I was looking through the UN Human Rights website which every three months publishes on the website letters and any responses sent by the UN independent experts raising concerns, to see if there are overlooked stories around the world. One letter about the large scale demolition of Bedouin homes in Israel in 2024 caught my attention: According to the al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin, 67 Bedouin communities comprising 340 families were displaced by Israeli authorities in 2024, with nearly 3,000 attacks reported against Palestinian Bedouin communities.
What will Israel eventually do with the Bedouin?

The impending takeover of the Paramount media company by David Ellison’s (Son of Oracle oligarch and uber-Zionist/personal friend of Netanyahu Larry Ellison.) Skydance may come with some outrageous changes to CBS news division. CBS news is one of the big three US news networks available on any TV set. Ellison is apparently buying her company for $200 million! Never has anyone been so insulated from critique from her peers for her output as Bari Weiss. Larry Ellison is half Jewish but was raised by his Jewish aunt and uncle, his uncle or great uncle changed a presumably Jewish sounding name to Ellison in honour of Ellis Island.
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/bari-weiss-free-press-cbs

A thought experiment: would anyone who referred to the killing of 50 Jewish people, many of them “entirely innocent non-combatants, including children,” as “one of the unavoidable burdens of political power, of Palestinian liberation’s dream turned into the reality of self-determination,” ever be hired by a major television news network?
Would their news outlet ever be potentially offered more than $200 million to merge with that major news network?
Of course not, and for good reason. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening, only with one small but major difference: the writer and her news outlet responsible for this statement, Bari Weiss and The Free Press, were not talking about Hamas’ murder of Israelis, but rather about Israel’s killing of 50 Palestinians — “Zionism’s dream turned into the reality of self-determination,” as Weiss described it in 2021.
Weiss is currently in talks to sell The Free Press to CBS News for between $200-$250 million, after reportedly winning over its new owner, David Ellison, “by taking a pro-Israel stance,” according to the Financial Times. Ellison “wants to position The Free Press alongside CBS News,” the paper reported, while another source told the New York Times that Ellison is weighing up giving Weiss “an influential role in shaping the editorial sensibilities of CBS News.”
If so, it would be a major new development in a pervasive double standard we’ve seen in the past nearly two years. Weiss and her outlet have engaged in rhetoric and professional behavior that would ordinarily never pass muster in a newsroom — but are considered acceptable because they are in support of Israel’s war against Palestinians.
For one, The Free Press has repeatedly spread misinformation. In May 2024, the outlet charged that the UN had “admit[ted]” the civilian death toll was 50 percent lower than what was being claimed, a quickly debunked and borderline willful misreading of a UN document, a misreading that the UN secretary-general’s office swiftly came forward to correct (a fact left out of The Free Press’ piece).
One year later, The Free Press declared the idea that Israel was engineering a man-made famine that was underway in Gaza a “myth,” even as Israel was in its third month of blocking all food, fuel, and medicine into the territory and at least 57 civilians had already starved to death, most of them children. As recently as this past Sunday, another Free Press article argued that “there isn’t mass starvation as claimed by pro-Hamas propaganda,” which flies in the face of not just basic reality, but testimony from doctors, major news organizations with journalists on the ground, and even the conclusion of President Donald Trump, a supporter of the war.
Just this past June, The Free Press charged simultaneously that there had both been no massacre of Palestinian aid seekers, and that, if there was, Hamas may have been responsible. Of course, since then, not only have Israeli soldiers admitted to shooting aid-seekers but U.S. contractors are coming forward to back up their gruesome stories. These accounts are becoming a near-daily occurrence, with over 1,000 Gazans killed at or close to aid distribution sites in the past two months.

