'Blatant and Premeditated Attack on Press Freedom': Israel Assassinates Five Gaza Journalists

from Common Dreams

The Israeli military on Sunday killed five Al Jazeera journalists with an airstrike on a press tent in Gaza City, a massacre that the media network decried as "yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom."

Reporters Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa were killed in the Israeli strike. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it was intentionally targeting al-Sharif, claiming he was "the head of a Hamas terrorist cell."

Press freedom organizations, United Nations experts, and human rights groups have denounced such assertions as part of a smear campaign aimed at justifying al-Sharif's assassination. Last month, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said it was "gravely worried" about al-Sharif's safety, noting that the IDF ramped up its false attacks after "the journalist cried on air while reporting on starvation in Gaza."...

Israeli aircraft also targeted Al-Falah School in al-Zaytoun, wounding several people.

Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, an Israeli drone strike targeted a residential home in Khan Younis, killing seven people...

CDC union says vaccine misinformation put staff at risk after Atlanta shooting

(So here we go. Time to shutter any questions about their next untested mandated vaccine jabs because... some crazy (read as 'patsy') might do something untoward. Yeah, that's a GREAT reason to erase the 1st fucking amendment to the constitution don't you think? That's right, shut up and take the jabs we tell you to take cus... some employee of the CDC might get hurt... while you will definitely stand a chance of having an adverse reaction. It's called informed consent people and folks have a right to do their own research and formulate their own opinions on the matter and then share that information with others. But not according to these people. Nope. Fuck you. Some guy might take pot shots at our window so just shut up and take the experimental jabs and live with the results. That MAHA America boys and girls at it's finest.)

from the Guardian

A union representing US Centers for Disease Control employees has demanded that the federal government condemn vaccine misinformation after a man who evidently blamed the Covid-19 vaccination for making him depressed and suicidal aimed gunfire Friday at the CDC’s headquarters in Atlanta.

The 30-year-old shooting suspect, who killed a police officer and died during the attack, had also tried to get into the CDC’s headquarters – but he was stopped by guards before driving to a pharmacy across the street and opening fire, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press on Saturday.

The CDC workers’ union said the deadly violence on Friday was not random and “compounds months of mistreatment, neglect, and vilification that CDC staff have endured”. It said vaccine misinformation had put scientists at risk...

Israel kills Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza

from RT

At least five Al Jazeera staff members have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a journalist camp in Gaza. Among the victims was Anas al-Sharif, a well-known correspondent who has been recognized for his reporting on the local humanitarian crisis. 

The attack occurred on Sunday evening, when the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck a tent outside the main gate of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza. The Qatar-based media outlet immediately confirmed that four of its journalists - al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher, and Mohammed Noufal - had been found dead. It later added that cameraman Moamen Aliwa was also among the victims, along with two others, bringing the death toll to seven.

Al-Sharif’s last post on X featured a video of Israeli strikes hitting Gaza City. Posted moments before he was killed, the missive described the “relentless bombardment” by Israeli warplanes...

Israel’s military acknowledged it had targeted al-Sharif, claiming he was the head of a Hamas “terrorist cell” operating under the guise of a reporter...

Australia to recognise Palestinian statehood; New Zealand may follow

from al Jazeera

Australia will recognise a Palestinian state in September, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced, drawing condemnation from Israel.

Albanese said on Monday that his government would formally announce the move when the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meets in New York.

“A two-state solution is humanity’s best hope to break the cycle of violence in the Middle East and to bring an end to the conflict, suffering and starvation in Gaza,” Albanese said at a news conference in Canberra.

Australia’s announcement comes as Canada, France and the United Kingdom are also preparing to formally recognise Palestine at the meeting next month, joining the vast majority of UN member states that already do so.

Israeli Ambassador to Australia Amir Maimon said recognition of a Palestinian state will do nothing to end the war in Gaza, telling the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC): “We reject the recognition, unilateral recognition.”

Israeli President Isaac Herzog also slammed the Australian announcement as a reward for Hamas for its October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel, repeating the Israeli government’s stance on all recognition announcements thus far.

This latest recognition comes about a week after hundreds of thousands of Australians marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge to protest Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip...

Australia to recognize Palestinian state at UN General Assembly in September: PM

from PressTV

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced that the government will recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly next month, aligning with similar actions taken by the United Kingdom, France, and Canada. 

At a press conference following a cabinet meeting in Canberra on Monday, Albanese said Australia would work with the international community to make recognition a reality.

