"The Commission for Ex-Prisoners' Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoners' Club said that the Israeli occupation forces have arrested more than 9,450 citizens from the West Bank, including Jerusalem, since the start of the aggression.

The Commission and the Prisoners' Club explained, in a joint statement today, that this toll includes those who were arrested from homes and through military checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender themselves under pressure, and those who were held hostage.

During the past two days, the occupation forces arrested at least 20 citizens from the West Bank, including brothers and former prisoners, and the arrests were distributed among the governorates of Hebron, Tulkarm, Nablus, and Jerusalem.

🚨 New footage obtained by Al-Jazeera shows how the zionist army uses kidnapped Palestinians as human shields in the #Gaza Strip.

The imprisoned Palestinians, intentionally dressed in zionist military uniforms and equipped with body cameras, are identifiable in the footage by a blue tag on their arms (1:04), identifying them as prisoners. They are forced to enter residential buildings and when tunnels are found, they are expected to enter tunnels ahead of the IOF soldiers themselves. The expectation is that if a home or tunnel opening is rigged to explode, the Palestinian prisoners will be killed rather than the zionist soldiers.

This blatant war crime is exposed in a set of videos. The first video (1:25) shows two Palestinians sent into a destroyed home to look for a tunnel opening. They report back to the soldiers supervising them that their digging only yielded dirt and concrete.

In another video (1:59), a Palestinian prisoner is forced into a tunnel found in Gaza. He is bound by a cable to the zionist soldiers above ground. “Guys, the army are using me as a lure,” he calls out, hoping the resistance fighters will hear him and not engage in combat.

In a third video (3:25), two Palestinian prisoners are forced into a residential building to confirm that there are no land mines or resistance fighters within it. Neither prisoner speaks, as they are monitored by a body camera and a small drone accompanying them. One of the prisoners is seriously wounded and is forced to carry out his task unclothed.

EGYPT PROFITS FROM THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA - Al Arjani has control over trade and construction at the Rafah border. That trade extends to the millions extorted from Palestinian refugees, many children, who have fled to Egypt. An adult is charged $ 5000 and a child $ 2,500. An average family of two parents and three children will be forced to pay $ 17,500 to enter Egypt where they are given only a three month visa which does not include a work permit. After three months they are effectively illegal aliens and face expulsion back to Gaza.

Palestinians desperate to leave Gaza are paying bribes to brokers of up to $10,000 (£7,850) to help them exit the territory through Egypt, according to a Guardian investigation. [..] Belal, a US citizen from Gaza, was told he would need to raise $85,000 to get 11 family members out of the territory, including five children under three.

Before the genocide, the cost was $ 500. This is a shocking exploitation of human suffering to profit from their bloodshed by Al Arjani and the Sisi regime - while Egypt is portrayed as a peace broker and mediator, it is taking blood money from the most vulnerable Palestinians without remorse.

🥀 The most barbaric shellings of cities and villages in the DPR by the AFU artillery since the beginning of the year:

▪️January 1, 2024, on New Year's Eve, the AFU targeted the heart of Donetsk using "Grad" MLRS. The Donbass Palace Hotel, Lenin Square, Pushkin Boulevard, and Donetsk Theatre were all struck. The shelling resulted in the death of a war correspondent and injuries to civilians.

▪️January 21, 2024, neo-Nazis fired heavy artillery at the Tekstilshchik market in the middle of a Sunday afternoon. The attack resulted in the death of 27 people and left 25 others injured.

▪️On February 20, 2024, two HIMARS rockets hit the Library named after Krupskaya in the center of Donetsk.

▪️On May 11, 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine opened fire on participants of the Republic Day rally. A targeted strike from the HIMARS MLRS hit a cafe, resulting in the deaths of three civilians.

🆘 Over the past week alone, 8 civilians were killed and 41 wounded during the shellings by the AFU. In total, 201 civilians were killed and 774 injured in the first half of the year. The Ukrainian gunners are responsible for the deaths of 7 children and injuries of 61.

