As the world increasingly sees Israel as a colony of murderers and rapists, this serves as a reminder that the systematic rape and torture of Palestinian detainees, especially children, has been a well-documented issue for decades. This article is from 2001.

Already 8 Turkish soldiers died of exposure to methane gas when they searched a tunnel preciously used by PKK. Most likely, the ventilation was blocked and naturally occurring methane gas could accumulate. Result: suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

Israel says its attack on Iran's Evin prison was "symbolic." That makes it a war crime because it was a civilian facility filled with political prisoners, at least 79 of whom Israel killed while injuring dozens. nytimes.com/2025/07/06/wor…

To understand how ordinary people, beyond social media political operatives and agenda-driven opposition voices, view the KRG public employees not receiving their salaries for 67 days now, video vox pops like this one are going viral: For instance, this retired English teacher

Palestinians deserve an international tribunal, reparations, accountability, and liberation above all. Instead, the Western world is fantasizing over how to transform a people’s homeland into their investment bonanza. Settler fantasies are violent in every language. #Gaza #Nakba

US removing HTS from terrorism list is a major blow to justice & will encourage terrorism globally. The message is: if you can make it to power by any means you are welcome to do so. This is another win for Jihadi movement.

Turkish soldiers are using chemical weapons widely and without restraint across the mountains of Kurdistan, while the PKK is in the process of disarming and meeting its obligations in the peace talks. Ironically, a dozen of their own soldiers have been seriously injured, and

600.000 Palestijnen in een kamp opsluiten, waar ze gescreend worden en niet meer uit mogen tenzij ze 'vrijwillig' willen emigreren. Waarnaartoe weet nog niemand, maar het plan ligt klaar. Concentratiekampen dus, en de rest van Gaza wordt dan een tropisch Trumpvakantieresort.