“Australia will recognize the state of Palestine. Australia will recognize the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own,” he said.

For his part, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said it had been more than 77 years since the world promised a Palestinian state.

“In the nearly two years since October 7, we have been working with the international community on breaking the cycle of violence,” she said.

“We can't keep waiting for the end of a peace process that has ground to a halt,” Wong pointed out.

Last week, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told Albanese that Australia could play an “important” role as a diplomatic middle power by recognizing Palestine. 

Australia's decision aligns with recognition pledges from nations such as France, Canada, and the United Kingdom in recent weeks...

CDC shooting suspect distrusted vaccines, neighbor says

from Shaddi Abusaid

In the year leading up to Friday afternoon’s shooting at the CDC, Patrick Joseph White spoke increasingly with a neighbor about his distrust of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The 30-year-old was known as a handyman of sorts in his quiet west Cobb neighborhood, regularly mowing lawns, trimming shrubs and walking dogs for his neighbors. 

But in recent months, something seemed to change, said Nancy Hoalst, who lives directly across the street from White’s family.

She said White regularly brought up his distrust of vaccines, even during conversations that were entirely unrelated.

“He was very unsettled and he very deeply believed that vaccines hurt him and were hurting other people.” Hoalst said. 

“He emphatically believed that.”

Hoalst, who has lived in the neighborhood about five years, said she always knew White to be friendly. 

In the fall, he would take it upon himself to blow the leaves off her lawn and driveway ahead of Halloween and the influx of trick-or-treaters.

“He seemed like a good guy,” she said. “He would volunteer to walk dogs. He did good things.”

Atlanta CDC gunman believed Covid vaccine made him suicidal, official says

 (So... RFK Jr. orders a halt to funding for mRNA 'vaccine' development... and IMMEDIATELY afterward... a guy named WHITE shoots up the CDC (without actually killing anyone at the CDC) while killing a BLACK officer... all because he is a VACCINE TRUTHER?)

(Hmmmmm.....)

(Has anyone else noticed the uptick in mass shooting events since TrumpyBear came back to D.C.?) 

(the source for this important part of the story, he was an anti-vaxxer, is listed as Atlanta Journal. When going there, they cite CNN and New York Times... however...)

'The CDC shooter blamed his health ailments on the COVID-19 vaccine, The New York Times and CNN reported, each quoting an unnamed official speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the ongoing investigation. ' AJC 

(That's right folks... secret sources say...) 

from The Guardian

A Georgia man who opened fire on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta on Friday, shooting dozens of rounds into four buildings and killing a police officer, had blamed a Covid-19 vaccine for making him depressed and suicidal, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press on Saturday.

The 30-year-old gunman, identified by the Georgia bureau of investigation as Patrick Joseph White, tried to get into the CDC’s headquarters but was stopped by guards before driving to a CVS across the street and opening fire, the official said. White died during Friday’s violence.

The suspect’s father contacted police and said his son was upset about the death of his dog, and had also become fixated on the Covid-19 vaccine, an official said.

One of White’s neighbors told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “He very deeply believed that vaccines hurt him and were hurting other people.”

The police officer who was shot to death in a confrontation with a gunman was identified as 33-year-old David Rose – a husband and father of two daughters who had a son on the way.

Rose, who joined the DeKalb county police force in September of last year and previously served in the US marines, had responded to reports of gunfire near the CDC campus. He was later rushed to the Emory University hospital, where he died of his injuries.

 

Under pressure, TikTok puts a Zionist in charge of censoring pro-Palestine content

from PressTV

Under pressure from the Zionist lobby and fearing US ban, social media platform TikTok recently appointed an American Zionist to head its “hate policy” department, a move widely seen as a step toward censoring any content critical of the genocidal regime in Tel Aviv.

Erica Mindel’s appointment as TikTok’s Public Policy Manager for Hate Speech, announced in July 2025, has sparked significant criticism and controversy.

The role, which entails shaping the social media platform’s hate speech policies with a stated focus on “combating antisemitism,” has come under scrutiny due to her background, including prior service in the Israeli military (IOF) and work with the US State Department.

Mindel, a self-described “proud American Jew,” was hired following pressure from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a notorious Zionist lobby group in the US, after a 2023 meeting.

Her responsibilities include developing policies in line with global regulations and addressing antisemitic content. She is based in New York City and is reported to earn an estimated £280,000 annually...
