This footage is 35 years old. It shows how Israel was treating Palestinians decades ago. The oppression did not begin on October 7; it has been a reality for generations.

La ONU declaró oficialmente a la Franja de Gaza como zona de genocidio, afirmando que Israel está atacando deliberadamente a niños y bebés. Le tomó a la ONU tres años completos llegar a esta conclusión.

@marifer9090 @i_barrantes Pues chaves no respeta a Laura

"No siento pena por los palestinos. No hay que sentir pena ni por los ancianos ni por las mujeres ni por los niños ni por nadie de Gaza, hay que dejarlos morir de hambre". No es la TV del Reich nazi del siglo pasado, es la TV de "Israel", donde los periodistas sionistas llaman al exterminio de Gaza sistemáticamente, afirmando que los palestinos se merecen morir de hambre y que no hay que sentir pena ni por los niños. A la misma vez que se pasan el día diciendo estas barbaridades genocidas, se hacen la víctima ante Occidente.

IN PRAISE OF FRANCESCA ALBANESE There is a question that visits me in the small hours, when sleep will not come and the mind turns over old stones. The question is this: “What would I have done in the 1930s, on the morning after Kristallnacht?" Not what I say I would have done. Not what I hope I would have done. But what would I actually have done—when the trains began to run, when the neighbours grew quiet, when the cost of decency became the loss of everything? Most of us, I think, would have done little. Not from malice. From fear. From the soft, creeping conviction that someone else will speak, that the situation is complex, that we must be 'reasonable'. Lest we forget, the ordinary is the extraordinary's alibi. And how we have clung to that alibi! How we still cling to it! And then, every once in a terrible while, someone appears who does not cling. Someone who steps forward when others step back. Someone who speaks the name of the thing when everyone else is busy naming something else. Francesca Albanese is that someone. She stands before the world—alone, unarmed, armed only with law and language and a rare courage—and she says what the centrists will not say, what the foreign ministries will not say, what the editorial boards will not say. She says: "This is a genocide. And we are watching it happen." Do not tell me that is hyperbole. Do not tell me the term is contested. She has not used it lightly. She has used it as a physician arrives scientifically at a diagnosis—not to wound, but to warn. Not to inflame, but to name. And for that, they have come for her. Oh, how they have come for her. Smears. Investigations. Vicious editorials. Frozen bank accounts. Dispossession of the only apartment she had ever owned. The machinery of the respectable turned to crush her. Because the respectable cannot abide what she represents: a mirror held up to their complicity. Let us, once again, travel back to the 1930s. Back to the few who stood up when the trains began to run laden with Jewish people. There was Aristides de Sousa Mendes, a Portuguese consul in Bordeaux. He defied his own government. He signed thousands of visas, by hand, for hours, until his fingers bled. He saved more lives than Schindler. And he died penniless, disgraced, erased. There was a German officer in Warsaw named Wilm Hosenfeld. He hid a Jewish pianist in the rubble. He did not save thousands. He saved one. But that one—Władysław Szpilman—carried the memory. And memory is "the only haven from which we cannot be expelled." There was Raoul Wallenberg. There were the villagers of Le Chambon. There were the anonymous, the quiet, the furious few who said: “Not on my watch.” Francesca Albanese is their heir. Not because she carries a gun. Not because she hides refugees in her basement. But because she does something equally dangerous in a world that has perfected the art of not seeing. She sees. And she speaks. She does not speak as a diplomat. Thank Goodness she doesn't! Diplomats have given us the language of "there are arguments on both sides" and "restraint" and "proportionality." Diplomatic language is the perfumed grave of moral clarity. No, she speaks as a jurist. As a human being. As a woman who has looked into the abyss and refused to call it a "complex geopolitical landscape". Edna O'Brien once described a character who "had the recklessness of those who have already lost everything worth losing." Francesca Albanese has not lost everything. She has her dignity, her office, her voice, her family. But she has calculated the cost of speaking truth to power. And she has decided that that cost is infinitely less than the cost of silence. What is that cost? Let us name it. She has been called antisemitic—she, who stands on the ground of international law forged in the ashes of Auschwitz and the fires of Nuremberg. She has been called a conspiracy theorist—she, who cites every source, every footnote, every UN resolution. She has been called naive—she, who understands better than most the machinery of realpolitik. These accusations are not arguments. They are the spittle of the threatened. Because Francesca Albanese threatens something very precious to the powerful: the right to commit atrocity without being named. Friends, the 1930s did not arrive with jackboots and pogroms on day one. They arrived in small increments. With "reasonable" restrictions. With "proportional" measures. With the silence of the respectable. We tell ourselves that we would have been different. That we would have been Sousa Mendes. That we would have been Wallenberg. But most of us, I fear, would have been the neighbours who later said, "I didn't know." Francesca Albanese knows. And she refuses to pretend otherwise. So let us praise her. Not with statues or awards she does not seek. But with something harder: with our own refusal to look away. With our own voices, raised in places that are safe for us but dangerous for her. With our own bodies, if it comes to that. A brave woman, who was injured while demonstrating outside a US nuclear military base in 1982, the infamous Greenham Common, had told me that "the heart is a hunter for what it cannot have." But I say the heart is a hunter for what it will not lose. And what we will not lose is the memory of those who stood up when standing up cost everything. Francesca Albanese is standing up now. In our time. In our name. Under our indifferent sky. Let us stand with her. Not tomorrow. Not when it is safe. Now. [Extract from a speech in Athens on Sunday 3rd May 2026]

