Israel: ‘We Were Ordered to Kill’: The 1967 Nakba That Israelis Don’t Know About! (16.6.2026)

The expulsion of the three Palestinian villages in the Latrun area – Imwas, Bayt Nuba, and Yalo – with their 8,000 residents, was one of the most prominent expulsions during the war. So too was the destruction of the villages immediately afterward and the establishment of Canada Park by the Jewish National Fund in 1971.

The villages were captured without resistance on the second day of the war, and hours later, residents were ordered to evacuate to Ramallah. Israel claimed that a significant portion of the structures in the villages were destroyed during the battles that took place there. This was a false claim.

Ze’ev Bloch, a Six-Day War veteran and a former member of Kibbutz Nahshon, located near the three expelled villages, told Akevot Institute researchers that “no one leaves their home willingly. There’s no debate about that. Certainly, certainly they were expelled. War. There are those who expel them, there are those who leave, there are those who survive, and there are those who die.”

Illegal child labour persists in the U.S. as legal protections backslide

US: Illegal Child Labour Persists in the US as Legal Protections Backslide! (7.6.2026)

The report revealed that in the U.S., children as young as 11 to 13 years old were employed for long hours, sometimes operating dangerous equipment and working in prohibited occupations.

“On the kill floors of meat processing plants, children are using harsh chemicals to clean back saws, head splitters, brisket saws, jaw pullers, meat bandsaws, and neck clippers. In sawmills, children are operating chop saws, rip saws, and powered wood processing machines. Teens are hauling and stacking wood for processing by automated machinery. Children are operating power driven lifts to move pallets. In poultry processing plants, children are using sharp knives to debone chickens. In construction, minors are working on roofs and operating power-driven woodworking machines. Over the last two years, several children have been seriously injured, and some have been killed while at work,” the reported unveiled.

The U.S., which fancies itself a “human rights defender” and is quick to point fingers at other nations over human rights violations, is the only one among the 193 UN member states that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

UN report accuses Israeli forces of rape and sexual abuse against Palestinian detainees

UN: Report Accuses Israeli Forces of Rape and Sexual Abuse Against Palestinian Detainees! (4.6.2026)

The report stated that rape and gang rape, in some cases repeatedly, affected nine victims, most of them from Gaza.

It attributed responsibility for the violations to members of the Israeli army and security services, including the Israeli military, the Israel Prison Service and special police units.

According to the report, abuses mainly occurred during detention and interrogation at several locations, including the Sde Teiman military camp and Etzion detention center, as well as prisons including Megiddo, Ofer, Ramla, Hasharon, Shatta, Nafha and Damon, as well as the Gush Etzion police station.

The report also documented abuses committed at military checkpoints and during Israeli military incursions in the occupied Palestinian territory, noting that journalists and human rights defenders were among the victims.

It said most cases involved multiple forms of sexual violence simultaneously, while some abuses were photographed or recorded on video, including one rape case.

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: How the Obama Administration & CIA Orchestrated the 2014 Maidan Coup! (31.5.2026)

The Staggering Human Cost: While the media ignores it, Pete cites hacked databases showing that roughly 1.25 million Ukrainian soldiers have been killed. He notes that Ukraine has been losing approximately 1,000 men a day throughout 2025 in what has become a brutal war of attraction.

8 Years of Slaughter: Between 2014 and 2021, over 14,000 ethnic Russian civilians were killed by their own government’s artillery and drones. Pete argues that the Ukrainian regime forfeited its rights to those regions by outlawing the Russian language and the Orthodox Church, effectively conducting an ethnic cleansing campaign that forced Russia to intervene to “save a friend being mugged”.

Surrey: Visiting Farnham Museum! (27.5.2026)

These former workers adopted the mannerisms, culture, and dress of their social betters (the “aristocracy”) and were even able to “purchase” an education for their children. This new bourgeoisie (the “Merchants”) were even able to stand for election in Parliament. After purchasing weapons and raising armies – the bourgeoisie eventually seized control of the means of production (following the English Civil Wars). They now comprise one of the most conservative strands in UK society – and certainly maintain this air of elitism in Farnham. A local book-dealer even tried to sell me Das Kapital Vols I, II, & III (printed in the USSR in hardback) for £100 – claiming they were “rare”. In fact, a full set is usually four volumes and I often find them on the bottom shelves of old book-shops – usually attracting dust – as no one cares for their content. I do collect them and usually spend around £5 per copy. Imagine that – a bookseller in Farnham attempted to reduce Marx’s critique of capitalism to yet another vehicle of that capitalism! But that is the way capitalism works and is exactly how Farnham has attracted its wealth and conservativism. Florence Nightingale gets a mention – Gee trained as a Midwife at St Thomas Hospital (London) – which maintains a Museum recording the life of Florence Nightingale. Indeed, Gee is designated as a “Florence Nightingale Midwife”.
