🗞️ Leaked body-camera footage obtained by Haaretz contradicts Israeli police claims surrounding the violent arrest of a Palestinian Israeli prosecutor in southern city of Be'er Sheva, showing officers storming his apartment, pinning him down, and “beating [him] mercilessly,” despite no visible resistance, according to his lawyers and footage. The prosecutor was hospitalized and underwent surgery for a broken nose and serious injuries to his eye and kidneys. The raid began after an off-duty officer living nearby filed a noise complaint, then entered the apartment without a warrant alongside two other officers. After the family demanded they leave, police later returned with reinforcements, forced their way inside, and arrested the prosecutor along with two relatives — a doctor and nurse at Soroka Medical Center — who were also repeatedly beaten during the raid. All three were imprisoned for three days. According to testimony, officers mocked the bleeding prosecutor during and after the beating, while Israeli police later accused the family of assaulting officers. Story and footage are linked below.

Dear @jk_rowling: Dozens of Palestinian women have testified about sexual violence, including rape, at the hands of Israeli soldiers. Are you going to end your silence? Or do Palestinian women just not matter to you

If Hamas fired a single shot post ceasefire, we’d never stop hearing about it. But Israel has carried out 1,228 airstrikes and shelling attack on Palestinians inside the Gaza concentration camp since the ceasefire began.
Drop Site@DropSiteNews

💢 REPORT | Israeli forces have now carried out 1,228 airstrikes and shelling attacks and 1,060 live-fire incidents across Gaza since the “ceasefire” was agreed to last October, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News. Tuesday alone saw 10 new violations recorded across the Strip, including strikes that killed three Palestinians, among them 15-year-old Mahmoud Mohammad Sahwil, and wounded dozens more. The total number of documented Israeli ceasefire violations has now reached 2,741. 10 incidents recorded on Tuesday: 🔹 Civilian killed and others wounded in a strike targeting a vehicle on Al-Jalaa Street in central Gaza City 🔹 Israeli forces shelled eastern Khan Younis 🔹 Civilian killed and others wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle near Kuwait Roundabout, south of Gaza City 🔹 A girl wounded by Israeli gunfire inside Al-Ikhwa shelter camp in Al-Bureij 🔹 Mahmoud Mohammad Sahwil, 15, killed and several others wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a building in Al-Nasr neighborhood, Gaza City 🔹 Israeli quadcopter drone opened fire near Abu Humaid Roundabout in central Khan Younis 🔹 Israeli forces opened fire toward eastern Khan Younis 🔹 Israeli tank advanced into eastern central Gaza, accompanied by live fire and explosive drops from drones along Salah al-Din Road 🔹 Artillery shelling targeting northeast of Al-Bureij Camp 🔹 Explosive demolition of residential blocks east of Gaza City Since the ceasefire took effect, 837 Palestinians have been killed — including 216 children, 91 women, and 23 elderly — and 2,381 wounded, of whom more than half are children, women, or elderly. 73 civilians have also been detained. Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure. Aid and movement restrictions remain severe: Aid entry ▪️ Only ~37.4% of agreed humanitarian aid has entered — ~224 trucks per day vs. 600 agreed ▪️ Fuel deliveries at just 14.8% of required levels Rafah crossing ▪️ Rafah crossing fully closed on the reported day ▪️ Only 4,446 of 14,200 planned crossings carried out (~31.3%) ▪️ Medical and humanitarian travel remains severely restricted

Imagine these were two blindfolded Israeli women. Imagine Hamas militants had taken this picture. Imagine those women had then disappeared. Imagine the deafening outrage and denunciations of Hamas’ evil. So where is the deafening outrage here?
Ben van der Merwe@_BvdM

In May 2024, @IDF Sgt. Dolev Mor Yossef posted this photo on his Instagram - posing with two blindfolded Palestinian women. The two women have not been seen since.

Like Gaza, Israel is deliberately destroying southern Lebanon to make it uninhabitable for its residents. That’s not a “model” or a “playbook,” it’s a crime against humanity. Call it what it is.

If Jews were being denied access to their place of employment because they were Jews, there would be a global outcry. But because the victims of the hate crime are Palestinians -- and the perpetrators are Jewish -- nobody gives a fuck.

🚨 Israeli settlers, protected by occupation forces, are preventing Palestinian residents and farmers from plowing their lands in Turmusayya town north of Ramallah in the central West Bank.