Ellison is reportedly thinking about making Bari Weiss the head of news or head of editorial. Alternatively he may simply incorporate her media company into CBS somehow. Weiss enjoyed a shocking rise to prominence, becoming head of editorial at the NYT bringing in a lot of other highly ethnocentric Jews who did nothing but write editorials for Israel, push for war against Russia (But I repeat myself) and generally denigrate the gentile population of the US as a threat that needs dealing with. She famously resigned in protest of the “woke” attitudes of the general staff, effectively launching a kite to other Zionists like her obliquely saying “What the hell are we going to do? We can’t fully control social media so what do we do when it’s war crimes o’clock for Israel again?” unlike others protesting these things at the time she wasn’t treated like a pariah but allowed to make her case and have the media respectfully listen. She didn’t explicitly mention Israel or Zionism but given she was born in the late 80s and a Jewish lesbian once married to Kate Mckinnon and treated so nice by the media, I suspect we know what part of wokeness she really meant.
The previous runner (She never owned by acted like it) of Paramount, the reprehensible Shari Redstone (Her gangster grandfather changed it from Rothstein to remove associations with the infamous Jewish gangster, it’s possible he may have been a relative) also personally interfered with CBS news for Israel. She was forced to sell after running the company into the ground (Which her family ultimately bought from her grandfather’s gangsterism in drugs, loan sharking, prostitution and other ventures) with an unending series of spectacularly bad decisions.
https://mondoweiss.net/2025/05/theres-an-under-reported-israel-angle-to-the-corporate-effort-to-muzzle-60-minutes
I cannot overstate how crazy Bari Weiss is and how insane it would be to have her influence or control a major tv news outlet. Her tenure at the New York Times was shocking enough but I’d argue her signings like Bret Stephens (Who advocated for full-scale war with Russia) made her seem normal by comparison. But without even the pathetic standards of the NYT to adhere to she has gone off the rails. Apparently David Ellison finds this to be a feature rather than a bug. I actually cannot believe this is happening at this precise moment in time when children are now starving to death in large numbers. But it makes me hopeful, their insane overreach has exposed to the Israel lobby and it’s danger in a way they can’t roll back plus the sheer evil and savagery. They are thrashing around.
It’s also interesting to note that this week Joeseph Czuba died in prison. He was the one who stabbed to death one of his tenants a 6 year Palestinian boy named Wadea al-Fayoume in a Chicago suburb and also severely wounded the boy’s mother, stabbing the boy over 30 times. He was apparently influenced by the coverage of the Gaza war in the early days on American news. The same news media gave this story minor coverage despite it being exactly what they should go crazy over, the stabbing to death of a 6 year old surely ranks as one of the worst hate crimes by an American white in the 21st if not 20th century. Yet the child was almost treated as just another number, another casualty in Gaza. And, in a way, he was just that.

Tide change and I am swamped by the different narratives/projections under way, so cannot make sense of anything for now.
@ Teri thanks for the interview of Agular on previous thread. Many thoughts, and ways to read that , he took the good path.
His experience and standing allow him to recount what he observed with credibility. Others are also recounting similar (journalists for example).
That puts him at odds with some in the military, pro-zionist US population, various politicians, and “Israeli” forces. It also puts him at odds with various ‘anti empire’ and so on for having served in various conflicts. Not a position many would want to be in and so I hope that his choice of adhering to values at potential cost to himself is appreciated. Even if just for so as to not discourage others who would speak up. I just reduce it to a person with their story to tell…how that gains traction in US or is used is something else.
The overall picture still stands, the US sponsors an aid framework, those that go there say thank you and then get shot. Saying “Israel” is the client means little beyond chain of responsibility, there might be further hierarchy, and so “Israel” might equally also be serving US decision, hence US being really the client. We don’t know, it is often discussed, and it gets confusing. If US president put his signature to it, it is then US from my viewpoint.

It’s been apparent for two or three years now that our defeat in Ukraine would by no means lead to the end of the wider conflict. Both the European and American components will move on to more destabilisation along the entire perimeter of the RF. I thought that the disturbances in Kazakhstan just before the SMO were part of that:-
“Looking at events in Azerbaijan, then, puts all that in context. Ukraine is but one theatre in the ring of destabilisation we’ve been trying to set on fire since long before 2022 and the Russians, in expanding their military so much, are getting ready for any other theatres that might crop up in the future. It’s not as if we in the West haven’t tried to set fires along the Russian perimeter already.
“Just before the SMO we saw the disturbances in Kazakhstan. The Russians sent in a large expeditionary force fast and put the fire out forthwith. Nevertheless, it looked at the time as if we were trying to set the RF on fire both ends at the same time.”
(From comment here, also submitted to MOA>)
https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/jousting-with-the-empire-a-review-of-walden-bellos-global-battlefields
But “suspect”, “looks as if”, aren’t exactly proof. One needs more than that. I think that’s here. At 50 minutes Alastair Crooke sets out an authoritative summary of Western intentions along the Russian perimeter.
Crooke is a scrupulous analyst and acknowledges that his knowledge of some of the events mentioned is incomplete. But allowing for that, what he does know sets out the picture. We’re in for the mixture as before.
It’s being pointed out that Trump has fooled many of those who hoped he’d put an end to these forever wars. Many of us, I should say, because I’d also hoped Trump would do just that. In fact as far as foreign policy goes he’s a re-un of the Biden administration. But he was the only Western politician who at least made the right noises at the time.
Crooke, earlier on in that video, makes the point that Trump’s heading for a lame duck Presidency. The PR requirements of US political faction fighting will therefore lead to the deaths of many more thousands. What’s new there, is all one can say to that.

