🇮🇱⚖️ 88% of Israeli War Crimes Cases Closed Without Charges — Watchdog Sparks Global Concern 🕊️🌍

A shocking new report has revealed that nearly 9 out of 10 war crimes investigations against the Israeli army have been dropped without charges — even in high-profile cases that left scores of Palestinian civilians dead 😔🩸.

According to UK-based conflict monitor Action on Armed Violence (AOAV), 88% of investigations into alleged Israeli abuses in Gaza and the West Bank ended with no accountability, no trials — just silence 🤐🚫.

📊 The Numbers Tell a Grim Story 🧾💔
AOAV examined 52 cases between October 2023 and June 2025, involving:

💀 1,303 Palestinian deaths

🤕 1,880 injuries

🧷 2 torture allegations

And what was the outcome?

Only 1 soldier was sentenced — a 7-month prison term 😳

5 others received internal reprimands

39 cases remain “under review”

7 closed with no wrongdoing found

AOAV says this shows a "pattern of impunity" 🔁🛑.

📢 “The system overwhelmingly shields its forces from accountability even in the most serious, public cases,” wrote investigators Iain Overton and Lucas Tsantzouris.

🧺 Aid Lines Become Target Zones 🎯
Some of the deadliest incidents still being reviewed include:

🥖 The February 2024 massacre of 112 Palestinians queuing for flour in Gaza City

⛺ The May strike on a Rafah tent camp that killed 45 civilians

🚶 The June 1 killing of 31 people heading to a food distribution site in Rafah

These cases shocked the world — but none have led to criminal charges ⚠️.

🧑‍⚖️ “Independent” Investigations — But Not Transparent? 👀🔍
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) insists it has a dedicated Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism 🏢 to probe these incidents.

Their statement reads:
📄 “Dozens of Military Police investigations have been opened involving detainee deaths, misuse of force, looting, and destruction of property.”

But critics, including Israeli rights group Yesh Din, argue the system is slow, opaque, and rarely delivers justice ⏳🔒.

🔢 Between 2014 and 2021, just 1 prosecution emerged from 664 complaints. Let that sink in.

🛑 World Central Kitchen Strike: “A Grave Mistake” with No Accountability 🍽️💔
In April 2024, a drone strike killed 7 aid workers from World Central Kitchen. They were traveling in clearly marked vehicles, with their movements coordinated beforehand 📍🚗.

IDF called it a “grave mistake”, fired two officers, and reprimanded others — but again, no criminal charges were filed.

⚖️ International Standards “Not Met” 🌐❌
AOAV concludes that Israel’s internal reviews “fall far short” of what’s expected in independent, transparent war crimes investigations ⚖️🕵️.

📢 “Victims are left without justice,” the watchdog warns, while internal probes help Israel resist global legal scrutiny.

🔥 The World is Watching — But Is Justice Being Served? 🤔🕊️
As the war rages on and more civilian lives are lost 💔, the question isn’t just what happened, but who is being held accountable?

What do you think? 🌍💬
Should international courts step in where local justice fails?

🇺🇦💥 Inside Ukraine’s Bold Push to Build Its Own Weapons Amid Trump Flip-Flops and Putin’s Onslaught 🔧🚀

As Russia intensifies its brutal attacks 💣🔥 and U.S. support wavers under Donald Trump’s shifting stance 🇺🇸🔄, Ukraine is racing to supercharge its domestic weapons industry — fighting back with homemade firepower and grit 💪⚙️.

On Tuesday, Trump issued a bold warning to Putin 📣🐻 — agree to a ceasefire or face new sanctions. But Ukraine isn’t waiting around 🕰️. With Trump's support swinging like a pendulum and Putin showing no signs of stopping, Kyiv is doubling down on building its own arsenal 🏭💣.

