Once again, the United Nations reminds us that genocide is taking place in the Gaza Strip.

A report issued on 23 June 2026 by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory documented what Israel has committed against the Palestinian people, especially children.

This followed an earlier report from the same commission on 16 September 2025, which found that genocide was taking place, as well as the report of the UN special rapporteur issued on 20 October 2025.

But what can meticulously documented international reports do in the face of those who have insisted on averting their eyes from declared Israeli intentions to commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, comprehensive destruction and horrific starvation - not to mention the torrent of live images transmitted around the clock to mobile devices from the field of atrocities over the course of two full years?

Specialised UN reports, testimonies by international rapporteurs and experts, assessments by the most prominent global human rights organisations, and even Israeli testimonies have followed one another, all confirming the reality of the genocide committed by Israel under the eyes of the world since October 2023.

A United Nations commission this month published a report saying that Israel has deliberately targeted Palestinian children since 7 October 2023, and that it committed genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in the process.

Since then, the UN has come under ferocious attack, while one senior journalist was smeared simply for drawing attention to the report. 

When Alex Crawford of Sky News highlighted the UN findings on X (formerly Twitter), former Jewish Chronicle editor Jake Wallis Simons accused her of “the usual baseless propaganda, amplified by the usual players, serving the usual dark agenda”.

Columnist Stephen Pollard, who writes for the Telegraph and other mainstream outlets, reposted Crawford’s tweet, saying: “Gosh - whoever would have expected @AlexCrawfordSky to post stories that don’t have any evidence supporting them, just to be able to libel the world’s only Jewish state? I’m shocked!”

Israel’s foreign ministry echoed these attacks, calling the UN report a “libellous sham” and “a propaganda piece as outrageous as its previous ones”.

Palestinian goalkeeper Saleem al-Ashqar was killed earlier this week by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) said in a statement on Monday, prompting tributes from football supporters, journalists, fans, and the public on social media.

The PFA said the 32-year-old was killed by Israeli army fire. With Ashqar's death, the association said the number of Palestinian sports figures killed since the start of Israel's war on Gaza has risen to 1,009, inclu

Mding 567 members of the Palestinian football community. It added that Ashqar had married just five months ago and was expecting his first child with his wife.

A relative of Ashqar told Wafa that the goalkeeper was returning home from work when Israeli forces opened fire on unarmed civilians northeast of Hamad City, striking him in the chest. The relative described him as "one of the finest young men" in the community.

News of his death quickly spread online, prompting many to question Fifa's continued refusal to suspend Israel.

The Holocaust Museum LA on Saturday deleted a social media post stating in block letters that "'Never again' can't only mean never again for Jews," on an illustrated image of interlocking human arms of different shades. 

"Standing with humanity does not betray our people," the following slide said. "It honours them."

Within a day, the post was gone, and they promised to "do better".

“We recently posted an item on social media that was part of a pre-planned campaign intended to promote inclusivity and community that was easily open to misinterpretation by some to be a political statement reflecting the ongoing situation in the Middle East. That was not our intent,” a later post said.

"It has been removed to avoid any further confusion," the museum added. "We promise to do better".

A screenshot of the original image released by the California museum was captured by Ryan Grim, co-founder of Dropsite News. 

"Speechless. No words for this," he captioned in a post on X.

"Think about how many people must have complained about this first message to get them to delete it and even issue an apology," he wrote. "If you denounce genocide, some might think you’re being critical of Israel and we can’t have that". 

The Forward news outlet, which targets a Jewish American audience, noted that Jews who have rallied against gun violence in the US and against China's crackdown on the Uyghur minority have used the phrase "never again" for their causes, but others oppose it for anything but the Holocaust of World War II.

The destruction of villages in southern Lebanon was inevitable from the beginning of Israel’s invasion, an Israeli minister openly admitted on Monday.

Defence Minister Israel Katz said during a briefing with military correspondents that “it was clear during Operation Silver Plow that the Shia villages along the contact line had to disappear”.

He hinted that the Israeli military sought the total destruction of border towns along the "Yellow Line", the buffer zone south of the Litani River.

Deepening this zone ultimately aims at the demilitarisation of Hezbollah and the Israeli army, Katz said, adding that the army “will not retreat an inch” before this happens.

Under the expansive Montana sky, hundreds of members and descendants of 19 tribal nations gather at one of America's most famous battlefields. They're here to watch as Native American riders on horseback charge onto the same land their ancestors did 150 years ago when they defeated the U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry under the command of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer.

The riders race across the dry landscape — kicking up clouds of dust before circling at the top of a hill at Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. Some of them are wearing headdresses and regalia, others are wearing tank tops and T-shirts. Many of them are carrying their tribal flags in a show of unity — the same unity that made possible their swift victory on June 25, 1876.

"It was so important then, 150 years ago. ... It's important today still," said Gaby Strong, who is Sisseton-Wahpeton and Mdewakanton. "Our victories are still possible."

Custer's goal was to force Native Americans onto reservations. After the 1874 discovery of gold in the Black Hills, Indigenous peoples living off reservations were directed to report to their U.S. field offices, called Indian Agencies, or be deemed hostile.
