"A genocide abroad is helping usher in fascism at home. Poll after poll shows the UK and US publics have switched their support from the #Israelis to the #Palestinians. And the response from the pro- #Israel people in power, having seen that they cannot win the argument on #Palestine, is to now prevent the argument from happening." -- excellent piece here by Mehdi Hasan

It was once an article of faith that even those who speak words we disagree with deserve protection. As regards Palestine, that’s now not true, says Mehdi Hasan, editor-in-chief and CEO of Zeteo
Amnesty International has accused Israel of carrying out a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank. The London-based rights group says the Israeli government is deliberately trying to annex the Palestinian territory. The accusation came in a new, 149-page report released on Wednesday. It alleges that the forced displacement of West Bank Palestinians resulted from a state policy, not just the actions of violent settlers. The United Nations says over 100 West Bank villages were fully or partially emptied out between January 2023 and April 2026. Israel did not immediately respond to the report. It has denounced past accusations as longtime unfair bias against Israel.
This is #ISRAEL.
THIS IS WHAT THEY DO TO #PALESTINIANS WHILE THE MEDIA RUNS COVER FOR THEM!

#UNReport: Armed Groups Have Beaten, Mained and Executed Dozens of #Palestinians
A new report by the United Nations says armed groups and police units in Gaza have beaten, maimed and publicly executed dozens of Palestinians. The U.N. documented hundreds of cases of extrajudicial punishment, including “kneecapping, bone-breaking with metal pipes or cement bricks and beatings.” Al Jazeera has reported that certain armed groups in Gaza have been known to serve as Israeli agents, and that Israel has provided weapons and other assistance for these groups to oppose Hamas. In related news, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza who was detained by Israeli forces in December 2024, has been reportedly transferred to another prison and placed in solitary confinement, according to the Israeli group Physicians for Human Rights. Abu Safiya has reportedly faced torture, starvation and denial of medical care as his health worsens after over 500 days of Israeli imprisonment without charge. Meanwhile, a separate U.N. report has found Israeli forces are directly involved in settler attacks that have killed, wounded and displaced Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, while Israeli soldiers protect settlers. This comes as France has banned Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering the country for promoting the annexation of the occupied West Bank and Gaza. In related news, Italian prosecutors have launched a probe against far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir over reports of torture by members of the Gaza humanitarian aid flotilla who were abducted by Israeli forces last month.
