As a journalist from Gaza, I feel I owe an apology. I'm sorry that I haven't been able to document everything happening here or tell every story born from this ongoing war. Every single day brings countless scenes and human stories that are simply beyond the capacity of any journalist to cover—or any words to fully describe. We would need a hundred years just to begin documenting the scale of the catastrophe we are living through. Even words have lost their power to describe this reality, and at times, even cameras fail to capture the depth of the suffering we witness and hear every day. I am truly sorry, because what remains untold is far greater than what we have managed to show the world.

@EnglerYves NDP @avilewis we are watching, we are waiting, you need to speak up on this issue. I can’t say it any better: “[ @avilewis ] must demand Mark Carney redirect the resources he's devoting to submarines to more socially useful endeavours.” Humanize and Demilitarize 🇨🇦

Avi Lewis is staying mum on a $100 billion boost to Canada’s capacity to kill. A week ago Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada would buy up to a dozen submarines from a German firm. Expected to be equipped with long range missiles, the vessels represent a huge enhancement in Canadian naval firepower. Historically Canada has had limited submarine capacity and even the militarist Stephen Harper didn’t plan a major new sub purchase. Nor did the Justin Trudeau government. There’s a single paragraph in their 46-page April 2024 defence policy strategy calling to “explore” purchasing submarines. “Our North, Strong and Free: A Renewed Vision for Canada’s Defence” notes, “We will explore options for renewing and expanding our submarine fleet to enable the Royal Canadian Navy to project a persistent deterrent on all three coasts, with under-ice capable, conventionally powered submarines.” But, now Carney has decided we need to put a hundred billion dollars into massively expanding this aggressive war fighting capacity. The cost of acquiring up to a dozen of these submarines is enormous. Some $100 billion over their lifecycle, each Canadian is expected to pay $2400 for submarines. With those public resources, 200 000 units of social housing could be built. Instead of buying superfluous warships, we could put a roof over the head of every unhoused person and several hundred thousand more. Despite the massive ramification of the submarine announcement, Lewis and the NDP have stayed mum on the matter. One week after the announcement I couldn’t find a single mention of the subs from the federal NDP. During that period party ‘defence’ critic Don Davies has posted to X nine times. Ditto for Lewis who has posted about a documentary on Amy Goodman, death of actor Mark Messier, a shooting in Toronto and Ottawa supporting US attacks on Iran. He’s also posted about an AI summit, public health care funding, locked out security officers, NATO war bank and a Sikh criminal network. Can the NDP simply ignore a $100 billion submarine purchase? Not if anti-war NDP members and peace advocates more generally press the matter. In a column on the sub purchase University of Calgary Centre for Military, Security and Strategic Studies fellow Alexander Hill bemoaned how “Avi Lewis, the new leader of the NDP, has apparently tried to avoid engaging in an in-depth discussion of the issue.” More pressure is needed. Avi Lewis must demand Mark Carney redirect the resources he's devoting to submarines to more socially useful endeavours.

This brutality, which is well known and evidenced, is being supported/sustained by silence & repeated prostrations of rogue leaders, like @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP et. al. Yet they lack shame, abound in arrogance and are untouchable by any human decency. Till justice, no peace.

Over 115 million website requests in 10 days. People are seeing what israel did, that is for sure. It is a big weight off our shoulders to know that many website mirrors now exist around the world, and that this archive can never be deleted. Thanks to all those who helped get the word out & who downloaded copies/ are seeding this project on torrents. We are working on uploading the remaining footage to the live site in the coming weeks. x.com/xIsraelExposed…

EXPLOSIVE! An arrest warrant should be promptly issued against this self-confessed war criminal. The more Israeli leaders get away with their crimes, the more the system meant to protect us all gets irreparably destroyed.

On May 5th, @adamchamb met with the Israel lobby about "justice & law enforcement". Soon after, pro-Israel laws were passed in Parliament. In 2023, Chambers took over $20,000 from the lobby. It's a criminal offense to offer gifts in exchange for political favours. @MarkJCarney

@MarkJCarney Your kindred spirit, gone too late. People of #Canada this is who your false hero, your #elbowsup banker overlord aligns with:

Senator Lindsey Graham dedicated his life to serving the people of South Carolina and the United States.    Throughout his career, he stood resolutely in defence of democracy and freedom, most recently and particularly with Ukraine and its people.   I offer my condolences to Senator Graham’s family, friends, and all those who served alongside him.

