Her arrest follows the detention of Syrian-British journalist Richard Medhurst in London and Telegram founder Pavel Durov in Paris | British human rights activist and social media influencer Sarah Wilkinson was arrested by UK police on 29 August, reportedly over “content she posted online.”

“The police came to her house just before 7.30am. [Twelve] of them in total, some of them in plain clothes from the counter-terrorism police. They said she was under arrest for ‘content that she has posted online.’ Her house is being raided, and they have seized all her electronic devices," Jack Wilkinson is quoted as saying by the social media account Suppressed News.

“The pro-genocide UK regime has arrested [MENAUncensored's] roving reporter and Human Rights Activist Sarah Wilkinson for supporting the Palestinian resistance and relaying what is really happening in Gaza and the West Bank to the world,” MENA Uncensored announced via social media, alleging Wilkinson was accused of supporting “terrorism.”

The Anglo-American colonial project in Palestine has launched another war to remove the indigenous population from its land.

💬 Israel launches major operation in West Bank; Palestinian officials say 9 killed — Washington Post TEL AVIV — Israel launched a major operation in multiple cities in the West Bank on Wednesday involving hundreds of troops. ● The troops were sent in with air support and bulldozers, according to an Israeli military official speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive military operation. Eyewitnesses cited drones scanning the skies and armored personnel carriers carrying troops on the ground. ● The Israel Defense Forces and Shin Bet, the country’s internal security service, announced in a brief joint statement they were launching a counterterrorism operation in Jenin and Tulkarm. Operations were also reported in al-Fara’a refugee camp, near Tubas. At least nine Palestinians have been killed since midnight, the Health Ministry in Ramallah said. Seven were taken to a hospital in Tubas and two to a hospital in Jenin, it said.

In the Gaza strip the colonial army has pushed the 2 million plus surviving Palestinians into an area of less than 15 square kilometer. It continues bombing them. Any building beyond has ben raised. The obvious aim there is to push the whole population into Egypt's Sinai desert and to provide their land to illegal settlers. A similar project has now started in the West Bank. The Zionists plan to raze it to then push its Palestinian population across the river into Jordan.

The US has continued to support Israel, despite the Gaza health ministry reporting that more than 40,000 people in the region have been killed since the conflict first began in October. | More than 50,000 tons of armaments have been given to the US by Israel since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip since last October, the Defense Ministry said on Monday. This includes, “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear and medical equipment,” the ministry said. According to a report from The Times of Israel, the deliveries are “crucial for sustaining the Israeli Defense Force’s (IDF) operational capabilities during the ongoing war.”

👉 Despite the substantial death toll of more than 40,000 people who have been slaughtered in Palestine, the US has been supplying Israel non-stop since the war between the IDF and Hamas first broke out in October. The US has enacted legislation providing tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel, and this month the US approved another $20 billion in arms sales to Israel.

The Israeli army launched a sudden and completely unexplained military operation in northern West Bank, with large-scale forces, not seen in years or decades | No explanation has been given by Israel for this latest military action. (NEW: Saraya Al-Quds, Al-Qassam Brigades, and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin and Tulkarm have declared their readiness to confront the Israeli invasion in the West Bank, with clashes currently ongoing.) Saraya Al-Quds fighters have detonated explosives targeting Israeli armored vehicles in Jenin. Palestinian fighters are engaged in fierce clashes with Israeli forces in Burqin and are showering the occupation forces with volleys of bullets, achieving direct hits.

For four days, delegates, lobbyists, influencers, and Democratic Party members convened in the US city of Chicago for the Democratic National Convention (DNC), which is held every election year. | Hosted by the United Center and the McCormick Place, as well as “after-parties” in undisclosed locations throughout the city, this year’s DNC was overshadowed by the Democratic Party’s complicity in the Gaza genocide, which was clearly demonstrated by Kamala Harris’ statements. [...] For over a year after the announcement of the DNC location and date, sitting president Joe Biden insisted that he would be the nominee and would oversee the DNC and fight against Donald Trump in the next election. However, the ailing president announced that he would not run on July 21 - a month before the DNC. [...] In his announcement, Biden endorsed Harris for president. Typically, nominees within both major parties - Democratic or Republican - must win in the primary election leading up to the general election. This time around, Biden stepped down and appointed his successor - raising eyebrows around the legitimacy of Harris and the so-called democratic process in the United States itself.

M. Reza Behnam | Despite the countless atrocities, assassinations and violations of humanitarian and international law, American politicians and the corporate media recite ad infinitum the accepted talking point that Israel has a “right to defend itself.” From their distorted perspective, only the aggressor deserves that prerogative. | Israel’s claim to self-defense is never questioned. Although it has one of the strongest modern militaries (581 aircraft, including F-15, F-16 and advanced stealth F-35 fighter jets), possesses the latest air defense systems, stockpiles 400 nuclear weapons with delivery systems, and has the United States, the world’s largest military power, standing ready to protect it, we are to believe that Israel is in physical danger. ■ On the other hand, the Palestinians, most in need of defense, are denied that right. They are told to accept colonized lives in the Gaza concentration camp, to accept marginalization, injustice and humiliation forever; that they have no right to resist the Israeli apartheid regime. And the United States and its Western proxies threaten the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon and others in the Palestinian Resistance for daring to challenge Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

Israel has ORDERED the crypto-exchange "Binance" to SEIZE the crypto-currencies of all Palestinians pursuant to Israeli Terrorism Law | Israel did this by declaring the Dubai Exchange Company in the Gaza Strip, which is the only lawful crypto-currency entity allowed to operate in the Gaza Strip, to be a "terrorist organization." ● All Palestinians were required to use the Dubai Exchange Company for all their crypto-currency transactions. Since the Israeli government declared the Dubai Exchange itself to be a "terrorist organization" all the money transferred by or through that company is then considered to be the property of the "terrorist organization" and thus subject to being seized! Palestinians have APPEALED this mass seizure. Those Appeals are ALL being denied.

