אני גאה לספר שאני נכנסת לתפקיד הדוברת החדשה של שוברים שתיקה! לפני שלוש שנים ביטלתי את הפטור שלי והתגייסתי לצה״ל במלחמה. גדלתי בחברה החרדית, והתגייסתי כדי לקחת חלק במה שחשבתי אז שהוא הגנה על המדינה. לא דמיינתי שעם סיום השירות הצבאי שלי, במקום לטוס לטיול הגדול או להתחיל לימודים, אני אשבור שתיקה ובטח לא העליתי בדעתי שאבחר לקחת חלק משמעותי אפילו יותר בארגון ולהתחיל לעבוד בו. במערך דובר צה"ל נחשפתי לא רק למציאות בגדה המערבית ובעזה, אלא גם לאופן שבו צה״ל בוחר להציג אותה לציבור. ראיתי עד כמה גדולה השליטה של דובר צה"ל בעיצוב תמונת המציאות שלנו, ולמשחק הבעייתי שלו עם האמת כאילו הוא עוד גוף יח"צ ולא חס וחלילה גוף שמחוייב לציבור. מטרת העבודה של דו"ץ מול הציבור הישראלי הוגדרה לנו כחיזוק אמון הציבור בצה"ל. זכות הציבור לדעת הייתה משנית במקרה הטוב. מטרת העבודה מול הקהל הבינלאומי הוגדרה כחיזוק והרחבת הלגיטימציה לפעולות הצבא. גם כאן, המחיר היה האמת.  בשירות שלי שיחקתי עם הפרטים שיוצאים לתקשורת, ראיתי איך המילה מחבל מוצמדת גם לפלסטינים חפים מפשע ואיך ההודעה נתפרת בהתאם לקהל היעד והמטרה שהוצבה מולו.  אף פעם לא הייתי טובה בלשתוק מול עוולות ופה התבקשתי לעשות להן יח"צ. למדתי איך לנסח עשרות מתים בתקיפה אחת ולהוסיף על אוטומט שאנו מצרים על כל פגיעה בבלתי מעורבים. זו הייתה שגרת השירות שלי. אז אני לא שותקת. אם שירתתם במלחמה, אל תשתקו גם. ובכל מקרה - תעקבו :)

B’Tselem urgently calls on governments and international institutions to act now, using all means available under international law, to prevent the forcible displacement of Palestinian civilians, collective punishment and extensive unlawful destruction in Hebron. Israeli leaders are openly declaring their intentions, and actions on the ground have already begun. Following the shooting near Hebron on 23 October, in which two Israeli soldiers were killed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz openly announced plans to forcibly displace Palestinian residents and carry out extensive destruction in the area. In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared: “We will apply in the cities the successful offensive model we implemented in the refugee camps.” That same model has already displaced more than 33,000 Palestinians in the northern West Bank. Now, Israeli leaders are threatening to bring the same mass displacement and destruction to Hebron. Implementation has already begun. Israeli forces imposed a cordon on Hebron and Halhul, while the Civil Administration began demolishing Palestinian structures in the neighborhood of Farsh al-Hawa. At the same time, Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced the establishment of four new settlement farming outposts in the South Hebron Hills. Israeli leaders are openly announcing plans for collective punishment and acts that could constitute war crimes. These plans echo Israel’s devastating operations as part of the genocide in Gaza and mark a further escalation of its ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing as part of the Elimination Project in the West Bank: the systematic dismantling of Palestinian collective life while expanding settlements and entrenching permanent Israeli control. The world cannot stand by as Israel continues its assault on Palestinians, waiting for yet more neighborhoods to be emptied and erased before intervening, despite what we have already witnessed in Gaza and the northern West Bank. Governments and international bodies must act now to prevent these crimes and protect Palestinian civilians.

