“Denial is an integral part of genocide and includes the secret planning of genocide, propaganda while the genocide is going on, and destruction of evidence of mass killings.”

"Exclusive: Palestine Action Lawyer Rajiv Menon Breaks Silence on Facing Contempt Charges in U.K.
(video)
A prominent human rights lawyer in the United Kingdom has been charged with criminal contempt for his closing speech in the trial of his client, Charlotte “Lottie” Head, one of four Palestine Action activists who were sentenced as terrorists over their involvement in a 2024 protest and raid on an Israeli weapons factory. Their sentencing marked the first time a British judge issued terrorism sentencing enhancements on people who were not actually convicted of terrorism. An additional 21 currently jailed Palestine Action protesters could face similar sentences, which carry multiyear prison terms.

The charges against Rajiv Menon are similarly unprecedented in British legal history. He is accused of encouraging a jury to acquit Head according to their conscience. Menon denies this accusation and says he was simply informing the jury of a prior legal case. He adds that, along with the U.K. government’s ban on Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws, the case against him is intended to have a “chilling effect” against pro-Palestine protest, and carries “serious constitutional implications.”"

"It isn't easy to visit the families of Qusra, in the northern West Bank, whose homes have been besieged by settlers since last week. Instead of chasing away the settlers, the IDF extracted up to 20 Palestinian families, then let some back, but not all. Those who returned found their homes trashed and designated a closed military zone, still under IDF control."

An occupation killer drone target assassinated Mohannad Saeda while he was walking near the western roundabout in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip.

Approximately 1300 Palestinians have been martyred in Gaza since the US brokered ceasefire, which US President Trump personally guaranteed.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese told Al Jazeera that the violence in Qusra must be viewed within Israel’s decades-long occupation and “total impunity” toward Palestinians, warning that the situation has reached “a climax.”

She stresses that the “occupation is illegal” and that Palestinians remain entitled to protection under international law, including safeguards against disproportionate military action.

Albanese added that “Israel has outsourced coercion to the settlers” and is “advancing violently the ethnic cleansing of Palestine through the settlers,” condemning the international community as “incredible and utterly shameful” for allowing it to continue.

Israeli settlers have been besieging three Palestinian homes in the village of Qusra in the occupied West Bank for a week, trapping residents inside and cutting off their water and power supplies.
