If someone is suspected of shoplifting diapers for their baby , should that child be shot in response to the allegation ? This shit is beyond fucked up , and makes me both sad and angry.
Police in Senatobia, a department with a history of abuse, kill a 1-year-old boy
Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old boy, was killed by police in Senatobia, Mississippi, on June 14, after officers responded to an alleged theft incident at a local Walmart involving a box of diapers.
Wiley was pronounced dead at a hospital shortly after an officer fired on a car carrying his mother, a family friend, and the child. The family friend remains in critical condition.
Police say they attempted to stop two adult suspects and a minor as they were leaving the parking lot after allegedly stealing a box of diapers. According to police, the vehicle drove toward the officers before one of them fired a shot at the car.
The officer who killed Wiley was placed on paid administrative leave while state authorities investigate the shooting.
“They didn’t even put him on unpaid administrative leave. They wanted to put him on administrative leave, but they put him on with pay. They refused to put him on unpaid leave,” a community member told El Obrero .
Wiley's family is demanding answers and has hired civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump to represent them.
In a statement on behalf of the family, Crump declared: “Kohen Wiley was a baby. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she tried to tell the officers there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, killing an innocent one-year-old. Our intention is to seek justice for baby Kohen and for the life that was taken from him.”
Wiley's killing has sparked outrage among Senatobia residents. In this small Mississippi town of approximately 8,500 people, some 200 neighbors gathered outside City Hall during a town hall meeting on June 16 to demand the officer's arrest and dismissal.
Later that day, protesters marched along Senatobia to the Walmart parking lot where Wiley was killed. County police officers, wearing gas masks, fired tear gas into the crowd to disperse the protesters. Journalists covering the protest were also affected by the gas. Law enforcement maintained a heavy presence in the area for several hours afterward.
Speaking to El Obrero , one protester recalled the police response: “It was a very large crowd, and someone from behind threw a water bottle. And without warning. They just started… They fired the gas. If you watched the news reports, everyone was affected by the tear gas.”
Protests demanding justice continued throughout the week.
The Senatobia Police Department (SPD) has a recent history of excessive use of force and reckless actions. In 2025, body camera footage showed SPD officers using excessive force against a brown man during a dispute over a handicapped parking space at the same Walmart where Kohen Wiley was killed. In 2024, the department drew heavy criticism after footage of a reckless arrest at a resident's home was made public.
Residents also expressed anger over a broader pattern in which officers accused of misconduct move between departments without accountability.
One resident told El Obrero , “We want them to stop accepting all the racist police officers they fire from other places. What they do is leave one place and jump to the next county to get another job. And they continue with the same behavior. This is the next big town after DeSoto. All the corrupt police officers from DeSoto end up here.”
“We need justice,” a community member told El Obrero . “We need them to be held accountable. The police officer must be fired. The police officers must go.”
I have just given up trying to read Rabih Alameddine's novel , "An Unnecessary Woman". The protagonist in the book is so absolutely pretentious and condescending that I couldn't continue , even after getting through most of it . I thought that if I rolled my eyes one more time due to some highbrow reference to some philosopher or other writer , then I'm done . Just painful .
Yes, the fascist troops of israel will leave Lebanon in complete and total humiliation , as the amerikkkans do everywhere they go . What is their end game ? Do they want to clear all of the Arab people out of the entire region ? Stupid arrogant racist fuckers . They will lose.
‘Leave Lebanon or Flee in Defeat’: Qaani Warns Israel as Withdrawal Pressure Mounts
Iran’s Quds Force commander warned Israel to leave Lebanon as diplomatic efforts increasingly center on securing a full Israeli withdrawal.
Key Developments
Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani warned Israel it would eventually be forced to leave Lebanon.
His remarks come amid growing diplomatic efforts to secure an Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.
A Lebanese military source denied reports that Israeli forces have withdrawn from occupied areas.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz recently vowed troops would remain despite US pressure.
