Israeli forces shot a Palestinian girl in the head, killing her in the al-Faluja area of Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza on Thursday, Palestinian news agency WAFA reported. The Palestinian Information Center identified her as 17-year-old Rafif Labad. At least five Palestinians have been killed across Gaza today. Drop Site’s Mohamed Ahmed reported from the ground at the site of another attack in Gaza ⬇️
🔴 “These are our people. We’re putting our own people in bags—just body parts.” At least five Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza, including two in an airstrike targeting a vehicle in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City, where Drop Site’s Mohamed Ahmed filmed Civil Defense crews recovering the victims' remains. “Just body parts. That’s all that’s in this bag. These are our people,” Civil Defense worker Hamza Ayoub said, holding a bag containing human remains. “God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.” 🔸 Elsewhere, a teenage girl was shot in the head and killed by Israeli forces in the Al-Faluja area of northern Gaza. An Israeli drone strike killed one Palestinian in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, while another strike in western Khan Younis killed one person. 🔸 At least 13 Palestinians were also wounded in an Israeli drone strike in northern Gaza City, according to the Palestine Red Crescent. 🔸 Since October 11, 2025, the first full day of the so-called ceasefire, Israel has killed at least 1,538 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 5,498. 🎥 Mohamed Ahmed

700k a year salary on offer here for a U.K. director of the front group Creative Community for Peace, created by StandWithUs, with the aid of covert money from the Zionist regime itself. CCfP was, if you recall, the group which was behind the secret attempt to stop @KNEECAPCEOL from playing @glastonbury last year. Unfortunately for the vile Zionist figures in the music industry who signed on to that effort, it quickly became non secret when I was sent a copy of their covert email. A long thread naming and shaming them all then followed, to much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the defenders of genocide. Just for fun, I will post the thread in the replies below. Enjoy!

Women and girls continue to be killed in the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza. On Thursday, Israeli forces shot 17-year-old Rafif Raed Labad in the head, killing her in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to Palestinian media. On October 10, Palestinian child Fatima Ahmed Shawqi al-Rayyes (pictured) died after spending 60 days in intensive care following an Israeli bombardment. Two of her young relatives, Suwar and Celina, were also killed. Among the countless victims is Mayar (pictured), a 19-year-old Palestinian physiotherapist killed in October 2023 after an Israeli bombing that also claimed the life of her mother, Nisreen.
🇸🇩 🇦🇪 Hillary Clinton and UAE Minister of State Noura Al Kaabi took the stage together at a Forbes women's leadership summit in New York last week, in a conversation moderated by Clinton's longtime aide Huma Abedin. The event celebrated Emirati women's leadership as the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) wage a campaign of mass rape and genocide in Sudan. The Forbes 30/50 Summit is chaired by MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski, with Experience Abu Dhabi, the emirate's state tourism arm, as host partner. Sudan did not come up at all in the half hour long conversation. Instead, Al Kaabi described the UAE as a victim of "a war that we didn't choose," referring to the US-Israeli war on Iran, then said life at home is "wonderful," adding, "We're back to business” as she promoted December's opening of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. She also warned that "extremism starts with hate speeches... with people starting to separate colors, religions, backgrounds." The UAE’s RSF militia has targeted non-Arab communities in Darfur by ethnicity in mass ethnic cleansing massacres. Clinton praised the UAE for holding its society together, and Brzezinski closed by calling the pair "two of the most accomplished women in the world." Monday marks one year since the RSF overran El Fasher in North Darfur, slaughtering civilians in the streets, in hospitals and as they fled. The UN documented at least 6,000 killed in the first three days and found "hallmarks of genocide." Academics put the toll at more than 60,000 in three weeks, and leading researchers estimate as many as 150,000 residents killed and unaccounted for. UN investigators found RSF commanders ordered rape and killings, and UN experts have extensively documented the UAE of arming and funding the RSF. Clinton said the U.S. must stop "putting our personal financial interests first" and pick leaders "with integrity." Days after the summit, the UAE nominated its envoy to the UN, Lana Nusseibeh, for UN Secretary-General.