With growing concern, Zionist economists are warning officials in Tel Aviv that if the Gaza war does not end by 2025, the regime's economic situation will worsen. | According to the US media, the current state of the Israeli regime is the result of the high costs that this regime has incurred during the ongoing war in Gaza. ● Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu tried to allay the fears of Zionist experts by saying that the economic damage is short-term and temporary, but contrary to his claims, the war in Gaza has harmed thousands of small businesses and international trust in Israel's economy. ● Yacov Sheinin, an Israeli economist, said the total cost of the war could amount to $120 billion, or 20% of the country’s gross domestic product, a broad measure of economic activity. The Israeli regime's Finance Ministry this month said the country’s deficit over the last 12 months has risen to over 8% of GDP, far exceeding the 6.6% deficit-to-GDP ratio the ministry projected for 2024. In 2023, Israel’s budget deficit was roughly 4% of its GDP.

Ilana Mercer | The totem words and adjectives we use to describe Israel, a perverse and pornographically murderous society, fail. One day flows into the next, each indistinguishable in the level of sadistic torture and carnage dreamed up by the IDF Einsatzgruppen. | The crimes of genocide, the making and mass-marketing of online snuff films featuring murdered Palestinians, and the commission of extra-judicial assassination the globe over—these Israel has already de facto legalized in what passes for law in that thugocracy. By the Middle East Monitor’s telling,

💬 “A Gaza detainee allegedly sexually abused by Israeli soldiers at Sde Teiman … suffered ‘a ruptured bowel, a severe injury to his anus, lung damage and broken ribs’ as a result of the immense torture he was subjected to by Israeli occupation soldiers. …One of the nine Israeli soldiers arrested for abusing him was released without charge. Deliberations about the other eight are continuing.”

The Israeli occupation forces continue to commit massacres throughout the night, targeting Palestinians in their homes and throughout the Strip. | Palestinian news sources in the Gaza Strip reported that 11 Palestinians, including children, have been killed, while several others were injured following an airstrike by the Israeli occupation forces on a residential house in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip. The attack was part of a series of airstrikes on various areas of the Strip which resulted in further casualties. ● In Jabalia's Tal al-Zaatar, several Palestinians, including women and children, were also either killed or injured in an Israeli occupation airstrike on an apartment. ● In the central region of the Strip, Israeli occupation warplanes conducted four airstrikes on various locations east of Deir al-Balah, near Salah al-Din Street.

At least 92,981 Palestinians injured in Israeli onslaught since Oct. 7, 2023, Health Ministry says | At least 50 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, pushing up the overall death toll since last Oct. 7 to 40,223, the Health Ministry in the war-torn enclave said on Wednesday. A ministry statement added that some 92,981 others have been injured in the ongoing assault.

💬 “Israeli forces killed 50 people and injured 124 others in four ‘massacres’ of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said. “Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Israel has continued its brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023 following a Hamas attack despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire. Over 10 months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.

Ivan Kesic | More than two weeks after the assassination of senior Axis of Resistance leaders in two separate attacks in Tehran and Beirut, preparations are underway to avenge their blood with a retaliatory military operation. | The exact nature and timing of the military operation is shrouded in mystery, but it is clear that it is imminent, as confirmed by sources to the Press TV website. ■ While Tel Aviv has been identified as one of the possible targets of the planned retaliatory operation, other potential targets are located in Haifa, a strategic city in the north of the occupied Palestinian territories. ■ Press TV website in a previous analysis reported about political, military, and intelligence installations in Tel Aviv as potential targets due to their direct involvement in the terrorist attacks in Tehran and Beirut. ■ Beyond Tel Aviv, Haifa is home to several important military bases, regime headquarters, and strategic military industries, making it a significant target of the imminent retaliation. ■ The credibility of Haifa sites as potential targets has been supported by recent reports in Israeli media outlets such as Haaretz and Yedioth Ahronoth, and more notably, in a speech by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kan'ani says that the US's all-out support for Israel is an absolute disgrace and makes Washington liable for prosecution, which can be pursued through legal channels. |

💬 “The Zionist regime is a racist terrorist regime that has been engaged in gross and systematic violations of the basic rights of the Palestinian people and perpetrating crimes against humanity for several decades with the full support from the West, especially the United States, the senior Iranian diplomat wrote in a post on his X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday.

The Israeli regime has killed 40,000 innocent Palestinian people, including some 15,000 children, and injured more than 100,000 people in the Gaza Strip during its genocidal war since October last year, according to Kan'ani. [...] He said the US's all-out support for Israel is an absolute disgrace and makes Washington liable for prosecution, which can be pursued through legal channels.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
