A BBC investigation confirms it: IDF snipers are systematically targeting and killing Palestinian children, including infants


@Breaking911 @CommunityNotes please


A member of an offshoot of the Jewish Defense League — designated by the FBI as a "known violent extremist organization" — was allegedly building explosive devices to target the home of Nerdeen Kiswani in a chilling act of political violence. The defendant reportedly planned to flee to Israel following the attack. This comes amid an alarming rise in threats and violence across the country targeting Palestinian human rights advocates. I am thankful that the NYPD and FBI thwarted this plot, which could have endangered Nerdeen’s life and those of other New Yorkers. Let me be clear: We will not tolerate violent extremism in our city. No one should face violence for their political beliefs or their advocacy. I am relieved that Nerdeen is safe. Our city must meet hate with solidarity, and meet fear with an unshakable commitment to justice and to one another.




Iranian missiles' casualty ratios vary by incident, target, and defenses—no single aggregate exists. - June 2025 Twelve-Day War (vs Israel): 28 civilians + 1 off-duty soldier killed; 3,238 hospitalized injuries (vast majority civilian). Per Times of Israel/Wikipedia. - Jan 2024 Erbil (Iraq): 4 civilians killed. - Oct 2024 (vs Israel): 1 Palestinian civilian (debris) + 1 Israeli indirect; no military deaths. - 2026 escalations: ~17-19 deaths in Israel (mostly civilian reports); 11 civilians in Gulf states (HRW); but 6 Peshmerga military killed in Iraq strikes. In large barrages on Israel, civilians predominate (~28:1 deaths in 2025). Strikes often targeted military sites but caused collateral in populated areas.
