BREAKING : The UN accuses Israel of committing EXTERMINATION in Gaza. EXTERMINATION. Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know. “Israel is responsible for extermination, murder, using starvation as a method of war..” —The UN Human Rights Council

From Godfrey Olukya for @DropSiteNews: In Soweto, South Africa, schools are closing because buses don’t have fuel to bring the children in. Tanzania’s president announced that she would be trimming her motorcade to two vehicles, and that ministers would travel together on buses. Madagascar has declared a state of emergency. In Somalia, fishing fleets are docked, the lack of diesel cutting off a key supply of local protein, even as aid deliveries are stalled due to lack of fuel. Street demonstrations have rocked Kenya, where four people were killed in fuel protests Monday. Government subsidies are draining state coffers in Ghana as jet fuel costs stick a knife in the heart of the effort to make Accra International Airport a global transportation hub. On a continent that relies more than any other on local agriculture to feed its population, and where the bulk of fertilizer comes from outside, the planting season crisis is in full swing. But in Malawi fertilizer can’t make it to the regions that need it, and that’s if any can be found at all. Across Africa, from north to south and from east to west, the war waged by the U.S. and Israel on Iran is wreaking havoc, bringing to life the old cliché, “When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.” dropsitenews.com/p/iran-war-afr…

Medical and rescue personnel in Lebanon need urgent protection.  🚨 We strongly condemn and are outraged by the killing of paramedics by Israeli forces, including a drone strike that hit three paramedics on 12 May 2026. f.mtr.cool/kcuhlwgxhh

THE BIGGEST BANKING LEAK IN HISTORY Hervé Falciani was an IT worker at HSBC Swiss private bank in Geneva. Between 2006 and 2008, he collected data on over 130,000 clients and handed it to French tax authorities on five DVDs at a Nice airport. The Guardian, BBC, and Le Monde called it the biggest banking leak in history. What was inside? Evidence that HSBC's Geneva branch helped people accused of drug-running, corruption, money-laundering and arms-dealing conceal billions of dollars in Switzerland. Not allegedly. In detailed bank notes. With staff reassuring clients their names would never reach their home governments. HSBC Swiss subsidiary helped customers withhold over $204.5 billion in assets from international tax authorities, traced back to 20,000 offshore companies. Arms dealers. Blood diamond traders. People connected to Assad. Mubarak. Royals. Politicians. The lot. The data eventually reached HMRC. They ran Operation SOLACE. They investigated and challenged more than 1,000 account holders and collected £135 million in unpaid tax, interest and fines. In 150 cases they sought criminal prosecution. One conviction. One. A property developer fined £469,000. @HSBC_UK itself? In November 2017, HSBC agreed to pay 300 million euros to avoid going to trial in France for enabling tax fraud, under a deal that let them negotiate a fine instead of facing a criminal court. French prosecutors dropped the case. Switzerland fined them a sum that amounted to about a fifth of the £135 million HMRC recovered in the UK alone. Even the prosecutor imposing the fine launched a stinging attack on Swiss law for preventing anything close to a deterrent. The man who exposed all of it? Switzerland sentenced Falciani to five years in prison for banking data theft, the longest sentence ever demanded by the confederation's public ministry in such a case. The bank paid a fine. The whistleblower got a five-year sentence.

The media spent 2.5 years telling you this is “targeting Hamas.”

Israel has continued killing hundreds of people, destroying villages and homes, and making southern Lebanon unlivable during a so-called ceasefire, now with the United States reportedly helping coordinate strikes on Beirut.

Khan Younis: before & after the genocide in Gaza.

Twitter just gave me this ad. Is this a joke?

@aeberman12 I respect Richard's coverage of Gaza. The video seems to paint a broadly believable hypothesis that all this chaos is useful to some narrow interests in the US. Is Richard just out of his depth and drawing the wrong conclusions?

Do you honestly think you would hear that the US "crippled Russian oil infrastructure" on a podcast @brewmook ? It's great clickbait

@richimedhurst What do you make of this @aeberman12?

Do not be fooled by the ceasefire in Iran. In 90 days, the US have launched an energy blitzkrieg: • Crippled Russia’s oil infrastructure 🇷🇺 • Disrupted 1/3 of China’s oil & LNG 🇨🇳 • Seized the planet’s largest oil fields 🇻🇪 • Seized Syria & Gaza's gas🛢️ This is the birth of the Petrogas-dollar and the Pirate State 🏴‍☠️

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history. Media giants are now threatening to do this. We can't let this happen. Pass it on.

@krassenstein He's cuckoo. Time for the Vance and Thiel coup coup

BREAKING: Many are speculating that Trump has paid a visit to Walter Reed Hospital because of his lack of presence during a major war, his absence from Mar-a-lago during a weekend, and the fact that the White House has issued a Lid on the press for the day. Additionally, his social media presence has been low. Thoughts?

But Nick you don’t “interview those who use the word genocide”. I’m one of the most prominent British genocide scholars and I called Israel’s genocide in October 2023. I’ve had a lot of international media attention but my BBC total in 30 months is one interview on Radio Ulster.

Recorded my first video essay, about fascism. Not as an insult, or hyperbole. But as a clinical diagnosis from some of the world's leading historians, including the scholar who spent 60 years warning people not to use the word carelessly. youtube.com/watch?v=DDf25r…

There is every chance that if Trump decides to use a nuclear weapon against Iran it will bd delivers on a B2 bomber flying from an American air base in the U.K. You OK with that?

The Israeli regime has violated Trump’s so-called ceasefire every day since it was announced nine days ago, repeatedly shooting Palestinian civilians, blocking humanitarian aid, destroying civilian infrastructure, and now carrying out large-scale bombing raids on Gaza. In the meantime, the US, UK, France and other complicit states are preparing to seek a Security Council mandate to deploy a proxy occupation force to Gaza to further strangle the besieged and battered Palestinian people, further suppress Palestinian agency and self-determination, and further shore up Israeli impunity. The Israeli regime does not need more support. It needs to be isolated and held accountable. And the Palestinian people don’t need more occupation. They need more freedom.

Israeli-American peace activist and negotiator @GershonBaskin told Al Jazeera’s Steve Clemons that he interacts with U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff “every day” – and has urged the Americans that if they “want this to work, and apparently they want it to work, they’re going to have to be engaged every single day, several times a day, to tell the mediators and… the parties, Israel and Hamas, that both sides are honoring the agreement.” In this clip, he recounts how the ceasefire was ultimately pushed through – and the role Trump played behind the scenes.

Despite the ongoing ceasefire, Israeli troops have continued to destroy Palestinian homes in Gaza over the past several days. Tonight, this is how it looks like :

See, they can report the truth and name the killer without casting doubt. Now imagine if they reported Israel’s crimes like this every day.
