STILL NOT OVER THIS SHOT 😭 WHO WAS WEMBY FEELING LIKE??

I still can't believe I just saw a 7'5 guy take a pull-up 30-foot game-tying three. This is what it must've been like to see a movie in color for the first time.

Everything is a blood libel. The ICJ ruling, a libel. The ICC warrants, a libel. The UN reports, libel. Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem, libel. Survivors' testimony, libel. Your own soldiers charged at Sde Teiman, a libel. Chants at protests, libel. The only entity on Earth that never lies, apparently, is the one currently on trial for genocide.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

The former head of the Mossad is comparing the actions of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank to Nazis in the Holocaust. If someone said that in the West they'd be accused of antisemitism under the IHRA definition.

🚨Must read: Israeli soldiers with moral injury admit to unspeakable atrocities they committed in Gaza. They say it "reminded [them] of the Holocaust." One says they put a Gazan civilian in cage, stripped him down, a soldier peed on him while the others laughed Another emptied his machine gun into an elderly man with 3 children. When the commander came to the site, he spat on the bodies & called them "sons of bitches." Another soldier says they encountered an unarmed Palestinian civilian who held his hands up. An Israeli soldier "came near him, waited a few seconds & just fired, without asking questions, without the suspect doing anything," then reported the incident as a "terrorist eliminated." Another describes how IDF Soldiers "would just take pleasure in destruction" & stealing the belongings of murdered Palestinians. He said soldiers would steal "electric appliances, gold necklaces, cash, everything" & "called it a blessing to steal from [Palestinians]." NONE of those soldiers have ever been held accountable, despite their public confessions to their crimes. The IDF refuses to even recognize "moral injury" as a mental disorder because it negates their propaganda slogan that "Israel has the world's most moral army." Instead, the IDF quietly calls it "identity injury" to imply those soldiers are to blame for feeling bad about murdering Palestinians.

the Pain is over

Israeli strike kills infant girl in south Lebanon during father's funeral reut.rs/4t6xqOZ reut.rs/4t6xqOZ

It took Israel only 10 minutes to carry out one of the worst mass-killings in Lebanon since the end of the country’s civil war in 1990. Lebanese are still searching for loved ones under rubble and in hospital morgues. Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients, many of them children. “I thought they bombed a school at first,” the head of a hospital in Beirut said. theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…?

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

It’s mind blowing how spray paint on a synagogue wall in the west gets more outrage and condemnation than an actual bombed synagogue. Israel can get away with anything even bombing Jews

Onward.

Fucking devastating man. One of the few progressive voices in Florida. The first Florida politician to call for a ceasefire and one of the few elected officials that recognized the humanity of our Muslim community. May her memory be a blessing floridapolitics.com/archives/78846…

⭕️ Israel has not prosecuted a single killing of a Palestinian civilian in the West Bank since 2020, Guardian analysis finds No Israeli soldier, police officer, or settler has been charged for killing a Palestinian civilian in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian review of legal data and public records shows. At least 1,100 Palestinian civilians have been killed there since 2020, more than a quarter of them children, according to UN data. Dozens of former Israeli security chiefs, including two former military heads, five former Mossad and Shin Bet directors, and four ex-police commissioners, have signed a letter warning that "almost daily" attacks on Palestinians amount to "organized activity" by people "wearing uniforms, who shoot at innocent people and burn the property and homes of civilians." They warned that failure to address what they called "Jewish terrorism" poses an existential threat to Israel. This month alone, Israeli settlers and police killed 10 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, including a family of four shot in the head, among them brothers aged five and seven, as they returned from a Ramadan shopping trip. According to legal rights group Yesh Din, between 2020 and 2025: ▪️over 96% of police investigations into settler violence concluded without an indictment ▪️Of 368 cases, only eight ended in full or partial convictions ▪️Palestinians filed 1,746 complaints against Israeli soldiers in the same period, including over 600 related to killings. Less than 1% resulted in charges

Judge rules that 17-year-old Walid Ahmad likely starved to death in Israeli military detention, but closes the case anyway. Israel never charged him with a crime and still holds his body. Here’s how he died, as reported by his cellmate, 16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim:

In Israel, driving over a five-year-old Palestinian girl with the goal to kill her is not a crime. Reporting it to the authorities is.

Israel soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian couple and two of their young children last night (15 March). Last night, around 1:30 A.M., Israeli troops operating in the village of Tamun in the northern Jordan Valley opened heavy fire at a vehicle driving inside the village. In the vehicle were members of the Bani ‘Odeh family, who were on their way home from shopping in Nablus for the ‘Eid al-Fitr festivities marking the end of Ramadan later this week. The shots killed ‘Ali Khaled Sayel Bani ‘Odeh, 38, his wife, Wa’d ‘Othman ‘Aqel Bani ‘Odeh, 36, and two of their children: ‘Othman, 6, and Muhammad, 5. After the shooting, soldiers removed from the vehicle two other children, Khaled, 11, and Mustafa, 8, from the vehicle, both lightly injured by shrapnel. The soldiers violently interrogated the elder boy at the scene. Initially, the forces prevented ambulances from reaching the area, and only after some time were medical teams allowed to approach. The troops confiscated the family’s vehicle, which was riddled with bullets. Since the beginning of the Israel-US attack on Iran on 28 February, Israel has killed 13 Palestinians in the West Bank. Of these, 8 were shot by the military, including 2 minors, and 5 were shot by settler militias. The most recent victim prior to this incident was Amir Mu‘tasem ‘Odeh, 28, who was shot and killed yesterday (Saturday, 14 March) in Qusra, Nablus District, by a settler militia that attacked the town. Since the beginning of 2026, Israel has killed 24 Palestinians in the West Bank. Of these, 18 were shot by soldiers and 6 by settler militias. This is part of Israel’s violent campaign of ethnic cleansing, which has intensified during the attack on Iran. Under Israeli rule, the lives of Palestinians are treated as entirely expendable.

Batoul Hamdan had just finished iftar when Israel dropped a bomb on her home, killing her two small children, her siblings and her parents -- wiping out three generations instantly. Entire families are being wiped out by Israel's war in Lebanon. theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

"The strike resulted in nearly the entire medical team, including doctors, paramedics and nurses, being killed." Israel is killing medical workers, the U.S. is killing little kids, and together the two countries have killed more than 2,000 human beings. Just 3 weeks in.
