🚨URGENT: Hamas militias in Gaza barred engineer Ahmed Al-Talouli from working with the Palestinian Ministry of Public Works and Housing to help provide tents for displaced families during the winter storm. They forced him to sign a pledge not to carry out any ministry-related work in Gaza. After being threatened today, he deleted his post. The Palestinian Authority, through its Ministry of Public Works and Housing and in partnership with UNDP, launched a project to establish camps using durable fiberglass shelter units. Yet just one day before the rainstorm, Hamas arrested the ministry’s engineers and crews, forced them to sign pledges not to work in Gaza except through Hamas, and confiscated the tents. Hamas is not only failing to help Gaza’s people face the winter storm; it is actively preventing others from helping them. This story has been completely ignored by pro-Palestinian activists and media in the West. Because Hamas is responsible for this abuse, they have chosen to stay silent.

this is why I am not wasting too much time on Twitter- is it real? is it a bot? is it sarcastic? is it a sarcastic bot? who knows.
Whenever someone uses the term “Israel’s Arab citizens” instead of “Palestinians with Israeli citizenship” you know they’re a genocidal Jewish supremacist piece of shit.

"The motion also [...] calls for the establishment of a single democratic state throughout historic Palestine" meanwhile in Palestine, proportion who want a single state: (Oct 2026): 6%. personally i think the confederation is the only realistic option going forward
Replying to @PolitlcsUK
The Greens said: "The motion sets out the Party’s opposition to Zionism, defined as an ethnonationalist political project, and states that anti-Zionism should not be equated with antisemitism. The motion reasserts the Party’s commitment to Palestinian liberation, the right of return, Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS), and a full arms embargo against Israel. The motion also restates the Green Party’s backing for the right to self-determination and calls for the establishment of a single democratic state throughout historic Palestine" A party spokesperson said: "This has been a serious and deeply felt debate within our membership. Our members value the ability to bring forward and decide party policy, and conference has now made its decision. "The Green Party is an anti-racist party and has consistently opposed the illegal occupation of both Palestinian and Syrian land, called for an end to arms sales to the Israeli government and spoken out fearlessly about the devastating situation in Gaza and the West Bank. Those positions remain central to our approach. So too does our deeply held commitment to equality, justice and human rights for all and opposition to racism in all its forms"

The final analysis of Gaza deaths based on Hamas’ own data is really bloody annoying.

What does it mean “attempt to evacuate”??? We have a serious problem which the governement has ignored, or worse. One of the next governement’s top priorities must be to tackle jewish extremism before it gets worse timesofisrael.com/liveblog_e…

If true, a great illustration of #Israel complexity: a jewish politician joining an islamic party that may well end up save the country from itself. It also shows how the black&white picture painted by the anti-israel mob only Exists in their imagination timesofisrael.com/in-major-s…

“#israel ‘s actions during its offensive on the occupied #Gaza strip from 7th October”. This is nothing but @amnesty trying to rewrite history. At least it’s clear what they became: an advocacy propaganda machine. A) israel was attacked on 7.10 and b) gaza wasn’t occupied on 7.10

Is renin-angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) disruption a driver of Long COVID? A cohort study of healthcare workers in #BMCInfectDis tracked RAAS markers before and after SARS‑CoV‑2 infection and found no significant long‑term differences between those with and without Long COVID symptoms. @epi_michael @Bar_ilan buff.ly/rKVSIbD

How ironic is it that #Ireland, the great moral lesson giver, has hosted since the war began a Russian owned-operated aluminium plant directly feeding into the Russian war manufacturing supply chain, with full gvt knowledge as to where the metal goes? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aughin…

Nothing is more important for Israel's future -- not victory over Hamas, Hezbollah, or Iran -- than replacing this catastrophic failure of a government.
You knowingly caused harm to our State in this disgraceful display - and not for the first time. You have undone tremendous, professional, and successful efforts made by so many people - from IDF soldiers to Foreign Ministry staff and many others. No, you are not the face of Israel.

Because I care about treating people humanely—and because I’m a proud Zionist—this is the final straw. Fire Ben-Gvir. If you agree, share this please.

Guy says “you’re going to get beheaded one by one you dirty jews”- in the streets of London in broad daylight. Totally normalized in 2026

The prime minister of Spain talking about October 7th as the day #Israel invaded #Gaza- essentially erasing and rewriting history. Jews must he perpetrators. The depth of the rot in #Europe is so deep… for children and grandchildren of the holocaust it rings serious alarm bells
Pedro Sánchez dice que el 7 de octubre Israel invadió la Franja de Gaza. Sólo le falta decir que en el Holocausto los judíos fueron quienes mandaron a 6 millones de alemanes a las cámaras de gas.

The Ebola outbreak in DR Congo 🇨🇩 is worrying No treatment, no vaccine, high mortality. If it gets into big cities like Kinshasa we could have a big problem. Global spread still unlikely but the real worry is an outbreak on a scale of 2014 in West Africa which had 30,000 cases