What would have happened if Iran had continued Bombing israel ?
Posted by: Mark2 | Jul 30 2025 20:31 utc | 32
I believe the US would have been forced to publicly and openly request a ceasefire or sue for peace on behalf of israhell.
However, on the way to that point the Irani State would have had to deal with massive civilian casualties and it was very clear from early on that the Iranis were not prepared to lose any more civilian blood than was needed to repel the Zionist offensive.
In other words, the preservation of civilian life was primary to the State, even over a more comprehensive victory.
In any case, the Iranis won a technical victory, regardless of the fact that their civilian death count was higher. They “took the win”, so to speak.
If there is a next round, I believe the Iranis will behave exactly the same way, i.e:
Do just enough to repel the offensive and reduce Irani civilian casualties.

A summary:
“Sources in Gaza hospitals: 73 martyrs by Israeli occupation fire since dawn today, including 61 aid seekers.” Via Hossam Shabat (martyred).
Note: Several hundred also wounded at two massacres.
Food deliveries today:
“Total trucks: 38 trucks
30 trucks were stolen, while only 8 made it through safely.” Via Ayman Hanideq.
Starvation increasing. In Gaza there are 40 000 infants under one year old, and 60 000 women who are pregnant.
“Israel” invites other countries to take part in airdrops:
https://t.me/Sohaibpress/112489
“We tried” and looks impressive, but supplies via airdrop are not a viable solution, and so far reports are that they are minimal in comparison to by road.
So some are asking what is the point of sending minimal amount of trucks that then get sacked, then putting on an air display.
Germany and Spain said to be organising for airdrops also.
As ‘west’ talks of recognising Palestine (Sept. maybe) , “Israel” is moving towards annexation. Recognition by western countries is not UN recognition, which is understood as the basis legitimisation of use of force that most westetn countries stand behind (or manipulate). In other words, if UN could mandate without UN recognition of Palestine, ‘it would have’.
US is able to veto UN recognition of Palestine.
So airdrops, chaos at ground level, possible increased military offensive to annex Gaza,
“Israel is exploiting the negotiations with Gaza, and the international recognition of Palestine, to annex vast areas in the West Bank, Gaza, and Jerusalem.” Sohaib Al-Masalmeh
It could be said the recognition of Palestine by some western countries is an attempt to ‘not be left out’ , i.e. hedge some appearance of legitimate influence over Gaza/Palestine. It is even possible that it is to provide a motive to “Israel” to annex, is synchronised i.e. to creates a future bargaining point that leads to a false resolution (for example “Israel” concedes Gaza but keeps west bank, Gaza under UN supervision run by western backed enterprise…’all solved’) .
It is the sort of future show we might expect to keep attentions fixed and to try to cover past atrocities as bygone.
In reality, genocide and atrocity continue and none of the mentioned countries have acted, nor act, to oppose that in any meaningful way.

