British Woman Pensioner Slams Israel in Viral TikTok: Free Palestine
A TikTok video featuring an elderly English pensioner woman has garnered significant attention, sparking debate with her unfiltered views on religious and geopolitical matters. The woman, who identifies herself as a 'simple pensioner' and 'old English woman,' delivers a passionate monologue asserting a black-and-white perspective on morality and legality. 'I see things in black and white. I don't see any colour around it. Things are either good or they're evil,' she emphatically states, adding, 'They're either legal or they're illegal.'
The woman directly addresses the concept of a 'chosen people,' questioning their divine favor by referencing biblical narratives. She highlights the Israelites' creation of idols while Moses was on Mount Sinai, stating, 'God wasn't very happy, was he? He punished you, didn't he?' The pensioner points to the 40-year wandering in the desert as evidence of God's displeasure. Breaking Commandments
She accuses the Israelis of breaking three of God's commandments, stating, 'Thou shalt not kill. The first one. I mean, you've killed thousands. So, that's one commandment, you know.' She believes these commandments are not suggestions but orders from God, and they have broken them.
She continues, 'Love thy neighbor. Well, you certainly haven't done that, have you? So, that's the second commandment that you've broken. Thou shalt not steal. Well, you've stolen, haven't you? You've stolen their land.' Call to Action
The pensioner concludes with a strong call to action, urging, 'Do the right thing. Free Palestine. Free them. You're killing every single one of them.' She believes they are the most hated nation on earth and will face divine punishment, reiterating, 'Do the right thing, Satan, yahoo. Free Palestine. Let them go. Let them.'
The video has sparked conversations online, with many people sharing their thoughts on the pensioner's powerful message. Her call to free Palestine has resonated with many, while others debate the validity of her claims online.

Brazil's outspoken first lady is coming under fire, but she refuses to stop speaking out
SAO PAULO: In early May, an air of triumph filled a dinner in Beijing, where Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva celebrated a diplomatic victory: businessmen traveling with him said they had secured billions of dollars in investments as the veteran leader renewed his international prestige standing alongside his Chinese counterpart, Xi then Brazilian first lady Rosângela da Silva, better known as Janja, raised her no one was expected to speak, da Silva addressed Xi, saying that Chinese social media company TikTok posed a challenge for leftists, claiming its algorithm favors right-wingers. China's president reportedly answered. The exchange was leaked to Brazilian media by the time dessert was government is grappling with unpopularity that has dented his credentials as the frontrunner for reelection next year. Some analysts, including members of his government, attribute this partly to his wife's perceived overstepping in what was once a ceremonial a 58-year-old sociologist, has drawn criticism for insulting tech billionaire Elon Musk, mocking the suicide of a pro-Jair Bolsonaro supporter and advising the president on how to use the military during the Jan. 8, 2023 riots in the capital, Brasilia. Still, she insists she will speak out whenever it serves the public interest.A Datafolha poll released June 12 found that 36 percent of Brazilians think the first lady's actions hurt the government, while 14 percent say they are helpful. It was the pollster's first measure of the first lady's same poll showed Lula with a 40 percent job disapproval rating, an 8 percentage point increase from October presidency said in a statement to The Associated Press on June 20 that da Silva adheres to the solicitor-general's office guidelines, adding that she 'acts as a citizen, combining her public visibility with the experience she has built throughout her professional career in support of relevant social issues and matters of public interest.''Undue interference'Under guidelines published by the solicitor-general's office, the president's spouse primarily fulfills 'a symbolically representative role on behalf of the president in a social, cultural, ceremonial, political or diplomatic nature.' For many of her critics, this does not grant her the authority to speak as a government media have reported that government ministers, lawmakers and staunch leftist campaigners are privately raising concerns about the first lady being a hindrance more than an asset. These worries have skyrocketed since the incident in China — even as Lula himself has praised his wife for speaking out.'It looks like Brazil is governed by a couple,' said Beatriz Rey, a political science postdoctoral and research fellow at the University of Lisbon. 'When (the first lady) says there won't be any protocols to silence her, she disrespects our democratic institutions for she has no elected office, no government position. It is not about being a woman or a feminist. It is undue interference.''Present and vocal'Lula's first wife, Maria de Lourdes, died in 1971. His second, Marisa Letícia, died in 2017. Lula, 79, and Janja said they met in 2017 and started seeing each other frequently during the leftist leader's 580 days in jail in the city of Curitiba between 2018 and 2019. They married in supporters of Lula's Workers' Party partly attribute the criticism against the first lady to misinformation and disinformation. In May, the party launched the 'I am with Janja' social media campaign in her defense. But the week-long effort garnered less than 100,000 views and only a few hundred comments.'Janja is an asset because she rejuvenates Lula, everyone in the government understands that, even her critics,' a Brazilian government source told the AP. 