Kicking and screaming, the 4th Reich is dragging the world into they imperialist abyss again

🇮🇷 🇵🇸 PALESTINE WILL BE FREE 🇵🇸 🇮🇷

On June 18, Israel’s Higher Planning Council approved a new military order allowing the army to conduct live-fire training in the 918 firing zone—an area that encompasses 12 Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank. The villages were the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, chronicling the community’s decades-long fight to stay on their land.

➤ The decision paves the way for the complete destruction of all 12 villages, home to nearly 2,800 people, and marks a major escalation in what both residents and rights groups describe as the final stage of ethnic cleansing.

➤ The move was made without public notice, formalizing Israel’s annexation of the area and granting sweeping authority to the Israeli military to proceed with mass eviction and demolition.

➤ Lawyers say only two channels remain to stop the expulsions: on-the-ground solidarity and urgent diplomatic pressure.

This is the 24th year that the United Nations has released this report on grave violations against children.

The report, released annually, looks at the number of children globally who have been killed, maimed or recruited into armed conflict, among other things. The report only documents cases that the UN has been able to independently verify.

Now, despite ample evidence that Israel should have been included on this list for many years, it wasn’t – as the UN bowed to Israeli pressure not to be named in the report.

But that all changed last year when Israel was included for the first time. And now this year, marking two years in a row that Israel is named and shamed.

In the annexe of the report looking at 2024, it says Israeli forces remained on the list because they fulfilled the criteria of a “party that kills and maims children” and “a party that engages in attacks on schools and/or hospitals”.

Globally, the UN was able to verify 41,370 grave violations against children in 2024.

Roughly 20 percent of the total – more than 8,000 – were committed by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Iran criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi, accusing him of complicity in the Western-led campaign of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry's spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, criticized Grossi’s recent remark that the agency "did not have any evidence of a systematic effort [by Iran] to move into a nuclear weapon." He called the statement "too little, too late," and denounced what Iran sees as a dangerously politicized role played by the IAEA under Grossi’s leadership.

The Iranian official said Grossi's earlier “biased report,” filled with baseless allegations of non-compliance, was used by the E3 (France, Germany, UK) and the United States to push through a resolution that ultimately served as a pretext for a "genocidal, warmongering regime" to launch an illegal act of war on Iran.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Thursday condemned "Israel's" military strikes against Iran, warning the United States and European powers against "fanning up the flames of war," according to a Foreign ministry spokesperson.

President Donald Trump has fuelled speculation about the US joining its key ally "Israel" in military action against Iran, saying Wednesday that his patience had "run out" with Tehran, but that it was still not too late for talks.

He later said he had not yet made a decision on whether to join "Israel" in bombing Iran and warned that the country's current leadership could fall as a result of the war.