🎥 WATCH: “Not a prosthetic limb in Gaza… Let us leave and travel abroad for treatment. Have mercy on us.” Wounded Palestinians gathered to plead for medical evacuation, amid Israel’s ongoing ban on the entry of prosthetics and severe restrictions on specialized medical care into Gaza. Israel is simultaneously preventing most of the 18,000 patients on pre-approved WHO lists from leaving for treatment abroad. Israel, which under the 2025 ceasefire agreement Israel was supposed to reopen the Rafah crossing for the movement of all civilian passengers, including medical evacuations, only allows a handful of people to cross daily. The crossing remained closed on Saturday. Gaza health officials say more than 1,500 patients have died while waiting to be evacuated for treatment. About 10 patients die each day. 🎥: Palestinian journalist Rabie Noqaira (@ rabie_noqaira on Instagram)

@DropSiteNews Let’s be clear, it’s not because @MarkJCarney realises he/Canada does not have the moral authority (it most certainly does not) to lecture countries on human rights from afar, rather it’s simply because his greed trumps his non existent humility. And both are zio symps anyway.

🇨🇦 🇸🇦 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Saudi Arabia on the first trip by a Canadian leader in 25 years, signing 13 new commercial agreements and MOUs worth over $1 billion, to expand cooperation in energy, critical minerals, and artificial intelligence. Carney also said Canada would no longer “lecture countries from afar,” on human rights, marking a significant shift from Justin Trudeau’s approach, which led to a diplomatic rupture with Riyadh in 2018.

@susanabulhawa Now they just announce the false flags to make sure more people are watching when they orchestrate their “clever”, entirely transparent move to blame the resource-rich country of their latest coveting. Yet it would still be tit-for-tat given what the big TACO has perpetrated.

Israel is 100% behind this. They gave "intelligence" to a powerful dementia patient that Iran was going to assassinate him. The fact that he believes it, and hordes of his idiotic followers believe it too, only increases the probability that he will indeed be targeted so Iran can be blamed and Israel will get what it wants—the US waging another full on war on their behalf, paying in blood and trillions in American tax dollars.

@EpshtainItay @ireallyhateyou How I wish Canada were acting as a state “serious about complying with their obligations under international law”, but @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP and the rest of them have the population hoodwinked on this and all other issues central to our humanity & survival on planet earth.

A ban on the importation of goods and services produced in Israeli settlements is not simply a policy choice. It gives effect to the duty of non-recognition, and, to an extent, the obligation not to aid or assist the maintenance of an internationally wrongful act: Israel's unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory, as determined by the International Court of Justice. But this is where we have to be intellectually honest. The settlements themselves produce next to nothing. Their continued expansion and viability depend overwhelmingly on sustained public financing by the State of Israel. Without generous subsidies, they would not be economically viable. Earlier this week, the Israeli Tax Authority published the list of settlements whose residents will receive annual tax benefits of up to ILS 147,000 (approximately USD 44,000) per eligible taxpayer. That is how the unlawful presence is entrenched: not principally through exports, but through the systematic transfer of public resources to sustain and expand it. If third States are serious about complying with their obligations under international law, attention cannot stop at settlement products. It must also turn to the financial architecture that makes the unlawful enterprise possible, and to the lawful countermeasures available to deny it the economic support on which it depends.

@_adrianramirez_ They’ve maximized the Orwellian memory hole and minimized the revisionist history tasking because making it “never happened” is just so much tidier.

🧠 | ASSANGE: EL BORRADO DE LA MEMORIA COLECTIVA «Los archivos de información se han centralizado en ordenadores. No están en bibliotecas por todo el país para que la gente los busque; solo se buscan en Internet. Y debido a la legislación sobre derechos de autor, no se copian en ningún otro lugar de Internet. Así que cuando algo desaparece de los archivos, de los archivos electrónicos de Occidente, hacia los cuales se está desplazando toda la información, desaparece para siempre. No solo ha dejado de existir, sino que ha dejado de haber existido jamás. Y cuando vayas a esas páginas web que han sido eliminadas de los periódicos occidentales, no verás las líneas editoriales, solo verás "página no encontrada". No verás nada en absoluto en el índice. Nos estamos aproximando al estado de la máxima de Orwell, una máxima perfecta: que quien controla el presente controla el pasado. Quien controla los servidores de Internet controla el registro intelectual de la humanidad; y al controlar eso, controla nuestras percepciones de quiénes somos; y al controlar eso, controla qué leyes y regulaciones creamos en la sociedad».

