‘The Skunk’: Another Israeli weapon for collective punishment

Israeli forces are using a ‘crowd control’ weapon with which they collectively punish Palestinian civilians for daring to protest.

In addition to those killed, hundreds have been injured by live and rubber bullets, tear gas and beatings, but also by a weapon that is lesser known to the global media covering the protests. Many have erroneously referred to it as a water cannon or a sewage truck.

Skunk water is a liquid compound with an overpowering odour that has been described by those who have experienced it as the smell of sewage mixed with rotting corpses. In reality, it is a concoction of chemicals that causes intense nausea, obstructing normal breathing, causing violent gagging and vomiting. The company’s safety sheet also indicates that it can cause skin irritation, eye and abdominal pain. Palestinians have also reported that it causes hair loss.

Leaked documents prove UK funded anti-Damascus groups: Assad's top aide

“All that happened in Syria of destruction, death, and displacement, were because of Western intelligence institutions which, in cooperation with Turkey, trained thousands of terrorists to achieve a single goal which is destroying Syria,” the presidential aide said, adding that the West was dealing with Syria as if it were still under their colonization, ignoring its deep-rooted history and values"

The foreign ministry in Moscow later issued a statement which "emphasized the importance of putting an immediate end to the violence, as well as the inadmissibility of attacks on civilians, regardless of their nationality and religion." The diplomats added that this applied to both "strikes on civilian targets in Israeli and Palestinian territory." Furthermore, they insisted that Israel must maintain "the status quo of Jerusalem's sacred sites" and "immediately" stop all settlement activities in Palestinian areas.

@AliAbunimah spoke too much truth in an interview with German state-funded broadcaster @dwnews, so they took it down then called him an anti-Semite & a terrorist

Something I wrote last year that is relevant now, as Israel pounds Gaza mercilessly.

Why is Israel evil, someone asked. I'll answer *how* Israel is evil.
Well, aside from the genocidal birth of "Israel",

the violent expulsion of 800,000-1 million (I've seen differing numbers) Palestinians from their homeland,

the apartheid system against Palestinians in "Israel",

the abduction and imprisonment of thousands of Palestinian children (yes, children, including under age 10),

the demolition of Palestinian homes,

the violent criminals deemed "settlers" who run amuck murdering Palestinians (including children) and stealing and occupying their homes,

Israel's bombardment of Gaza all the time and full-on every few years or so,

Israel's bombing of Syria at least a 100 times,

Israel's aiding terrorists in Syria (Sedqi al-Maqt documented interactions bt Israeli soldiers and terrorists in Syria: "Maqt began filming the “joint cooperation between,” as he stated, Israeli soldiers and al-Qaeda terrorists near the Quneitra crossing. He was re-arrested by Israeli secret police in February 2015.

Maqt also reported seeing Israeli forces supplying terrorists with weapons and munitions, and conveyed his feeling that the crossing had been turned into an operations room and safe shelter for terrorists attacking Syria, with the support and knowledge of the Israelis and the UN."https://www.mintpressnews.com/welcome-to-hadar-a-village-under-siege-by-syrian-rebels-and-israeli-forces-alike/244569/ )

The fate of Palestinian children bombed by Israeli fighter jets in Gaza is barely an afterthought for the Israeli press.

Powerful piece by @itranslate123

My Child Asks: ‘Can Israel Destroy Our Building if the Power Is Out?’

On Tuesday, Linah asked her question again after my wife and I didn’t answer it the first time: Can they destroy our building if the power is out? I wanted to say: “Yes, little Linah, Israel can still destroy the beautiful al-Jawharah building, or any of our buildings, even in the darkness. Each of our homes is full of tales and stories that must be told. Our homes annoy the Israeli war machine, mock it, haunt it, even in the darkness. It can’t abide their existence. And, with American tax dollars and international immunity, Israel presumably will go on destroying our buildings until there is nothing left.”
But I can’t tell Linah any of this. So I lie, “No, sweetie. They can’t see us in the dark.”

The rise in fission reactions inside abandoned plant


Last week, Anatoly Doroshenko of Kiev’s Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) reported a 40% rise in neutron emissions since 2016. The acceleration in reaction has been described by University of Sheffield professor Neil Hyatt as “embers in a barbecue pit,” and a “reminder to us that it’s not a problem solved, it’s a problem stabilized.”

The current war the occupiers of Palestine wage on the indigenous population has some unusual features. While the conflict was, without doubt, started by the colonial occupiers the course of the recent escalation seems to be managed by the resistance...
