🎬 I watched #NAZA. A chilling, dystopian documentary that I strongly recommend seeing in cinemas or watching when it becomes available online for free next month. 🧵A few thoughts on what this film tells us, from a legal perspective.👇

Ireland is pushing a motion to ban Israel from FIFA and UEFA. It has made JD Vance very mad. It's time to remove Israel from world sport, don't you agree?

Syrian security officials in Raqqa demanded that the exhibition remove mention of HTS's kidnapping of 4 activists from Madaya & mention of Kurdish victims of ISIS in Kobanî. This led the organizers to shutter the exhibition after displaying it in 7 other governorates.
30 minutes before the start of an exhibition about Syria's assassinated and disappeared activists, the governorate of Tartous banned the exhibit. Why? It included photos of Raed al-Fares, an activist assassinated in Idlib in 2018 after receiving numerous threats from Jabhat al-Nusra/HTS and Razan Zaytouneh, kidnapped & likely murdered by Jaysh al-Islam (now integrated into the Syrian Army) in 2013. The same exhibition was displayed in 6 other governorates, and is under the sponsorship of the Syrian Ministry of Culture, yet the governorate of Tartous decided to ban it. This is one in a series of decisions restricting basic rights and freedoms that local authorities in Syria havee taken that caused a great embarrassment for Damascus. facebook.com/aljumhuriya.net…

A Jewish professor at Bar-Ilan University was arrested for planning a terror attack that could have killed thousands of Palestinians in Israel. The response to this horrific news was disgusting: hundreds of young Israeli people rallied in support of him and said they wished he had succeeded. We really need to talk about deradicalization in Israel.
אלפי צעירים ישראלים תומכים ברצח תינוקות ובטרור, אבל הם לא יעצרו כי הם לא ערבים מוסלמים. אחרי ממשלות הימין יצרכו לעשות פה דה נאציפיקציה רצינית.

Nicole Lampert, in her Cable Street march article writes: 'I stayed to listen to Michael Rosen and Jeremy Corbyn drone on.' Indeed. I was 'droning on' reading my father's eyewitness account of being at the demo with my mother. Who wants to hear that, eh? @nicolelampert

For years, an Israeli Jewish university lecturer has been plotting to carry out terrorist attacks to kill hundreds of Arab Israelis, including Bedouins, as well as Palestinians living in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The terrorists's name is currently being withheld from the public. Under the plan, 72 Jewish terrorists would have been divided into 12 terror cells, with 6 operatives in each. They would be armed with various weapons, including pistols, rifles and axes, and would "launch surprise mass-casualty terrorist attacks in mixed Jewish-Arab cities and Arab communities across Israel." The plan also called for the cells to receive pre-coordinated assistance and backing from subversive elements recruited from within the Israeli army, including air, artillery and armored forces that would carry out attacks on Arab population centers.

That’s about 20 Epstein whistleblowers who have now ‘died by suicide’. Absolutely nothing suspicious about that at all…
Former British banker and whistleblower Simon Andriesz, 57, has died by suicide. Andriesz had exposed U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s past links to Jeffrey Epstein, including evidence of a 2018 email exchange about a start-up business. Source: The Banker

Cleansing. OMG.
🚨🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israeli Minister Smotrich: "The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us." You have to be a real piece of sh*t to say this and, on top of that, do so publicly... and proudly. 😡 Writer: Samuel