The Trump administration has found a new target in its long war on Cuba: the island’s doctors. As the Wall Street Journal reports, Washington is now moving to destroy Cuba’s overseas medical missions – one of its last remaining sources of dollar income – having already blocked its fuel, sanctioned its officials and choked off remittances. Marco Rubio has toured the Caribbean threatening visa bans against any official who keeps employing Cuban medics, denouncing the programme – bizarrely – as “forced labour” and “state-sponsored human-trafficking brigades”. Since 1963 – the first mission went to newly independent Algeria – Cuba has sent what Fidel called an “army of white coats” to heal the poor of the world. Some 24,000 Cuban health workers currently serve across more than 50 countries, from tiny Caribbean islands to the rural villages of southern Italy. They staff the clinics no one else will. In Honduras, residents gave the departing Cuban medics a tearful ovation. Jamaica’s prime minister, standing beside Rubio, pushed back to his face: the Cuban doctors “have been incredibly helpful to us”. St Lucia’s leader said plainly that “our medical system would basically collapse without them”. And when the US leaned on St Vincent and the Grenadines, Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves responded firmly: “I will prefer to lose my visa than to have 60 poor and working people die.” That is the choice the United States is forcing on the region: get rid of the Cuban doctors, or be punished. The world’s richest country would rather the poor of the Global South go blind and die than tolerate Cuban solidarity. Why? Because those missions are not only Cuba’s largest export – some $5.3 billion in 2024, half of all its foreign earnings – but the clearest proof of what a small socialist country can offer humanity. That is the real target. Not “trafficking”, but the threat of a good example: a blockaded island of 11 million that sends doctors where empires send gunboats. To wage war on Cuba’s doctors is to admit you have nothing to offer the world. Solidarity with Cuba has never been more urgent. ¡Venceremos!

1/2 - New feature: dedicated category of genocidal intent targeting Lebanon on The Zionism Observer. There are 3 dozen quotes of Israeli genocidal intent towards Lebanon archived presently. We will add more evidence over the coming weeks.

His government is moving fast to bankrupt Canada by showering gobs of money on weapons manufacturers.

CIJA expects us to believe that an Israel lobby group’s version of events is historically accurate, whereas the @CMHR_News version is a “dangerous example of political activism.” Let’s see the version from the Zionists who took part in Israel’s founding:

@gazanotice To the @HindRFoundation with him.

🚨An Israeli soldier films himself destroying civilians’ belongings in Gaza, then proudly posts the video under the caption “Dancing in Gaza.”

@blowingtom2 @s_m_marandi And yet she maintains the arrogant ignorance of a trad wife for the empire.

Probably Sarah Ferguson’s worst interview to date. This guy schooled her and she was left stumbling.

Amnesty International has concluded that Israeli forces committed war crimes in three March airstrikes that erased three Lebanese families within a single week, killing 24 civilians, 12 of them children, and is now demanding a global arms embargo and universal jurisdiction prosecutions. On Mar 6, an Israeli strike hit the Tyre home of Hassan Saleh, a retired cancer patient, killing him, his wife Fatimah, and their two children, Zein al-Abidin and Roqaya. Six days later a strike on Irkay village near Sidon wiped out four young sisters and their grandparents. On Mar 13, Nabatieh's al-Rahbat neighbourhood lost a father, mother and their four children when their home was flattened. The local mukhtar, Abdul Latif Bitar, told Amnesty there was no military presence in the area and no weapons anywhere near the site. The strikes sit inside a wider collapse. Fighting resumed on Mar 2 after Hezbollah launched rockets in response to a US-Israeli strike that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Feb 28, and Israel answered with a nationwide bombing campaign. The Lebanese Health Ministry now puts the death toll since Mar 2 at more than 4,300, including over 250 children, a scale the isolated horror of three home strikes barely hints at. After the Irkay strike, Israel's military told the Observer it had hit "Hezbollah terrorist operatives" and accused Hezbollah of using human shields, offering no evidence. Amnesty found none at any of the three sites. Israeli authorities told Amnesty the allegations had been "referred for examination," the same bureaucratic non-answer that has followed every prior Lebanon investigation. Amnesty's deputy MENA director, Kristine Beckerle, said the military had obliterated entire families within a week, showing a callous disregard for civilian lives, and called for states to impose an immediate arms embargo. My take: An arms embargo is the one demand in this report with teeth, and it is the one Western governments will keep pretending not to hear. Every other mechanism here, from Israel's internal review to the fig leaf of "referred for examination," exists to absorb outrage without changing behaviour. The states supplying the weapons used on these three homes are the actual accountability gap, not Israel's paperwork.

The USA has 800 military bases across 80 countries. Do you know how many the country with the next highest number has? 145 bases across 42 countries. And that would be the UK. So, no. These military bases are not to "protect" Americans. They are there to dominate the world through military power. If a military base on the territory of one of the 80 countries hosting U.S. forces is used to launch attacks against a sovereign state, it is entirely foreseeable that the targeted state will view that base as a legitimate military objective and respond accordingly. The people of countries hosting such bases should be asking why their governments allowed their territory to be used to wage war on another nation, often without meaningful public consent. Accountability begins with those who initiated or facilitated the attack, not with those who retaliated. Watching some Arab governments, and citizens (!), condemn Iran for striking military installations that were clearly used to launch attacks against it is remarkable. If those bases were indeed used in military operations against Iran, then presenting the response as an "unprovoked attack" ignores the sequence of events. So spare everyone the selective outrage. If you're unwilling to acknowledge cause and effect, or the role your own governments may have played, your criticism rings hollow.