Re. to Prof. Mohammad Marandi on India Global Left, “Israel’s War US Lies & Iran’s Stand on IAEA”, July 30:
Prof. Marandi defends Iran’s recent decision to invite the IAEA to Tehran for talks. In response to disagreement that IAEA should be allowed into Iran at all, he says it means nothing; the meeting could as well take place anywhere. Prof. Marandi also explains that were Iran to refuse to talk to Iran at all, this could influence global community’s opinion on Iran’s position on enrichment or on its relationship to nuclear power in the world? I am not sure. A country’s possession of nukes is of course an understandably sensitive question. However, I disagree with the Prof. that it is meaningless that the IAEA coming yet again to Iran even if it’s only talks and Marandi says will have no effect on Iran’s enrichment or other nuclear plans.
If world opinion is what Iran is worried about, the return of Iran to intercourse with IAEA, without any acknowledgement by Grossi of his previous abuse of his position, would suggest at best that Iran is internally divided between hardliners and the more liberal govt. officials –(the outline of the procedural journey to ratify this plan thru Iran’s governing bodies is somewhat delineated by Marandi and too complicated for this post to follow) — at worst people could interpret this as Iran is still dreaming of rapprochement with the West.
The point is that it seems about time for Iran and the global resistance to USWest global hegemony to stop being afraid of USWest propaganda. Dont they understand that most of the world’s peoples who are opposed to USIZWest, seeing the genocide of the Palestinians, many having already experienced the effects of empire’s past crimes, will not view Iran’s messing about with the IAEA as a positive step — esp. after Iran already correctly acknowledged (and experienced!) the level of IAEA’s corruption? So whom is Iran worried about? The Europeans?
If Iran is taking this step for the superficial reasons Marandi gives, no, Prof. Marandi, NOTAGOODIDEA. (Interviewer Jyotishman looked doubtful also, imo.) Ominous, in fact, or really dumb? Why is Iran doing this?

EO, thanks for your comment and the link to the Alastair Crooke interview with Nima. I have seen that earlier already and agreed with what AC has said. Now I realize that I have not seen the global picture some 10-15 years ago, when I considered the Ukraine war and beginning Syria ‘dirty war’ as regional issue, meaning that it was Israel’s plan “B” to get out of the Palestine lands and get back to Ukraine and Crimea. The plan to create “California in Crimea” was talked about for years before, under the Soviet regime. That’s why I was wrong, fixating on the Israel/Zionist ‘rail’.

As if the Zionist monsters actually care what the EU does – Israel doesn’t even respect the UN, never mind the EU – only force will stop the evil Zionists from completing their genocide. In anycase – it might just be a token gesture from the EU – to make it look as though they are attempting to do something significant against the Zionists.
“The European Union is preparing to partially cut the Israeli regime’s access to the bloc’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program, citing Tel Aviv’s failure to ease the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
EU insiders reported the development on Monday, saying the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, was about to pass a decision on the matter.
The bloc began dwelling on the decision to enact the suspension after the regime refused to honor a prior agreement to substantially boost the flow of food and medical aid to Palestinians in the coastal sliver.
It had compelled the regime to act on the agreement, given that Tel Aviv had all but choked off the flow of desperately needed aid into Gaza during its ongoing war of genocide on the territory.
The suspension targets Israeli start-ups involved in such technologies as cyberspace, drones, and artificial intelligence that could be used by the regime to target Palestinians.”

A new flotilla aimed at breaking the Gaza blockade by the Zionists hopes to set sail – if it leaves from Bristol its should be sailing under a British flag of protection – no doubt the British government will turn a blind eye as the IOF board this flotilla and gets very heavy handed as they tend to do.
“The atmosphere at the Malcolm X Center in the English city of Bristol is charged with purpose. Activists from across the UK and abroad have come together under a new banner, one committed to breaking Israel’s blockade on Gaza.
They call it the global Sumud Flotilla.
What we are going to do next is to go in a mass movement of boats to break the seas, so tens of boats going through different ports, mobilizing so many countries. 44 countries are involved.

My comment from the previous Palestine thread.
Let me be crystal clear. It is not the Resistance to the enemies of Islam, the Jews and the Christians of USUKIS , that are condemned in the Qur’an as hypocrites/ munafiqeen who won’t be forgiven by God .
It is the Muslim collaborators with the enemies of Islam, the Jews and the Christians of USUKIS, that will not be forgiven.
The list of collaborators includes:
1/ Muslim Turkiye which housed the USUKIS NATO headquarters for demolishing Syria in the Syrian War in Adana.
Which attacks its Muslim neighbour, Kurdistan on a daily basis.
Which supplies oil to Israel during the Palestine Genocide.
2/ The tiny little , unimportant Muslim tyrannies of the Gulf, Sauds , Qatar, UAE, Kurdistan, who conduct takfiri , sectarian genocides in order to blacken the name of Islam for the benefit of USUKIS, in the eyes of the rest of the world.
3/ The Islamist groups who operate internationally for example in Russia for the benefit of USUKIS political propganda.
It does not include the Muslim countries which are 100% controlled by USUKIS or under siege by USUKIS proxy jihadists, because they are compelled by force and necessity, not by greed to comply with USUKIS demands.
Nor does it include the non-Muslim countries like China and Russia who continue to trade with the illegal entity during the USUKIS genocide.
Nor does it include Muslims who are seduced by USUKIS propaganda like LinkedIn and Facebook to support the lure of USUKIS culture intellectually , but not politically. For example who don’t support the USUKIS genocide.
People are free, but if they conspire against Islam and Muslim safety, like HTS, bringing war and chaos unnecessarily to Muslim countries, God has stated categorically that they won’t be forgiven for that, even if they go to Mecca for forgiveness.
They will not be forgiven for helping the enemies of Islam to destroy Muslim countries.

