Israel keeps killing journalists, usually accusing them of being part of Hamas's military, rarely offering any proof beyond its own worthless assertions. aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/10…
On June 25, the IDF announced that they killed a man that owns&runs a howala/money transfer network that's allegedly facilitating money transfers between Iranian factions & Hezbollah. One of 6 alleged facilitators. A precident. A brief thread🧵 source in alt text 1/
A right-wing Israeli mob came to my family’s home yesterday to search for me, threatening close family members who fled to another town in the middle of the night. I am still getting death threats and had to cancel my flight home. This happened after Israeli media and German…
Of the list of 300 Palestinians to be released (only 150 will be released) there are: - 270 children under age of 18 - 230 have never been convicted - 4 are under age of 14
#journorequest Looking to contact an international maritime law expert really urgently and since I'm shadowbanned, retweeting would be most helpful
Independent human rights experts: “We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide. The time for action is now. Israel’s allies also bear responsibility and must act now to prevent its disastrous course of action.” ohchr.org/en/latest
Days ago Al-Jazeera was threatened by US & Israel on its coverage of the massacres in Gaza. Moments ago, Israeli strikes targeted senior correspondent (Wael Dahdouh’s) family. His wife, 2 kids. Gone. Crying over his bodies he said “They’re getting revenge through the kids?!”
Why are so many people struggling with the idea that Palestinian children and Israeli children must be valued EQUALLY?? #Palestine #Israel
Members of the western left endorsing Hamas's intentional murder of Israelis civilians exposes their moral bankruptcy. The same can be said of many liberals and liberal leaders that are supporting the collective punishment of people in Gaza. Moral depravity all around.

I remember flying back from Saudi Arabia and i saw that the new Jurassic world dominion was on the in-flight screen, If I had to sum it up I would rather go back to jail rather then watch that again.
Step by step, Ukraine and the West are now moving toward speaking to the Kremlin from the position of strength. And China has made its position crystal clear - no nuclear warfare in Europe, and the Russian war is making way too many problems.
Shevchenko Park in central Kyiv now. Probably the city’s busiest park, usually packed with people and street musicians
Big bangs in Kyiv, air raid on - one close to me in western Kyiv that set off car alarms, counted three more further off. Air raids across whole country. Reports of hits in center on Twitter. Air defenses firing.
Today is a good day for Europe! Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Moldova 🇲🇩 are granted the candidate status to become part of the European family. Georgia 🇬🇪 is given the perspective to become a member of the EU. #EUCO
Unprecedented crowds rally in Tbilisi in protest over the Georgian Dream Government's antidemocratic and Russia-friendly trajectory culminating in @EU_Commission's negative recommendation on whether to grant Georgia candidacy status
🇬🇪 Today the whole #Georgia is and out of the country stands united in the commitment and defense of that country’s European future. Capital city’s central street #Rustaveli is blocked. #GE2EU #HomeToEU #Candidacy4Georgia
BREAKING: The European Commission has recommended that Georgia be denied EU candidate status later this month, while stating that both Ukraine and Moldova should be offered candidacy. oc-media.org/eu-commission-…
A disappointing day for Georgia...
