This is why @Channel4News is my only permanent nightly news fixture. Understanding the human ties that bind. Watching these men try to console one another & contain their grief is heartbreaking. Powerful narration again from @paraicobrien

Sean Hannity called himself “uniquely qualified” to lecture Pope Leo XIV on the Bible Thursday night. Hannity called the U.S.-born pontiff a “run-of-the-mill Trump-hating Democrat that lacks moral clarity about radical Islam.” Pope Leo XIV holds four degrees and a doctorate in canon law from the world’s most prestigious Catholic university. Hannity is a three-time college dropout who publicly quit the Catholic Church. thelettersfromleo.com/p/im-uniquely-…

“Zionism is unreformable” - @bartov_omer

We're Going in a Bear Hunt in French

In 1983, Paul Newman stated that the American state disregards the truth, always creating exaggerated enemies to justify wars and massacres for profit, while ignoring crimes committed by others like Israel..

Before you vote for reform in Scotland, this is what Nigel Farage thinks of us…

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel. Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone. No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life. thenation.com/article/politi…

Rowan Williams, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, tells us that Pete Hegseth’s language is ‘diabolical’ and says ‘there is something demonic’ about American political culture at the moment …

I’m not a Catholic, but wouldn’t it be great if we could get #Ilovethepope trending as he’s plainly a good, decent, principled human being, and, on Musk’s platform, this will annoy a lot of powerful, evil people. Do please repost.

This is outrageous. Just after Trump announced his sham ceasefire, Israel bombed an ambulance workers funeral in South Lebanon. Channel 4 News was there and captured everything. Israel does NOT want peace. It wants to keep committing genocide and stealing other people’s land.

This is a Ukrainian boy, Bohdan. He will forever be eight years old. Yesterday, a Russian drone killed Bohdan as he was playing on a playground in Cherkasy. Bohdan sang in the church choir. Deepest condolences... Russian terrorism must be stopped.

Nothing to see here Just Israel blowing up civilian homes in Ainata — a centuries-old village in South Lebanon Another historic piece of Lebanon wiped out before the eyes of the world Pure terror. Pure destruction And yet, no global outrage. No condemnation. No accountability

Pretty soon Mike will start telling me how to hit a serve or something….

Child Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos powerfully condemns Israel. He explicitly rejects the weaponization of Holocaust memory to justify the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Lebanon, concluding that the Zionist establishment is the real terrorist state.

Well said Stephen Flynn.

Our world is not divided by race, color, gender, or religion. Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, color, gender, or religion.

Wonderful!

“The genocide we are witnessing today, is something that I recognize from my own experience as a Holocaust survivor… What is happening today in Gaza is an extreme form of repeat genocide, a holocaust in our own time, in front of our eyes.” — Stephen Kapos

As a Muslim, I condemn the insult to his Holiness Pope Leo XIV, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, is not acceptable to any person. Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet of God. The prophet of peace and brotherhood. The Bible was revealed to him as the Torah was revealed to prophet Moses “Peace be upon Him” and the Qur’an was revealed to prophet Mohamad ﷺ. We love Jesus and we love the message that was revealed to him. Our love as Muslims for Jesus is not a love of interest or coexistence with our christian brothers and sisters, nor a reflection of sectarian or political affairs. It is part of our religion, of our faith, of our life that we have learned from Qur’an and Bible. Who told you that Jesus is only yours? And why I spoke out when they came for Christians? Because I’m a human. I will always speak out for you, even if you never come for me. I will always defend you and me!

‘The Bishops of Scotland express their gratitude to Pope Leo for his clear and consistent voice in calling for peace. His leadership continues to be a guiding light for the Church and the world at this critical time.’
