If a 12-year-old Israeli child was killed today there would be headlines in every Western media outlet. But this child is Palestinian… Killing children every day is not normal.
Israel has just shot and killed a 12-yea-old child in Mawasi Rafah. He was identified as Mohammad al-Shakhriti.

Palestinian parents are the most heroic parents on the planet.
Her face is everything. We don’t talk enough about Palestinian parents who, despite their own suffering, do everything they can to bring joy to their children.

Violence outside the law in Israeli society "They're operating outside of the law. I mean, they've always been a lawless place in terms of international law, but now they're disregarding their own laws. Everything is happening in violation of what they say they uphold as their ethics of free speech and whatnot. And the boot is coming down a lot more aggressively than it has in the past. [...] It just seems that after every uprising, they tend to tighten the noose." - Mohammed El-Kurd [@m7mdkurd] Israel’s End Game w/ Mohammed El-Kurd. Hosted by Bassam Haddad [@4Bassam] Watch the full episode here: piped.video/T_z6tI2MC_k

.@netanyahu knew. He let it happen. Soldiers were told to stand down and weeks of warnings from female soldiers at Gaza border were ignored. Israel also killed hundreds of their own on October 7; incinerating cars escaping Nova Festival. All documented facts.
The @nytimes confirms the @haaretzcom report that the UAE secretly warned Netanyahu that Hamas was planning a major attack on Israel shortly before Oct. 7; Bibi did not relay the warning to security officials. nytimes.com/2026/09/25/world…

2026 Hasbara: I came up with a cute play on words so its not a genocide.
People don't hate Israel because they think there's a genocide. People think there's a genocide because they hate Israel.

After 3 years of waiting, my father will finally leave Gaza for Egypt in a few days to undergo the surgery❤️‍🩹 But there is something simple that has become essential for us, a phone that will allow my father to stay in contact with us while he is in Egypt for his treatment. Unfortunately, used phones in Gaza are quite expensive, and I cannot afford to buy one on my own. That is why I am reaching out to you today. I want to buy my father a phone before he leaves, so we can check on him, stay in touch with him, and make sure he does not feel alone while he is far away from his family. After everything he has endured and all these years of waiting, I hope this journey will be the beginning of a better chapter in his life. If you can help me cover the cost of a phone, no matter how small the amount, I would be deeply grateful. Please donate and share 🙏🏻 chuffed.org/project/199006-h…

If you only follow Western media you would likely have no idea this is happening. They tend to ignore the fact that Israel is destroying southern Lebanon piece by piece.
Israeli airstrikes happening now across the south of Lebanon. Remember that this is happening all day, every day.
