Even after agreed ceasefire, the panel said a series of Israeli attacks in Gaza “show that Israeli authorities and forces continue to commit genocidal acts with the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in Gaza.”

Shibley Telhami@stelhami.bsky.social

A commission of United Nations human rights experts said on Monday that Israel was committing genocidal acts against Palestinian civilians in Gaza despite a cease-fire agreement there and carrying out crimes against humanity in the West Bank. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/26/w...

All the media "leaks" etc of Israel and US planning 3 days of "intense strikes" to persuade Iran to negotiate the nuclear program... again... what are we doing here

Travis@someforeignfield.bsky.social

Writing a Big Article about the Israeli-American war on Iran and at this point it seems a Round 3 of some kind is inevitable. But I just really have to question how this could be anything beyond a few days of aura farming strikes that kill a bunch of people for no reason, then back to square one.

A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times. 92 per cent had not been sentenced. A third had not even been charged. The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state.

I've seen a lot people saying "Iran only has MANPADS left." I have no doubt their air defense is seriously degraded, but no. We know they have, for example, 15 Khordad systems on Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf, with Sayyad 3 missile boosters being found after recent US drone shootdowns.

Would not want to be the MC-130 crew asked to fly high and slow over Iranian airspace in order to drop a GBU-43 on... something? It's an airburst weapon, genuinely only real use case here is aura farming

Never forget: RBG ruled against the Oneida tribe and cited the racist, white supremacist Doctrine of Discovery.

Rebecca Nagle@rebeccanagle.bsky.social

(6/6) In 2005, SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in City of Sherrill v. Oneida Nation of Indians, wrote that “…the lands occupied by Indians when the colonists arrived became vested in the sovereign – first the discovering European nation and later the original States and the United States.”

The climate crisis in one sentence: We have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to address the UN General Assembly, protesters projected Marwan Barghouti’s image onto a New York bridge, calling for his release after more than 24 years in Israeli prisons.

When Israel carried out a double-tap attack in Gaza against Reuters camera team & rescuers & fellow journalists reporting on the first attack on Aug 25th 2025, killing 19 people, incl. 5 journalists (1 Reuters), Reuters repeated Israeli claim that target was "Hamas camera".' bsky.app/profile/rk70...

Day after #Israel attacked @reuters.com camera crew at Nasser Hospital & killed Reuters' Hussam al-Masry & wounded another Reuters journalist, #Reuters tells its audience that it was ok, because to Israel Reuters = Hamas. 'Fearless' journalism fromWestern 4th Estate. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Is "Hezbollah-affiliated" the new "Hamas-run"? When will the media stop whitewashing genocide? This man is obviously a journalist trying to do his job. Why don't you watch your own video post, Reuters, and try again?

One year ago today, Israel sent a drone to kill Al Jazeera's Anas al-Sharif outside al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. He was 28. He knew what was coming. He wrote his own eulogy before he died: "If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles."

Mojtaba Khamenei’s continued absence from public view has created an unusual system of authority in Tehran, where decisions are made and justified through written messages attributed to him while responsibility appears dispersed across a core establishment network. iranintl.com/en/202608090309

The U.S. bombed the area around the passenger terminal at the Shalamcheh border crossing between Iran and Iraq, killing two people and wounding 11. This is civilian infrastructure used by travelers and trade. The U.S. has still not publicly explained what made it a military target. #Iran #Iraq

Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza for 1000 days and faced no accountability. In that time, Israel has killed more than 21,500 children and has dropped 223,000 tons of explosives—16x more than what the US dropped on Hiroshima.

On June 13th 1954, the US backed a coup against Jacobo Árbenz, the progressive, democratically elected leader of Guatemala, because he sought to restore land to small farmers and Indigenous communities that had been dispossessed by US fruit companies.

Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention: "U.S. slavery is one of the most brutal and long-lasting genocides in history." "The U.S. continues to battle the enduring impact of this centuries-long mass atrocity, which is still deeply entrenched in its social, economic, and political DNA."

Mona and Habiba lived on her family's land for decades. they ran their little ecotourist B&B and helped the turtles through AUB and educated young Lebanese people. they carved out that little bit of peace together through war after war. then the IDF bombed Orange House and killed her.