The oil-rich Gulf monarchies have the funds to pay Jewlani’s and the jihadists wages, but they won’t use their money to pay mercenaries to fight Israel.
Countries like Jordan and Egypt would be instantly trashed if they dared to resist. War makes poverty unbearable.
These countries are protecting their own populations.
The Gulf monarchies by contrast pay USUKIS to repress their populations with billion dollar contracts . Money that could be spent breaking the Genocidal blockade of human necessities in Gaza.
The point is that the Gulf tyrannies buy the same GPS technology from Israel that Israel uses to kill Muslims. So they are enabling the Israelis to threaten them, paying for the gun and bullet pointed to their own heads.
If you continually cross the road in front of fast moving traffic, are you the same as the person who waits at the lights for the green pedestrian light?
If Israel attacks Jordan or Egypt that will be an act of illegal aggression. But if like HTS and the Gulf tyrannies you are paying your enemy to protect you, that’s a totally different kettle of fish . HTS has given the whole of Syria to Black Rock. Qatar has given its sea as a pernanent parking space for the US military.
That’s not the same as Jordan and Egypt being used against their will by USUKIS.

May be they should ask their own populations what they think aboout protecting the child mudererer monsters starving their brothers, because Yemen has been bombed by Saudi Barbaria, UAE, US, Israel, UK, by everyone and his mother, subject to a medioeval siege, blocked, sanctioned, isolated, attacked by takfiri proxies, starved, but they continue to fight for the palestinian children, as the iranians do.
All the cowards have an excuse to let the bully crush their brothers.

I apologize if I am repeating already posted information. Gayatri Galloway of Social Media News Update portion of George Galloway MOATS July 30, “He Hasn’t Gone Away/Epstein Stalks Trump, etc. MOATS LIVE show (link on John Gilberts post #58 on OT 2025-170) has said that as of July 30, 2 of 21 Handala people taken by Israel, Chris Smalls, US labor union organizer, founder of the Amazon Labor Union and Hatem Laouini, a Tunisian trade unionist remain in Givon Prison in Ramala. They are being subjected to same conditions as Palestinians, including torture. A third prisoner, Santiago Gonzalez Vallejo, a Spanish economist and retired trade unionist was released a couple days ago. On July 28 the International Trade Union Confederation stated that it “condemns Israeli interception of Handala solidarity boat and arrest of trade unionists.”
Following this report by Gayatri Galloway, she and George Galloway held an in- depth discussion of the incredible level of racism in Israel. Ugandan and Ethiopian Jews are two groups of African Jews who have migrated to Israel. They are second class citizens there. Israel even went so far as to require that Ethiopian Jews be injected with birth control serum.
The American Chris Smalls demonstrated special bravery by joining the Handala sailors during the time of the Trump administration, imo, which certainly will not lift a finger to help him regain his freedom, although to do so is the responsibility required by the POTUS. Trump doesn’t help Palestinians who are American citizens when Israel abuses, even kills them, nor would he behave responsibly toward a black person, having directed his highest racist attitude toward blacks, as far as I know. To make Smalls situation even worse, imo, the labor unionizer had been invited to the White House when President Biden was in office. This is such an unfortunate occurrence, I would speculate, since it could even contribute to Trump’s greenlighting Israel’s treatment of this particular prisoner. It is a very worrisome situation. I do not know enough about Smalls to know what sort of support he can garner. I imagine there will be more news forthcoming about this distressing story.

This is from this morning – Smalls has been completely ignored by the US Embassy and remains in custody.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:
“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”
Not providing consular visitation to a US citizen who is requesting it is an insane move. It the core duty of a consular section. The US diplomatic mission to Israel has made it very clear that there are some American citizens the United States government doesn’t care about.

