""I was never a fan of #Iran, I still don't like them because of their intervention in #Gaza and other #Arab countries, but seeing them retaliate for real, not a play like in previous times, made me happy, despite all the sadness around me," said Amr Salah, 29.

"It is nothing compared to what #Israel did to Gaza, but at least a taste of it. It is maybe time to end all of this, in Gaza too," he added."

"A group of activists including a priest has initiated a hunger strike inside a historic church in central #Brussels, demanding urgent justice for #Palestine and pressing the #EuropeanUnion to sever all ties with #Israel.

The Beguinage Church, known for its longstanding commitment to social responsibility projects supporting migrants, the homeless, and the poor, is now hosting a five-day hunger strike to highlight ongoing human rights violations in Palestine."

Egypt's Crackdown on the Global March to Gaza

Instead of receiving permission from #Egyptian authorities to march to the Rafah border crossing, participants have been subject to hotel raids, harassment, arrests, and deportations.

from #DropSiteNews
Ahmed Dahaby
Jun 14, 2025

"CAIRO, EGYPT—On Friday, some 200 participants in the Global March to Gaza were stopped at a security checkpoint outside of #Cairo, #Egypt as they made their way to Ismailia, a city on the Suez Canal 80 miles east of Cairo. After being held at the checkpoint for several hours and having their passports temporarily confiscated, marchers were physically dragged onto buses back to Cairo by plainclothes security officials. Other participants who separately managed to reach the hotel in Ismailia were similarly rounded up, some beaten and forced onto buses back to Cairo."

Leaked Data From Meta Reveal Israeli Companies Are Struggling To Find Customers

"A review of leaked data from #Meta, provided to us by company whistleblowers, shows that #Israeli companies since 2023 are finding it increasingly difficult everywhere around the world to attract new customers, leading to advertising-cost increases in the billions.

We also just posted the translated audio of an extraordinary interview just given by former Israeli PM #YairLapid, who is often discussed as a more humane, centrist alternative to #BenjaminNetanyahu. Give it a listen and see if you agree with that label."

"It's an order—destroy the neighborhood so Arabs can't return"

Israel's destruction of Gaza’s schools

Sami Vanderlip and Younis Tirawi
Jun 06, 2025

"“You just need to destroy the neighborhood, so that they can’t come back there. Why to destroy? That’s the mission; that’s what I carry out.”

Those are the words of an Israeli sergeant from the 432 Tzabar Battalion of the #GivatiBrigade who spoke to #DropSiteNews on condition of anonymity due to #Israeli military policy. Givati was one of the brigades involved in implementing the General’s Plan—a policy devised by former General Giora Eiland that used the lack of access to water, food, and medicine as a weapon of war to force the besieged #Palestinians in the north of #Gaza to starve or surrender."

Tell Congress: Support the Block the Bombs Act.

[#JewishVoiceForPeace #JVP]
June 5, 2025

On June 5, Members of #Congress introduced the first ever bill that proactively seeks to prevent the U.S. from sending some of the worst weapons to the #Israeli military.

Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (Illinois) along with Representatives Sara Jacobs (California), Pramila Jayapal (Washington), and Mark Pocan (Wisconsin) led 18 other members of #USCongress in introducing the Block the Bombs Act, historic legislation that would prevent #Trump from sending some of the worst-offender weapons that #Israel has used to carry out genocide against #Palestinians in #Gaza.

Tell your member of Congress to join the Block the Bombs Act today.

"Among the terms #Hamas wants included in any deal are a guarantee that as long as Palestinian resistance forces hold their fire, negotiations for a complete end to the genocide will continue beyond a 60-day initial truce and that this would be guaranteed by the #US., Egypt and Qatar. “The United States and President #Trump are committed to working diligently to ensure the continuation of negotiations until a final agreement is reached,” the document says."

"Before hostilities resumed, the #UnitedNations operated a vast and effective aid delivery system inside #Gaza. During the recent cease-fire, we were delivering assistance like essential vaccines and medicine, lifesaving nutrition services and access to clean water through more than 400 distribution points, including in sites close to shelters for displaced families. #UNICEF and our partners went even further, delivering aid door-to-door, reaching malnourished children and pregnant women directly in their places of refuge."
