Another brutality by Israel

At one point, Sabriya attempted to move and called out to her son Hassan, fearing he had been arrested. The soldiers responded by shoving her violently with their rifles, knocking her to the ground and shouting at her to be quiet.

The elderly woman’s head struck the wall, causing her to lose consciousness. Her husband panicked, shouting and pleading with the soldiers to help, but they refused.

After the soldiers left, Sabriya’s husband and son rushed her to Darwish Nazzal Governmental Hospital in Qalqilya. A heavy presence of Israeli military vehicles had prevented an ambulance from reaching the scene.

At the hospital, Sabriya was pronounced dead from the injuries she sustained during the raid, leaving her family in deep shock.

The family is awaiting the arrival of Sabriya’s daughter from Jordan before they bid her a final farewell and lay her to rest, as the whole town grieves.

A clear majority of Americans now view Israel unfavourably, according to a new Pew Research Center survey, in the latest sign of collapsing public support for the occupation state. Pew found that 60 per cent of US adults now have an unfavourable opinion of Israel, while just 37 per cent express a favourable view.

The figures mark a sharp deterioration from last year, when 53 per cent of Americans viewed Israel negatively. Pew said the share of Americans with a “very unfavourable” view has also surged to 28 per cent, up nine points in a year and nearly triple the level recorded in 2022. 

The survey, conducted between 23 and 29 March among 3,507 US adults, suggests that Israel’s standing in the US has continued to erode even after decades of political, media and diplomatic protection from Washington.

The collapse in support for Israel is even stark among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. Eighty per cent of Democratic voters now hold an unfavourable view of Israel, up from 69 per cent last year and 53 per cent in 2022. Among Republicans and Republican leaners, 41 per cent now view Israel negatively, although a majority in that camp still retain a favourable opinion overall. 

It's fascinating to watch. One element is probably the sharp decline of mainstream media and the rise of social media. Probably most people under the age of 50 don't even watch CNN, Fox News, NBC, CBS etc and instead get their news from social media channels - which are much, much harder for Zionists to control.

The decline of Trump and MAGAism is probably another factor, plus the likes of Tucker Carlson not being afraid to slaughter Israel on his YouTube channel.

Israel targets Lebanese army. First Hezbollah then UN peacekeepers and now the Lebanese army. They must be doing three teams on 8-hour continuous shifts so that the killing never pauses even for a moment.

Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon with a direct strike on the government complex in Nabatieh, killing 13 members of the State Security apparatus and injuring others.

The strike hit an official Lebanese institution, marking a significant expansion in the scope of Israeli targeting.

The attack came alongside a broader wave of air raids, artillery shelling, and demolition operations across southern Lebanon.

Strikes targeted Deir al-Zahrani, Kfarreman, Qaqaiyat al-Jisr, Srifa, and Bint Jbeil, while additional attacks hit Douris and Sahmar in the Bekaa, where further casualties were reported.

Israeli forces also struck a newly established Civil Defense point in Siddiqin, and hit roads and infrastructure in the Tyre district, including routes linking Deir Qanoun Ras al-Ain and al-Housh.

Every other country on the planet would have sanctions coming out of their ears for the things that Israel does.

that was a very worrying half of football. Midfield being destroyed, back 4 could concede on any of Leeds attacks.

time to see what Carrick can do about this mess. Big changes needed

L'Espresso have done us a big favour. I'm not sure people in the West are aware of just how evil the settlers are - that's a great cover photo and the Zionists' attempts to debunk it have totally backfired.
