The prisoner Mahmoud Abu Al-Foul from Gaza was released from the occupation prisons, having lost his eyes due to severe torture and with an amputated foot.

The image shows a man sitting outdoors under clear daylight, wearing a beige Nike shirt. His face appears visibly injured — his eyes are damaged and discolored, consistent with severe trauma — and he has a calm but pained expression.

The banked entrance passage up to the top of Gaer Fawr hillfort has been cleared of vegetation again so it looks impressive as you are funnelled up to the top.

Would it surprise you to learn that we are <closer> now to the Federal Reserve’s actual 2% inflation target than we have been <~85%> of the time (155 months) since the Fed formally established its 2% PCE target in 2012? In all the obsessive inflation coverage, have you heard this even once?

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Every successful protest movement has some people being annoying and obstructive and some being patient negotiators focused on winning hearts and minds. And every such movement has to put up with tedious people insisting that each of these strategies is unconscionable. The magic is in the mixture.

Name a protest movement, anywhere or at any time, that has achieved its goals without being annoying and obstructive.
People like this enjoy the freedoms our political ancestors gained for them, while attacking the means by which they were achieved.

Jack @jackdawg52.bsky.social · 15h

Nope, you make protest obstructive and annoying you lose the good will of the general population.
When they ring their local member to complain - they dont tell the local member to deal with the issues raised by the protesters, they tell them to deal with the protesters.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Jolyon Maugham KC @goodlawproject.org · 22h

Woah! So Labour's position really is, 'telling us off for breaching human rights undermines the case for human rights'? Proper Trumpian stuff from Labour's answer to Suella Braverman.

Israel is using the failure to return the bodies of hostages as a pretext to violate the ceasefire themselves, but as Nour Odeh points out, the ceasefire agreement did not contain a timeline for the handing over of the bodies & Israel already knew it might take weeks or months.

This morning, Israeli occupation forces abducted 7-year-old Mohammad Sabta along with his mother after raiding their home and ransacking its contents in the town of Al-Issawiya, occupied Jerusalem.

This photo shows a young boy dressed formally in a grey suit with a red bow tie, standing indoors and raising one finger while smiling softly at the camera. The background includes ornate white and gold furniture, suggesting a celebratory or formal occasion.
