A monstrous bunch of venal shits. Trump & his Band of Bastards making the world a hellhole of a slurry pit. Solidarity with everyone standing up to this motley bunch of junkies, drunks and goosestepping gobshites. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

BREAKING: Israel just carried out a horrific massacre in Maarakeh, South Lebanon. Dropping bombs on residential buildings. Children are being pulled from under the rubble of their own homes. Entire families wiped out. The scenes are devastating.

Nigel Farage supported a preacher now accused of being racist, misogyinist, and homophobic bit.ly/4wOKgDJ who says he’s only following the bible. The MP says he’s being demonised for his Christian views. The @NatSecSoc has reported preacher to the Charity Commission

Israeli soldiers raided a Palestinian family's home in the West Bank while the people inside were literally on TikTok live. Children screaming.Pure terror. Soldiers laughing and shoving people around inside their own home.

Very worrying development

Earlier this year, Declassified UK revealed that over 2,000 Britons have served for Israel since October 2023. Now Declassified UK and @ICJPalestine are launching a major campaign to demand that the UK government investigate the activities of British nationals who have served for Israel amid the Gaza genocide.

“My name is Amos Goldberg. I am an Israeli Professor of Holocaust Studies. For nearly 30 years I have researched and taught the Holocaust, genocide and state violence. And I want to tell whoever is willing to listen that what’s happening now in Gaza is a genocide. A year ago when October 7th happened, like all Israelis I was in shock. It was a war crime and a crime against humanity. 1200 people - more than 800 of them civilians - were killed in one day. Children and the elderly were among those taken hostage. Communities were destroyed. It was outrageous, traumatizing, personal. Like most Israelis, I know people who were killed, who lost loved ones or whose loved ones were taken hostage. But immediately afterwards came Israel’s response and within weeks thousands of civilians were killed in Gaza. It took me some time to digest what was unfolding before my eyes. It was agonizing to confront that reality. I was reluctant to call it a genocide. But if you read Raphael Lemkin – the Jewish-Polish legal scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ and was the major driving force behind the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention – what is happening in Gaza now is exactly what he had in mind when he spoke about genocide. It does not need to look like the Holocaust to be a genocide. Each genocide looks different and not all involve killing of millions or the entire group. The United Nations Genocide Convention explicitly asserts that genocide is the act of deliberately destroying a group in whole or in part. Those are the words. But there does need to be a clear intent. And indeed, there are clear indications of intent to destroy Gaza: Israel’s leaders - including the prime minister and the minister of defence - and many high-ranking military officers, media personalities, rabbis, as well as ordinary soldiers were very open about what they wanted to achieve. There were countless documented incitements to turn the whole of Gaza into rubble and claims that there are no innocent people living there. A radical atmosphere of dehumanization of the Palestinians prevails in Israeli society to an extent that I can’t remember in my 58 years of living here. Now that vision has been enacted. Tens of thousands of innocent children, women and men have been killed. Over a hundred thousand were wounded. There is a near total destruction of infrastructure, intentional starvation and blocking of humanitarian aid. There are mass graves and reliable testimony of summary executions. Children that were shot by snipers. All the universities and almost all hospitals are gone. Almost all the population is displaced. There have been numerous bombings of civilians in so-called ‘safe zones’. Gaza does not exist anymore. It is completely destroyed. Thus, the outcome fits perfectly with the stated intentions of Israel’s leadership. Lemkin - that scholar who coined the term ‘genocide’ - described two phases of a genocide. The first is the destruction of the annihilated group and the second is what he called ‘imposition of the national pattern’ of the perpetrator. We are now witnessing the second phase as Israel prepares ethnically cleansed areas for Israeli settlements. And therefore, I have come to the conclusion that this is exactly what a genocide looks like. We don’t teach about genocides in order to realize it retrospectively. We teach about it in order to prevent it and to stop it. But like in every other case of genocide in history right now we have mass denial. Both here in Israel and around the world. But reality cannot be denied. So yes, it is a genocide. And once you come to this conclusion you cannot remain silent.” - Statement to Led By Donkeys, December 2024 - Photo: Parliament Square, London, 8.40am, 4th December 2024

Meriem Hadjal explains how she was tortured and sexually assaulted by 3 Israeli soldiers on the Prison-boat after being abducted in international waters.

This massacre of medics would be branded terrorism if in Israel by Hezbollah so what is it by Israel in Lebanon? The mass killing of emergency workers in Lebanon and, before that, Gaza is surely another war crime. news.sky.com/video/the-para…

💢 Six-year-old girl and a woman killed in Israeli attack on tent in Khan Younis The United States continues to facilitate Israel’s daily killing of Palestinian civilians, through full military and political support as Israel ignores the Trump-brokered ceasefire. Minattallah Nabil Abu Libdah, 6, was killed Monday in an Israeli attack on a tent in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. She had reportedly been recovering from a broken arm at the time of her death. Footage shows her father crying uncontrollably at the hospital next to her lifeless body. A second person, 31-year-old woman Hanan Mahmoud, was also killed in the Israeli attack, according to reporting by Mosab Abu Toha.

"I was sexually assaulted, I was beaten, and that was the beginning of four day of absolute hell" Flotilla activist Juliet describes how she was sexually assaulted and tortured by the Israeli occupation forces after being abducted from the Global Sumud Flotilla vessels.

If 9 Jewish paramedics were killed ANYWHERE in the world it would be called terrorism. And we’d never hear the end of it. Israel slaughtered 9 paramedics in 72 hours, most of which we’ve seen on film, and we only hear their names on Twitter.

Just been reading Byline Times sat in the sun, recovering from a cold, and felt compelled to scribble this caricature of one of the Evil Men of our times, Peter Thiel. I've seen him interviewed a few times, and that man can sweat. Christ knows how he's coping in this weather.

It's nighttime in Gaza now, a horrific scene. The bombing continues, the annihilation continues, the fires never stop, and the tragedy never ends!

Australian Gaza Flottila aid worker's first message to her mother after being released from an israeli concentration camp.

Israel has turned its prisons into a network of torture camps for Palestinians. Prisoners are subjected to severe violence, deliberate humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical care and abuse in everyfacility they are held in. Some have also been severely sexually assaulted. Since October 2023, at least 84 Palestinians have died in these torture camps. The policymakers, and primarily Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, brag in TV puff pieces and on social media about what is happening in these torture camps. Today, we published “Living Hell”, a report on the situation of Palestinians in Israeli custody. It is based on the testimonies of Palestinians released in recent months, along with research, reports, news updates and Israel Prison Service figures, and continues our previous report on the issue, “Welcome to Hell”, from August 2024. Systematic, deliberate abuse continues to define Israel’s policy toward Palestinian prisoners in its custody, and is another feature of the Israeli regime’s coordinated onslaught on the Palestinian people.