🇺🇦 Fighting Back With Firepower Made at Home 🔥🔩
Ukraine is now manufacturing a wide array of weapons:

✈️ Drones with ranges up to 2,000km

🧨 Cruise Missiles like Neptune and Peklo

🚀 Ballistic systems under wraps, possibly Hrim/Hrim2-based

💥 “Bars” – a turbojet-powered hybrid missile-drone in development

Zelensky says Ukraine aims to produce 3,000 missiles in 2025 alone 🚀📈.

🏭 Pavlohrad: Targeted for What It Builds 🏗️🔥
The city of Pavlohrad, known for its Soviet-era missile factories, was hit by its biggest air raid yet ☁️💣. Fires still raged two days after, with residents like Dima recounting the terror:

🗣️ “The Russians have increased their attacks. Civilians are the target more often than not — they want to spread fear.” 😨

Russia claimed it was hitting facilities producing missile and drone parts 🛠️👁️.

🔍 Secret Factories, Shared Sacrifices 🤐🔐
The Independent visited a hidden weapons factory in western Ukraine, where former soldier “Andriy” now leads production of BTR-4E “Bucephalus” armoured vehicles 🛡️🚛.

🏭 “We cast and produce almost everything here,” said Andriy. “We rely on trust. Neighbors won’t betray each other or their country.” 🤝🇺🇦

These facilities are guarded by:

🛡️ Air defense systems

👮 Security patrols

🛰️ Satellite surveillance countermeasures

🧍‍♂️ Community loyalty

💬 “We Had to Become Self-Sufficient” ⚠️
After U.S. support paused in late 2023, Kyiv realized it could no longer rely solely on the West. Strategic Industries Minister Herman Smetanin and adviser Yuri Sak led efforts to revive the defense sector 💼🛠️.

Sak says:
📈 “We increased our defense output 35× in 3 years. From making 1 howitzer a month to 15 today.” 🔥

Ukraine now has:

🏭 ~100 state-owned weapons companies

🏢 ~700 private defense firms

🛸 Plans to make 5 million drones in 2025 alone

🚨 Russia Watching Closely 👁️
Putin’s forces are targeting weapons sites, trying to cripple Ukraine’s arms production 💣🏭. But Ukraine is staying ahead by splitting production across smaller, secret locations, so if one falls, others continue 🔄🧩.

Each site is:

Highly classified 🕵️

Guarded against espionage 🛰️

Vital to Ukraine’s survival 🇺🇦🛠️

🇺🇦 The Future of Warfare is Being Forged in Ukraine 🛠️⚔️
From laser-guided drones to turbojet hybrid missiles, Ukraine is reshaping how small nations fight back against larger enemies ✊📡.

Even as Trump’s position wavers and the West debates its next steps 🤷‍♂️⚖️, Ukraine isn't waiting for permission to survive. It’s building its future — piece by piece, missile by missile. 🔧🔥

🇵🇸💔 Aid Worker Killed as Israeli Strike Hits Red Crescent HQ in Gaza 💣🚑

Tragedy has once again struck the heart of Gaza 😔. The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says an Israeli military strike hit its headquarters in Khan Younis, killing one aid worker and injuring at least three others 💥🩸.

The attack set the building ablaze 🔥, with smoke billowing into the sky and heartbreaking scenes of destruction left behind 🧱💔. Videos showed flames inside the HQ, while photos revealed bloodstains and serious structural damage 🏥📸.

According to PRCS, the headquarters was clearly marked with the Red Crescent symbol and its location was well known to the Israeli military 🟥✳️. “This was not a mistake,” the organization stated firmly 🗣️⚠️.

🔊 “We renew our call for accountability and protection of humanitarian and medical personnel,” the PRCS urged.

🇮🇱 In response, the Israeli military told the BBC it had “no knowledge” of artillery or airstrikes in that area. No further comment was given.

This comes just hours after another deadly incident, where at least 23 Palestinians were killed while trying to get food from distribution points 🍞💔. Gaza’s population of 2.2 million is now facing extreme hunger and famine due to the ongoing Israeli blockade and military campaign 😢🍽️.

🔻 The death toll since October 2023 has reportedly surpassed 60,000 in Gaza, according to the health ministry 📊🕊️. The military offensive began after a Hamas-led attack that killed 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages.

