Israel’s official Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, has condemned the installation of new plaques in Poland at the site of the Jedwabne pogrom, during which hundreds of Jews were burned alive in World War Two.

Bullets: - Western sanctions against oil producers in Russia and Europe have simply re-routed global trade routes. - Energy shipments from Russia to the European Union have instead been snapped up by India, Turkiye, and Africa. - Iran, though under heavy sanctions, produces more oil today that at any time in over 40 years, with $78 billion in export sales, mostly to China. - Russia and Iran are some of the world's lowest-cost oil producers in the world, and can book profits even as prices fall. - In the United States, drilling companies are shutting down oil rigs and shelving plans for new exploration. Energy companies cannot profitably drill new wells in North America, unless oil prices maintain long-term pricing far above $60 per barrel. - Demand destruction is also being felt across the world, as Chinese production of new energy vehicles is a hit to future gasoline sales.

New satellite images reveal significant damage to the U.S. Al-Udeid air base in Qatar following Iran's retaliatory strikes last month.

Polish prosecutors have launched an investigation into far-right leader Grzegorz Braun after he declared the gas chambers at Auschwitz to be “fake” and said it is a “fact” that Jews have committed ritual slaughter of Christians. Denial of Nazi crimes is an offence in Poland that carries a jail sentence of up to three years.

The Spanish government authorizes the acquisition of Israeli defense technology from Elbit Systems with an initial funding of 350 million euros.

During the 12-day war between the U.S, Israel, and Iran, Western media relied heavily upon a U.S.-based “human rights organization” when it came to counting the dead from Israeli strikes, and classifying them as either civilian or military casualties.

It appears that in Israel they believe that it's sufficient to attach the label "humanitarian" to convert every act into a legitimate one. Just like the term "the most moral army in the world", which is no longer connected to what IDF soldiers are doing, they're now trying to present a concentration camp to be used for the transfer of population as the most moral one in the world.

More than 20 countries are convening in Bogota next week to declare “concrete measures against Israel’s violations of international law”, diplomats told Middle East Eye.

The warning was direct, blunt and left no room for doubt. "We expect all ICC actions against the United States and our ally Israel – that is, all investigations and all arrest warrants – to be terminated," said Reed Rubinstein, legal adviser at the US State Department, before delegates of the 125 member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday, July 8, at a meeting at United Nations headquarters in New York from July 7 to 9.

The Eternity C and Magic Seas were part of commercial fleets whose sister vessels have made calls to Israeli ports over the past year.

Bullets: - China is the world leader in the development and deployment of hypersonic missile systems. - Russia and Iran also have successfully built and recently used hypersonic platforms in conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. - The United States is racing to close the gap, and hopes to build systems for some Army units next year. - But the problem is that no air defense platforms can intercept inbound hypersonic munitions. - This is the reality that confronts career politicians and military officers in Western countries: an armed conflict against any country with hypersonic missiles invites catastrophic losses to ground bases and naval fleet assets. - Those risks will be deemed unacceptably high, and in the event of potential conflict in the Western Pacific or Persian Gulf will likely result in disengagement and withdrawal of American naval forces.

This remains relevant as Ukraine has never apologized for these atrocities, continues to reject that these attacks constituted "genocide," and has criticized Poland for establishing July 11 as a day for commemorating the victims. And of course, it still uses the same slogans ("Slava Ukraini"), the same symbols (such as the red and black flag), and reveres Stepan Bandera (who was the head of the OUN, which in turn founded the UPA which carried out these attacks).

Iran has taken possession of Chinese surface-to-air missile batteries as Tehran rapidly moves to rebuild defensives destroyed by Israel during their recent 12-day conflict, sources have told Middle East Eye.

Myanmar is ruled by an illegitimate military junta which literally seized power by simply jailing its democratically elected leader in 2021 and declaring "no more democracy". Rebel forces have been fighting against the junta since. In the northernmost state of Kachin, China is putting pressure on a rebel group to stop fighting the junta. China wants access to the region's heavy rare earth minerals. Unrest and instability make that more difficult.

July 8 (Reuters) - The global supply of heavy rare earths hinges in part on the outcome of a months-long battle between a rebel army and the Chinese-backed military junta in the hills of northern Myanmar.

Today the Israeli death and rape-cult that has actually been engaged in systematic pedophilic gang-rape of Palestinian children, girls, boys, women and men is going to desperately try to re-launch the genocidal atrocity propaganda rape hoax.

Gives me hope that the Ukrainian people are starting to see through the empire's lies

One Lebanese citizen embraced martyrdom after an Israeli drone raided his (Rapid) car with two missiles in Deir Kifa town, South Lebanon.

Six Israeli soldiers were killed, and 10 others were injured in a complex ambush carried out by the Palestinian resistance late Monday in northern Gaza, according to Zionist media outlets which underlined the loss of a soldier as well.

Ukrainian frontlines are pushed by steady but significant advances by Russian forces across multiple directions, with Ukrainian sources acknowledging territorial losses of approximately 170 square kilometers per week. This consistent retreat reflects not just localized setbacks but a broader pattern of systemic pressure, forcing Ukrainian troops to cede ground, deplete reserves, and reorganize under relentless Russian offensives. Notably, Russian sources claim a record territorial gain of 203 square kilometers in the first week of July alone, which is nearly 40% of the total area captured in June.

"In one of the houses that we had been in, we had the big territory. This was the closest to the citizens' neighbourhood, with people inside. And there's an imaginary line that they tell us all the Gazan people know it, and that they know they are not allowed to pass it," he said. "But how can they know?"

Andrew is such a crybaby. Whether it's India, immigration issues, or Europe setting itself up to be destroyed, he reliably spreads hysteria on his set of pet issues. Andy boy, if the UK doesn't get nuked in WW3, there's little chance of it facing comeuppance instead of peacefully Eurasianizing! Trust the plan!

Explaining his decision to travel to Venezuela for the commemoration, he said: “I was in France, preparing to return to the Congo, when I received a request to record a video for this tribute. But I didn’t hesitate—I told them I wouldn’t send a video; I would go in person. Venezuela is a country that has led a struggle similar to ours. For years, its leaders have fought for their people, just as Lumumba did to liberate the Congo from colonialism. I am certain that if Lumumba were alive today, he would be a brother to Simón Bolívar, a friend to Nasser, Nkrumah, Hugo Chávez, and all those who have dedicated their lives to justice and the liberation of their peoples.”

President Tinubu, who also travelled to Brazil for the summit, has been criticised for his response to the killings. Rather than a decisive security operation or national address, the President has urged Governor Alia to “engage in dialogue” with the attackers, an approach widely condemned as tone-deaf and dangerous.

Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.

New radar data indicates that Iranian missiles directly struck at least five "Israeli" military bases during the recent 12-day conflict, according to an analysis shared by US academics at Oregon State University with The Telegraph.

Palestinian negotiators from Hamas have proposed a handful of amendments to a U.S.-promoted framework for a 60-day Gaza ceasefire agreement. According to a response that Hamas submitted to the U.S. and Israel and regional mediators from Qatar and Egypt, the Islamic resistance movement hopes the potential agreement will lead to an end to Israel’s genocidal war against Gaza that has lasted for 22 months. Obtained by Drop Site, the document is dated from July 4, when Hamas submitted its formal response to what President Donald Trump called the “final proposal.”

Palestinian residents of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron have disavowed a proposal by five purported local "sheikhs" to sever ties with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and establish an "emirate of Hebron" which would recognise the state of Israel.
