Um, so I got a new phone. This is some crazy pocket size technology.
PS. Don't try zooming, it's not good enough to catch that much detail 380,000km away

Seriously, at this stage how is Isreal still being allowed to compete internationally? It is undeniably engaged in an ethic cleansing campaign. Wtf will it take for the sporting world to take a stand?

Trump is owned

Trump, notorious for his aggressive handshakes, gets owned. His face says he knows it too

Al Jazeera is reporting 56 aid seekers in the last 24 hours

Signing up for Al Jazeera's updates has been a massive eye opener to the ongoing scale of horrors Israel is inflicting in Gaza. Just to see the numbers each makes it impossible to look away

I hope no one is thinking about giving Israel any credit for being forced into doing the absolute bare minimum months late.
Also, BBC. Warnings of starvation? I think you mean widespread starvation that has killed more than 120 including 80 children.

You have to ask how Greg Abbott can support Trump under these conditions. Also, why does everyone who asks awkward questions have to be a loser to these people?

When you hear Bob Vylan being accused of hate speech remember Israeli government ministers and the US president have openly called for ethnic cleansing.
Even if 2 wrongs don't make a right they can definitely highlight injustice and expose tyranny.

So I just opened a Truth Social account for shits and giggles. This is the first ad I see. Grift and gullibility setting the tone
