If you’re not writing the truth about crimes against humanity, you’re culpable in them.

You really do steal everything. Even movie titles.
A new Israeli documentary is setting the record straight.
NAZA: The Real Story offers a firsthand account from senior IDF commanders and intelligence officers who were directly involved in the fight against Hamas in Gaza.
Using combat footage, declassified materials, captured intelligence, and firsthand testimony, the documentary provides important context about how the war was fought and the challenges Israeli forces faced on the battlefield.

🎥 WATCH: Massacre at Minab: The School That Became a Grave
In the opening hours of the war against Iran, on February 28, 2026, the U.S. military fired Tomahawk cruise missiles directly at a school in the southern city of Minab. At least 156 people were killed that morning at Shajareh Tayyebeh school—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers.
It will go down in history as one of the gravest war crimes committed by the U.S. government since Vietnam.
Drop Site News conducted a two-month investigation into the strike, speaking with survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day. This is their story.

I write to you carrying a burden far heavier than my years, living a life that fights death every single day.
My family of 22 human beings and I are enduring conditions no human being should ever have to bear, and I cannot describe to you the harsh injustice that has broken our backs.
I don’t know how much longer we can survive in torn, worn-out tents that aren't even fit for animals to live in.
Please, I beg you—donate and share the campaign.

Angelina Jolie on Gaza: “Whole neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble. Homes, schools, universities, hospitals, roads, water and sanitation systems, infrastructure that people depended on to survive has been damaged or destroyed.”
Because Israel doesn’t want them to survive.

I’m sorry …. 1200??????
1,200 sexual assault cases were filed at Cornell from 2018 to 2024. Most of those found responsible received minor sanctions that allowed them to remain on campus, such as probation or training. Only 7 ended in expulsion or dismissal.

Palestinians are barred from returning to their homeland solely and exclusively for not being Jews. Zionism is the very definition of racism.

➕ “Batı medyası, iktidara meydan okuyan bağımsız bir organ gibi davranmak yerine devletin resmi anlatılarını tekrarlıyor.”
▪️ Dr. Assal Rad (@AssalRad), Gazze’nin Batı medyasındaki temsilini; çifte standart, Filistinli gazetecilere yaklaşım ve “soykırım” kavramının kullanımından kaçınılması üzerinden Fokus+ için değerlendirdi.
▪️ Peki Batı medyası Gazze’de yaşananları neden farklı bir dille aktarıyor? Filistinlilerin görünürlüğü artarken İsrail’in sorumluluğu neden geri planda kalıyor ve medya kamuoyunun rızasını hala üretebiliyor mu?

When will legacy media stop making headlines with the words of an ICC wanted genocide-architect in chief?
Then why are you publishing this headline @BBCNews?
What’s the point besides quoting a war criminal and vilifying Iran?

"Israel says" is the function of Israeli government official platforms, not what an ostensibly journalistic outfit should do.
.@nytimes still trying to help Israel justify its slaughter of journalists.
For the thousandth time, “Israel says” is not journalism.