"On Monday, 1 July, Hadeel Shatara, Palestinian educator and an administrator of the graduate program at Birzeit University, was seized by occupation forces as she returned to Palestine from Jordan at the Karameh crossing. She is currently being held incommunicado under interrogation, and her family and lawyer have not been informed of her location. We raise our voices to say: Free Hadeel Shatara and all Palestinian prisoners now!

The abduction of Hadeel Shatara is part and parcel of the systematic attack on Palestinian education by the Zionist occupation regime. She joins six Birzeit University women students – Yara Abu Hashish, Layan Kayed, Shahd Owaida, Mona Abu Hussein, and Wafa Nimr – and hundreds of Palestinian male students – seized by the occupation. Students, particularly throughout the West Bank of occupied Palestine, have been subjected to mass arrest, while Palestinian student blocs are labeled “illegal organizations.”

In Gaza, every single university has been systematically destroyed by the occupation forces as part of their genocidal assault on every aspect of Palestinian life and society. University administrators have been targeted for assassination and kidnapped with fellow civilians, especially health care workers, and subjected to extreme forms of torture and abuse in the concentration camps for Palestinians from Gaza operated by the occupation forces.

This attack on Hadeel Shatara and Palestinian education is happening as university students are rising up around the world in a global student intifada to confront the genocide and resist Zionism and imperialism. Around the world, and particularly in the United States – the heart of the imperial core and the co-sponsor of the genocide, supplier of billions of dollars in bombs and weaponry to the Zionist regime – students have been beaten and arrested by police in an attempt to suppress this growing international movement with the liberation of Palestine at the core.

We urge all to demand freedom for Hadeel Shatara and all Palestinian students and educators – and all of the over 10,000 Palestinian prisoners held in Zionist jails – and to include the liberation of the prisoners in all campaigns for Palestinian liberation and an end to the genocide. We further emphasize the urgency of a complete academic boycott of all Zionist institutions, which are fully complicit in the all-out assault on Palestinian education and 76 years of genocide targeting the Palestinian people as a whole.

Free Hadeel Shatara and all Palestinian prisoners!"

Many people wrongly perceive Canada as some benevolent peace-loving nation, which is the opposite of reality. Canada whitewashed al-Qaeda in Syria, whitewashes Israeli apartheid of Palestinians and the Israeli genocide of Gaza, and propped up Nazis in Ukraine (politically, financially, with weapons, and in training--including Azov Nazis)

If I understood the woman in the clip correctly, she speaks of the extremist (Nazi glorifying) literature (in Ukrainian) which appeared after 1991, in a Ukrainian-Canadian centre in Donetsk, as gifts to a from Canada (Toronto, Winnipeg...).

In 2014, the republic closed down the centre and the extremist literature was locked away.


RT notes:

"3.5 thousand books, textbooks and brochures, including those praising Bandera, Shukhevych and Hitler: RT studied the archive of extremist literature in Donetsk.

In the collections of the Republican Library named after. Krupskaya keeps the materials collected after 2014 under lock and key. Only scientific specialists and law enforcement officers are allowed to see them.

The authors of this literature are mainly nationalists who escaped from the USSR. Some were published in the West in the middle of the last century, others were written by authors of modern Ukraine.

The collection contains, among others, pseudo-historical and socio-political publications. Some even create a positive portrait of Hitler. A separate shelf is occupied by the 50-volume “Chronicles of the UPA*” ."

162 maimed, and three killed, by the horrific little Petal mines Ukraine fired (via rockets) onto civilian areas of Donetsk & other cities. If you haven't seen images of feet exploded by the mines, you're lucky.

*

I wrote this some months ago:

The last count I saw from the DPR MFA was that as of April 15, 154 civilians were injured by the mines, including 10 children (1 of whom I spoke with while he was in hospital recovering), at least 3 of whom died as a result of their injuries.

Keep in mind that the majority of these mines were fired in late July 2022 (I was in the city then & went next morning to see Donetsk streets & parks littered with them).

[I remember when I left Donetsk in August 2022, walking looking down at my feet to ensure I could see there were no petal mines nearby, because I'd been waking that way the previous few weeks.]

Ukraine was obliged to destroy its ~6 million stock of them, but didn't, & instead fired them on Donbass civilians. The West, ofc, looks away, so does HRW.

