Israeli jailers at Negev prison deliberately strike Palestinian prisoners on areas infected with scabies, causing bleeding and severe pain, the Asra Prisoners’ Media Office (AMO) said.

AMO said scabies, fungal infections, and allergies have spread widely amid deliberate medical neglect and denial of treatment. Prisoners also face spoiled food, poor ventilation, high humidity, and prolonged deprivation of outdoor time.

The Palestinian Prisoner Society separately says Israeli forces have arrested more than 24,600 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, since October 2023, while thousands detained from Gaza remain unaccounted for.

🇳🇴 Norway is using its influence inside soccer to push for Israel’s suspension from FIFA, Politico reports.

Led by Norwegian Football Federation president Lise Klaveness, the campaign makes the case that FIFA’s ban on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine exposes a double standard as Israel continues its assault on Gaza.

The report says Norway’s support has helped move the campaign into Europe’s soccer mainstream and Klaveness, a former national team player and lawyer on UEFA’s executive committee, is pressing the case through formal institutions.

The Palestinian Football Association’s effort, launched in 2024, cites Israel’s atrocities in Gaza, discrimination against Arab athletes, and the inclusion of clubs based in illegal West Bank settlements.

When Norway hosted Israel in a World Cup qualifier last October, the federation donated all match proceeds to Gaza relief. Fans displayed Palestinian flags, keffiyehs, and a banner reading: “Let Children Live.”

(Norway briefly led 1-0 after a 36” strike against England in its World Cup quarterfinal match today. The game is currently tied 1-1 with about ten minutes to go.)

I know this is going to make me lose what rest of my career but: the United Nations high commissioner for human rights is complicit in the genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. He’s the biggest Zionist inside the UN human rights, alongside some members of his team—including Arabs.

When UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Palestine finds that Israel deliberately killed and wounded children, tortured and sexually assaulted them. When Non-Zionist UN special rapporteurs released reports concludes Israel committed crimes against humanity and war crimes, resulting in genocide. When, PVA, HRC, ICC, and anyone who knows anything about genocide says it's genocide. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has one clear obligation — call it a genocide or resign.

Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the IAEA, is yet another Zionist within the UN who serves the Zionist lobby rather than the UN itself.

At the behest of Zionism, Grossi lied about the presence of highly enriched uranium in Iran—an allegation he later retracted—in an attempt to legitimize a war against the country. This occurred after it became clear that B-2 bombers had failed to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities—a failure that had sparked serious discussions regarding the use of tactical nuclear weapons or strikes on Iranian nuclear power plants. That was when I stepped in and leaked this information to the world...

When Grossi realized he was being set up as a scapegoat—poised to bear direct responsibility for triggering a "nuclear winter"—he hastily admitted to fabricating reports against Iran; yet, he remains the Director General of the IAEA. Grossi is now being touted as a leading contender and the frontrunner for the position of UN Secretary-General, thanks to the lobby he serves and his fabrication of reports.

This is...what I meant when I spoke to you about the powerful lobby that dominates the United Nations. He is the next UN Secretary-General!

They are in every corner of the UN

The notion that a society could be regulated entirely by market forces is a utopian fantasy: an impossible dream generated by imagining what the world would be like if everyone's behavior was utterly consistent with some abstract moral ideal-in this case, economic theories that assume all human action is based on calculating, systematic, (but scrupulously law-abiding), greed.

A David Graeber quote about destructive of society Student Loans are :
'Student loans are destroying the imagination of youth. If there’s a way of a society committing mass suicide, what better way than to take all the youngest, most energetic, creative, joyous people in your society and saddle them with, like $50,000 of debt so they have to be slaves? There goes your music. There goes your culture. There goes everything new that would pop out. And in a way, this is what’s happened to our society. We’re a society that has lost any ability to incorporate the interesting, creative and eccentric people'.

Small grey cat on my lap looking at the camera. Seems content 😊

A grey Tabby Cat (Miggins) is sitting on the end of my bed facing off camera to the left. Looking possibly pensive, as cats are wont to do.

Palantir's Involvement in New Zealand Health Infrastructure
Palantir Technologies has engaged in contracts related to health infrastructure in New Zealand. However, specific details about these contracts are often not publicly available due to commercial sensitivity.

Expenditure and Transparency Issues
The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) has previously attempted to withhold information regarding expenditures on goods and services provided by Palantir.
The NZDF argued that disclosing this information could harm Palantir's commercial position by revealing insights into its market strategy.
Public Interest in Disclosure
There is significant public interest in understanding how public funds are spent, which includes transparency regarding contracts with companies like Palantir.
The Chief Ombudsman has recommended that information about Palantir's contracts be disclosed to enhance accountability and trust in government spending.
In summary, while Palantir does hold contracts in New Zealand's health infrastructure, the specifics of these contracts may not be fully disclosed due to concerns over commercial sensitivity.

do you understand what just happened with the Las Vegas biolab case..

Federal prosecutors just DROPPED the main charge against Ori Solomon, the Israeli property manager running an illegal biolab discovered in a short-term rental home in East Las Vegas.

•The home contained lab equipment, centrifuges, samples, human samples, flu vaccines, and testing kits.

•It’s been linked by investigators to another illegal biolab in Reedley, California, which had more dangerous and DEADLY pathogen samples like HIV….

•Housecleaners and workers got severely ill after exposure.

•Solomon was found with multiple illegal firearms and foreign passports with inconsistent name spellings…

•He’s in the US on a visa.

The federal gun charge? DISMISSED

An unlicensed biolab with international connections, illnesses reported, illegal guns… and the feds walk away from their case.

Strange doesn’t even begin to cover it. Why does he get special treatment?…🇮🇱

This is actually huge.

I keep hearing the narrative that many people in China don't have social insurance: that's not true, virtually everyone in China does, BUT - up until now - you were only covered in your Hukou, your official hometown on paper, even if you hadn't lived there in decades.

Which was a big issue for the 357 million migrant workers in China who - if they had a health issue - either had to go back home to get their healthcare covered or pay out of pocket where they lived.

This is now over 👇: China's State Council just announced that workers can now enroll in social insurance wherever they work, regardless of their hukou. 357 million people just got healthcare where they actually live.

It's also huge with respect to what this means for the Hukou system overall: every reform like this chips away at it further. The direction is now unmistakable: the hukou is being dismantled, one benefit at a time.

A British woman was stopped by police at a train station and told she was under investigation after a passenger on a train reported feeling uncomfortable and alleged she had made comments referencing the Holocaust.

Police said they had received a text message alleging she had denied the Holocaust, and subsequently tracked her down and told her she was being investigated for a "racially aggravated public order" offence.

The woman, Fiona Rose Diamond, an activist with anti-Zionist views, said she was expressing political views about the political ideology Zionism.

She said she had just returned from an oncology appointment in London when she was met by British Transport Police at the station.

She also said she believed the timing and circumstances were not a coincidence.

The activist argued that anti-Zionism is increasingly being deliberately conflated with antisemitism in order to silence criticism of Israel and suppress dissenting political views in Britain.

"I am more than entitled to hold beliefs about a political ideology," she said in the video, adding that her grandfather was Jewish.

The incident has sparked renewed debate over free speech in the UK.

Our participants have been brutalized from head to toe by IOF soldiers in Greek waters—while the Greek coast guard and Foreign Ministry stood by. This is not complicity, this is collaboration.

If they will allow israeli brutality here, it’s never been clearer that they will never impede it in Palestine, or anywhere.

IT’S ALWAYS BEEN UP TO US.

The people must continue to rise for our siblings in Palestine and against this unprecedented compromise of European sovereignty and democracy