A day earlier, an Israeli soldier was killed during operational activity in southern Lebanon.
Iran’s Quds Force commander Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani warned Thursday that Israel would ultimately be forced to withdraw from Lebanon, framing the continued Israeli military presence in the country’s south as unsustainable despite recent declarations by Israeli leaders that troops will remain.
The warning comes as diplomatic negotiations following the US-Iran memorandum of understanding increasingly focus on securing a permanent Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon, even as Israeli officials continue to reject calls to leave occupied territory.
‘You Will Be Forced to Flee’
Addressing Israelis directly, Qaani declared that all Israeli forces must leave Lebanese territory.
“The Zionists must leave all of Lebanon because this land is the arena of steadfastness and resistance,” he said.
He warned that continued occupation would eventually end in defeat.
“If you do not withdraw from Lebanon today of your own free will, tomorrow you will be forced to flee in shame and humiliating defeat.”
Recalling Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000, Qaani invoked former Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah’s famous speech in Bint Jbeil.
“Do not forget the year 2000 and the historic promise of the martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Bint Jbeil.”
“The promise is still alive, and the scene will be repeated.”
Focus on Lebanon
Qaani’s remarks come only days after senior Iranian officials announced that the Switzerland negotiations with the United States had produced mechanisms specifically addressing Lebanon.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said negotiators reached understandings with Washington on safeguarding Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
According to Ghalibaf, the sides agreed to establish a coordination center designed to facilitate the return of displaced Lebanese civilians and oversee the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei later confirmed that negotiators also agreed to establish a new “Conflict Resolution Cell” tasked with monitoring implementation of the Lebanon ceasefire and helping prevent renewed hostilities.
Qatar, one of the mediators alongside Pakistan, has described ending the war in Lebanon as one of the principal objectives of the broader diplomatic process.
Withdrawal Claims
Despite growing diplomatic momentum, Lebanese military officials denied reports Thursday that Israeli forces had already withdrawn from recently occupied areas.
A senior Lebanese military source said reports claiming Israeli troops had left what was described as a “buffer zone” were inaccurate.
The source stressed that Israeli forces remain deployed inside Lebanese territory captured during recent military operations.
The official also addressed criticism surrounding the Lebanese military delegation that recently participated in negotiations in Washington.
According to the source, criticism that the delegation refused—or should have refused—to participate in certain protocol arrangements with the Israeli delegation misunderstood the mission assigned to Lebanese negotiators.
“The success of any negotiations is measured by the results achieved for Lebanon, not by commemorative photographs or protocol appearances,” the source said.
He added that the blood of Lebanese soldiers killed during Israeli attacks “has not yet dried,” making it essential to respect public sentiment while pursuing negotiations that serve Lebanon’s national interests.
Widening Gap
The statements come only one day after Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed that Israeli forces would not withdraw from occupied areas in southern Lebanon “even if the United States demands withdrawal.”
His comments underscored the widening gap between Israel’s public position and the diplomatic understandings emerging from the US-Iran negotiations, where Lebanese sovereignty has become a central issue.
Hezbollah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah echoed that position, arguing that no final agreement backed by Washington could succeed without a complete Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory.
According to Fadlallah, the emerging regional understanding rests on “the strength of the battlefield” alongside diplomatic negotiations.
Fighting Continues
The political exchanges came as Israel confirmed that one of its soldiers was killed during ‘operational activity’ in southern Lebanon.
The military identified the soldier as Master Sgt. (res.) Basil Sweid, 32, who died when a military fuel truck overturned during operations. Another soldier sustained moderate injuries.
Israel continues to occupy areas of southern Lebanon, including territory held for decades as well as land seized during the latest war.
According to Lebanese authorities, Israel’s offensive since March 2 has killed more than 4,000 people, wounded over 12,000 and displaced more than one million residents.