🏥 Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza said it received bodies from various food routes, including:

8 from Teina, near Khan Younis 📍

1 from Shakoush, near Rafah 🧭

9 more near the Morag corridor 🚧

Up north, even more civilians were shot at while trying to access food through GHF (Gaza Humanitarian Foundation) routes, according to local hospitals 💔🥖.

📊 UN figures show 859 people were killed near aid sites from 27 May to 31 July, with many others slain near UN food convoy routes 🚚🕯️.

The GHF was established in May as an alternative to UN operations — but it’s now at the center of fresh controversy. Israel accused UN convoys of being infiltrated by Hamas early in the war, but hasn’t provided solid proof, and the UN has denied any wrongdoing 🕊️🧾.

🇬🇧✨ Why Keir Starmer is Outshining the EU in Handling Donald Trump 🇺🇸🤝

While EU President Ursula von der Leyen ✍️ just signed a US-EU trade deal with Donald Trump, the reaction in Europe has been far from happy 😕. Leaders like Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz called it damaging 💸, and France’s PM François Bayrou called it “submission” 😤. Even Hungary’s Viktor Orbán joked that Trump “ate Von der Leyen for breakfast” 🥐🍽️.

But one big question has been on everyone’s lips across Europe: How did Keir Starmer and the UK manage to secure a better deal than the EU? 🇬🇧💼

Here’s the scoop:

The EU is still paying 15% tariffs on US goods, while the UK only has 10% tariffs 🚢📉.

The EU agreed to spend billions buying US energy 💡, while the UK’s terms seem more favorable.

Many EU diplomats feel Von der Leyen came off as too “featherweight” — seen as a weak negotiator compared to Starmer’s strong stance 🪶❌💪.

An insider at Trump’s Turnberry golf resort revealed Trump actually respects Starmer 👍. He sees him as honest and straightforward — not a “sycophant” — which Trump values. In Trump’s eyes, Starmer is “a decent man,” though the UK public doesn’t always see that 👀.

Even on tricky issues like Palestine, Starmer got Trump’s approval when the UK recognized a Palestinian state 🇵🇸✅, while Trump clashed with leaders like France’s Macron and Canada’s Mark Carney over similar moves 😬.

The personal connection between Starmer and Trump seems key 🤝, with sources saying Trump doesn’t want trouble with the UK before his planned state visit in September 🇺🇸👑.

Other players in the background? King Charles III and Prince William, who have good relations with Trump 👑🤝🇺🇸. Plus, Lord Peter Mandelson, the UK’s ambassador in Washington, is working hard to maintain strong ties and is considered one of the most effective diplomats in DC right now 🌟🏛️.

So far, Starmer’s blend of diplomacy and straightforwardness seems to be paying off with the US, while the EU struggles to match the UK’s success 🇬🇧🏅 vs 🇪🇺⚖️.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu Seeks Red Cross Help to Deliver Aid to Hostages in Gaza 🚨🆘

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reached out to the Red Cross 🤝, asking for urgent assistance in providing food 🍲 and medical care 🚑 to the hostages still held in Gaza.

Netanyahu spoke with Julien Lerisson, the Red Cross’s regional head, urging his immediate involvement to help the 49 hostages believed to be in Gaza — though sadly, 27 are thought to have already died ⚰️.

On social media, Netanyahu insisted that Palestinian civilians in Gaza are not starving 🚫🍽️, pushing back against reports from Palestinian health officials who say over 111 people have died from malnutrition amid a growing humanitarian crisis ⚠️.

He condemned Hamas, saying:

“The lie of starvation propagated by Hamas is spreading worldwide 🌍, but the reality is that systematic starvation is being carried out against our hostages — men and women who suffer severe physical and psychological abuse 😔.”

Netanyahu called on the international community 🌐 to condemn Hamas and Islamic Jihad, describing their actions as violations of international law 📜 and the Geneva Convention ⚖️.

