Hamas Says Witkoff Personally Promised to Lift Gaza Blockade in Exchange for Edan Alexander
The U.S. immediately broke the deal, senior Hamas official Basem Naim tells Drop Site. “They threw it in the trash” and there has been “zero” progress on a Gaza ceasefire.Jeremy Scahill (Drop Site News)
The image depicts a futuristic, large, cube-shaped structure situated on a reddish-orange terrain, reminiscent of a Martian landscape. The structure is predominantly green and has a robust, industrial design with visible windows and red lights, suggesting it is operational. It is supported by a complex base with wheels or landing gear, indicating it is designed for stability on uneven surfaces. The background features a hazy sky with a gradient from yellow to light blue, and a distant mountain range with spherical structures on top, possibly communication domes. The foreground shows a barren, rocky ground with scattered rocks and a faint outline of a fence or barrier, adding to the desolate atmosphere. The overall color palette is dominated by earthy tones, with the green of the structure contrasting against the red-orange of the terrain.

Un père condamné à huit mois avec sursis pour avoir étranglé son fils de onze ans
Jeudi 14 mai, un père a été condamné pour avoir étranglé son enfant après que ce dernier ait enfreint une règle religieuse juive. L'audience a mis en évidence un climat familial violent et des désaccords éducatifs. Mercredi 14 mai, un homme âgé de 44 ans comparaît devant le tribunal correctionnel de Strasbourg pour "violence sur mineur par un ascendant en présence d'autres mineurs".

Claim of Action by Provocateurs of the Social Peace: We Do Not Forget – We Do Not Forgive The State Capitalist Murder at Tempi
Following the large rallies for Tempi that took place on 28/2 and the
riot outbreak, especially in Athens, in the early hours of Tuesday 4/3
we carried out a symbolic attack with colors at the branch of the
Ministry of Transport in Piraeus, at 5 AIGALEO Street, at the building of the Attica Regional Administration-Regional Administration of Piraeus and Islands.
The Ministry of Transport is the relevant state body responsible for the train collision in Tempi, as the ministry responsible for all
transportation infrastructure.
The issue of the state-capitalist murder of 57 people in Tempe and the injury of at least 87 others came to the fore again two years later, with the publication of expert findings, which refer to the presence of flammable (illegaly transported) materials on the train, which are related to the explosion that followed the collision of the two trains.
Subsequently, public discourse was flooded with petitions “against the (government) cover-up” and with the demand “for the truth to shine” and “for justice to be served”.
However, the cover-up, although obvious, is not something new and does not only concern this specific case, but constitutes a permanent and timeless practice of every authority. Along with deception, concealment, manipulation, blackmail, oppression and exploitation, to secure and perpetuate the privileges of wealth and power. That is why, as a political slogan, the “NO COVER-UP” directly refers to populism.
And who will make the truth shine? The officials of the state and the
institutional network, among them the prosecutors and the judges? The government or opposition members? The party and journalist bureaus? All those who speak the language of lies at all times? All those who seek “social peace” for the smooth functioning of the state/capitalist system? Or perhaps those who seek the mediation and representation of the social base, advertising their experience and mechanisms as administrators of the social-class struggles?
Language and words have long since lost their social meaning. With the latest leap into the void, the spread of social media, where the
circulation of all kinds of nonsense and disorientation became an
“undeniable democratic right” of a hypnotized social majority that
avoids the oxygen and responsibility of social-class confrontation and liberation against a state/capitalist system that is increasingly
barbaric and deadly. Ending up suffocating by limiting itself to
complaints and protests, which refer to a request for the purification
and gentrification of a system that cannot improve but can only be
overturned.
Because how exactly will justice be delivered when JUSTICE constitutes one of the three pillars of the modern-contemporary state along with the legislative and executive powers? When it reflects and represents the Right of the Powerful? When it constitutes a basic institution-mechanism for the defense of the dominant -politically and economically- classes
and their interests? The famous Rule of Law is nothing but the carrier and guarantor of social injustice.
The alternative to the issue of social justice is for the exploited and
oppressed social groups, classes and individuals to assert their rights
and confront injustice by developing our collective power, intelligence and vision that will seek to overthrow the oppressors and executioners and create a non-violent, classless, authority-less communal organization of life. Moreover, the essential indicator of the crisis of the state/capitalist system is the degree of development, consciousness,organization and action of the forces that seek to destroy it.
Until then, we will remind you that references to the murderous nature of the state and capitalist machine and the way they treat us as expendable cannot be limited and exhausted in Tempi. The dead workers in the so-called “work accidents” (179 in 2023, 114 in 2024 and many more disabled) cannot be missing and excluded. The Roma people murdered by the police cannot be missing and excluded, such as Michalopoulos in Thiva during a simple police check, Frangoulis in Thessaloniki for 20 euros of gasoline, Sampanis in Perama for a stolen car.
The hundreds of migrants who have drowned due to push-backs by the Greek coast guard or have been found murdered in police stations, such as Mohamed Kamran Asik on 21/9/2024 at the A.T. Agios Panteleimonas, a well-known hellhole of humiliations, beatings and torture of migrants, cannot be left out and
excluded.
Have we ever thought about how the 600 migrants who were in the hold of the fishing boat off Pylos on 14/6/2023 must have felt in their last seconds? The feeling of suffocation and lack of oxygen when it capsized and sank to the bottom, at a depth exceeding 5000 meters, due to the mooring and the attempt to tow it out of Greek territorial waters by the coast guard?
Two years ago, a slogan for Tempi correctly stated: WE DO NOT HAVE NATIONAL MOURNING, WE HAVE SOCIAL-CLASS WAR. While an older slogan said:
ACTION REPLACES TEARS. We would add, with the background of our insurrectional sensitivity and the driving force of consciousness for the conquest of freedom. Against all authority. Against state, capital, racism, nationalism, patriarchy.

'Volenterosi', Marcon smentisce le scuse di Meloni: "Mai affrontata la questione di inviare truppe..."
globalist.it/politics/2025/05/…
> L’assenza dell’Italia dal vertice dei “volenterosi” sull’Ucraina, motivata da Giorgia Meloni con un richiamo alla “coerenza” rispetto alla posizione di Roma sul non invio di truppe, appare come una giustificazione posticcia.
