They aren’t only targeting people and homes. They’re letting in aid, and then they destroy it before it reaches the people who need it. It’s calculated and deliberate. It’s meant to exterminate the civilian population. One of the bakeries that Israel bombed in Nuseirat refugee camp had just received a shipment of flour from UNRWA meant to […]
Diarmuid Breatnach (Reading time: 4 mins.) Israel is justifying its bombardment of Gaza as the right to defend the state, effectively in the right to taking revenge, with which the western states are in agreement. Leaving aside the question of whether bombing homes, bakeries, markets and hospitals constitutes ‘defence’, what should we think about the […]
“As the death toll mounts in Gaza, Biden says ‘I have no notion if Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,’ said Biden
Max Blumenthal replied.. “Joe Biden, who was manipulated by Netanyahu into claiming he saw photos of beheaded Israeli babies that didn’t exist, now says he’s ‘not confident’ the Palestinian death toll is as high as they say it is.”

The death toll from Israeli retaliatory strikes in Gaza has reached 7,028, the health ministry in the Palestinian enclave has announced. Some 2,913 children were among the dead, along with 1,709 women and 397 elderly, it said.
Over the past five decades, the United States has vetoed at least 53 UN Security Council resolutions critical of Israel. – The US’s unequivocal support of Israel has seen it thwart resolutions condemning violence against protesters, illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank built since 1967 and even calls for an investigation into the 1990 killing of seven Palestinian workers by a former Israeli soldier.
It's US taxpayer money that goes every year to equip Israel's war machine to carry out ethnic cleansing in #Palestine. And @JoeBiden, aka Genocide Joe, still wants the Congress to approve an additional $100 billion for #Israel to complete its genocide in #Gaza.@Mondoweisspic.twitter.com/qUIGEhn9TT
By Anon, 25th October The Wall in Bethlehem It’s been 17 days of an emotional rollercoaster of despair, heartache, a sense of helplessness and anger. I have been paralyzed for 17 days, not able to function or focus on anything but the constant updates from Palestine. 17 days of watching a genocide underway executed by […]

Ongoing: Today, Freedom is at the blockade Instro Precision in Kent – the factory making arms industry equipment. We spoke to a worker who had helped organise the action with his union:
“This action is an opening of a new front of workplaces for the struggle for Palestinian liberation. We’re shutting down this arms factory today, which manufactures scopes and targeting equipment for the Israeli military.
This equipment is sold to Israeli; it’s sold to Saudi Arabia and 50 other countries. It’s currently being used to blow up Gaza. We call on workers to shut down their workplaces, shut down their factories until the UK government presses for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.”
Both entrances to the factory have been blockaded since 7 a.m., with 150 people between them, despite heavy rain. No delivery vehicles are being let through. The police had a lacklustre response, with two vehicles with a copper in each, arriving an hour after the blockage began and allowing the protest to continue.
Instro Precision is owned by Israel’s largest weapons firm, Elbit Systems, and specialises in military-grade electro-optical equipment for target location. Instro has been a long-time supplier of the Israeli military regime, with dozens of active and expired military export licenses representing the depth of their collaboration with the Israeli occupation.
As expected he court dismisses the first case against the disgusting cop who infiltrated the Social Movements of Barcelona for 3 years via deceptive sexual relations
La Directa uncovered a National Police agent who was infiltrated for three years in social movements in Catalonia, and anarchist spaces in Madrid and the Basque Country. He has now ‘ disappeared’.

With an argument very similar to that of the Prosecutor’s Office, the 21st District Court of Barcelona rules out that the infiltration operation over three years involved any crime. The lawyers of the prosecution of Irídia and the CGT (Anaarcho-syndicalist Union) will appeal to the Court of Barcelona

In agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office, the court of inquiry 21 of Barcelona has decreed the free dismissal of the criminal complaint in the case of the Spanish undercover police officer D.H.P, uncovered by Directa.
In the resolution, dated October 19, the judge rejects that the crimes of sexual abuse, against moral integrity, revealing secrets and preventing the exercise of civic rights have been committed.
The lawyers for the prosecution of Irídia and the CGT report that it would be “particularly serious if a complaint for crimes of torture and against moral integrity were left uninvestigated” and, for this reason, they will appeal the decision to the Court of Barcelona. Likewise, the ACCIÓ group of the affected area will launch a call soon.
The Spycop had relationships with several women participating in the city’s social movements, one of them for a year, and which served as a bridge to enter the neighborhood Collectives… Among them, La Cinèteka (occupied anarchist social center CSOA) , the tour of the Zapatista movement in Catalonia, the Antirepression Coordination of Sant Andreu barrio, Kasa de la Muntanya, the CGT anarchist trade unión, La Casika CSOA in Móstoles in Madrid, Errekaleor occupied area in Euskadi, etc
The complainants trust that, as has happened in other cases of complaints for torture and ill-treatment, the Barcelona Court will find them right “with respect to the duty to investigate this type of case in an effective and reinforced manner”.
Mireia Salazar, Irídia's lawyer, complains that "minimum due diligence has not been carried out", such as making the complainants testify, evaluating the medical and expert reports and questioning the agent
During his time as an infiltrator, Daniel participated in the demonstrations against the imprisonment of Pablo Hasél in February 2021, in several rallies to avoid evictions, in one of which he confronted a Desokupa (anti-squat Company) worker, and was fined 600 euros. —which he did not pay— for another mobilization.He has also visited self-managed spaces in Madrid y País Vasco Madrid and the Basque Country.
The agent of the Spanish National Police (CNP) infiltrated the social movements of Barcelona for three years and maintained sex-affective relationships with several women as an infiltration strategy. Those affected assured Directa that they would never have established them if they had known he was a police agent, as stated in the complaint.