Like every good Zionist, @HeidiBachram is lying. I filmed this video this morning at the court. Just before Thiago entered the hall, I heard with my own ears the guards removing his cuffs and ordering him to keep his hands behind his back. (This is a common practice, It was the same for me when I was in prison) I have begun searching for a British lawyer to file a copyright infringement lawsuit. Thiago and Saif, who were abducted by the occupation army in international waters six days ago while on the humanitarian flotilla to Gaza, reported insane abuse by the guards. They were severely beaten repeatedly and dragged with their faces on the floor. They are now on an hunger strike. This morning, the court extended their detention by another six days. @AdalahEnglish, representing them, is appealing the decision. The Zionist entity intends to hold a political trial, only because they are acting to break the illegal siege on Gaza. Reminder: approximately 10,000 Palestinian prisoners are held in Israeli torture facilities, we can only imagine what they are enduring. This is Zionism. The Israeli regime is illegitimate, and we must continue to struggle for its dismantling. Free Thiago and Saif! Free the Gaza Ghetto!

There was no period "between October 7 and the beginning of Israel's military campaign." It began immediately! Hundreds were killed in Gaza in the first 24 hours. 7,326 Palestinians were killed by the time Israel's ground campaign began - likely a significant underestimate. Furthermore, Israel's political and military leaders made clear their genocidal intent immediately. There were announcements of a total siege, promises to wipe Gaza out (which were executed) and constant denunciations of the civilian population as having collective guilt - and thus receiving collective punishment. What Simon Schama is doing here is smearing the vast majority who spoke out and protested from the start. We opposed all war crimes. We had a moral consistency that Israel's cheerleaders do not. The vast majority of us opposed the slaughter of Palestinians which began IMMEDIATELY - and the commitments by Israel to commit heinous war crimes and indeed genocide, which it then did. Obviously antisemitism is unacceptable and there is no excuse for it. Making that case is not helped by Israel's cheerleaders constantly conflating antisemitism with opposition to Israel's crimes. This trope that protests about the plight of Palestinians began before "Israel's military campaign" is a racist trope. Palestinian civilians were being slaughtered immediately. This trope treats Palestinian life as being meaningless. Nobody would make such an argument if huge numbers of people whose lives were judged to have meaning were being slaughtered.

These two American doctors served in Gaza. Children "burned until they resembled blistered hotdogs more than human beings". That's what Israel has done to Palestinian children. Yes, Israel cooks children alive.

I think you can see Owen Jones almost hesitate before he makes the accusation that Israel “cooks children alive”, perhaps remembering he is simultaneously trying to prove he is not, in fact, a Hamas propaganda machine.

Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this: "Israel did X." "Yeah, because the Palestinians did Y." "Yeah, because Israel did Z." "Yeah but only because the Arabs did A." But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there. Sure you can go further back and say "Oh yeah well the Jews lived there thousands of years ago," but that's just silly. There's no valid reason to believe some Jewish guy in New York City even has any meaningful lineage connecting him to that land more strongly than any random Muslim in Turkey or wherever, and even if there was, it would still be absurd to cite ancient history as the basis for a territorial claim. I'm only a few generations removed from my ancestry in Ireland and Scotland, but it would be ridiculous for me to show up demanding the home of someone who lives there. So the original source for the grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen. And how has that decision worked out? You see the results before you. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east today. This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected. Zionists will collapse into a shrieking pile of vitriol and hyperbole when you say this, claiming you're calling for the extermination of Jews, but this is false. Certainly ending a national order premised on putting the interests of Jews before Palestinians and righting the wrongs of the past would inconvenience a lot of the Jewish people who've been living there, but there's no basis for the claim that it would entail their deaths. Apartheid South Africa was dismantled without the extermination of millions of white people, and there's no reason to believe the dismantling of apartheid Israel would entail the extermination of Jews. The Israel experiment has been tried, and it has failed. It is time to try something else.

This is insane. The British media only uses “hate marches” to mean marches against killing Palestinians. They don’t even use the term to mean literal far right racist protests! The world has been turned on its head
Des Freedman@lazebnic

None of the 194 stories mentioning "hate marches" uses the term in relation to Tommy Robinson's march on 16 May. The media use the phrase exclusively for pro-Palestine marches. At a time when we need considered debate on challenging antisemitism, the media give us the opposite 4/
