I visited the Pechersk Lavra in 2024. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. I hope they can save the numerous works of art inside and the building.
It stood in Kyiv before Russia even existed. This is yet another attempt to destroy Ukrainian culture and identity.

Report: Palestine Action Activists Sentenced As Terrorists received sentences of up to eight years.
Defense's Rajiv Menon said "the terrorist connection ruling would be dramatic & draconian & would affect the defendants for the rest of their lives."
He said the ruling was "the first time a terrorism connection has been invoked in a case limited to property damage."

Was it Right to Boycott Eurovision? | Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (2026-05-21)
https://carnegieendowment.org/europe/strategic-europe/2026/05/taking-the-pulse-was-it-right-to-boycott-eurovision

Martin Konečný:
>> There are arguments both for and against cultural boycotts of states committing grave international crimes. What is harder to defend are blatant double standards.
>> Russia was swiftly suspended from #Eurovision and #UEFA after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Israel, despite its destruction of #Gaza and atrocities against civilians, remains in both. In Russia’s case, participation in sports and cultural events is said to be incompatible with fundamental values. With Israel, we are told that culture and sports should stay above politics, ... or even that they are antisemitic. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says excluding Israel from Eurovision would “punish the Israeli people,” yet demands that the EU cut funding to the Venice Biennale because Russia’s participation would be “morally wrong” ...

Report: Israel is manipulating AI platforms into blaming Palestinians, eg, for killing Hind Rajab.
Israel has created websites dedicated to manipulating AI platforms such as Claude & ChatGPT.
When users seek information, eg, on the murder of Hind, the manipulated chatbots produce “alternative explanations” (eg, that Hind could have been killed by Palestinian crossfire) alongside verified reporting.

Sharing things from other sites so we're not missing out due to lack of reach or having to rely on bridges. Will provide source urls for posts The theme will generally be left leaning or things I think fit the criteria of anti-war/militarism, anti-racism, politics (mostly UK, leftwing), current affairs, calling out punching down. Not here to rage bait, or spread hate. Person posting as this account is some guy without any affiliation. It's just one person. Mostly a write-only account

Interview: Israel is in a race against time to “lock in its domination” across the Middle East.
Israel’s strategy of “permanent war” allows for only two types of countries in the region:
either dependent or “too failed & fragile to pose any challenge”.
Israel can try to block a US-Iran deal by pushing for a major military operation against Iran, or by constant attacks on Lebanon & Palestine

Report: UK's Starmer says people who chant 'globalise the intifada' must be prosecuted.
Yet, "there have been no recorded incidents in the UK of an antisemitic attack involving the phrase 'globalise the intifada'."
Anti-genocide protesters "have strongly denied that 'globalise the Intifada' is antisemitic or a call for violence, & British Jews have been prominent in pro-Palestine marches in the UK".

Now being kept in Israel as hostages after Israel's illegal piracy and kidnapping in international waters.
Of course most Western Media will not even mention this story.

Global Sumud Flotilla Demands Urgent EU Intervention After Two Civilians Abducted and Disappear — Global Sumud Flotilla (2026-05-01)
https://globalsumudflotilla.org/press/global-sumud-flotilla-demands-urgent-eu-intervention-after-two-civilians-abducted-and-disappear/
------
>> The #GlobalSumudFlotilla is calling for immediate intervention from Members of the European Parliament following the disappearance of two civilian participants on a humanitarian mission to Gaza after Israeli naval forces intercepted vessels engaged in a humanitarian mission...
>> Time is critical. This is about more than two individuals. It is about whether Europe will uphold the rule of law when it comes to Gaza, or allow it to be suspended in the face of Israeli actions.
>> Inaction risks enabling unlawful detention and further attacks on civilian efforts to break the siege on #Gaza. We are calling for immediate political and diplomatic intervention.
