"Israeli army arrests the entire Al Jazeera crew and destroys the broadcasting vehicles in the yard of the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, according to local sources."
"Israeli occupation soldiers arrest Al Jazeera correspondent Ismael Al Ghoul after beating him up inside the Al Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City."
Is Ismael part of Hamas?
He's more dangerous than Hamas, he's a journalist exposing Israel's crimes
So Israel has a right to beat him and arrest him, because they don't feel safe. Makes perfect sense
"UNRWA: "The destruction inflicted on the Gaza Strip has resulted in the formation of approximately 23 million tons of rubble. It will take years to remove the debris and dispose of unexploded ordnance.""
And Israel should pay for ALL damages and reconstruction
“Music, art and academia,” he wrote, “is about crossing borders not building them, about open minds not closed ones, about shared humanity, dialogue and freedom of expression.”

"I have always believed that music inhabits a world set apart from politics"

"Israel's military published footage of its forces supervising the construction of the American pier off the Gaza coast.

"Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo: "I see today there is a very large population [in Gaza] at risk of famine. It's up to Israel to prove that famine won’t be used as a weapon of war.""
"HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE!! CHILDREN ARE BEING KIDNAPPED BY ISRAELI SOLDIERS!!!
This is disturbing and terrifying. Watching as every single day more children, and many under the age of 10, are rounded up and thrown into military vehicles by team of Israelii soldiers."
“If some sort of a truce happens or was successful, I think what we will see is a bit more of reconstruction of forces, repairing of some of the armoured vehicles and also rearming them to be much more effective in the next round,” Ashour told Al Jazeera.
The visit by Gantz, who is expected to meet senior US administration officials, comes as US Vice President Harris called for an “immediate” pause in the fighting.
“At a time when Palestinians are being slaughtered by a Germany-backed army at an unprecedented rate, and at a time of rising totalitarianism in German institutions, it is more important now than ever that good people reject anti-Palestinian racism assertively and publicly, and boycott the organisations that spread or give cover to that racism,” El-Kurd told Al Jazeera.
Representatives from Aish Hatorah synagogue in Toronto, Canada, insult a pro-Palestine man who registered for a #kellerwilliamsrealty seminar where stolen Palestinian land in illegal settlements in occupied West Bank is listed for sale, all with the help of Toronto police despite the sales being illegal under Canadian and international law.

I watched the video of the Active Duty Serviceman, Aaron Bushnell, who self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy. The man was blurred/censored in the video I saw as soon as he lit himself on fire but you can see the flames obviously and the audio is clear.
I will not share the video here. You can find it yourself if you wish. But I will share his final words. Very few people in history have done this (most often buddhists, I wonder if he was buddhist) extreme act of self-sacrifice for a cause. Bushnell is the second I know of to attempt this about the current #IsraelGaza war. The first, I believe, to perish. Here are his words from the video:
"I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
— He places his camera/tripod on the ground pointing towards the embassy fence, puts on his uniform cap, douses himself in fuel, takes a deep breath, says "Free Palestine”, and lights himself on fire. —
He screams Free Palestine a couple more times.
RIP sir.
I won't describe how the rest unfolds, his act should stand alone.
