Conflicting narratives: "Israel's" double message on Gaza famine exposed
Conflicting narratives about the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, depending on the language of its audience, are what followers are now noticing on the "Israeli" military's various social media accounts. On its English-language Instagram page, the Israel Occupation Forces (IOF) denied that famine exists in Gaza, insisting that humanitarian aid is entering the strip daily. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Israel Defense Forces (@idf) Yet at the same time, Avichay Adraee, the IOF's Arabic-language spokesperson, posted an AI-generated image of senior Hamas leaders dining abroad. The caption read, 'While the people of Gaza suffer, Hamas leaders are conducting their terror from beyond the seas,' ending with the line: 'Gaza, for them, is a dish on the table.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Avichay Adraee أفيخاي أدرعي (@avichay_adraee) The dual messaging sparked an immediate backlash. Users accused the IOF of manipulating its narrative to suit its audience, acknowledging the suffering in Arabic to turn the public against Hamas, while denying it entirely in English to deflect global condemnation. Critics called it a propaganda stunt that not only exposes the IOF's hypocrisy but also reflects a cynical strategy: weaponizing Gaza's suffering when politically convenient, and erasing it when inconvenient. The conflicting posts come amid mounting evidence of mass hunger and deliberate aid obstruction in Gaza. With images of starving children continuing to emerge, many see the IOF's contradictory claims as part of a broader campaign to control the narrative while distancing itself from accusations of using starvation as a tool of war. As famine and desperation escalate, the IDF's two-faced messaging highlights the growing gap between ground realities in Gaza and the carefully curated versions of truth being broadcast to the world.

After her breakup with Orlando Bloom... has Katy Perry entered a new romantic relationship? - Jordan News
After her breakup with Orlando Bloom... has Katy Perry entered a new romantic relationship? In an unexpected scene bringing together the global pop star and one of Canada's most prominent figures, Katy Perry — the internationally renowned singer — was spotted having dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the city of Montreal on the evening of Monday, July 28. اضافة اعلان The meeting came just a few weeks after Perry officially announced her separation from her fiancé, actor Orlando Bloom, sparking a wave of speculation about the nature of this new relationship that may be in the making. According to what PEOPLE magazine confirmed, Katy Perry, 40, and Justin Trudeau, 53, had dinner at a well-known restaurant in one of Montreal's neighborhoods. They didn't just enjoy the meal — they also visited chef Danny Smiles in the kitchen afterward to thank him and his team, reflecting a friendly and warm atmosphere between them. This meeting has sparked widespread speculation that Perry and Trudeau may be on the verge of starting a romantic relationship — especially considering their recent breakups, which have fueled a wave of rumors and interpretations. However, some believe that Perry and Trudeau may simply be friends who share common social and cultural interests. So far, there has been no official comment from Katy Perry's spokesperson, nor has Trudeau's office responded to requests for comment.

In a joint statement released later, the couple's representatives explained that the split came after a period of "redefining the relationship" in order to focus on their roles as co-parents. The statement added that Katy and Orlando will continue to present a united front for the sake of their daughter, Daisy Dove, now four and a half years old, who remains their top priority. Trudeau After the Breakup: A New Chapter After 18 Years of Marriage On the other side, Trudeau had announced in August 2023 his separation from wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau after 18 years of marriage. The couple share three children: Xavier (17), Ella-Grace (16), and Hadrien (11). They described the split as amicable and respectful. In a joint statement posted on Instagram in both English and French, Trudeau wrote: "After many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have decided to separate. As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for everything we've built together and will continue to build." He emphasized the importance of respecting their privacy, particularly for the sake of their children. sayidaty