Meanwhile, Hamas recently released two distressing videos 🎥 of Israeli hostage Evyatar David. One showed him looking extremely weak and thin 🥀, while the other showed him digging a hole he said was for his own grave ⚰️. In the video, he said:

“I haven’t eaten for days… I barely got drinking water 💧.”

His family pleaded for help 🙏, calling on Israel and the world to do everything possible to save him 🆘.

🔥 Trump Calls Radio Host Charlamagne tha God a ‘Racist Sleazebag’ After Heated Clash on Lara Trump’s Show! 🎙️⚡

Things got spicy on social media early Sunday when President Donald Trump took aim at Charlamagne tha God — real name Lenard McKelvey — with some harsh words on Truth Social. Trump called the popular radio host a “racist sleazebag” and slammed him as a “Low IQ individual” who “knows nothing” about Trump or his achievements. 🚨

Why the firestorm? It all started when Charlamagne appeared on Lara Trump’s Fox News show My View and suggested that after the fallout over the Jeffrey Epstein Files, traditional Republicans might regain control of the GOP by appealing to frustrated MAGA voters. He said:

“I think there is a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party... This Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back.”

Trump didn’t hold back on social media, questioning why Charlamagne gets to call himself “The God” and highlighting the success of Lara Trump’s show. He even hinted at his own comparisons to Jesus Christ — adding fuel to the fire.

The Epstein Files controversy has been a sore spot for Trump lately. He promised to release these files, which many believed contained names of high-profile individuals tied to Epstein’s alleged s*x trafficking ring. But senior Trump officials have since said no “client list” exists, and Epstein died by su***de in 2019.

Many in the MAGA base feel betrayed, suspecting that Trump is protecting powerful people — maybe even himself — by keeping those documents under wraps. While Trump denies wrongdoing and has sued media outlets like the Wall Street Journal over reports linking him to Epstein, the scandal continues to cause political tension.

Charlamagne’s comments suggest that figures like Nikki Haley might seize this moment to reclaim the Republican Party without upsetting Trump’s loyal supporters. He said:

“The MAGA base isn’t letting this issue go. And for the first time, traditional conservatives know they can probably take their party back without pi***ng off the MAGA base.”

The clash between Trump and Charlamagne shows just how charged and divided things remain in the Republican Party — and in the wider political arena.

What do you think?
Is Charlamagne right that traditional Republicans could regain control of the GOP?

🚨 Trump Calls Himself the ‘Father of IVF’ — But His Promise to Make Insurance Cover It Seems to Have Vanished! 🤰💔

During the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump boldly promised to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) more accessible — pledging that insurance companies would have to cover this fertility treatment for millions of Americans struggling to start families.

He even called himself the “father of IVF” and vowed,

“We are going to be paying for that treatment. We’re going to be mandating that the insurance company pay.”

Sounds great, right? But now, just months later, White House insiders say that plan has quietly been put on hold — and it looks like mandating insurance coverage for IVF might never happen. 😕

The Washington Post reported that officials have backed away from pushing legislation on this issue, noting that changing Obamacare rules would require Congress’s approval, not just an executive order. That’s a tough hill to climb with a divided Congress and a chaotic House GOP.

Trump’s record on using executive power is clear — he’s dismantled parts of government by executive orders. But expanding IVF insurance coverage? That’s a whole different story, and one he hasn’t laid out a clear path for since the campaign.

Earlier this year, Trump signed an order asking advisers to recommend policies to make IVF more affordable and accessible, but since then, it’s been radio silence on the progress. 🤐

The move had divided opinions:

Some conservatives applauded the push, especially those worried about falling birth rates and America’s future families.

Others pointed out it clashed with Trump’s earlier attempts to repeal Obamacare, which set up many of these health insurance rules.

Progressives also had mixed feelings, some supporting wider healthcare access but skeptical about the political motivations.

Vice President JD Vance, a vocal natalist, echoed the urgency for boosting birth rates, calling out what he calls an “anti-child ideology” in the country.

