland It’s amazing that you know so little about the region you spend so much of your life obsessing about. Your hatred of Jews has made you stupid.
English
Now to all the two state solution advocates - look at this map & stop lying. There is no two state solution. Israel was never serious about two states. Follow & join the @WP_Scotland where we believe in one state, one solution and one Palestine. It worked for centuries and can work again. x.com/NihiloX/status…

@EthanforMD That’s a total lie. At least 25,000 Hamas soldiers no? What is this 83% nonsense.
English
What's happening in Gaza is a genocide and moral emergency with legal dimensions, political causes, and a congressional remedy. 75,000 dead. 83% civilians per IDF data. U.S. weapons. Leahy Law ignored. ICJ ruling unenforced.
The moment to act is not later. It's now.
English
@NYCMayor They already pay property tax and common charges, no? So already paying for services they don’t use and employing people who live in New York. Seems to me they pay a fair share already.
English
Our new pied-à-terre tax will have the ultra-wealthy elite — those who own $5 million apartments in New York City but don’t actually live here — pay their fair share.
English
@xIsraelExposedx Cosplaying idiots covering for Hamas rapists and torturers and murderers and hostage takers. Orwell would be proud. “Concentration camp”. Just the most despicable people. Lying. And no use to actual Palestinians who want a better life.

@TadhgHickey Of course. Iran and Hamas and Hizbollah and the Houthis and Russia and North Korea and … none of these are barriers. Just Israel. You vile antisemite. Nothing changes.
English
Israel is the single biggest barrier to global peace & justice.
English
@HumanSoTired These cosplaying idiots do nothing for Palestinians who want a better life. Just giving cover to Hamas and play acting. They weren’t bringing aid. They weren’t brutalized. They’re just lying.
English
They think this makes them look less psychopathic. It doesn't.
Israel Foreign Ministry@IsraelMFA
It’s a miracle! Thank God, the flotilla anarchist made a full recovery in no time 🤣

@GerryAdamsSF Not surprising you’re prepared to defend those who carried out October 7, with rape and torture and murder and hostage taking. What happened to Jean McConville?
English
@Frances_Coppola It’s pretty clear to most people Rachel is a very decent human being.
English
I've deleted my first post about Rachel Moiselle's tweet. I had only seen the screenshot, so did not know the context. I now know she was not alleging that Palestinians wanted to be raped by dogs. She was arguing that Palestinians couldn't have been raped by dogs, because in all the cases of penetration by dogs in medical literature, the human wanted it.
So she's not saying Palestinians are sexual perverts. She's saying they are liars.
And for that reason, this isn't an apology. She's a scumbag.
English
@nikicaga Left Sinai made peace with Egypt. Left Gaza in 2005. Made peace with Jordan. Problem is Hamas and Hizbollah. Disaster for Palestinians and Lebanese.
English
@AlexCrawfordSky Hizbollah attacked Israel after October 7. Why? And why didn’t UNIFIL keep them north of the Litani as they were supposed to? Brought this on themselves. Sad for Lebanese people who just want to get on with their lives.
English
Israeli think tank Alma which monitors border attacks found Hezbollah had carried out 384 total attack waves since the so-called ‘ceasefire’ on April 17.
316 of those were on IDF forces inside S Lebanon. 68 attacks were against Israeli territory. Alma noted 1 civilian was killed and 7 Israeli soldiers were killed in this period.
In Lebanon, the Govt lists 675 deaths includ women and children in same period (since April 17) Twenty of those killed were medics. During a ‘ceasefire’ - a dramatic diff in proportionality and impact
Oliver Misher@OliverMisher
@SkyNews @AlexCrawfordSky I like the very English way @AlexCrawfordSky built up her report. For 99% of it, she talked about how Israel is not respecting the ceasefire & then, in 1 very short sentence, like she ticks a box, she said, ‘Oh, by the way, Hezbollah has launched rockets into Israel.’
English
@richardpbacon @ZacGoldsmith Hamas is being too hard on Palestinians in Gaza. Have been since 87. A disaster. Mainly for Palestinians but also for Israelis who want peace.
English
Just on a straightforward human level @ZacGoldsmith
Do you think Israel is being too hard on these people?
UN News@UN_News_Centre
Dire conditions in Gaza marked by continuing violence, rodent infestations and the spread of infectious disease are being made worse by blockages of essential medical supplies, UN agencies said on Friday. news.un.org/en/story/2026/…

