An Oxfam analysis found that 1,244 Palestinians, including 268 children, were killed by Israeli forces or settlers in the West Bank between 2023 and 2025, exceeding the total killed during the previous 17 years combined. The report also found that nearly 46,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced over the same three-year period amid escalating military operations, settler violence, and settlement expansion.

One of the most horrifying and brutal scenes ever captured on camera in modern history. Israeli soldiers opened fire on thousands of starving Palestinians in Gaza as they ran in desperation trying to get a piece of food during the war on Gaza. A moment the world must never forget.

A reminder: At this moment, the Israeli regime is continuing its genocide in Palestine with murderous attacks on civilians in Gaza and bloody pogroms in the West Bank, abusing thousands of Palestinian hostages in dungeons and torture camps, perpetrating the crime of apartheid, bombing Lebanese villages and towns, unlawfully occupying Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, openly celebrating the regime’s pirating, torture, and sexual assault of crew from the humanitarian flotilla, preparing for further aggression and war crimes in Iran, corrupting Western governments, and persecuting human rights defenders through regime proxies across the globe. Do not let complicit media corporations erase these realities, distract you, or weaken your resolve to fight this evil. The threat is spreading and the moment is urgent.

اٹھتر سال کی بد نصیبی نہی۔ پانچ ہزار سال کے غربت کے ریکارڈ ٹوٹ گئے۔ سات دریاؤں کی دھرتی میں کبھی بھوک ننگ نہی آئ تھی۔ اس کا سہرا موجودہ حکومت کو ہے کہ انہوں نے لہلہاتے کھیت ویران کیے۔ پہلی دفعہ تاریخ میں دیہات میں شہروں سے غربت زیادہ ہوئ۔ انہوں نے انڈسٹری تباہ کی کیونکہ اپنے لگے آئ پی پی کارخانے ان کا نقصان نہ ہو جس سے پوری صنعت بیٹھ گئ۔ ان کے کارخانے بغیر بجلی بنائے منافع کما رہے ہیں جب کہ عام آدمی پس رہا ہے اور صنعت اتنی مہنگی بجلی پر چل نہی سکتی۔ حل ہو نہی سکتا۔ کیونکہ منافع خور حکومت میں ہیں۔ کیسے کاٹے گیں اپنے منافع کو۔ یہ ملک ان سرمایہ کاروں کے ہاتھ گروی ہو چکا۔ کر لو جو کرنا ہے۔ باقی بجٹ سب فراڈ ہے

Trigger warning ⚠️ URGENT CALL FOR JUSTICE: Shocking Case of Child Assault Reported in Sindh A deeply distressing incident has emerged trom Sindh, where a young girl named Anam has reportedly fallen victim to a brutal assault. The Incident: According to heartbreaking testimonies from the child's parents, Khadim Shah and Zahida, and her uncle, Qamar Khan, the horrific incident took place during the afternoon between 3:30 PM and 4:00 PM. The accused, identified as Mohammad Ali (son of Qalandar Bux), allegedly forced the innocent young girl into a private room/quarter where the assault took place. How it was Uncovered: The family discovered the nightmare when little Anam returned home crying uncontrollably and bleeding profusely. After being rushed for medical help, the traumatized child bravely identified her attacker. Current Situation: Due to the critical nature of her injuries, local medical staff immediately referred Anam to a larger hospital in Larkana for specialized care. While the family has successfully registered a formal complaint (NC/report) with the local police, they are living through an unimaginable nightmare and are desperate for a thorough investigation. An Emotional Plea to Authorities: In an emotional video appeal, Anam's family is begging the government and law enforcement for protection and swift justice. They are directly appealing to top political leadership including @AAliZardari . @BBhuttoZardari, @FaryalTalpur and the Chief Minister of Sindh-as well as police high command (IG Sindh, DIG Larkana, and local DSP/SHO officials) to ensure the perpetrator is not allowed to walk free. No child should ever have to endure such horror. We stand with Anam and her family in demanding immediate accountability and justice. @DrSueTariq @ShamaJunejo #JusticeForAnam #ChildProtection #Sindh #Larkana #EndChildAbuse #HumanRightsPakistan #JusticeDelayedlsJusticeDenied

The rise of anti Indian sentiment is driven by two forces: a resurgent far right eager to scapegoat immigrants and a section of the Indian diaspora whose nationalism, casteism, racial prejudices, and cultural arrogance have eroded decades of goodwill. #MyPiece

Sono alla fine del mio viaggio di lavoro in Russia, dove ho partecipato a vari panel al Forum Economico di Saint Petersburg, ho rivisto vari membri di governo della Federazione russa, ne ho conosciuto di nuovi, sono stato ospite del rettore della MGIMO a Mosca, ho fatto un aperitivo veloce con Dugin, ho quasi fatto una domanda in diretta a Putin durante la plenaria e tanto altro. Due settimane intense E nei ritagli di tempo (tanto c’è sempre giorno) un po’ di relax e turismo nelle due città, molto belle e tanto diverse l’una dall’altra La stampa italiana si è molto interessata del mio viaggio e della mia presenza qua in Russia, ma per futili motivi. La stampa internazionale invece più attenta alle analisi e commenti su temi di economia Consiglio a tutti di andare a visitare la Russia, paese bellissimo dalla storia e cultura immensa. E questo al di là di qualsiasi considerazione geopolitica. Del resto io stesso lavoro da 30 anni solo per organizzazioni americane o inglesi e continuerò a girare il mondo, sopratutto nei paesi poco noti e dove la narrazione nostrana tende a distorcere la realtà Cerco sempre di prendere le distanze dal concetto di “Guilt by Contact”, malattia che sembra aver preso il controllo delle menti dei nostri governanti che credono che farsi vedere insieme a qualcuno significhi appoggiarne le scelte politiche Il contatto, il frequentarsi, è invece il modo più efficace per capire le ragione reciproche e, al termine degli incontri, o cambiare le nostre idee iniziali o confermarle con maggiore forza. Win win Penso di avere io oggi più contatti con persone di rilievo della Federazione Russa che di tutti i nostri 50 ministri/Sottosegretari e 600 parlamentari messi insieme. E questo non va bene. Dovrebbe essere loro a tenere i contatti, a partecipare ai forum …ma forse si contentano di fare gli influencers, non i politici

This needs to be said loud and clear. Israel is not attacking Lebanon. They are targeting Hezbollah. An Iranian funded terror proxy that has struck Israel 2,000 times since the April ceasefire. Israel has every right to defend itself. Don’t fall for the Iranian regime’s distraction.