Meanwhile, critics say this promise reflects a political balancing act — appealing to conservative family values while trying to court voters concerned about healthcare access.

A White House spokeswoman said the administration remains committed to “using its authorities to deliver on this pledge,” but the details and timeline remain murky.

Key points to consider:
Trump promised to mandate insurance coverage for IVF during his campaign

White House officials now say legislative action would be needed, which is unlikely soon

IVF expansion policy contrasts with earlier attempts to repeal Obamacare

The issue taps into broader debates about family, healthcare, and political strategy

🐋💥 Whale Killed & Passenger Thrown Overboard in Dramatic New Jersey Boat Collision! 🚤🌊😱

A shocking accident unfolded off the New Jersey shore when a motorboat collided with a 20-foot minke whale, killing the majestic creature and sending one passenger flying overboard! 😲👀

Video captured the terrifying moment the boat rocked wildly in Barnegat Bay on Saturday afternoon as the whale tried to swim away after the impact. The force was so strong it nearly tipped the boat over! ⚠️🚤

Thankfully, the passenger who was thrown into the water managed to tread water safely next to the boat until rescuers pulled them out 🏊‍♂️💪.

Sadly, the whale was later found dead, resting on a sandbar in shallow water. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center, a nonprofit dedicated to rescue and release, said they couldn’t get close enough to examine the whale fully due to tides 🌊🐋.

Stranding coordinator Jay Pagel said,

“The side we could see showed no obvious marks, but visibility was limited.” 👀

Pagel also mentioned reports that the whale might have been injured before the crash, and videos suggest it might have bumped a pontoon boat after the first collision 🛥️⚠️.

The whale is scheduled to be towed to a state park for a necropsy (animal autopsy) to find the official cause of death — a process expected to take several hours 🔬📋.

In the meantime, officials are urging all boaters to keep a safe distance of at least 150 feet from the whale carcass to ensure safety and respect for the marine life 🛑🚤.

🌊 What you should know:
A minke whale was fatally struck by a motorboat in Barnegat Bay

One passenger was thrown overboard but rescued safely

Necropsy will determine exact cause of whale’s death

Boaters urged to keep a safe distance for now

🚨 Montana Manhunt: Armed Veteran Kills 4 in Bar Shooting — Locals Warned He May Return 😱🔫🚓

A peaceful Montana town has been thrown into fear as a massive manhunt continues for a military veteran suspected of murdering four people in cold blood at a local bar. 😔🍻

The accused gunman, Michael Paul Brown, allegedly walked into The Owl Bar in Anaconda early Friday and opened fire, killing four people without warning. Authorities say he used his own weapon and was a regular at the bar, which is just steps from his home. 🏠🔪

🗣️ “This is an unstable individual who murdered four people for no reason,” said Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen. “He’s armed, extremely dangerous, and may return.” ⚠️

🔍 Brown, a U.S. Army veteran who served from 2001 to 2005, has been battling serious mental illness for years, according to his niece, Clare Boyle.

“It’s not just a drunk man going wild. It’s a sick man who often doesn’t know where or when he is,” she said. 😟🧠

📸 Authorities released surveillance footage showing Brown barefoot and shirtless, looking disoriented as he descended concrete steps shortly after the shooting. He initially fled in a white pickup truck, but later abandoned it. 🚙🛑

Investigators now believe Brown stole another vehicle filled with camping gear and clothing, meaning he’s likely changed his appearance and could be anywhere. 🏕️🧥

🚨 He was last spotted Friday afternoon near Stump Town, and officials locked down Barker Lake and parts of Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest as the manhunt stretched into its third day. 🌲🚔

Authorities have not yet released the names of the victims, but it’s believed Brown knew at least some of them. 😔

🏆 A $7,500 reward is being offered for any information that leads to his capture.