O Chile está oferecendo à América Latina, em tempo real, uma aula sobre o que acontece quando a promessa de cortar tudo deixa o palanque e vira orçamento. José Antonio Kast tomou posse em março com um discurso simples: enxugar o Estado, reduzir o déficit e deixar que o mercado, aliviado, voltasse a investir e contratar. Sete meses depois, o país tem desemprego de 9,6%, o maior em mais de cinco anos, e um governo com mais de 60% de desaprovação. O retrato econômico montado pela BBC Mundo é duro. O Produto Interno Bruto caiu 0,5% no primeiro trimestre e 0,2% no segundo, na comparação com o ano anterior, a pior contração desde a pandemia. O investimento produtivo, público e privado, ficou parado no segundo trimestre, a demanda interna praticamente não cresceu e o Fundo Monetário Internacional rebaixou a projeção de 2026 para 0,6%, o que deixa o Chile com a pior perspectiva da região depois da Bolívia. O episódio que melhor resume a lógica do governo ficou conhecido como "bencinazo". Quando a guerra contra o Irã disparou o preço do petróleo, a maioria dos países buscou formas de amortecer o impacto, e Santiago decidiu deixar o mercado agir sozinho porque compensar a alta custaria caro demais ao ajuste fiscal. Num país que importa quase todo o petróleo que consome, a gasolina ficou cerca de 30% mais cara e o diesel subiu mais de 40%, o aumento passou para o frete e para os alimentos, a inflação chegou a 4,1% em julho e as vendas dos supermercados caíram 1,2% em agosto. A motosserra seguiu adiante com corte de 3% no orçamento de todos os ministérios, redução e fechamento de programas sociais classificados como ineficientes e queda do investimento público. O detalhe revelador está no outro lado da balança: em outubro, o presidente sancionou uma reforma que reduz gradualmente o imposto das empresas de 27% para 23% e garante aos grandes investidores regras tributárias congeladas por longo prazo. O sacrifício foi distribuído de baixo para cima, e o alívio, de cima para baixo. É justo registrar que a economia chilena também sofreu choques que não dependem do governo, como a queda de 17,4% da mineração em agosto por problemas operacionais e clima adverso. Mesmo assim, a política fiscal está freando o crescimento, porque menos gasto público significa menos demanda numa economia que já desacelerava. E o próprio governo parece ter percebido: anunciou um plano de US$ 1,3 bilhão em obras e subsídios para criar 100 mil vagas até 2027, medida que não constava do receituário de março e que reconhece, na prática, o papel do Estado quando o mercado para de contratar. Para o Brasil, que vai às urnas no domingo, a comparação é inevitável. Aqui o desemprego ficou em 5,3% no trimestre encerrado em agosto, o menor para o período desde 2012, com recorde de 103,5 milhões de pessoas ocupadas, segundo o IBGE. O vizinho mostra com números o custo de trocar política econômica por slogan, e quem paga esse custo primeiro é sempre o trabalhador que perde o emprego e a família que vê o preço do combustível chegar à mesa.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked a delegation of European diplomats and public figures, as well as Palestinian olive harvesters, in the Christian village of Taybeh near Ramallah on Saturday. The attackers also smashed a window of a Belgian consular vehicle, the reports said. 🔗Read more here: haaretz.com/west-bank/2026-1…

Watch the full film here: youtube.com/watch?v=Fzj3_gbs… A former Israeli soldier exposes how the IDF treats Gaza as a ‘wild west’ with ‘no rules’. Yuval Green served in the 55th Brigade’s 66th Battalion as a medic. He was present when the Battalion’s commander Ofir Adani gave a speech before they entered Gaza in which he told his men: ‘I want you to be angry. I want you to rage. I want you to have a deep sense of revenge. Anyone who messes with us should die. He and his family. And his relatives. And everyone who supported him.’ Green said that as well as Adani giving several speeches like this, Ezra Yachin, a 98-year-old who was involved in a Zionist militia’s 1948 Deir Yassin massacre of Palestinians, gave a speech to his company before they entered Gaza. ‘This guy comes to us, a group of soldiers, and he’s just telling the story of how he massacred villagers…and no one blinks an eye. And I think this shows you very very well what type of atmosphere we’ve had before we went into Gaza. The writing was on the wall.’ Green said he saw widespread damage to residential properties, which could constitute war crimes. ‘I went to [my commander] and I told him, if we’re burning down those houses, I’m leaving the next day. I’m not willing to be a part of it. This is the last straw. And, that’s what happened. They burnt down the houses. I went back, and this was it.’

I was a combat soldier in an elite IDF unit. I served in the West Bank and witnessed firsthand how settlers could do whatever they wanted with impunity. Today I’m the Executive Director of ״Breaking the Silence״ an organization that has collected thousands of testimonies from Israeli soldiers over the past two decades. And I can say with certainty that this statement by IDF spokesperson is a lie. The IDF is not trying to stop Jewish terrorism in the occupied territories. In fact, it protects Jewish terrorists and arms them with US-made M16 rifles. If the IDF genuinely wanted to stop Jewish terrorism, the Chief of Staff could simply order the 30,000 soldiers stationed in the West Bank to carry out arrests. It’s that simple.

Yesterday, I watched Naza. I did not go to learn what had happened in Gaza. I am from there. I am one of the victims of this war, one of its witnesses, and one of those who have paid a price that will not end when the war does. I did not need a film to tell me how entire neighborhoods were wiped away, how residential buildings were bombed with the people still inside them, or how families were forced to leave their homes without knowing where they were supposed to go. Nor did I need anyone to tell me about the famine. I lived through it twice, with all its humiliations, down to the smallest detail. Or about the starving people who were killed while trying to reach what were so absurdly called “food distribution centers.” I know all of this. I was there.

