New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever. Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car. Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother. In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.

Every single time, without fail, when I'm researching details about [insert latest Israeli atrocity], I am overwhelmed by evidence of the exact same atrocities being committed by Israel over and over again for decades, and every time the western media reports from the time of the incident is a breathless defense of this criminal apartheid regime and a list of all the reasons the Palestinians are the real problem, actually. Writing up a piece about the Mavi Marmara right now (16 years today) and it's just stunning. I can't believe I was as blind to this as I once was. Even more I can't believe how many people still are. More soon.

Big up to the guy who confronted that zionist hag Helen Mirren and called her an "evil zionist bitch" to her face. I like how she thought he was a fan at first & as soon as she heard "zionist" her face dropped. Delicious.

BREAKING: The US just quietly removed UN expert Francesca Albanese from its sanctions list, a week after a federal judge temporarily blocked the measures over free speech violations, according to Reuters. This was never about law or policy … it was about silencing among the most powerful advocates for Palestinian human rights. Judge Richard Leon saw through it. He called out the Trump administration for targeting @FranceskAlbs "because of the idea or message expressed"—for daring to recommend arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for their crimes in Gaza. They weaponized sanctions to weaken her mission, to make an example of anyone who dares challenge Israeli impunity. But Francesca never backed down. The prosecutor’s ICC charges against Netanyahu remain. The genocide in Gaza continues. But today, truth scored a win.

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his wife PANIC when confronted about killing a generation of children in Palestine while their own kids are present. “Please, with the children!” They plead. Activist responds by asking if it’s “just your children” they care about says she’s feels sorry for their kids — “one day they’ll grow up and read the news.”

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Okay , I am in the story , let us go to court even in Israel . You will find hundreds of cases . I am ready to testify and bring many many victims with me .
Following the publication by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times of one of the most hideous and distorted lies ever published against the State of Israel in the modern press, which also received the backing of the newspaper, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar have instructed the initiation of a defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours: “On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists. Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.” It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

Still in shock we got to open an Alpha pack at on Pack it Up in Vegas, and even more shocked that I ended up winning the cards. It's taking all my strength to not immediately stick the Mountain and Plains into my sleeveless Rocco/Norin deck.

A famous Silicon Valley tech guy who made bank at Facebook and wrote a best-selling book on that experience shared how his kids must attend Ivies and how not attending one himself *literally* ruined his life. Part of the rant included how he completely cut off all family relations once he realized the magnitude of the mistake of not having gone to one, how he talked to his mother only after she got cancer. I wish I was joking but this was literally all his own words, check the screenshot. Mind you, this guy is still “filled with bottomless rage” over his parents’ unintentional mistake, even at 50 years old. I don’t think I’ve seen this level of victimhood and blame before, especially from someone with his level of career success. Anyways, this gives you a peep into the spiritual sickness of the Bay Area. The striverism and the money/status chasing have made many very unwell.
Replying to @antoniogm
You quickly deleted the last addendum to this thread… pretty nasty behavior and attitude given the context you provided. You disowned your family after retroactively acquiring personal insecurities about not attending an Ivy? You blame them for that? Insane.

If China — the world’s largest manufacturing power, the largest goods exporter, the country building EVs, ships, drones, solar panels, batteries, robots, high-speed rail, ports, and power grids at industrial scale — is going to become “the poorest nation on earth,” then what exactly is Japan? Your spiritual motherland has had three lost decades, a shrinking population, stagnant wages, hollowed-out industry, and GDP smaller than it was a decade ago in dollar terms. But somehow China is the one “collapsing.” Funny. A man who couldn’t build a career in China, fled to Japan, and now survives by selling China-collapse fan fiction to an audience desperate for doom porn wants to lecture 1.4 billion people about poverty. This is exile monetization. China’s problem is that it keeps building too much. Your problem is that without China, you have nothing to sell.
China Will Become the Poorest Nation on Earth
