The Israeli massacre in Gaza's Nuseirat camp killed over 270 Palestinians and injured many more. Survivors say the horrors they witnessed will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
The hostages—Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40—have been transferred to Sheba Tel-HaShomer Medical Center near Tel Aviv.
Israel has vowed to persist with its military operation in Gaza, saying it won’t engage in “meaningless” negotiations with Hamas, shortly after the United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly approved a US-backed ceasefire plan intended to bring an end to the eight-month war.
The difference between Israel and Hamas is clear, one a democracy (with problems) and the other is a terrorist organisation. At the same time it means Israel's actions should maintain high standards with regard to innocent victims. They seem to be failing in that respect... #gaza#hamas#israel
Of course I am truly happy for the 4 hostages and their families to be reunited today. But I cannot stand Western media and leaders celebrating this today without even mentioning that 200 Palestinians were killed during the rescue and that IDF soldiers - as I understand it - came hidden on humanitarian aid trucks, using the humanitarian pier. And that none of this would have been necessary if Israel had accepted any of the ceasefire deals #Gaza 1/2 https://mastodon.green/@pvonhellermannn/112342311753280104

Palestinian Christians suffer from a crisis of representation, as some church leaders and community members disassociate from the Palestinian struggle and perpetuate the perception that they are a "minority."
I was born in the Nuseirat refugee camp and it made me who I am. The Nuseirat massacre will not be the last in Gaza, but like all massacres committed by colonialists, it will be a signpost in our long walk to freedom that will not be forgotten.
“The humanitarian pier facility, including its equipment, personnel, and assets were not used in the operation to rescue hostages today in #Gaza,” says US Central Command. “An area south of the facility was used by the Israelis to safely return the hostages to Israel. Any such claim to the contrary is false. The temporary pier on the coast of Gaza was put in place for one purpose only, to help move additional, urgently needed lifesaving assistance into Gaza.”
The Israeli army bombed Gazans in their tents in the "safe zone" where it told them to go. Eyewitnesses told Mondoweiss most of the dead were burned alive or decapitated and dismembered, many of them children.
4 Israeli #hostages have been #rescued alive from #Gaza, the Israeli military said Sat. #Israel’s forces rescued Noa Argamani, 26; Almog Meir Jan, 22; Andrey Kozlov, 27; & Shlomi Ziv, 41, from 2 locations in #Nuseirat in central Gaza, the #IDF said in a stmnt. ≥125 people were #killed in the operation.
All “are in good medical condition” & have been transferred to a hospital for further medical examinations, the IDF said.
There are dangerous signs Israel intends to escalate attacks on Lebanon and raise the stakes with Hezbollah. If it does, the risk of a regional war grows enormously. The only way out is to end the fighting in Gaza.
Families of Palestinian prisoners are kept in the dark about the fate of their loved ones at a time when Israeli prison authorities are creating conditions unfit for human life.
The unfolding genocide in Gaza is the latest chapter in Israel’s attempt to remove Palestinians from their land. All those calling for a ceasefire should join in the longer-term efforts to dismantle Israeli apartheid.
#ClimateDiary A short 🧵 on why #Gaza is, and should be, a concern for the climate movement. I know the vast majority of you lovely people on here do see the connection, but just in case some of you don't, I wanted to briefly outline this. For me, there are four separate, key reasons why Gaza is not a "distraction"; why all climate activists should speak out on it. #ClimateAction 1/5
Unwavering Western support for Israel's onslaught on Gaza has made it crystal clear that our governments do not care about killing of 10,000s of people; about the wholesale destruction of a land. These are not the people to rely on for climate action! They will not do it! The climate movement needs to see this, and indeed many do: there is a real shift in tactics from trying to appeal to those in power to act, to active resistance. #Gaza is teaching us this.