I feel like I am hogging the thread this morning, but I did want to post this tweet, too:
———-
Col. Larry Wilkerson:
Put a damn British regiment on the ground. Put it on the ground right there in the Philadelphi Corridor. Put it on the ground in Egypt. Put it somewhere with food and go in there and tell the IDF, “I’ll shoot your goddamn ass if you try to stop me.”
Do something! Tell the United States, “You’ve got a military. You use your military, too.”
Trump is begging others to do what they need to do. Get your military over there! Shoot those damn IDF soldiers!

I am fussy about calling things what they are. It’s important to not operate in another’s frame.
It’s not a war. Hamas has no air force, no mechanized troops, no satellite intelligence. No navy, no barracks, etc.
This has been indigenous people trying to hold their land and prevent their extermination.
A fight for survival, not unlike what Hezbollah wages in Lebanon.
We’re told that the resistance movements are terrorists and the rapist Israelis have Western values.
The language of Empire.

Posted by: LoveDonbass | Jul 31 2025 13:35 utc | 83

The empire doesn’t only invade countries.
It invades narratives.
It rewrites memory.
It criminalizes the victims.
It pathologizes the resistors.
It elevates the occupier into a reluctant hero.
It tells you that the people being bombed brought it on themselves.
That starvation is a security measure.
That carpet bombing is a moral act if done by the right hands.
And the moment you believe it,
It wins without firing a shot.

To b. and the few posters I respect.
Sorry about the outburst last night and cursing.
However, it is only apology to you all, not to the garbage hasbara who I cursed.
My hatred for the genocidals is now so big it could power a small country.
I could not avert my eyes all this time from the horror and ugliness.It has damaged my life, but feel have nothing to complain, having seen it all now and still alive, relatively safe.
However, I have realized that i should not comment about what I do to them genocidals here in my little colony ( to spare b. our host).
I should be proceeding on my own, when the nightfall comes.And when I hunt them.
Again,sorry to b. about my cursing.I will take a break from writing here. If I ever get normalish, then I write again.
Thank you for a platform, but, honestly I abused it because it has became too small for my rage, and it is not fair to you.
Of course, I will read you and the people I respect.
Though, I have enough sources since forever.
Sorry b., and thank you.

Considering that the Evil Empire lifted not one finger to help Gonzalo Lira (RIP) and in fact may have abetted his murder, the chances that Chris Small will get any help – from murikan anyway – are Zip.
Yes, Burnie Sanders is a zio snake. Always has been.
Peace be with you stranger.

Explosions, Fires, Prolonged Blackouts Paralyze Israeli Cities amid Infrastructure Breakdown
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Widespread power outages, fires, and equipment explosions have plunged the Israeli occupied cities of Rahat, Ramla, and Lod into darkness, triggering public outrage and exposing the deep fragility of the occupying regime’s infrastructure.
Local media outlets reported growing protests by residents in Rahat, Ramla, and Lod as repeated power failures and electrical fires disrupted daily life.
The power outages, often lasting several hours, come amid soaring summer temperatures, leading to cases of heatstroke and hospitalizations.
Residents condemned the regime’s inability to provide basic services, highlighting the deteriorating state of critical infrastructure under Tel Aviv’s administration.
“The situation in Lod is unbearable; constant blackouts and voltage spikes are destroying our appliances, and the electricity company is powerless to fix anything. It feels like living in a city with no infrastructure or solutions for its people,” a settler wrote on social media:
A video circulating online shows an electrical technician standing next to a transformer and scorched high-voltage fuses, explaining: “Due to severe and unexplained voltage fluctuations from the main grid, electricity is available for just three to four hours a day.
Every two hours, fuses and some transformers explode. The explosions are terrifying locals, and power transmission has been severely disrupted.”
The failure underscores a growing crisis in the regime’s internal stability, where even essential services are unraveling under pressure.
This comes as part of a broader pattern of systemic decay in the occupying entity’s urban management and public infrastructure.

https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/belgium-refers-war-crimes-cases-against-two-israeli-soldiers
Belgian authorities have referred war crimes complaints filed against two Israeli occupation soldiers to the International Criminal Court (ICC), marking a precedent-setting case in Europe. The decision, announced by the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office on July 30, follows complaints filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) earlier in July.
The legal action stems from the soldiers’ presence at the Tomorrowland music festival in Boom, Belgium, where they were identified as members of the Israeli Givati Brigade. They had reportedly been waving their unit’s flag during a performance, drawing the attention of human rights activists.
