Israeli occupation forces detonate residential buildings east of Gaza City.
Trump's peace is definitely working in Central Gaza at the moments where huge bombings are heard 👇

Ramot neighborhood. Jerusalem.
Two hooligans were looking for an Arab to attack him for the fun of it (that's what they said in the investigation).
They found an older man, a sanitation worker for the Jerusalem Municipality.
They broke his ribs and teeth and cuts on his face. He was hospitalized.

Did someone* try to assassinate Zelensky with drones targeting his flight to Dublin? Because flying four large drones into the expected flight path (the plane was early) looks like an assassination attempt.
*Yes, obviously Russia is the likely suspect, but not literally the only possibility.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel dropped ~200,000 tonnes of explosives, equivalent of ~14 ATOMIC BOMBS, on Gaza in 2 years.

Wild to think how much profit Amazon scooped this Black Friday - and all the tax that could be unpaid on it.
🚨BREAKING: Greenpeace Luxembourg activists have delivered a message to Amazon on their European headquarters.
Activists are exposing Amazon’s tax avoidance AND their reported provision of crucial cloud computing services and data storage to Netanyahu’s government and the Israeli Defense Forces 😡

Average person who talked about a Syria test for 14 years is completely ok with this btw
According to local Syrian media, the IDF which occupies all of Palestine, much of southern Lebanon, and huge swathes of southwestern Syria, attempted to arrest a Syrian civilian tonight in Beit Jinn but was met with resistance from the locals, and in turn the IDF killed two people via airstrike.
Deleted last post because the battle in Beit Jinn is apparently still ongoing

Trump is a traitor, but we wouldn’t be in this situation had Europe provided Ukraine with the frozen Russian assets.
Ukraine would have far more leverage.
It’s not too late to do it now!
