⚖️ UN EXPERT: Israel Using Torture In ‘Genocidal’ Campaign against Palestinians A new report by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese finds Israel has systematically used torture against Palestinians since Oct. 2023, describing it as a core tool of genocide. ➤ Systematic torture as policy: Based on 300+ testimonies, the report says torture is embedded across detention sites and daily life, aimed at “breaking bodies” and forcing Palestinians from their land. ➤ Mass detention and abuse: Over 18,500 Palestinians have been detained, including children. Detainees face starvation, beatings, sexual violence, electric shocks, sleep deprivation, and denial of medical care. Deaths in custody range from 84 to 94+, with many cases concealed. ➤ Sexual violence documented: The report details rape and other forms of sexual abuse against detainees, used as a method of humiliation, coercion, and control. ➤ Targeting professionals: Doctors, journalists, UN staff, and academics are singled out, indicating an effort to dismantle Palestinian society’s capacity to function. ➤ Gaza as “torture environment”: The report says Israel has turned Gaza into a space where no place is safe, combining bombardment, displacement, starvation, and destruction of homes, hospitals, and cultural sites to inflict collective suffering. ➤ Starvation and siege: Policies cutting food, water, fuel, and aid are described as deliberate tools of mass suffering, with hundreds already dead from malnutrition. ➤ Psychological terror: Constant surveillance, forced displacement of nearly 2 million people, and repeated strikes on “safe zones” create what the report calls a permanent state of fear and coercion. The report from @FranceskAlbs concludes torture is being used both as a method and as evidence of genocidal intent, forming part of a broader system of domination, destruction, and forced removal.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 propublica.org/article/trump-…
BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.
