They did their duty to not reported what was an obviously planted political false story. Yeah, they should be strongly congratulated for that since nearly every other outlet repeated that literal fake news.

I imagine all human migrations resulted in genocide - everywhere they happened. This isn't Europe specific. ...it's not even human specific as other animals do the same thing.

There is no evidence of torture whatsoever. This is a strange lie you keep posting with your link to 972mag, a biased Palestinian defense magazine. If you dig a little deeper at what the actual accountant's lawyer said - he said his c

In 2018 all payment processors (MC/Visa/Amex) banned payments to Al-Haq due to allegations that they forwarded money to PFLP, so this is not new news. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/E-8-201

Firstly, your source is incredibly biased - it is a Palestinian advocacy organization. Secondly, you make the claim that they attained the evidence by torture - with no evidence of such. The fact remains that two Palestinian accountants tes

This is not correct. In winter months, solar produces one tenth the power it does in summer - and even that is on average . One cloudy January, and people would live in the dark for a month.

Also, for those who don't know - you can use 1.1.1.2 which blocks all known Malware domains, and 1.1.1.3 to also block all adult content. There's also always dns.adguard.com to block Ads (which is what I use on my phone).
