This sure must’ve seemed smart when you thought it up Jill but, the US does that all the time, especially with Muslim majority countries

Ngl it’s a bit disheartening to see channels that’ve only existed for a few months and just post hyper negative rage bait get hundreds of thousands of views

Like damn man do I just gotta make videos saying everything sucks? Is that the meta? Lol

🔴 UN: Humanitarian Teams Scaling Up in Gaza, Access Still Severely Restricted

Despite a fragile ceasefire, the UN says aid delivery to Gaza remains heavily constrained by Israeli control of crossings and visa restrictions on international NGOs. Here’s what to know:

▪️ 1. Rafah Still Closed...

▪️ 3. Aid Efforts Under Ceasefire:
On Tuesday, 21 UN partners served 960,000 meals through 175 kitchens. Supported bakeries produced 100,000 bread bundles. UNICEF distributed 1 million diapers, while WHO sent three truckloads of surgical supplies to Gaza City’s central pharmacy.

▪️ 4. Hospitals Expanding:
WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros said the supplies will serve 10,000 people. Two new operating theatres are now functioning at Al-Shifa Hospital, with plans to add 120 beds for trauma and orthopedic care.

▪️ 5. Clearing Access Roads:
UN teams have cleared main roads to Erez and Zikim crossings in the north, preparing for potential reopening. They are now assessing the long-closed Salah al-Din road.

▪️ 6. Destroyed Neighborhoods:
UN staff visited Sheikh Radwan in Gaza City, where returnees described urgent needs for water, shelter, food, and debris removal. Families across Gaza are living in tents or clearing rubble from damaged homes.

▪️ 7. Aid Pipeline Expands:
Through the UN 2720 Mechanism, nearly 200,000 metric tons of supplies have Israeli clearance to enter. Goods now staged in Jordan, Cyprus, Israel, and the West Bank include wheat flour, food parcels, hygiene kits, tents, and medical equipment.

▪️3,500 Tons Delivered So Far:
Between Friday and Tuesday, UN teams collected 3,500 tons of essential supplies from the Kissufim and Kerem Shalom crossings. Deliveries continue each day where access is permitted. The UN said it does not yet have verified truck counts but expects to provide its own data soon.

Palestine Action broke into an RAF base and damaged military aircraft. That the courts can review a decision to ban such an organisation is quite frankly mad. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Government loses bid to block Palestine Action ban appeal

In a highly significant ruling, the Court of Appeal paved the way for the review of the ban before a High Court judge next month.

Societies that condone genocide, that laugh about torture, that dance to songs about burning people’s homes and villages—these are sick societies that are rotting from the inside out. We have seen them before in history, and we see them still now.

always been fascinated by the Spectator's byline caricatures because it's like the artist has chosen to represent the writers' inner lives, showing us who they truly are, these weird deformed uncanny creatures with absolutely deranged opinions. bizarrely revealing
