Eight years ago today, this journalist was murdered and dismembered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by this incompetent idiotic despot.
Today, Saudi Arabia faces one the most serious crises in its modern history.
These two stories should be read together. A thread

"Chiunque potrebbe uccidere chiunque volesse, quante volte volesse, e non ne risponderebbe a nessuno"
Un militare dell'IDF ha parlato con il quotidiano israeliano Haaretz a condizione di anonimato, ha dichiarato di essersi arruolato nell'esercito nel 2008 e di aver ucciso almeno 54 palestinesi "compresi civili disarmati".
Durante il genocidio a Gaza, ha prestato servizio in una cellula di droni per attacchi.
Ha assistito al famoso attacco dell'esercito israeliano contro ambulanze chiaramente identificate nel quartiere di Tel al-Sultan a Rafah nel marzo 2025, in cui persero la vita 15 operatori umanitari e medici palestinesi.
L'esercito israeliano negò ogni addebito.
Dopo il ritrovamento di una fossa comune contenente le vittime, promise un'inchiesta. Nessun soldato israeliano è stato processato per gli omicidi.
"Erano chiaramente identificabili come veicoli di soccorso, anche quando sono stati bersagliati dal fuoco di terra", ha dichiarato il militare ad Haaretz, descrivendo la notte dell'attacco.
"Senza alcuna ragione apparente, le truppe di terra hanno assaltato il convoglio. Hanno sparato al primo veicolo. Il personale medico è uscito, si è nascosto dietro le ambulanze e ha implorato per la propria vita, e i soldati hanno sparato anche a loro, uno dopo l'altro" ha detto.
“Dopo questo episodio, ho capito che chiunque potrebbe uccidere chiunque volesse, quante volte volesse, senza doverne rispondere a nessuno.”
Il militare, operatore di droni, tornato in servizio dopo una vacanza, chiede all'ufficiale gli obiettivi da caricare sul computer.
"A Gaza hai due milioni di obiettivi da colpire" risponde l'ufficiale.
"Sparano a chiunque vedano", ha detto, descrivendo quella che paragona all'atmosfera di uno stadio di calcio all'interno della sua base operativa.
«Proprio come gridano a un giocatore: "Forza, segna un gol!", allo stesso modo gridano a un soldato: "Uccidilo, attaccalo!".
Il militare ha assistito, senza intervenire, a scene in cui le forze israeliane monitoravano atti efferati commessi da milizie collaborazioniste della criminalità palestinese sostenute e finanziate dall'esercito israeliano.
"Bruciano file di case e noi li guardiamo dall'alto. Incendi dolosi, saccheggi, sparatorie"
Questa è Gaza, un gigantesco campo di sterminio, un luogo di morti viventi, parco giochi per occidentali disumani.

For decades, B’Tselem has documented violence, demolitions, displacement and the dispossession of Palestinians from their land in the West Bank.
Raj’in (“We Shall Return”) brings this documentation work into a new medium.
Co-created by Faiz Abu Rmeleh and Keren Manor and co-produced by B’Tselem and NowHere Media, the film, which is currently being screened as part of the Venice International Film Festival, was shot with 360° cameras and also incorporates footage filmed by Palestinian residents and protective presence activists. Through virtual reality, it places viewers inside the spaces where Palestinian shepherding communities in the West Bank face Israeli violence, demolitions and displacement from their land.
Since October 2023, 65 Palestinian communities have been entirely forcibly displaced, while another 18 have been partially displaced. More than 4,861 people have been driven from their homes and land, including at least 2,315 children.

The Israeli military destroyed an entire Palestinian village yesterday. Al-Taban — in Masafer Yatta, the occupied West Bank — was home to 12 families making up 70 people, including 23 children.
The Palestinians who lived there made their living farming and raising livestock. Al-Taban is Palestinian land.
Bill Koller retweeted
Israel continues to enjoy nearly total with impunity while its heinous violations of the rights of Palestinians result in extreme suffering, loss of lives, destruction of properties and displacement. States must end their apathy and impose targeted sanctions against Israeli officials directly implicated in ethnic cleansing and unlawful occupation and ban trade, investments or financial assistance that fuel apartheid and unlawful occupation or risk complicity in Israel’s violations.

The Battle of Britain started 10 July 1940.
The largest and most effective group of foreign aircrew were from Poland - 145.
303 Kościuszko Squadron became the most successful Fighter Command unit which shot down 126 German planes in only 42 days.

BREAKING - A Swiss Tribunal recognises the legitimate right to peacefully oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
One again: justice for Palestine starts at home. It only takes people caring and applying Intl Law. And persevering.
🚨 HISTORIQUE : La justice suisse refuse de criminaliser la solidarité avec la Palestine !
À Genève, le tribunal vient de rendre une décision majeure qui fera date en Europe :
1️⃣Il reconnaît qu’un génocide est en cours.
2️⃣Il juge qu’aucun motif ne justifie de sanctionner des militants pacifiques.
3️⃣Il rappelle que la liberté d’expression protège la désobéissance civile non violente et que réprimer ces mobilisations est incompatible avec la démocratie.
Une victoire cruciale : défendre les droits humains n’est pas un crime. 🍉✌🏼