When you see these neanderthal fucks with their "fuck trudeau" bumper stickers on the back of their trucks (and yes, they are ALWAYS trucks) what are they actually trying to say ? I hate trudeau also , but I'm sure that's all that we'd have in common , and even why we hate him would be completely different . Some of these dipshits call him a "commie" . Seriously ? A communist running around with Katy Perry , like some grinning idiot ? He's as free market capitalist as they come . So is asshat carney (millionaire banker) , and obviously polievre . What a fucking douche . Perhaps poilievre is the only one who is racist enough for the braindead bumpersticker politicians?
Maybe it's time to focus on being a decent person , instead of spending every second showing off your profound stupidity . The same goes for those holier than thou pricks and their "coexist" stickers. Ugh. Fuck them too .
The genocide against the Palestinian people was never "self-defense". It is only about wiping the Palestinians off the face of the earth , and resettling Gaza with more israeli fascists . Western leaders are complicit in this , and are all guilty of war crimes , no matter what the u.n. or nato says.

A UN investigation concluded that Israel deliberately targeted Palestinian children, finding evidence of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Key Takeaways
A UN inquiry found reasonable grounds to conclude that Israel continued committing genocide in Gaza.
At least 20,179 Palestinian children were killed between October 2023 and October 2025.
The commission said children were deliberately targeted, helping establish genocidal intent.
The report linked attacks on healthcare, starvation and displacement to preventable child deaths.
The inquiry also documented settler violence and systematic abuse of Palestinian children in Israeli detention.
A United Nations investigation has concluded that Israeli occupation authorities and army deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, finding that the killings form part of an ongoing genocide and constitute some of the gravest violations documented since the war began in October 2023.
The findings were published Tuesday by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, which examined violations committed against Palestinian children during the war and its aftermath.
According to the inquiry, the scale of child deaths, injuries, trauma and destruction points to a systematic campaign that has devastated an entire generation of Palestinians.
Genocidal Intent
The commission found that at least 20,179 Palestinian children were killed between October 7, 2023 and October 7, 2025, representing nearly 30 percent of all Palestinians killed during the war.
The report concluded that Israeli forces continued killing children even after a ceasefire took effect in October 2025 and said these actions formed a central element in establishing genocidal intent.
“The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” commission chair Srinivasan Muralidhar said.
The inquiry stated that Israeli authorities and security forces had “continued to commit the crime of genocide” in Gaza and that the targeting of children was aimed at destroying the Palestinian group in whole or in part.
According to the commission, the killing and maiming of children was “part of a strategy to destroy the biological continuity and future existence of the Palestinian group in Gaza.”
‘Erased Childhood’
The report paints a devastating picture of childhood in Gaza after nearly three years of war.
Investigators found that severe physical and psychological injuries, mass trauma, orphanhood, repeated displacement, disability, starvation and the collapse of education and healthcare systems had effectively “erased childhood” in Gaza.
“By targeting children, Israel is attacking the very capacity of the Palestinian people to exist and to determine their future,” Muralidhar said.
The commission concluded that Israel’s actions have weakened the demographic vitality of Palestinian society, creating what it described as a severe orphan crisis while leaving thousands of children facing permanent disabilities.
According to the report, disability has become “a defining demographic reality” among Gaza’s children.
Intentional Attacks
One of the report’s most significant findings concerns Israel’s continued use of high-payload bombs and wide-area effect weapons in densely populated residential neighborhoods despite mounting evidence of mass child casualties.
The commission concluded that the continued use of such weapons under those circumstances indicated intent.
“This indicates that such attacks, which killed children in such high numbers, were intentional,” the report stated.
Investigators further concluded that Palestinian children were collectively targeted because Israeli forces viewed the civilian population as broadly associated with Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups.
The inquiry also listed Israeli military divisions, brigades and units that may bear responsibility for child deaths in specific incidents across Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
Healthcare, Starvation and Newborn Deaths
Beyond direct military attacks, the commission found that conditions imposed on Gaza caused widespread preventable deaths among children.
According to the report, repeated displacement, starvation and restrictions on aid, food and medicine severely damaged children’s health and development.