Israel is causing mass casualty events every day in Lebanon and the world is doing nothing. The Europeans sometimes remember to express deep concern while the Americans keep the weapons tap flowing. Completely outrageous, these people need to be stopped.

"Israel wants to live in peace with its neighbours" is the biggest lie of all time. This is the West Bank. No Hamas, no war, yet attacked like this daily by "settlers" backed by the IDF. A savagely violent Jewish supremacy armed by the EU/UK/US

@sebassellez @leogarnier Es Líbano, no Palestina. Tal vez quiso decir Hezbolla ( si conoce la diferencia…..). Estaban documentando una invasión ilegal de Israel en el sur de Líbano , no propaganda y no justifica el crimen

Los colonos israelís salieron ayer de cacería en Cisjordania, quemando casas con niños dentro y atacando con palos y machetes a todos los palestinos que encontraban a su paso. Es un progromo. Actúan como los nazis. El valor que le está echando @Laura_chiclana para contar la realidad sobre el terreno se merece un monumento. Os recuerdo que el lobby sionista de @ACOM_es la ha puesto en la diana y que el bulero patológico de Iker Jiménez desacreditó en directo su trabajo por salirse de la narrativa oficial pro Israel.

They raped a man. They gang-raped him. They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized. Doctors documented the injuries. The video of the assault was leaked. Now the rapists are free. This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick! #ThisIsIsrael

Mornings in Tehran now. Dark clouds raining oil on the city with cancerous polluted air entering every house and every lung. This is a chemical attack in a different form. This is what US/Israeli liberation looks like

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

The New World (Dis)Order isn’t West vs the rest,North vs South. It’s UP vs DOWN: filthy rich vs everyone else, with a cohort of cowards, racists & opportunists in between, sustaining an imperial war-driven system bombing ppl into submission. Time for an ethical course correction

The Lebanese resistance is fighting to defend the country. Resistance against occupation is a right recognized under international law. Israel has chosen to destroy Lebanese villages and towns and cities. Collective punishment constitutes a war crime under international law.

Acabo de hablar con el presidente de Líbano Joseph Aoun sobre la grave situación en Beirut y el resto del país. El pueblo libanés puede contar con nuestro apoyo total y asistencia humanitaria a los miles de desplazados. Basta ya de escaladas. No más destrucción. No a la guerra.

Francesca Albanese is speaking truth to power. That's why the powerful hate her.
