Where is the Western media while the genocide continues?
They’re prolonging the negotiations just to give Israel more time to kill civilians.

Povero Netanyahu, ha dovuto rimandare il matrimonio del figlio — troppo impegnato a far morire di fame i palestinesi e bombardare ospedali. Deve essere difficile organizzare una festa durante un genocidio.

FIFA and football federations have banned any gesture of solidarity with Palestine. Players are fined, suspended, silenced — just for denouncing a genocide.
But posing with the fascist Trump, who openly talks about bombing Tehran and supports the ongoing genocide in Gaza? No problem.

Netanyahu oggi ci ricorda che bombardare ospedali è un crimine di guerra secondo il diritto internazionale.
Peccato che dopo aver raso al suolo tutti ospedali a Gaza, ci si ricordi del diritto solo quando le vittime non sono palestinesi.

Advocating for a ceasefire to stop the killing of innocent children is not supporting Hamas. Criticizing the IDF for committing mass atrocities is not supporting Hamas. Standing up for Palestinian rights is not supporting Hamas.
All of that is constitutionally-protected speech.

Israeli Knesset member Almog Cohen incited violence on live TV, calling Ramadan “the best time to kill them” because Muslims are “weak and tired” from fasting. This dehumanizing rhetoric is a blatant violation of human rights and fuels atrocities. #Gaza #stopgenocide

Denying food, water, and medicine to an entire population is not just cruelty—it’s a war crime. Israel’s total siege on Gaza violates fundamental human rights and international law. #HumanRights #Gaza

The state of media for Americans is so completely broken
I want to watch TV coverage of the live fall of the Syrian regime.
CNN is airing a Giuliani documentary, Fox News has a comedian joking about Canada, MSNBC a documentary about migrants
So I turned on BBC,which is breathlessly switching between Syria, South Korea demonstrations, and Ghana election

He is now free… Syria’s longest-serving detainee, “Ragheed Al-Tatri,” has been released after 43 years of imprisonment. He was moved through several prisons, ending up in Tartous Central Prison, and was freed with the last group of detainees following the fall of the tyrant Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
