Netanyahu is losing the confidence of Israelis, his cabinet, leaders around the world…. who support Israel’s right to defend itself, but not his leadership, methods, schemes…
“This evidence of Israel's war crime of perfidy comes not from Palestinians but a RW Israeli newspaper: "the special force entered Nuseirat with a truck carrying 'furniture' for displaced persons....driven by a female soldier in civilian clothes."
-K Roth
"Benny Gantz resigns from Israel's war cabinet, delivering a blow to PM Benjamin Netanyahu who has been celebrating the rescue of hostages held in Gaza."
It's wonderful that the hostages were freed, but why was there no effort to protect civilians?
Largest hostage rescue op. since the latest war began, taking 4 to safety out of central Gaza amid the MIL’s heavy air & ground assault. At least 94 dead Palestinians,💔incl. children, were brought to local hospitals.
Israelis were jubilant as the army said it freed N Argamani, 25; A Meir Jan, 21; A Kozlov, 27; & S Ziv, 40 -all were well.
>36K #Palestinians killed +face widespread hunger bc fighting & Israeli restrictions have largely cut off the flow of aid. On Thurs, an Israeli airstrike hit a U.N.-run school compound -killing over 33 ppl inside the school, including 3 women & 9 children. IL said some 30 militants were inside & on Fri released the names of 17 -said were killed. Only 9 of those matched records from the hospital morgue. One was an 8-year-old boy.
“The strike happened around 2 a.m. And from what we understand, there are between 35 & 45 people killed. Many of them are children.
We also remind that this being an UNRWA shelter, up to 6,000 people had sought refuge & safety inside that school”
“We’ve been hearing about precision strikes and about reports that some of the UNRWA or U.N. installations have been used by Palestinian armed groups. We hear about this every time a strike kills scores of civilians in or near our buildings.”
“Since the beginning of this war, Gazans have been issued what the Israeli government calls evacuation orders. In reality, these are orders for forced displacement.”
“A ceasefire is what everyone in Gaza needs right now, just to take a breath and have some respite. But in addition to the ceasefire, there has to be a much increased flow of humanitarian assistance going in”
‘We turn now to that new film, that explores the struggle of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation through themes of loss, trauma and the fight for justice. It’s called Where Olive Trees Weep.’
“I would see it and still get surprised every single time, that how could this soldier just shoot me? We are so dehumanized, to the point where they can come and they can exterminate you, because, to them, you’re nothing but a rat.” #Ceasefire#Gaza#genocide#WarCrimes#Palestine#FreePalestine

“this whole Western theory about balanced reporting. If you’re being balanced in a situation of a genocide, then you’re complicit in genocide. There’s no white and black in this.”
‘ the U.N. food agency has issued a dire warning, stating, “Over one million people — half the population of Gaza — are expected to face death and starvation by mid-July” if Israel’s war on Gaza does not end’
‘Karin Huster, a medical adviser with Doctors Without Borders in Gaza, said there has been an “insane escalation of hostilities” across the Gaza Strip over the last two days.’
‘One whistleblower shared photographs that showed Palestinians being strapped down, blindfolded and held in diapers at the site. Some prisoners had limbs amputated due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing.’
~39 Dead. "IL MIL: made improper use of a US-made bomb in a deadly airstrike Thurs on a UN school compound in Gaza -current & fmr US DEF officials. GBU-39 small-diameter bomb -same kind of bomb that IL used in an airstrike last month that killed dozens of displaced civilians at a tent camp -#Netanyahu called a “tragic mishap.”