The inquiry also found that attacks on healthcare facilities and reproductive care centers directly affected the survival of newborns.
Investigators documented increased miscarriages and reported that the collapse of public health programs had undermined “the conditions necessary for a healthy next generation.”
Nearly all children in Gaza were reported to require psychological support.
Violence in the West Bank
The commission’s findings extended beyond the genocide in Gaza.
In the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, investigators documented a sharp increase in settler violence against Palestinian children. They also reported evidence of torture, sexual violence and systematic abuse during mass arrests and detention operations.
According to the report, Palestinian children, particularly boys, were subjected to forced stripping, beatings and food deprivation inside Israeli detention facilities.
The commission concluded that such treatment amounted to crimes against humanity, including torture and other inhumane acts causing severe suffering and injury.
Call for Accountability
The inquiry comes months after the same commission concluded in a previous report that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza and that senior Israeli officials had incited such acts. Israel rejected those findings and similarly dismissed the latest report.
Nevertheless, investigators reiterated that there are reasonable grounds to conclude that genocidal acts continue to be committed and urged all states to ensure accountability for crimes committed against Palestinians.
The report arrives amid growing international scrutiny of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, where more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023, according to Palestinian health authorities.
For the commission, however, one conclusion stood above all others: the destruction inflicted on Gaza’s children is not merely a consequence of war, but evidence of a deliberate policy aimed at undermining the future existence of the Palestinian people.
Murderous imperialist assholes don't learn from previous mistakes . The u.s.a. supported the taliban back in the day , and then the taliban turned against the filthy amerikkkans . And it seems that the fascist state of israel has tried the same tactic , and will face the same outcome . That's what you get , assholes .
Israeli Admission: Armed Gaza Militias Failed—And Could Turn Against Israel
Israeli analysts and former intelligence officials are increasingly acknowledging that Israeli-backed militias have failed to challenge Hamas in Gaza.
Key Takeaways
Israeli-backed militias have failed to emerge as a meaningful alternative to Hamas.
Former Israeli intelligence officials warn the project may ultimately threaten Israel itself.
The groups remain small, isolated, and largely rejected by Palestinians despite extensive Israeli support.
For more than two years, Israel has quietly pursued what many officials hoped would become one of the central pillars of its genocide strategy in Gaza: the creation of locally armed Palestinian groups capable of challenging Hamas, administering territory, and eventually serving as an alternative governing force inside the Strip.
Today, according to an investigation published by the Israeli news outlet Zman Israel, even some of Israel’s own analysts, former intelligence officials, and security experts are openly questioning whether the entire project has failed.
Far from becoming a viable alternative to Hamas, the militias remain fragmented, geographically isolated, dependent on Israeli protection, and largely devoid of public legitimacy.
More alarmingly for Israel, experts now warn that the weapons, training, and capabilities provided to these groups could eventually be turned against the occupation itself.
The report reveals growing frustration inside Israeli policy circles as efforts to engineer a new political reality in Gaza continue to fall short.
A Project Built in Secrecy
According to Zman Israel, Israel has spent the past year supplying anti-Hamas armed groups with extensive support, including weapons, intelligence, food supplies, logistical assistance, air support, and medical treatment for wounded fighters inside Israel.
The investigation points to evidence suggesting that some groups may now be receiving increasingly sophisticated military equipment.
In May, one militia published footage showing one of its members operating what appeared to be a large military-grade drone, prompting fresh concerns among Israeli observers regarding the nature of the support being provided.
Yet despite the resources invested, much of the project remains shrouded in secrecy.
Israeli authorities have repeatedly refused to answer questions regarding the militias’ structure, funding, operational objectives, or long-term role in Gaza.
The Israeli military declined to comment on whether advanced equipment seen in militia videos originated from Israel, while the Prime Minister’s Office and Defense Ministry also avoided substantive responses.
The absence of transparency has become one of the central criticisms raised by Israeli experts themselves.