"BREAKING: A lawyer has spoken to a Palestinian hostage taken by Israel who like many others gave direct testimony of mass systematic rape against them, including with dogs. It is clear now that the White House is laundering video footage of Palestinians who were raped as it is a routine part of the torture regime they are subjected to. Many hostages have also been torture-raped to death.

I want to repeat this again: The White House and Kamala Harris are promoting extensive video footage of Palestinians who were brutally, violently raped, and are using it to launder the genocidal atrocity propaganda "mass rape" hoax with it: x.com/zei_squirrel/s…

They are using actual rape to launder a rape hoax. This is a level of depravity I have never seen before, and it is not done by Trump or Republicans, it is being done by the black woke bae queen Kamala Harris.

Meanwhile the entire media class, from the New York Times to CNN, also actively participated in using these actual rape videos to launder the "mass rape" hoax they fabricated. All of them have promoted the Sandberg hoax film that features this extensive footage of raped Palestinians."

My reflections on Ukraine’s murder of 30 Russian journalists, the most recent being a talented journalist I had the honour of meeting & working with, Nikita Tsitsagi, 29, a Russian photojournalist.


Just over two weeks after another Russian journalist was deliberately targeted and killed by Ukrainian forces, global media and most international journalist support groups remain unsurprisingly silent.

Nikita Tsitsagi, 29, a Russian photojournalist, was targeted by a Ukrainian drone on June 16 as he prepared to do another report from the St. Nicholas Monastery near Ugledar—a monastery, heavily-targeted by Ukrainian shelling over the years. Yet, civilians remain the region, and many have taken shelter in the monastery. These are often the focus of journalists who go there.

Just three days prior, Ukrainian forces targeted Russian NTV journalists filming in the extremely hard hit village of Golmovsky, east of the northern DPR city of Gorlovka. The Ukrainian drone strike killed cameraman Valery Kozhin and seriously injured Alexey Ivliyev, a war correspondent.

The targeting of journalists is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

In June, President Vladimir Putin spoke of Ukraine's targeting of Russian journalists, noting, “At least 30 people died, our journalists died, and no one gives us the opportunity to investigate what happened to them.”

Russia's Envoy to UNESCO in Paris called for UNESCO to condemn the killing of Russian journalists, saying:

"All these killings, they were not condemned. This is despite the fact that the Secretariat has all the information on their killings." He noted the lack of condemnation shows double standards and a political bias.

Nikita's murder is personal for me, as I'd met him several times and gotten to know his gentle character: kind, humble, generous with his time, and professional.

We went together on two different occasions in November 2022 to interview people, one of which was to the Ukrainian-battered villages of Zaitsevo and Golmovsky in the Gorlovka region. Nikita kindly translated my questions to residents there, giving of his time and ensuring no nuance was lost.

He also was quick to reply the few times I messaged him regarding an event in the Donbass or a contact I asked to speak with...

Ukraine's assassinations of Russian journalists

...Of the at least 30 Russian journalists killed, the following are some of those recently murdered:

In November 2023, in the Zaporozhye region, Ukrainian forces targeted a group of Russian journalists with a drone. One of the journalists, Boris Maksudov, died as a result of his injuries.

In July 2023, Ukrainian shelling of a civilian vehicle killed RIA Novosti war correspondent Rostislav Zhuravlev, and injured four of his colleagues. The shelling was with US cluster munitions.

In October 2022, Ukrainian forces shelled a group of Tavria TV and radio company’s reporters, killing journalist Oleg Klokov.

In April 2023, in St. Petersburg, war correspondent Maxim Fomin (Vladlen Tatarsky) was murdered when a statuette he'd been handed, containing a bomb, exploded.

In August 2022, journalist Darya Dugina was killed in a car bombing in Moscow. Both the murders of Dugina and Fomin are believed to be the work of Kiev's intelligence agents. Ukrainian intelligence also plotted assassination attempts against RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan and journalist Ksenia Sobchak.

But it's worth pointing out these targeted killings didn't start in 2022. Back in 2014, Russian photojournalist Andrei Stenin was killed in a Ukrainian attack on, “a vehicle traveling in a convoy of escaping civilians when it came under heavy fire.”...