@camkasky The purity demanded from the people obsessed with israel rots your brain. Ben Gvir has six seats. Reviled by many in Israel. Your lies do nothing to help people who want better for Palestinians and Israelis.
English
To suggest that Ben-Gvir does not represent Israel is either ill-informed or totally dishonest.
Ben-Gvir says what the majority of Israeli lawmakers and voters are thinking. They detest him not for his monstrous, inhuman beliefs, but for the damage he does to their PR.
Ami Dar@AmiDar
When Ben-Gvir was 18, the IDF refused to draft him for his compulsory military service because his politics were too extreme. 30 years later, Netanyahu appointed him Minister of National Security, in charge of the police and the prisons. Netanyahu knew exactly what he was doing.

@Heccles94 How’s it going with your “hope” candidate for the by election? Is it possible critics of Greens as infiltrated by hard left antisemites is not so off the mark after all?
English
Wes Streeting is pitching as the left of Burnham which shows you three things:
1) Streeting cannot be trusted
2) Burnham is not left wing
3) There is no hope coming from Labour
English
@jeremycorbyn Save the lives? Starved? What are you talking about. These cosplaying nobodies are just egotists inserting themselves into a conflict they know nothing about. Helping nobody.
English
Outside Downing Street last night with the families of flotilla activists who were abducted by Israel.
People sail to Gaza with one intention: to save the lives of Palestinians being starved to death.
Their abominable treatment is an assault on our common humanity.
English
@RoKhanna Well, if you go along with the lie that it's a genocide rather than a brutal war don't complain when you get results like this. Maybe come up with policies that work for people in MI and WI and big cities in CA.
English
There is not a single mention of Gaza in the 192 page DNC autopsy report. As someone who campaigned in Michigan and Wisconsin, let me tell you- one of the main reasons we lost was our blank check to Israel while they committed a genocide.
Our party must put human rights first.
English
@PaddyTheFitzer @caitoz Israel unilaterally left Gaza in 2005. Hamas brutally took over in 2007. And spent the next 16 years preparing for October 7. Not building a proto state. Facts are facts.
English
@GavinSimms2 @caitoz The occupation has been ongoing since 1967 and yet Israel is still considered a Western ally and not sanctioned into oblivion with withdrawal as a precondition for reversing the sanctions. That’s literally the reason.
English
Normal person: Genocide is bad.
Israel supporter: Just say you hate Jews.
Normal person: I oppose Zionism.
Israel supporter: Jews. You mean Jews. Say Jews.
Normal person: The Israel lobby is causing problems.
Israel supporter: Jews Jews Jews Jews Jewy Jew Jews.
Normal person: But I don't mean Jews. I'm expressing specific grievances against a specific state, its backers, and the political ideology it is premised upon. I judge people based on their individual actions, not on their religion.
Israel supporter: JEWWWWWWS.
Normal person: You realize you're doing the exact same thing neo-Nazis do, right? You're conflating all Jews with everything bad about Israel and the forces which give rise to its abuses.
Israel supporter: It is antisemitic to conflate all Jews with the actions of Israel.
Normal person: Then why do you keep conflating all Jews with the actions of Israel?
Israel supporter: Because it is antisemitic not to conflate all Jews with the actions of Israel.
English
@mahmoudkhalel Israel unilaterally left Gaza in 2005, no? How do you square that? Blame Sinwar and Deif for the fact that changed.
English
"The public only wants security" has been the stated rationale for every land grab since '48. The Green Line was the security need to protect the '47 partition plan borders. Sinai, Gaza, the West Bank, and Golan became security needs in '67 to protect the Green Line. South Lebanon in '82. Now more buffer zones in Gaza, Syria and Lebanon to secure the previous buffer zones.
The buffer zone needs a buffer zone to secure its buffer zone.
Seth Frantzman@sfrantzman
The Israeli public only wants security. This is the sole thing that interests the vast majority, like at 95% They only want a normal life, there is zero interest in “expansion”; but if they believe a buffer zone brings security they are ok with it. Considering the sirens in Kiryat Shmona today it hasn’t brought security completely. Whatever “talk” there is from some politicians and a few fringe folk, the vast majority just want to go back to a normal life and no sirens and security
