โš ๏ธ Haditha Massacre: Photos the US Marines Didnโ€™t Want the World to See Have Been Released after FOI Request

WARNING: Distressing Images


On the morning of Nov 19, 2005, a squad of Marines travelling in four Humvees in the town of Haditha, Iraq, had their convoy hit by an IED. The blast killed one Marine and injured two others.

During the next hours, the US Marines killed 24 Iraqi men, women, and children. They entered three nearby homes and killed nearly everyone inside. The youngest victim was a three-year-old girl.

The Marines would later claim that they were fighting insurgents that day, but the dead were all civilians.

The killings came to be known as the Haditha massacre. Four Marines were charged with murder, but those charges were later dropped.

Israel launched a massive attack on several cities in the illegally occupied West Bank, which is expected to be the largest in 22 years, late on Tuesday night.

Israel targeted the Jenin refugee camp, the al-Far'a refugee camp, and the Nur Shams refugee camp and Anabta, in Jenin, Tubas, and Tulkarm respectively, as well as Nablus.

At least 11 Palestinians have been killed so far. Israeli bulldozers are now wrecking roads and infrastructure to make life for the Palestinians living under occupation even harder.

This is what the US, UK and EU arms and supports.

โ›”๏ธ Namibia Blocks Cargo Ship Docking over Israeli War Crime Concerns

A vessel suspected by the Namibian authorities to be carrying military cargo intended for Israeli use in its ongoing war in Gaza has been blocked from docking in the southern African country.

Namibian Justice Minister Yvonne Dausab told local media the ship was stopped because it had โ€œexplosive material destined for Israel.โ€

Rights groups had warned that Namibia could have been implicated in potential human rights violations had it allowed the vessel to dock.

The MV Kathrin, which set off from Vietnam, had requested permission to dock in the port of Walvis Bay โ€“ before sailing north, on a suspected route towards the Mediterranean via the Strait of Gibraltar.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Britain wants Ukraine to attack Russia with long-range Storm Shadow missiles but is not raising the issue publicly to avoid a scandal with the US

The article also states that British missiles will not hit Russian territory without US authorisation.

According to The Telegraph, British missiles are usually used in conjunction with classified American systems, which requires Washington's permission. According to the publication, Britain has not made a formal request to the US because the White House opposes such a move for fear of being drawn into a conflict.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Irish Doctors Demand Ban on Children Using Mobile Phones

The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) has claimed that young peopleโ€™s social media usage should be treated as a โ€œpublic health emergencyโ€ โ€“ calling for the govt to ban the โ€œoverwhelmingly destructiveโ€ smartphones for children under 16.

โ€œOur young people are exposed to a toxic mix of both extraordinarily harmful content and social media platforms that use features such as infinite scroll to promote more user activity, creating a vicious circle of use which ultimately leads to higher levels of anxiety, depression, loneliness and suicidal tendencies,โ€ the IMO chairman said.

โœจFLASHBACK to OTD in 1983: Israeli PM Menachim Begin Resigns

In 1982, when Israel was bombing Lebanon and committing horrific massacres, Ronald Reagan called Begin and told him he was perpetrating "a holocaust" and had to immediately stop the bombing.

Within 20 minutes, Begin ordered a halt to the onslaught and called Reagan back to confirm the bombing had ceased.

REMINDER: The Biden Admin could similarly force Israel to end its genocidal onslaught in Gaza with just one phone call, since without it, Israelโ€™s war machine cannot operate.
