Putin zabił 21 emerytów stojących w kolejce po emeryturę. Nie do wiary, że w Polsce rosną nastroje antyukraińskie. Rzygać się chce.
At least 21 civilians were killed and more than two dozen injured following a barbaric direct Russian strike with an air bomb on ordinary people lined up to receive pensions in the village of Yarova in the Donetsk region.
This heinous crime demands worldwide condemnation and action. We urge the world to speak out and act immediately. We call on European partners, the United States, G20 members, and all who value human life and the UN Charter to take action.
We are currently informing all of our partners and international organizations about the details of this horrific crime. And we expect strong responses. Russian criminals must face justice for this and other atrocities.
Russian propaganda claims to be "saving" people in the Donetsk region, but in reality, it is dropping massive air bombs on people who came to receive pensions. Russia brings only death, horror, and destruction.
Collective and decisive action, including devastating sanctions pressure and additional support for Ukraine's defense and resilience, can and must stop Russian terror.

By failing to sanction Israel, EU leaders are complicit in its crimes. They must act now

Kudos to all academic moms who bring their children to conference panels — and to those who miss their little ones because they couldn’t. We need to normalise both: caregiving in academic spaces and the emotional labour of being away. @ipsa_aisp

There have been a few videos like this recently, showing men breaking down during funeral prayers. I keep thinking about how over 20 months we have seen Palestinian men’s faces and demeanor just collapse - the non-stop fatigue, grief, burden & realization of betrayal now shows on them.

Suddenly, something is shifting.
Israel's apologists have realised that a reckoning is coming.
They understand that they're not going to get away with this abomination.
And they are absolutely right 👇

14,000 babies are at risk of dying in the next 48 hours in Gaza if aid doesn’t reach them, warns Tom Fletcher, the UN’s under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs – a figure he called “utterly chilling.”

The tiny bodies of children in Gaza, hollowed out by induced starvation, are testimony of the worst humanity is capable of.
It is time to impose an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel, and urgently deploy a protection presence made of friendly soldiers (not from states who have supported the genocide).
It is time for the UNGA to act under "Uniting for Peace" resolution.

🌐French journalists stand in solidarity with the hundreds of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza by Israel to prevent reporting on the genocide.
I wonder what it takes for other journalists to stand against the slaughtering of their colleagues.

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

Gaza is still just an endless series of airstrikes and massacres. The DC experts said the way to rein this in was to "hug Bibi" and somehow magically control Netanyahu. Its long past time to move past that idiocy and just stop the arms shipments fueling this nightmare.
Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed at least 69 Palestinians over the last 24 hours, including a journalist and rescue workers.

a person can simultaneously celebrate syria's liberation from dictatorship & worry about syria's future with HTS, celebrate hizb's resistance against israel & condemn hizb's role in syria and in lebanon. the brain/body can carry all these mixed thoughts and feelings. 3adi.

Syrians are allowed to dream again- The future is far from certain, but a ruthless dictator is toppled. If you cannot understand this relief and understand it stems from the desire people have to be free, and live in dignity, stay silent. Time to show some humility and empathy…

Każda złotówka zainwestowana w badania i innowacje generuje od 4 do 7 zł zwrotu w gospodarce. Dziś Premier @donaldtusk przekazał kolejne 0,5 mld zł na Narodowe Centrum Nauki @NCN_PL, które wspiera działalność naukową w zakresie kluczowych badań podstawowych. Potrzebujemy innowacyjnej gospodarki i budowania nowych silników wzrostu gospodarczego 🇵🇱

Generations of Israelis will have to live with what we have done in Gaza over the last year. Some will have to explain why they didn't refuse to bomb. Others will have to explain why they didn't do more to stop the horror.

Stop this pontification- the genocide has to stop.

💔Tyre is Lebanon's mixed city more than any other, a model of public beaches accessible and practiced by all, culture and archeology intertwined with residential neighborhoods, important cultural assets above and below the sea-levels.
