Jordanian security forcibly disperse anti-Israel rally in Amman

Jordanian security forces rushed at protesters with batons and shields as they moved towards the Israeli Embassy in Amman for a seventh night in a row.

Protesters have expressed solidarity with Palestinians in their marches and called for an end to Jordan’s massively unpopular peace treaty with Israel as the war on Gaza continues to claim civilian lives.



Translation: Jordanian security forces disperse a massive demonstration in the Jordanian capital, Amman, which ran for the seventh day in a row in support of Gaza and denouncing the Israeli aggression.


Clashes in Tel Aviv as Israeli protesters threaten to ‘burn country down’

Demonstrators in Tel Aviv are saying they are increasingly angry at the government’s inability to bring back the remaining Israeli captives.

Now, there was a rally held by the family members of those being held in Gaza and they say they are tired of holding peaceful rallies. They are calling on all Israelis to take to the streets and “burn the country down”.

Previously, they were calling for Benjamin Netanyahu to resign and for elections to be held immediately. And now they are saying he needs to be overthrown and until that happens, these protests in massive size and scale will continue.

Tonight, we saw a lot of violence between protesters and Israeli police as they attempted to clear roads. Here in Tel Aviv, protesters tried to block a major highway known as Ayalon, something that was a reoccurring theme during last year’s antigovernment demonstrations over judicial changes and police have come out in force in order to try and prevent that.




Pro-Palestinian protestors chain themselves to US navy ship in San Francisco

Pro-Palestinian protestors chained themselves to the gangway of a United States Navy ship that they claimed was headed to Gaza to provide support for Israel.

Dozens of demonstrators gathered at Pier 32 in San Francisco to protest a ceremony for the USNS Harvey Milk ship and its namesake that was attended by US House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco Mayor London Breed.

A US Navy spokesperson said that speculation the ship was headed for the Middle East was incorrect and the vessel was actually scheduled to depart for Norfolk, Virginia. Local media reported that authorities used bolt cutters to remove some demonstrators who had chained themselves to the ship’s gangway.

Ten women and four men were arrested for trespassing, with five also charged with resisting arrest, according to San Francisco police said.



US ‘undermining integrity of UN procedures system’: Special rapporteur

Earlier this week, US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller dismissed a damning report by the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, that found Israel is committing “acts of genocide” in the Gaza Strip.

Miller said Albanese has had a “history of anti-Semitic comments” and that the “allegations of genocide are unfounded”.

Reem Alsalem, the UN special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, now says it is “deeply concerning” that rather than engaging with the conclusions of the report, the US government “has moved to slander and smear” Albanese – who has also received threats.

“Whereas many of us are attacked for doing the work we were mandated to do by the [UN Human Rights Council], it is particularly alarming when a member state of the Council does so. It undermines the integrity of the special procedures system,” Alsalem wrote in a post on X.




Unbelievable, fuck the US

US lawmaker says Gaza should be treated ‘like Nagasaki and Hiroshima’

A US lawmaker has been captured on video invoking the atomic bombings of Japan’s Nagasaki and Hiroshima as an example for how to bring a “quick” end to the war in Gaza.

In a video posted on X, Tim Walberg, a Republican who represents Michigan in the House of Representatives, can be heard telling a town hall that the conflict should be treated like the Japanese cities were during World War II.

“We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid. It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick,” Walberg said.



Israel is going to be your only ally in the world, and not a very good one at that.
