One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked. The Israeli army bombed an ambulance carrying wounded people to a hospital in the Gaza Strip during the war of extermination two years ago. A video that the world must never forget.

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

Israel publishing exact GPS coordinates, timelines, and organizer metrics for global protests isn’t "protection"—it’s transnational targeting. Compiling risk-rated hit lists of foreign activists on government domains is an open blueprint designed to map opposition, crush dissent, and enable retaliation. Dressing up an extraterritorial surveillance operation as defense is a transnational repression playbook.
Israel's Diaspora Ministry publishes weekly reports listing upcoming pro-Palestinian protests worldwide with exact dates, times, GPS coordinates, distance to nearest Israeli embassy, organizing groups' names and follower counts, and risk ratings. The reports cover dozens of countries and have compiled roughly 2,000 entries. Israel frames it as protecting Jewish communities. Critics call it systematic surveillance and naming of protest organizers. The reports are publicly posted on gov.il as open-source monitoring. Source: @Wallface

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people. theintercept.com/2026/09/23/…

Hearing from several sources around Ireland hotel that agents are telling players you must play our you'll never play for a US owned team in the UK. How grim and predictable from faceless agents who profit in the background.

Republic of Ireland’s players are considering boycotting Sunday’s match against Israel after Gavin Bazunu, the goalkeeper, said he did not want to play. Meetings are taking place at the team’s hotel in Hungary this morning as the players discuss whether they will collectively refuse to play the Nations League game as an act of protest against Israel’s actions in Gaza. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Breaking: US company Meta has, without explanation, disabled Lula’s Instagram and Facebook profiles’ ability to run ads, 10 days from election. The President’s campaign has complained and threatened legal action, citing this as another example of US interference and manipulation.

Tortured to death in a desert concentration camp simply for asking about a truce. #ThaerAbuAsab A calculated machinery of institutional torture designed for absolute lineage erasure: severing filiation, destroying family bonds, and inflicting severe trauma to engineer biological and political death. In desert black sites, physical torture is weaponized alongside total deculturation—forced ideological coercion and historical denials meant to strip away national identity and reduce political subjects to bare, surviving bodies. This is total biopolitical annihilation operating with arrogant impunity.
🚨Horrific footage shows the body of Palestinian prisoner Thaer Abu Asab being removed from his cell inside Israel’s Negev Desert torture center. He was brutally tortured by Israeli soldiers, leading to his death inside the cell.

Systemic sexual violence as regime policy. A landmark report by @EuroMedHR, published by @intifada, exposes how Israeli detention camps operate as legal black holes where rape, torture, and genital mutilation are systematically deployed to break bodies and erase lineage. Watch @MahaGaza break down the evidence with @AliAbunimah—and expose the deliberate media erasure of Palestinian victims of crimes against humanity: electronicintifada.net/conte…

Today, over 100 New Yorkers were arrested for protesting Israeli genocide as Netanyahu prepared to address the United Nations. Over 400 people held a mass sit-in outside the UN demanding an end to the genocide and an end to US military funding to Israel. We refuse to stand by while war criminals are given a platform to speak and while our government spends billions on war.

When an occupying military hunts corpses, bombs funerals, and burns the dead twice, it stops pretending to fight an enemy. That is pure, unadulterated necroviolence—acts designed to desecrate human remains, strip away individual identity, and inflict a second death to erase the evidence of the live-streamed genocide in Gaza. Every state enabling this level of demonic cruelty is utterly damned. 🧵
There is no place of safety, even after death. A martyr was targeted for the second time after being killed. The young man was killed about two hours ago, and his body was burned beyond recognition in the first strike. While his body was being transported for his funeral, the vehicle carrying him was targeted, causing his remains to be burned again.

This institutionalized weaponization of bodies is not new; it is a long-standing, systemic pillar of the Israeli occupation. Read Linah Alsaafin’s vital 2020 reporting on how the genocidal regime institutionalized "necroviolence" against the Palestinian people: aljazeera.com/news/2020/2/24…