‘Capital of Israeli Fantasies’
Among the sharpest critics is Michael Milshtein, former head of Palestinian affairs in Israeli military intelligence and one of Israel’s most respected analysts on Palestinian society.
“Gaza has become the capital of Israeli fantasies, and that includes operating these militias,” Milshtein told Zman Israel.
His criticism extends far beyond questions of implementation. Milshtein argues that the underlying assumption—that Israel could manufacture a local Palestinian alternative to Hamas through armed proxies—was flawed from the outset.
According to the report, Israel initially attempted to cultivate alternative power structures through clans, influential families, and local figures beginning in early 2024. Those efforts largely collapsed after many families rejected cooperation, fearing both confrontation with Hamas and accusations of collaboration with the occupation.
Netanyahu later acknowledged that Israel had attempted to strengthen clans and local actors to replace Hamas rule, but the strategy produced few tangible results.
Hundreds of Fighters, Little Influence
The report paints a stark picture of the militias’ actual footprint inside Gaza.
Videos, social media posts, and public statements issued by the groups suggest that their combined strength amounts to only a few hundred fighters. Their activities consist primarily of sporadic clashes with Hamas, aid distribution campaigns, patrols in Israeli-controlled areas, and extensive social media efforts designed to project influence.
While some militia leaders claim to administer small enclaves free from Hamas control, the report notes that nearly all of Gaza’s population remains concentrated in areas where Hamas continues to exercise authority.
Researchers interviewed by the publication concluded that the militias have failed to meaningfully alter the balance of power inside the Strip.
Milshtein was particularly blunt. According to the report, he argued that the groups have had “very little significant influence” on Gaza beyond potentially harming Israeli interests.
Palestinians Deeply Skeptical
Perhaps the most damaging finding concerns public legitimacy. The investigation cites testimony from Gaza residents, researchers, and even some militia leaders themselves indicating that the groups have struggled to gain acceptance among Palestinians.
Residents interviewed by the publication reportedly described hostility toward the militias, while others rejected them as entities that do not represent Palestinian national interests.
Even Israeli researchers who support efforts to weaken Hamas acknowledged that the militias remain marginal actors with limited influence over civilian life.
A recurring criticism throughout the report is that none of the current militia leaders possessed significant standing within Palestinian society before the war. Some were reportedly associated with criminal activity, smuggling operations, or other controversial backgrounds.
Milshtein offered perhaps the most devastating assessment. “Clearly, we took the bottom layer of Palestinian society,” he said.
“People who are criminals, questionable figures, involved in terrorism against Israel—out of the belief that they could become an alternative to Hamas.”
Fears of Blowback
The report also reveals growing concern that the project could eventually backfire.
Milshtein warned that transferring advanced capabilities such as drones to militia groups carries serious risks.
“They will eventually turn to terrorism themselves, or Hamas will get hold of the drones and use them against us,” he warned.
Other concerns center on the possibility that weapons distributed to the militias could eventually fall into the hands of Palestinian resistance groups, creating a new security challenge for Israel.
The investigation further notes reports that some militias have participated in the displacement of civilians from areas targeted for expanded Israeli control, raising additional questions regarding their role on the ground.
No Strategy, No Accountability
Beyond questions of effectiveness, the report exposes what critics describe as a profound lack of strategic clarity.
After years of war, Israel still appears unable to answer a fundamental question: what role are these groups actually supposed to play?
The militias have not replaced Hamas. They have not established broad administrative authority. They have not secured meaningful public support.
And according to the report, there has been little serious evaluation of whether the project should continue at all.
Milshtein’s final assessment captures the growing frustration emerging within sections of Israel’s security establishment. “No one stops and asks where all this nonsense is going,” he said.
“Does it help? Does it hurt? Should it be changed or canceled? For two years there has been no examination of this entire affair—not in the Shin Bet and not in the military. There is no examination, and when there is no examination, mistakes simply repeat themselves over and over and over again.”