Crowds of Palestinians pressed against a food distribution point in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, as cuts to food aid push families back toward famine. The scenes come days after the World Food Programme cut food assistance in Gaza by about a third, citing funding shortages. Some 500,000 people lost aid, and WFP now reaches 1.1 million people, down from 1.6 million in September. Families now get one food parcel instead of two, and daily hot meals have fallen from 250,000 to 150,000. WFP says it needs $450 million to keep operations running through March. About 1.4 million people in Gaza, two-thirds of the population, face crisis-level hunger or worse, and 200,000 need immediate food aid to avoid starvation, according to the UN. 🎥 Shehab News (Telegram)
🚨 BREAKING: Half a million Palestinians in Gaza will lose monthly food assistance as funding shortages force major World Food Programme cuts ahead of winter, ABC News Australia reports. ➤ WFP is reducing its monthly reach from 1.6 million people to 1.1 million. Families receiving two food parcels will now get one, and flour bags will shrink. ➤ Daily hot meals have fallen from 250,000 to 150,000. Some families in hard-to-reach areas will receive meals every other day instead of daily. Cash assistance for 75,000 families is being cut by 40%. ➤ WFP’s Carl Skau said traditional donors, including the U.S. and Europe, have reduced funding. “It’s not because the needs are down … it’s only due to the lack of funding,” Skau told ABC. ➤ Around 1.4 million people face crisis-level hunger or worse, including 200,000 in emergency conditions. WFP says it urgently needs $450 million for six months of operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Seems @andyburnham’s ultimatum to Green councillors is backfiring, and Zionist fanatics are worried. Barnet’s only Green Charli Anne Thompson apparently holds the balance of power and she’s holding the line in favour of the Zionism is racism policy. Full letter follows

As @Sagal_AW is still a councillor and a Party of Camden Labour Group, this is also issued in her name. So Sagal is claiming that a large number of Jewish Camden residents, including the Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos, who co-endorsed the motion and lives locally, are antisemitic by implication. It would include Andrew Feinstein, the son of a Holocaust survivor, who has spoken in favour of aspects of the motion declaring Zionism racist. Sagal has said almost nothing of any substance about Gaza and Palestine in the last six years; her only comments being about the need for "social cohesion." At yet she is now part of the Camden Labour Group that has claimed that calling Zionism is racist is antisemitic and that anytime who supports that view is engaged in Jew-hate; a Group that is calling many Camden Jews and people of conscious antisemitic. Let's see how well that goes for her at the next election, shall we?
We wrote to Camden Green Party about the divisive “Zionism is Racism” motion 👇 In Camden, we will always stand up for the safety and security of all of our communities. Residents need to know whether @camdengp agree.

Looks like billionaires will stay and figure out a way to pay the tax. If we pass Prop 40, poor California kids can have healthcare. Gavin, can you and Sergey Brin stop with your fear-mongering of a billionaire exodus?
This is huge. A just-released SEC filing makes an extraordinary revelation: Mark Zuckerberg is getting ready to pay California’s 5% billionaire wealth tax and has signed an agreement to remain in California for 8 years. We are witnessing a global turning point unfold before our eyes. 🧵

"No podemos permitir que los gazatíes se queden en Gaza, hay que sacarlos de allí por tierra vía Egipto, por mar o por aire a través del aeropuerto. No nos importa donde vayan pero hay que permitir que se vayan, es un deber moral". Vean la campaña electoral en "Israel", Omer Waldman, candidata a entrar en el parlamento por el partido ultra sionista Zehut, pide la limpieza étnica masiva de los palestinos de Gaza mientras la intenta vender como algo "moral". En "Israel" las elecciones son como una carrera de colonos donde miden quién es más criminal que el otro, quién más fanático sea, ganará los votos de la enferma sociedad colonial sionista.

The UN +Western Powers gave Saudi / UAE permission to bomb Yemen back to the Stone age - Where was the UN concern for the 400,000 Civilians killed by the UN backed Coalition..? What did you @antonioguterres do to stop the Genocide in Gaza..?
Escalating hostilities in Yemen & continued Houthi attacks against civilian targets in Saudi Arabia - which are totally unacceptable - are inflicting immense suffering on civilians & adding to regional tensions.  We need restraint. And Yemen needs a political horizon.

My article on the appropriation of my great-uncle Gareth Jones’s legacy by diaspora Ukrainian OUN nationalists has been taken offline, just a day after publication. The removal is apparently temporary, pending a solution acceptable to critics of the article’s treatment of the Holodomor. I’m told that Anne Applebaum may be involved in that solution. We will see. I thank HOT for having the courage to publish the article in the first place and hope they will soon restore it. Historical arguments and inconvenient truths should be answered with debate, not taken out of public view. But truth and the UK's drive to war do not go together - that is why truth about Ukraine, and how we have arrived at this perilous juncture, is today one of the last things to be found in the United Kingdom's media. However, my talk, ‘The Real Gareth Jones - Separating Truth from Fiction’, will still go ahead in Hastings on 7 November, come hell or high water. I will post an update when the article is back online.
"Unlike the Nazis, however, the OUNb never went away or faced justice. The organisation continues today in the West as a clandestine, cult-like group, helping reshape post-Soviet Ukraine in its image, operating through various diaspora front groups. In the 1980s, when the OUNb’s role in the Holocaust came under public scrutiny, and Ukrainians like John Demjanjuk faced war-crimes proceedings, diaspora nationalists instrumentalised the famine to deflect growing attention from their collaboration with the Nazis, fashioning an interpretation of it as a specifically Ukrainian genocide." hastingsonlinetimes.co.uk/ho…