💬 “This is still Montana,” Knudsen said. “Montanans know how to take care of themselves. But please — if you spot him, call 911 immediately.” 📞🧭

❗ What you should know:
Brown is considered armed and extremely dangerous 🔥

He may have new clothes and gear from a stolen vehicle 🎒

Multiple events and public areas have been shut down to protect locals 🚫

😳 Sandwich Rage Turns Violent: Man Stabs Bakery Owners Over 4-Year-Old Eggplant Allergy 😱🔪🥪

In a bizarre and shocking incident out of New Jersey, a man returned to a bakery four years after allegedly being served a sandwich with eggplant — a food he's allergic to — and stabbed the owners in a violent outburst 😳💔.

According to reports, the man walked into Baladna Bakery in Paterson last week, confronted brothers Abed and Mohammad Assad, and accused them of selling him a sandwich in 2020 that made him ill 🤢🍆. He claimed it contained eggplant, which triggered his allergy.

Witnesses say things escalated quickly 😨 — the man pulled out a knife and stabbed Mohammad in the stomach, while Abed was slashed in the arm as he tried to intervene 💉🩸.

“I heard screaming,” said one witness. “When I ran outside, one of the bakery owners was holding his arm. It was bleeding badly.” 😔👂👀

Both brothers were rushed to Saint Joseph’s University Hospital 🏥. Abed has since been released, but Mohammad remains hospitalized due to the severity of his injuries.

💬 The community was left in disbelief. “They’re such nice people,” one resident said. “This caught everyone off guard.”

🚨 Paterson Mayor André Sayegh visited the scene to calm fears in the neighborhood, promising that police are working hard to catch the suspect and ensure justice is served ⚖️👮‍♂️.

The attacker fled on foot down Main Street and is still on the run 🏃‍♂️🚫. As of now, authorities haven’t released a description of the suspect.

Sadly, the family-run bakery has remained closed since the attack and will stay that way until further notice 🛑🍞.

🔹 Should there be harsher penalties for long-delayed acts of revenge?

🚨 Trump’s DOJ Wants Voter Data — But States Are Saying “Not So Fast” 🗳️🛑

State officials across the US are sounding the alarm after President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice started requesting massive amounts of voter data — and no one’s sure what they plan to do with it. 🤔📂

Over the past three months, the DOJ’s Voting Section has contacted at least 15 states, asking for voter rolls, data on potential federal voting law violators, and details about how states remove ineligible voters. 😳💾

Traditionally, the Voting Section works to protect voting rights, but under Trump’s new executive order, it’s now focused on voter fraud — something Trump has repeatedly exaggerated as a national crisis. 🧾⚠️

But officials aren’t convinced. Some say the DOJ is demanding too much, including private voter information that can't legally be shared without congressional oversight. 🕵️‍♀️🔐

👉 Utah’s Lieutenant Governor Deidre Henderson said “No thanks” when asked to hand over protected details on 2.1 million voters.
“We’ve offered the public list. If they want sensitive data, there’s a legal process,” she said. 📜

In California, DOJ officials reportedly asked four counties for the ID numbers, birth dates, and voting records of people removed from rolls as noncitizens. 😱📉

💬 Meanwhile, in Colorado, the DOJ asked for “all records” related to the 2024 election — that includes ballots, voting machines, and even archived documents from 2020. 🗂️🖥️

This push comes not long after the Colorado Supreme Court tried (unsuccessfully) to bar Trump from the 2024 ballot, citing his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. 🏛️⚖️

🗣️ In Maine, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows rejected the DOJ’s request outright.

“It seems like they’re more interested in keeping people from voting than in encouraging participation,” she said. 😤🗳️

Bellows also questioned the scope of the effort:

“Why on Earth does the DOJ need voter data from all 50 states?” 🌍

States like Arizona, Connecticut, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin have reportedly received similar requests. 🗺️📥

Despite there being no confirmed evidence of widespread voter fraud in either the 2020 or 2024 elections, Trump continues to claim they were “rigged” and that undocumented immigrants voted. 🧟‍♂️🗳️

The DOJ says it’s trying to enforce federal election laws, but the scale and secrecy behind these demands have many questioning the true motive. 🔍🇺🇸
