This staggering act of ecocide is not even receiving mainstream coverage

💢 “Black rain” and “nuclear winter” effect reported in Tehran after Israeli strikes on oil facilities ▪️ Israeli strikes on oil depots around Tehran have released massive quantities of toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Mixed with rainwater, these chemicals are causing highly acidic precipitation that can cause skin burns and severe lung damage upon contact, according to Iranian authorities. ▪️ Dense plumes of black smoke from the Shahran and other refineries have blotted out the sun, plunging parts of the city into darkness and creating a "nuclear winter" effect, NYT reported. Authorities warned that these noxious fumes cause acute respiratory distress and eye irritation. ▪️ Oil-saturated rainwater has blanketed the city, leaving rooftops, balconies, and streets covered in a thick, murky black liquid and oily soot. This contamination poses a long-term risk of heavy metals like nickel and vanadium leaching into the soil and local water systems. ▪️ Environmental groups warn the pollution threatens migratory birds crossing the Persian Gulf. The "black rain" and smoke plumes can cause internal organ damage and destroy the insulating properties of bird feathers, leading to hypothermia and death. The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of the dangers of the rain, advising residents to protect themselves and to cover exposed food from oily soot particles. Officials said the rain is highly corrosive and could potentially damage civilian structures. 🎥 Day time in Iran (clip via @tparsi). CNN reports on “oil rain” below.

@TheHoopGenius Should just do flat draft odds for any team that misses the playoffs. That’d be fun and there’s no incentive to tank.

This isn’t Gaza today, it’s Yafa in 1948. No Hamas, no October 7. Just the same story repeating itself: erase, then occupy.

هذه ليست رفح ولا جباليا ولا عيتا الشعب في جنوب لبنان هذا حي المنشية في يافا في حرب 1948 يومها لم تكن هنالك حماس ولا السابع من أكتوبر، بل حتى الجيوش العربية لم تكن قد دخلت فلسطين بعد! دمروا يافا وقتلوا وهجروا أهلها تحت إشراف الاحتلال البريطاني، بدأ العدوان على المدينة بتفجير مبنى السرايا الحكومي في 2/1/1948 مما أدى لاستشهاد العشرات، ثم حصار المدينة وقصفها ابتداءً من شهر شباط (2) حتى سقوط المدينة في 28/4/1948 - بريطانيا خرجت في 15/5/1948 وفي نفس اليوم أعلن قيام إسرائيل وفي اليوم التالي دخلت الجيوش العربية. لم يكن يدافع عن المدينة سوى أبنائها وبعض المتطوعين الفلسطينيين والعرب، كتب عن حصار يافا بشكل مفصل الباحث بلال شلش في كتابه "يافا.. دمٌ على حجر: حامية يافا وفعلها العسكري: دراسة ووثائق". التدمير والقتل والتهجير هو في صلب العقيدة الصهيونية وليست ردة فعل على عمل مقاوم، تدمير المباني بعد تهجير أهالها حصل في أكثر من 500 قرية فلسطينية بعد النكبة، قلة قليلة جدًا نجت من التدمير، ما يحصل في غزة ليس سوى استمرار لـ 77 عامًا من الإبادة الجماعية. ياسين عز الدين

Children in famine can be saved from death or permanent organ damage with peanut paste supplements such as PlumpyNut. UN Under Sec-Gen for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher discussed the effect of Israel’s decision to declare it a “luxury” and ban it from Gaza as children starve.

Should have known better than to think #CFC could come away from Old Trafford with three points 🙄 @MattDaviesAdams, @bosherL & Simon are going to have to talk about that pretty disastrous evening in the Manchester rain on Monday’s pod… Let’s have your thoughts or questions 💬
Simon Johnson@SJohnsonSport

That's it, #CFC lose 2-1. Too little too late in the end as they finally provided a threat in the closing stages. All the damage done with a very sloppy opening to the game. It left them with too much to do. Palmer's possible injury makes it an even worse evening. #MUNCHE

Millions of Canadians pushed for this recognition & it matters. But recognition alone is not enough. Canada must act to end the ongoing genocide & forced starvation in Gaza & the annexation of the West Bank. Without action, there will be little left of Palestine to recognize.

This building is literally surrounded by tents full of families who have been displaced. No doubt debris from this total destruction killed dozens of innocent people. And here’s the current Minister of National Security celebrating it. Pure evil.

@CanadaFP @AlJazeera Canada calls for "full accountability," while refusing to take any action whatsoever to hold Israel accountable. An egregious and lethal hypocrisy.

This is staggeringly overdue, but certainly very welcome. Statehood is about finally acknowledging the identity, dignity, aspirations, humanity, rights and existence of the Palestinian people. It is about upholding their foundational right to self determination, which applies universally to ALL OF US (there is no Palestine exception), and is unequivocally and prominently enshrined in international law. This never should have been a debate, never should have been an issue and never should have been withheld. That it has been is rooted in colonialism and racism that shames us all. This is also about setting a genuine path (the only path in fact) to lasting peace and sustainable security for Palestinians and Israelis alike. For this is the path grounded in respect for human rights, always the best guarantor of peace and security. There truly can be no conditions that attach to upholding a right so fundamental as this, which is where the UK gets it so entirely wrong. Canada's insistence that this is predicated on democracy flourishing in Palestine may offer simplistic, stirring and encouraging words. But, truly, in what universe -- where genocide has yet to abate and lives, institutions, buildings and infrastructure have been destroyed and flattened in Gaza at a scale none of us could begin to shoulder and cope with in our own lives, and extremist settlers continue to maraud, kill and dispossess Palestinian villagers from their homes and land in the West Bank -- is there the slightest prospect of free and fair elections in 2026. Standing with the Palestinian people as their statehood grows and flourishes has to be a much more meaningful and complicated journey, and one that must always put their rights at the forefront. They are owed that and so very much more. And please @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP this is not a moment for us to sit back with false pride that Canada has now done the right thing for Palestinians. In fact all we have done is take a first step (or more to the point, signaled that we intend to take that first step in six weeks or so) that we should have taken decades ago. On that point, the 532 law professors, lawyers, academics, former ambassadors, and civil society, labour and faith leaders who wrote to you almost eight weeks ago, laying out urgent recommendations (obligations in fact) for Canadian action, are still waiting for acknowledgement, let alone a reply: alexneve.ca/blog/prime-min…
Mark Carney@MarkJCarney

Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution — an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.   My statement on Canada’s recognition of a Palestinian state:

1/3 Israeli military operations against WHO staff and facilities, World Food Programme aid convoys, & the ongoing killing of Palestinians seeking urgently needed food and water are unacceptable. Civilians, incl. aid workers, must be protected.

Canada, May 19: "If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions..." Canada, July 21: "We are prepared to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire..." What action and when?
Anita Anand@AnitaAnandMP

The suffering of civilians in Gaza is horrific. Together with 25 other partners, Canada‘s message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now. We call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages and a full resumption of humanitarian aid, including food. Please see our collective statement below.
