From Waves of Sumud:

"Use your voice, speak up for Palestinians being detained, abused, tortured.

It takes a few minutes to send emails to 47+ government officials. Do it, urgently.

They don't give a f* that once released, hostages will talk, show bruises, knife wounds or point blank rubber bullet shots inflicted by their screws

IOF and its Nazi-ionist government have an agenda and a master plane and it has been going smoothly for 60 years.
They're not acting differently today than in 1987.

I think they just do NOT understand why, so suddenly, western countries operate such a radical 180° change in their attitude towards the very same inhuman treatment they've been blind to when committed to Palestinian hostages.

#Zionists behave as they've been behaving since 1967, no more, no less.

What shocks them is that what our coward governments, who for 60 years did pooh wherever and lick whichever ass US emperors told them to, change the rules of this morbid game in a snap and decide that what was ok yesterday is today an abomination .

They haven't seen it coming, just as US army hasn't seen 2026 warfare tactics shifting to such a point.

The one with the biggest isn't the scariest anymore, but too late for #USA to change so radically and so quickly their posture, as it is too late for Zionists to change their genocidal habits from one day to the other.

From now on, their will be a before and an after the #torture of the #Sumud flotilla #hostages.

New Sheffield street art. Free Marwan Barghouti.

New street art recently appeared in Sheffield, at the junction of Upper Allen Street and Meadow Street. It features the Palestinian flag and a picture of a handcuffed Marwan Barghouti.

It was commissioned by the Sheffield Nablus Twinning Association and painted by Trik09, to raise awareness of Marwan Barghouti and over 10,000 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.

But who is Marwan Barghouti and why is he being called Palestine’s Nelson Mandela?

Marwan Barghouti, like many Palestinians fighting for freedom, has been held in abusive conditions for decades in Israeli jails, after a trial described by legal experts as “flawed”. Marwan Barghouti has been imprisoned by Israel since April 2002, totalling over 24 years as of early 2026. Convicted in 2004, charged with multiple murder charges related to the Second Intifada, for which there does not appear to be any conclusive evidence, he is serving five consecutive life sentences plus 40 years. He is considered the longest-serving high-profile Palestinian prisoner and the most popular political leader of the Palestinians.

This article tells his story. 

The campaign for his release has been relaunched internationally in conjunction with the Red Ribbon campaign, highlighting more than 10,000 Palestinians held hostage by the Israeli state, including more than 350 children, often without charge or trial. The Israelis do not want to release Marwan, often referred to as ‘the Palestinian Mandela’, because the majority of Palestinians recognise and respect him as a unifying leader.

Julie Pearn from Sheffield Nablus Twinning Association explained, “ We are a civil society organisation which promotes friendship, dialogue and collaboration between Sheffield and the West Bank city of Nablus across all sectors. Friendship to us means solidarity and campaigning for justice for a people suffering under illegal Israeli occupation.”

This video of Marwan was recorded in prison 18 years ago.

Trump says US will start to 'guide' stranded ships out of Strait of Hormuz

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced “Project Freedom” to help ships leave the Strait of Hormuz, starting on Monday. He says the project aims to assist “neutral and innocent” countries affected by the Iran war. Iran has rejected it. Trump also says ongoing discussions with Iran could lead to positive outcomes. Two ships around the strait were attacked on Sunday, according to the British military. Meanwhile, Tehran is reviewing a U.S. response to its proposal to end the war and says nuclear issues are not included.
