"In addition to producing calls for law and order, this panic serves to reinforce the dominant ideology in manifold ways. Most people, aware of the horrors of antisemitism, rightly dread contributing to anti-Jewish racism. If told they risk perpetuating antisemitism, they may opt out of engaging with the Palestinian cause altogether..."
Israel dropped 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza Strip since last October, exceeding World War II bombings in Dresden, Hamburg, London combined, according to rights monitor.
(Please ignore misleading headline - it is not more than all ww2 bombs)
Daily briefing by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on day 242 of the Israeli genocide:
⭕ The Israeli occupation committed 7 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, resulting in 71 documented fatalities and 182 injuries.
⭕ The documented Palestinian death toll has risen to 36,550 martyrs and 82,959 injuries since the seventh of last October.
⭕ The figures above only refer to the cases transported to hospitals and registered in the records of the Ministry of Health.
⭕ An unknown number of victims are still unaccounted for or missing under the rubble, as ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
Israeli Jewish-supremacist Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir: "Every house in #Gaza has a picture of Al-Aqsa Mosque. We must break into their holiest site."
Why isn't this monster sanctioned by the western leaders? How far does he need to go before they take action against this JewishKKK leader?
Can we treat this monster like holocaust deniers at least?or is it too much to ask?
Health workers killed in the Gaza war have included 55 highly qualified specialists who were seeking to create a healthcare system for a Palestinian state.
Palestinian children suffering massive trauma, both physical and emotional as war drags on. Homes and schools destroyed, families killed, no hope… Is this what we’ve become? #Gaza#IsraelHamasWar#Palestine#War#Children#WarCrimes
Since October 7, scholars have debated whether Israel’s actions meet the legal threshold of genocide. A meticulous new report finds the evidence is clear and overwhelming.
A tiny selection from recent pro-Palestinian student protests in Warsaw.
Students at several Warsaw universities loudly demand them to cut ties with Israeli institutions supporting genocide in Palestine. Since the university authorities seem not be listening despite rounds of negotiations, the occupation protest at a park near the university goes on. More universitities across the country are joining in as we speak.
For me, a noob documentary snapshotter, it's a huge lesson on activism, solidarity and principles. I've never received a lesson like this when I was their age.
NYT—Breaking News: President #Biden said that #Hamas was no longer capable of carrying out a major terrorist attack on #Israel and declared that it was time for a permanent cease-fire in #Gaza. “It’s time for this war to end,” he said.
"Israel’s actions likely met Lemkin’s original definition long before the war on Gaza. Starting in 1947, roughly 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled by Israel & barred from returning."
Lemkin wrote about how his original definition of genocide had been undermined in its codification:
"They want nonenforceable laws with many loopholes in them, so that they can manage life like currency in a bank.”
Almost no facilities remain to treat the wounded in Gaza's southernmost city, as doctors fear a repeat of Israel's attacks on hospitals across the Strip.
“We later found out that Hamas had offered on October 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the government rejected the offer.”
It is unbearable to think what the remaining hostages and their families have been going through all this time. Netanyahu does not care about the hostages. Just as he does not care about people in #Gaza.
Israel's far-right wants the killings to continue!
Two far-right Israeli ministers have threatened to resign from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition government over a cease-fire proposal outlined by President Biden on Friday. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Israel#gaza#Hamas
Scarlett Wong, a clinical psychologist for Doctors Without Borders, or Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), travelled to Gaza in March.
Part of her role was to locate and support 17,000 unaccompanied children, including "child heads of households" — the term given to young children who had to look after their siblings.
“Providing this data as input for Lavender undermines their claim that #WhatsApp is a private messaging app,” he wrote. “It is beyond obscene and makes #Meta complicit in Israel’s killings of ‘pre-crime’ targets and their families, in violation of international humanitarian law and Meta’s publicly stated commitment to human rights.
Amid the chaos and destruction of war, the Gaza Community Mental Health Program stands as a glimmer of hope for agonized and neglected Palestinians struggling to survive the Israeli genocide.
