Addressing Israelis for the first time after the Trump–Iran deal, war criminal Netanyahu announced that Israel will not withdraw from Lebanon, Gaza, or Syria despite the signed agreement.

‘What we did in Gaza, we will do in Lebanon,’ Netanyahu declared.

Through the #European Innovation Council (#EIC), a body of the European Commission created to promote scientific and technological excellence, "#Israel" receives millions of euros that directly fuel its industry of #war and #genocide.

#Drone technologies, #surveillance systems, and artificial intelligence programs applied to population control continue to receive European financial support. These are not “neutral innovations”: they are integral components of the genocidal machinery devastating #Gaza.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, the #EU suspended all scientific and technological cooperation, imposed sanctions, and politically isolated Moscow.

When "Israel' destroys Gaza and accumulates accusations of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, with an international arrest warrant against Prime Minister Netanyahu issued by the International Criminal Court, Brussels maintains and strengthens its cooperation, transferring public funds that end up in Israeli military-industrial companies.

An intolerable double standard: in #Ukraine, international law is invoked to sanction #Russia; in #Palestine, it is trampled to protect "Israel".

...Every euro flowing from Brussels to Tel Aviv becomes active complicity in genocide.

Today in Labor History June 15, 1990: Los Angeles cops attacked 500 janitors who were peacefully demonstrating in the Battle of Century City. The event generated public outrage that resulted in recognition of the workers’ union and spurred the creation of an annual June 15 Justice for Janitors Day. Justice For Janitors includes over 225,000 janitors in cities across the U.S. and Canada. The movement is part of the SEIU. Ken Loach’s wonderful film “Bread and Roses” (2000), was based on the Justice For Janitors struggle. Loach turned down the Turin Film Festival award in 2012 because they had fired their custodial staff for opposing a wage cut. He also was part of the group of artists and writers who called on the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival "to honour calls for an international boycott of Israeli political and cultural institutions, by discontinuing Israeli consulate sponsorship of the LGBT film festival and not co-sponsoring events with the Israeli consulate."

🗨️ Since #pakistan announced the purported #ceasefire "on all fronts," Israeli troops have been destroying houses one after another in southern #lebanon - notably deep within the country's interior, rather than along the border as claimed by Israeli officials - in locations including Khiam, Markaba, Hadatha, Bint Jbeil, Rashaf, Dardara, and Marjayoun

Additionally, there have been drone attacks on #gaza throughout the night JUN-15, as well as dozens of IDF raids in the #westbank #palestine

On 3 June, for the first time, Germany failed to secure a rotating seat on the UN Security Council, falling 23 votes short. The announcement was made by Annalena Baerbock, Germany's former foreign minister and current president of the UN General Assembly.

The vote was a verdict on Germany's standing in the world, and even Berlin knows why.

The representative of the Flotilla in Turkey, Beheshti Ismail Sungur, announced preparations for a new mission to Gaza in the coming months with broader international participation and more ships, aiming to break the Israeli blockade.

He made the remarks during a meeting in Istanbul reviewing the previous mission, which was reportedly attacked by Israel while heading to Gaza, according to Anadolu Agency.

Sungur said Gaza residents need both aid and moral support, adding that diplomatic and legal steps are underway regarding the detention of activists from the last flotilla.