'No one wants to alienate her. But many important people in Brasilia, friends and allies of Lula, do understand that by overstepping she brings some of her rejection to the president.'The source, who spoke under condition of anonymity for lack of authorization to speak about the matter publicly, often travels with the president and the first Negreiros, a journalist who profiled the first lady for a 2024 podcast titled 'Janja,' said that allies of the president who criticize her do it with extreme caution.'(Janja) dances, sings, speaks out, appears at official events and meetings with heads of state. She insists on being present and vocal,' Negreiros said. 'There's a lot of sexism and misogyny directed at her, no doubt. But not all criticism is sexist.''She will say what she wants'Da Silva said she doesn't go to dinners 'just to accompany' her husband.'I have common sense. I consider myself an intelligent person. So I know very well what my limits are. I'm fully aware of that,' she told a podcast of daily Folha de S. Silva did, however, express remorse during the same podcast for the expletive she used against Musk in 2024, once a close ally of US President Donald of Lula's adversaries say they want the first lady to remain in the spotlight.'The more she speaks, the more she holds a microphone, the more she helps the right wing,' said Nikolas Ferreira, one of Brazil's most popular right-wing a prominent social media figure, claims the role of regulating social media is a matter for Brazil's Congress, not for the first lady to debate with foreign leaders like Silva is also expected to play as a keen hostess at the BRICS summit in Rio on July 6-7, a role her husband is almost certain not to oppose.'She will be wherever she wants,' Lula told journalists in March following criticism for sending the first lady as his representative to a nutrition summit in Paris that month.'She will say what she wants and go wherever she wants.'

Three Palestinians killed during Israeli settler attack on West Bank village
JERUSALEM — Three Palestinians have been shot dead after dozens of Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian authorities say. Video footage from Kafr Malik, near Ramallah, on Wednesday night showed a car and a home on fire and Palestinians running away as gunfire is heard. The Israeli military said forces deployed to the scene found settlers and villagers throwing stones at each other. It added that several "terrorists" opened fire and threw stones at the forces, who returned fire and identified hits. They also arrested five Israelis. The Palestinian foreign ministry said settlers fired at villagers in their homes during what it called their "terrorist assault". The ministry also said Israeli forces prevented ambulance crews from reaching the wounded and obstructed fire crews from entering the village for several hours. Israel has built about 160 settlements housing some 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land Palestinians want, along with Gaza, for a hoped-for future state - in the 1967 Middle East war. An estimated 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside vast majority of the international community considers the settlements illegal under international law - a position supported by an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year - although Israel disputes after the incident in Kafr Malik, there was another attack in the Palestinian community of Dar Fazaa, near the village of human rights group BTselem said three people were injured and three cars were torched. It posted CCTV footage showing a group of at least 10 masked men setting one car on fire and throwing stones."The settler violence and rampage, under the protection of the occupation army, is a political decision by the Israeli government, implemented by the settlers," Palestinian Vice-President Hussein al-Sheikh wrote on X."The Israeli government's behaviour and decisions are pushing the region toward an explosion. We call on the international community to urgently intervene to protect our Palestinian people."There has been a sharp increase in the number and severity of settler attacks in the West Bank since Hamas's attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which triggered the war in UN has recorded 487 attacks by settlers resulting in casualties or property damage in the first four months of this year, including 122 in April. At least 181 Palestinians were reportedly injured by settlers in the rights organisations and witnesses say the Israeli military and police frequently stand by while settlers attack Palestinian towns and expansion has also risen sharply, since a right-wing, pro-settler governing coalition headed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office in late has so far decided to establish 49 new settlements and begin the legalisation process for seven settler outposts which were built without government authorisation, according to the Israeli anti-settlement watchdog Peace month, Israeli ministers said 22 new settlements had been approved across the length and width of the West Bank, hailing it as a move that "prevents the establishment of a Palestinian state that would endanger Israel". — BBC
