“The government did not do everything it could to free the hostages,” says former Israeli Defense Minister and wanted war criminal Yoav Gallant, in his first interview in two years.

Gallant also confirms that Israel had issued the Hannibal Directive on October 7, ordering Israeli terrorists to kill their own people.

So now she's written, produced, choreographed, starred in, and directed a 30 min independent film that's basically what Emilia Pérez looks like from a mexican perspective. It's full of French stereotypes including mimes and (fake) rats everywhere, the ghost of Marie Antoinette, and Ladybug and Chat Noir.

It's an enemies to lovers rom-com, a musical, both leads are trans actors, it has three original songs, and some very VERY bad French. It follows baguette heiress Johanne Sacreblu, whose family has been challenged to a duel by a prominent croissant-making family in order to prove which type of bread best represents France. So, Johanne must battle the croissant family's son, Agtugo, in a French-ness duel to prove that baguettes truly represent French culture better than croissants.

The entire film was made from start to finish in, I believe, under a week. It's on YouTube for anyone to watch, and there is talk of it potentially being shown in some movie theaters.

If you despised " Emilia perez " (2024), you need to watch the mexican response!!

JOHANNE SACREBLU

A "musical" making fun of everything Emilia perez represent. I don't want to give spoilers but knowing that the freaking Miraculous Ladybug and Maria Antonieta appears multiple times sold this musical for me

Ismail Haniyeh is the man who was negotiating ceasefire on the behalf of the Resistance in Gaza

There will be some dark days ahead but we mustn't lose hope. This is not an act by a rational, stable state. In the past couple of days, it has bombed Yemen, Beirut, Tehran in an attempt to trigger total war

Lastest photo of our building they destroyed half of the building unfortunately where is our partment 😔💔.

This was my daily view from my room 😔

They destroyed everything 😭

An Iranian military security official has revealed exclusively to The Cradle that the US contacted the Islamic Republic, asking the nation to allow Israel "a symbolic strike to save face” following Iran's retaliatory drone and missile barrage this weekend. “Iran has received messages from mediators to let the regime do a symbolic strike to save face and asked Iran not to retaliate,” the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, revealed to The Cradle. He added that Tehran “outright rejected” the proposal, delivered by mediators, and reiterated warnings that any Israeli attack on Iranian soil would be met with a decisive and immediate response.

So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.

This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.

I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.

These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.

I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.

Some more information from killy, the organizer of ghost-90's crowdfund, about how fucked the process is for Gazans to actually get paid out by GoFundMe.

And this is just one story from one person who had a little visibility at the time. How many funds have been frozen that no one knows about cuz they don't have any visibility? How many do we not know about cuz the recipient died while waiting for their funds to be released?

These financial institutions have blood on their hands just as much as the bastards dropping the bombs.

And for the people in the notes saying that the banks are just fallowing the law, laws that allow free transfer of money to Western countries but heavily criticizes and restricts money sent to the Middle East (or really any country that isnt part of the West) is racist and imperialist. Fallowing racist laws is still racist. But I think y'all might be understating how much power the banks have in this situation, they are choosing to fallow these "laws" of their own volition.
