The Gaza Government Media Office holds both “Israel” and the US administration responsible, pointing out that the Israeli occupation army launched a deliberate attack on the school
After “Israel” committed a horrendous massacre during the early hours of Saturday, nothing remained of the scene but bloodied body bags and devastation.
At least 100 Palestinians were killed in the Al-Tabieen school in Gaza City, and dozens more were injured.

As Palestinians were performing the morning prayers, Israeli warplanes struck the mosque with three airstrikes, leaving behind a hellish scene of unrecognized bodies and mass destruction.
Al-Tabieen comprises a religious school and mosque in Gaza City.
The Government Media Office in Gaza stated that “due to the enormity of the massacre and the rising number of victims, medical and civil defense teams have not yet been able to retrieve all the bodies.”
AFP reported body parts being strewn around the ruins and charred, bloodied bodies slumped in the wreckage of the two-story complex.
The Media Office held both “Israel” and the US administration responsible, pointing out that the Israeli occupation army launched a deliberate attack on the school, where many displaced individuals who had sought refuge were performing morning prayers, which led to a massive number of martyrs.
More than 300 people were present at the time of the Israeli bombing, the Office added.
It condemned this “horrific massacre in the strongest terms and [called] on the entire world to condemn it.” It also demanded that the international community and international organizations put pressure on the occupation to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
According to an AFP assessment, at least 14 schools housing Gaza’s displaced have been targeted since July 6, killing over 280 people.
Abu Wassim, a neighboring resident who arrived to investigate the situation, expressed that “peaceful people — women, children, and youths — were performing the Fajr prayer as usual when suddenly a missile hit them.”

At least two hundred fascists faced us tonight, and I would estimate three hundred antifascists were present.
The Stand Up Against Racism counter-demo began at 6pm, and there was already a notable fash presence, despite their own demo (riot) not being due to start until 7pm.
UK riots: Plymouth protest turns ‘violent’
The police presence was light, and a group of 30 or so anarchists patrolled the outskirts of the counter-demo, and were needed to forcibly remove a number of fash that attempted to infiltrate the counter demo to attack/heckle speakers.
As the clock ticked towards 7, more and more police vehicles began to surround us, but worryingly, we seemed to have small groups of fash on all sides of us, just standing around, seemingly unnoticed by the police.
Just before 7, it became apparent there was a very large fascist presence moving south towards us on Armada way. They were stopped by a line of police, and chanting began from both sides. As far as I could tell, they were completely drowned out by our side.
Towards 8pm, the lead fash elements began to try and break clear of the police, making their way along Royal Parade, the small black bloc group followed them – and found ourselves directly face to face with punches being thrown for a few moments, until the police managed to get back in between us again.
A stand off then ensued on the corner of Whimple Street, and before long we found ourselves under a barrage of beer cans, bottles, and rocks the size of my hand.
Some time later, the fash moved to the opposite end of Armada Way, towards the Theatre Royal, attempting to get around the police to get at us again. We continued to shadow them, and again had to meet them head on before the police could separate us.
A giant anarchist continually put himself in the firing line in front of the counter-protest, leading hand to hand fighting whenever the fascists broke through the police – he took punches from multiple people and carried on battling despite blood dripping from his nose.

The fash then began chucking more rocks and flares at us, but continued to be drowned out by our chanting.
At around 9pm, the stewards decided to call an end to the counter protest, leaving those of us that remained heavily outnumbered and under a barrage of missiles, and probably in danger of being overwhelmed without the police presence.
Multiple people surrounding me took blows from rocks and coins thrown from the north side of Royal Parade, and hilariously, the fash brought out some fireworks – and hit themselves with them far more than they hit us.
Towards 10pm, the police forced the fash back up Armada Way, putting them out of projectile range. By half 10, we couldn’t see them, and the remaining anti-fascist group began to thin out.
We held the square throughout, and the anarchist contingent was at the front ready to face them for the duration.

Both the Axis of Resistance and Christian Orthodox Russia need to step up the game. Radically. The Forever Wars go full War OF Terror
The stunning confirmation came directly from Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov, during a quite revealing interview on Rossiya TV. Ryabkov, extremely competent, is also the leading Russian sherpa for BRICS+, preparing the summit next October in Kazan.
Essentially, Russian intel discovered that Kiev intel was setting up the joint assassination of President Putin and Defense Minister Belousov during the Navy Day parade late last month in St. Petersburg.

Ryabkov was very cautious – as this is a matter of national security, involving several top agencies. When asked directly whether “an action was being prepared at the Main Naval Parade” against Putin, Ryabkov was not explicit: he only acknowledged the presence of “a certain connection with this kind of event” – according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Ryabkov called this provocation being prepared by Kiev a “very alarming” episode, which was planned in connection “with our internal events in order to inflict maximum damage and obtain the maximum media effect they need.”
What’s intriguing is how the plot line developed.
Normally we would have Bortnikov (FSB) or Patrushev (special adviser to Putin) picking up the phone and calling the CIA’s Burns to ask for a serious explanation.

In this case it was much more hardcore. Belousov himself called the head of the Pentagon, weapons peddler Lloyd “Raytheon” Austin, and told him in no uncertain terms to tighten the leash on the Kiev goons – or else.
Now imagine how the transcript of the blunt Russian message would read.
As Andrei Martyanov remarked, Belousov must have detailed how Kiev would simply cease to exist – and in due time, “so would D.C.” if the Americans decided to authorize the hit.

The repercussions are well known: not only did the rage explode in the vicinity of the university with an impressive and spontaneous street outburst, but the echo of that revolt spread to various parts of French territory.
Once the fuse was lit, an event called May ’68 gained momentum at that moment to shake the prevailing status quo and change countless things.
That same Friday, May 3, in the city of Lyon, a high school student, with no prior political implications, but attentive to the echoes coming from Paris, suddenly discovered anarchism and threw herself body and soul into the agitation promoted by the CALs (“ Committees d’Action Licéens” – Action Committee of Institutes -).
Born in 1951, Claire was then 17 years old, a minor. She has recounted that intense experience in a beautiful text titled “Un Mayo Menor” , written 20 years after May 1968, translated and published by La Linterna Sorda in the book Esplendor en la noche .

This is a clear example, one more, that certain events suddenly and radically transform people, leaving a mark so deep that it is maintained throughout a lifetime.
From that moment, dreams of freedom and solidarity, punctuated by outbursts of rage against the indignity of the established system, accompanied Claire to her deathbed on Tuesday, August 6 in Paris.From that moment, dreams of freedom and solidarity, punctuated by outbursts of rage against the indignity of the established system, accompanied Claire to her deathbed on Tuesday, August 6 in Paris.