🏛️ Tras el aluvión en Las Condes, el Gobierno decretó Estado de Catástrofe en la comuna a sólo unas tres horas que comenzara el evento. 📱 En redes, usuarios compararon ese plazo con el del sistema frontal de julio en el norte, donde el decreto llegó el 20 de ese mes, cuatro días después de iniciada la emergencia que dejó 13 fallecidos y cerca de 17 mil damnificados. 🗣️ En esa ocasión, ante las críticas, el Presidente Kast dijo que un puesto de mando a cargo de un general de Ejército “no se hace en un par de horas” y que se actúa “sobre la base de la institucionalidad”. 💬 En el post del decreto, algunos usuarios le preguntaron por qué tardó más en Atacama y Coquimbo. #CHVNoticias #CHVPolítica

#Switzerland reaffirms its support for the @IntlCrimCourt as an independent and impartial judicial institution. 🇨🇭 opposes sanctions, threats or other measures aimed at undermining the Court’s independence and its ability to fulfil its mandate. As a court of last resort, the #ICC plays an important role in combating impunity for the most serious international crimes.

Christians were actually the first supporters of Zionism. Today, there is an avalanche of Christian Zionists on social media, and they do prove our point time and time again. Zionism is not a Jewish movement. It is a nationalist movement that “hijacked the name and faith of an entire religious group.” The Christian interpretation of the Land of Israel as a “national birthright” of the Jewish people, versus a spiritual Holy Land, was always vehemently opposed by traditional Jewish schools of thought. What Judaism considered completely deviant was the starting point of Zionism. Ben Gurion publicly denied the existence of GD, yet paradoxically claimed the Bible was the most “important book of his life” for this reason. Full quote: “Since I invoke the Torah so often, let me state I don't personally believe in GD, I mean that I cannot turn to GD..I am not religious, nor were the majority of the early buildings of modern Israel believers. Yet their passion for this land steeped from of the Book of the Books.. And it is why, though I reject theology, the single, most important book in my life is the bible.”

NEW ANALYSIS — In Gaza, Israel’s ongoing destruction during the so-called ceasefire is desecrating the bodies of Palestinians which remain beneath the rubble. Our analysis of videos and satellite imagery finds military practices of demolition, compaction and removal of rubble. These risk making the recovery of Palestinian remains impossible in the 65% of Gaza under Israel’s control.

As a pilot for 20 years I have questions: - where are the cabin crew here? - where are the oxygen masks that automatically drop during a rapid emergency descent? - how did the Capt manage to open the door while being stabbed? - Omani pilots were not allowed to fly to Israel, why was he allowed? - how did the offending pilot get a weapon onboard? - why has this happened so close to elections? - how are passengers walking around while apparently in a nosedive? - who else was injured? Nose dives cause significant g force incidents - why is there two perfectly positioned people recording the incident and not helping? - why did a plumber take control and not the 2 pilots onboard who would certainly know when an aircraft was in a nosedive? - why was the plumber speaking in English to Bibi after the flight - why was he still in his blood soaked clothes 8 hours after the incident False Flags have been a very effective mechanism to influence public opinion Hitler burnt down the Reichstag just before his parliament elections and he won the election…changing the course of history. A full and independent investigation should be carried out here. Hopefully independent journalist will be allowed to view this too.

⭕️ The Israeli military launched a propaganda push Thursday to paint 170 Palestinian journalists in Gaza as "terrorists who posed as journalists," and in at least one case quietly revised evidence that had previously been discredited. The military published "The Press Files" on its website, alongside a video from spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin claiming to reveal "the truth behind these so-called 'journalists,'" tagging the Freedom of the Press Foundation and telling it to update its records. Israel-based +972 Magazine reported in August 2025 on a secret Israeli military intelligence unit, the "Legitimization Cell," created after October 7 to shore up Israel's image abroad and blunt global outrage over its conduct in Gaza, including its killing of journalists. Sources told the outlet the unit hunted for material to justify killings after they happened, later declassifying intelligence for PR. "If the global media is talking about Israel killing innocent journalists, then immediately there's a push to find one journalist who might not be so innocent," one said. Its original case against Al Jazeera journalist Ismail al-Ghoul, killed in an Israeli airstrike in July 2024, rested on a document it said showed he received a Hamas military rank in 2007, when al-Ghoul, born in 1997, would have been 10. His page in Israel’s new files shows a document dated 2014, when he would have been 17. Palestinian journalist Mohammed Abdul Aziz al-Najjar was killed Wednesday in an Israeli strike on his hometoown Khuza’a, east of Khan Younis, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. The office said his death brought the number of journalists killed by Israeli forces in Gaza to 263. The father of three was returned to his family without his head, Palestinian media reported.
