I refuse to allow the firm whose software 'selected' victims of a genocide in Palestine, as well as those 'targets' in Iran, which included 160 schoolgirls on day one of the Iran war, to have access to my data. I don't want that company near me. @TheGrayzoneNews I REFUSE PALENTIR

@MaxBlumenthal @aaronjmate Thank you so much, both of you, for tonight's fantastic Iran report. The world has gone mad, but The Grayzone offers serious, rigorous, brilliant journalism that tempers our anxiety and helps us stay focused on what's happening. Congrats and thank you!

This will break your heart today. The US killed her husband and 2 children. Listen to what she and her brother have to say to the American people.

These are the pants of the child, #Jawad Abu Nasser — a small piece of fabric that stands as powerful evidence of the crime. They bear traces of his blood, reflecting the abuse he endured. A visible hole can also be seen, indicating the insertion of a sharp object, resembling a metal rod, into his foot, with a clear exit point through both the foot and the fabric. The evidence does not end there; there are also marks that appear to be burns, likely caused by cigarettes being extinguished on them. The pants of a child not yet a year and a half old… yet they tell a story that cannot be justified.

The British media have entirely invented a stand-his-ground Keir Starmer that bears zero relation to reality. He tried to give Trump access to the bases, the cabinet blocked him, then he invented a legal fig leaf and access was granted. This stuff is professional malpractice.

He doesn't speak up and then five minutes later u-turn"

It is worthy of note that the group which is claiming responsibility for the burning of ambulances last night refers to Palestine as “the land of Israel.” It does so in both English and Arabic, which is particularly unusual.

“They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest and head against it, cuffed my hands to end of the bed and pulled my legs apart forcefully. I felt a penis penetrating my anus and a man raping me. I started screaming, and they beat me on my back and head. While I was blindfolded, I felt a man who was raping me ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten, and I could hear a camera, so I believe they were filming me. I cannot describe what I felt. I wished for death. Every moment." — UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese reads Palestinian survivor accounts of rape, torture, and killings in Israeli detention. 18,500+ have been detained since October 7. At least around a hundred, including a child, have died in custody. And some 4,000 are forcibly disappeared. “What is lost in Palestine will be lost to us all.” — @FranceskAlbs told the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

⚖️ UN EXPERT: Israel Using Torture In ‘Genocidal’ Campaign against Palestinians A new report by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese finds Israel has systematically used torture against Palestinians since Oct. 2023, describing it as a core tool of genocide. ➤ Systematic torture as policy: Based on 300+ testimonies, the report says torture is embedded across detention sites and daily life, aimed at “breaking bodies” and forcing Palestinians from their land. ➤ Mass detention and abuse: Over 18,500 Palestinians have been detained, including children. Detainees face starvation, beatings, sexual violence, electric shocks, sleep deprivation, and denial of medical care. Deaths in custody range from 84 to 94+, with many cases concealed. ➤ Sexual violence documented: The report details rape and other forms of sexual abuse against detainees, used as a method of humiliation, coercion, and control. ➤ Targeting professionals: Doctors, journalists, UN staff, and academics are singled out, indicating an effort to dismantle Palestinian society’s capacity to function. ➤ Gaza as “torture environment”: The report says Israel has turned Gaza into a space where no place is safe, combining bombardment, displacement, starvation, and destruction of homes, hospitals, and cultural sites to inflict collective suffering. ➤ Starvation and siege: Policies cutting food, water, fuel, and aid are described as deliberate tools of mass suffering, with hundreds already dead from malnutrition. ➤ Psychological terror: Constant surveillance, forced displacement of nearly 2 million people, and repeated strikes on “safe zones” create what the report calls a permanent state of fear and coercion. The report from @FranceskAlbs concludes torture is being used both as a method and as evidence of genocidal intent, forming part of a broader system of domination, destruction, and forced removal.

Whether you committed your crimes against the Palestinian people this year, last year, in 2014 or before, you can be sure that the #HindRajabFoundation is looking at you and waiting for the right moment to bring you to justice. Italy should arrest this war criminal.
The Hind Rajab Foundation@HindRFoundation

🚨🇮🇹 The #HindRajabFoundation has filed a criminal complaint in Italy against former Israeli commander Ofer Winter, addressing his role in the 2014 Black Friday massacre in Gaza and incitement of genocide since 2023. Winter is scheduled to speak in Italy next week. More ⬇️ hindrajabfoundation.org/posts/from-201…

@DiEM_25 🤣 Great stuff guys. I was hoping to come. But I've had a bereavement, so I can't make it. Hope it goes well, though. Best wishes and solidarity.

Yes, it’s true. The looney wokey lefties are at it again. They’ve organised an entire conference in London — Resistance is Existence — bringing together some of the most dangerous ideas around: solidarity, internationalism, anti-war politics, and people who still believe democracy should actually mean something.
