Nearly one million of Gaza’s 1.1 million olive trees have been destroyed—bulldozed by Israeli forces, left to die from thirst, or trapped behind military lines. In his new report for Drop Site, Gaza journalist Mohamed Suleiman reports from Al-Mawasi and Khan Younis, where farmers are enduring...

The Tel Aviv police appear to be antisemitic.

Israel murdered 44 people in Gaza today because one of Israel's bulldozers hit unexploded ordinance and blew up.

So they blamed Hamas and used it as an excuse to go on a killing spree.

Now they say they will go back to the Ceasefire.

"The Israeli Premier League derby between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled by police after "violent riots" before kick-off."

There are MANY politicians who owe West Midlands police a profound apology.

🚨BREAKING -- The Ministry of Defence has announced that it has ceased surveillance flights over Gaza.

Over 600 spy flights were sent over Gaza between December 2023 and 10 October 2025.

"We thank our UK personnel for their dedication and professionalism", the MoD said.

We must sever all diplomatic ties with the genocidal apartheid state of Israel immediately.

Expel the ambassador. Close the embassy.

As apartheid South Africa was isolated, so too must Israel be — a pariah state.

We’ll march until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.

Well there's the hat-trick.

Israel should be banned, but them getting fucking smashed by Norway is the next best thing
Let’s go Norway. It’s not every day I hope for a Haaland hat trick, but I’d love to see him put up 5+ goals against Israel today. It’s shameful that the match is even happening but the cease fire gave UEFA an excuse to stall more, and we know FIFA won’t do anything if Gianni can help it.
Will the Israelis release Doctor Hussam Abu Sufiya?

Van Jones, two NYT journalists and Michael Powell (of The Atlantic, formerly NYT) are among 16 "scholars and journalists" serving as mentors for a journalism fellowship with the mission to "support a secure State of Israel,” and which the founder says exists to win an "information war."
Today, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Omar Yaghi, born to Palestinian refugees from Gaza.
