#Israel claims they're refusing to allow aid into #Gaza so that #Hamas won't steal it.
Is #WorldCentralKitchen Hamas?
Because Israel hasn't let any of #WCK's aid into Gaza for two months. Aid that is in WCK trucks, stored in WCK warehouses, cooked by WCK volunteers.
And now WCK's kitchens in Gaza are out of ingredients and cooking fuel, and they can't feed people anymore.
This isn't self-defense, it's intentional starvation. It's a #warCrime. It's #genocide.

World Central KitchenWorld Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run OutAfter serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.

Humanitarian relief ship attacked off the coast of Malta by US-armed IsraelI warplanes, drones and bombs.
In what sane world can a civilian ship in international waters carrying humanitarian supplies to a besieged population be attacked with ZERO outcry/protest/action from western world or western press.
The article in the #NYTimes mentioned the incident with the headline "Explosions Cripple Ship Carrying Aid to Gaza in the Mediterranean Sea". Like this was just a maritime accident!!
We can expect no further action from the western governments (European and US allies) or the western press as the governments of the west continue with their racist genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
The only action being taken to try to stop the genocide is from one of the poorest countries in the world, which has endured attack by the west for more than a decade and is currently under withering attack by #US war machine.
I guess all those history classes in school about America defending freedom and democracy around the world, a force for good and all that is ringing hollow right now for all those people like me who bought into that propaganda as a youth. You have to practice extreme compartmentalization skills to manage the cognitive dissonance created between the myth vs reality of US actions in the world. I guess safer to just ignore it, which is where the western press comes in handy.

New footage shows the aftermath of the Israeli attack on the Freedom Flotilla vessel, which was targeted by two drone strikes last night in international waters off the coast of Malta.

The ship, carrying 30 international human rights activists along with humanitarian aid en route to Gaza, caught fire and suffered hull damage, leaving it at risk of sinking while the crew battled the flames.

An Israeli Air Force C-130 Hercules was spotted leaving Israel on Thursday afternoon, heading to #Malta, according to the flight tracking website ADS-B Exchange.

The data shows that the plane did not land at Malta’s international airport but flew at a relatively low altitude over eastern Malta for hours before the Israeli attack on the #FreedomFlotilla, raising concerns about unauthorized military activity in #EU airspace.

#ViktoriiaRoshchyna, the 1st #Ukrainian #journalist known to have died in Russian captivity, worked reported for several independent news outlets including #UkrainskaPravda & #RadioFreeEurope.

“Viktoriia was the only reporter who covered the occupied territories. For her, it was a mission,” Sevgil Musaieva her editor at Ukrainska Pravda told Forbidden Stories, referring to the fact that she reported from #Russia occupied parts of #Ukraine after #Putin launched the Feb 2022 offensive.

A forensic examination of her body revealed numerous signs of torture & ill-treatment, Yuriy Belousov, the head of the #WarCrimes Unit at the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s office said last week. These included “abrasions & hemorrhages on various parts of the body, a broken rib, neck injuries, & possible electric shock marks on her feet,” he said.

Japanese Hotel [rec. Guesthouse] Asks Israeli Settler Tourist to Sign Anti-War Crimes Declaration - Quds News Network (2025-04-26)

>> The tourist, a former combat medic in Israel’s navy reserves, said staff at the Wind Villa Hotel gave him the form after he presented his Israeli passport. The document demanded he confirm that he had never attacked civilians, killed prisoners, tortured detainees, committed sexual violence, or participated in forced displacement or looting.

>> The hotel reportedly requires all Israeli and Russian guests to sign the same pledge.

>> The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported the incident on Saturday. The Israeli tourist called the request “ridiculous and absurd,” but he eventually signed to avoid being denied a room.

So far no coverage in Japanese media (ex. in X, maybe). Will post if something should come up.
