Everyday I'm baffled and enraged that we have to share a planet with people who think it's fine that we now regularly see videos of the exploded insides of children's heads. I have seen so many dismembered, destroyed children , and this is through the screen of my phone, I can't imagine how it is to be face to face with these horrors.

"Just vote!" The man you're insisting people vote for is sending bombs to turn other human beings, children and women and men, families, other living breathing people, into red mist and hunks of meat. I would rather die.

Holy shit. The Israeli whistleblower story CNN just broke is insane. I cannot believe what I’m reading

Rare firsthand accounts by Israeli whistleblowers cast light on the horrific conditions in the Sde Teiman torture camp in Naqab Desert. Palestinians are stripped down, blindfolded, forced in diapers, and forbidden from speaking. They are subjected to beatings and mental degradation regularly. So much depravity that has gone unseen. Doctors performing procedures outside of their expertise, amputations due to zip-typing of abductees’ wrists, having large dogs unleashed on them at night. Being fed food through straws. I can’t believe it. I am truly in shock. And this is just one whistleblower accounting of this. Who knows what else is happening beyond our knowledge

My heart is breaking into a million pieces

Worth mentioning that multiple Palestinians have recounted these stories before, as direct victims detailing their experiences. What's unique about these accounts from CNN Israeli whistle-blower is that they're from an Israeli, therefore people are more likely to take this seriously.

a (very small) group of columbia students continued protest action by picketing in front of trustees' manhattan mansions this morning. at two locations, they were punched by zionists; at a third, a zionist tried to run them over—the kicker is that he is a close relative of the founder of the fascist kahanist movement, and that the injured student he ran over was arrested instead, handcuffed to a hospital bed. this follows days of violent zionist squadristi assaults on protesters in LA, chicago, and DC, among other locations, leaving many injured.

a few hours later, biden went on air and talked about how violent and antisemitic the protesters are.

“Target Israel and we will target you,” the senators tell Khan, adding that they will “sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States.”

Rather ominously, the letter concludes: “You have been warned.” In a statement to Zeteo, Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland said, “It is fine to express opposition to a possible judicial action, but it is absolutely wrong to interfere in a judicial matter by threatening judicial officers, their family members and their employees with retribution. This thuggery is something befitting the mafia, not U.S. senators.”
While neither Israel nor the United States are members of the ICC, the Palestinian territories were admitted with the status of a member state in April 2015. Khan, a British lawyer, was appointed as the ICC’s chief prosecutor in February 2021, a week after the court had already decided, by majority, that its territorial jurisdiction extended to “Gaza and the West Bank.”
In the wake of the attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, Khan announced that the court had jurisdiction over any potential war crimes committed both by Hamas militants in Israel and by Israeli forces in Gaza. The ICC, per the Rome Statute of 2002, can charge individuals with war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide – and recent reports suggest Israeli officials increasingly believe that the ICC is preparing arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other senior cabinet and military officials.
On Friday, The Hague-based office of the chief prosecutor published an unprecedented statement on Twitter, calling for an end to threats of retaliation against the ICC and attempts to “impede” and “intimidate” its officials. The statement added that such threats could “constitute an offence against the administration of justice” under the Rome Statute. 

Also in 2002, while America was trying to lie and say that Iraq had chemical weapons as an excuse to invade, they threatened to murder the children of the head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons because he negotiated to inspect the country for chemical weapons rather than just accepting the American lie.

amber heard had to legally change her name, abandon her career and move to spain because she had the audacity to write an article about how she was abused (without even naming the abuser) and the fucker sued her for it and made sure it was televized for maximum humiliation. I truly hope depp never knows a moment of peace for the rest of his pathetic life and the same goes for anyone who supported him. you people are genuinely the scum of the earth

The book is Minor Detail by Adania Shibli. I find it interesting that the NYT described it as the "murder" of a Palestinian girl by Israeli soldiers when the book is explicitly about the gang rape and subsequent murder of a Palestinian girl and then in the modern-day how a young Palestinian woman finds the story and their obsession about finding more about this "minor detail" in Palestinian history. This is based on a real historical event that we only know about because the perpetrators wrote it down and went to trial.

Descriptions of the rape are in the article fyi