Critical mass achieved: Why the world can no longer ignore Palestine
I rarely visit Rome without stopping at the Campo de' Fiori to pay homage to Giordano Bruno, an Italian philosopher who, in 1600, was brutally burned at the stake by the Roman Inquisition. His crime was daring to challenge entrenched dogmas and to think freely about God and the infinite nature of the universe. As I stood beneath his imposing statue, a strange ruckus suddenly erupted, growing louder as a sizable group of protesters drew closer. Dozens of people of all ages banged on pots and pans with fervent urgency. Following the initial shock and subsequent confusion, it became clear that the protest was an urgent attempt to awaken people to the horrific famine unfolding in Gaza. In no time, more people spontaneously joined in, some clapping, having arrived unprepared with their own tools for protest. Waiters from the square's osterie instinctively began to bang their hands on anything that could generate sound, adding to the growing clamor. The square stood momentarily still, pulsating with the collective noise before the protesters marched on to another square, their numbers visibly swelling with each step. In the bustling streets of Rome, Palestinian flags were conspicuously the only foreign flags to occupy public spaces. They hung from light poles, were glued onto street signs or flew proudly atop balconies. No other country, no other conflict, no other cause has permeated public spaces as profoundly as that of Palestine. Though this phenomenon is not entirely new, the ongoing Israeli war and genocide in Gaza has undeniably amplified this solidarity, pushing it fiercely beyond the traditional confines of class, ideology and political lines. Yet, no other space in Italy can truly be compared to Naples. Palestinian symbols are everywhere, permeating the city's fabric as if Palestine is the paramount political concern for the entire region's populace. What was particularly fascinating about the solidarity with Palestinians in this vibrant city was not merely the sheer volume of graffiti, posters and flags, but the very specific references made to Palestinian martyrs, prisoners and movements. Pictures of Walid Daqqa, Shireen Abu Akleh and Khader Adnan, alongside precise demands tailored to what would have been considered, outside of Palestine, largely unfamiliar specifics to a global audience, were prominently displayed. How did Naples become so intricately attuned to the Palestinian discourse to this extent? This vital question resonates far beyond Italy, applying to numerous cities across the world. Notably, this major shift in the deeper understanding of the Palestinian struggle and the widespread embrace of the Palestinian people is unfolding, despite the pervasive and unrelenting media bias in favor of Israel and the persistent intimidation by Western governments of pro-Palestinian activists. In politics, critical mass is achieved when an idea, initially championed by a minority group, decisively transforms into a mainstream issue. This crucial shift allows it to overcome tokenism and begins to exert real and tangible influence in the public sphere. In many societies around the world, the Palestinian cause has already attained that critical mass. In others, where government crackdowns still stifle the debate at its very roots, organic growth nevertheless continues, thus promising an inevitable and fundamental change as well. And this is precisely the haunting fear of numerous Israelis, especially within their political and intellectual classes. Writing in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz on July 25, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak sounded the alarm once more. 'The Zionist vision is collapsing,' he wrote, adding that Israel is 'stuck in a 'war of deception' in Gaza.' Though Israel's pervasive Hasbara machine is relentlessly striving to stave off the surging flood of sympathy with Palestine and the rising tide of rage against Israeli alleged war crimes, for now its focus remains intently fixed on complicating the extermination of Gaza, even at the high price of global condemnation and outrage. When the war is finally over, however, Israel will undoubtedly exert its utmost efforts, employing numerous creative new ways to once more demonize the Palestinians and elevate itself—its so-called democracy and the 'right to defend itself.' Due to the growing international credibility of the Palestinian voice, Israel is already resorting to using Palestinians who indirectly defend Israel by faulting Gaza and attempting to play the role of the victim for 'both sides.' This insidious tactic is poised to grow exponentially in the future, as it aims directly at creating profound confusion and turning Palestinians against each other. Palestinians, Arabs and all supporters of justice worldwide must urgently seize this critical opportunity to decisively defeat the Israeli Hasbara for good. They must not allow Israel's lies and deceit to once more define the discourse on Palestine on the global stage. This war must be fiercely fought everywhere, and not a single space must be conceded—neither a parliament, a university, a sports event or a street corner. Giordano Bruno endured a most horrific and painful death, yet he never abandoned his profound beliefs. In the Palestine solidarity movement, we too must not waver from the struggle for Palestinian freedom and the accountability of war criminals, regardless of the time, energy or resources required. Now that Palestine has finally become the uncontested global cause, total unity is paramount to ensure the march toward freedom continues, so that the Gaza genocide becomes the final, agonizing chapter of the Palestinian tragedy.
