"The #protesters carried a banner that said “It is right to rebel, #Hillel go to hell,” with an inverted red triangle on it, which has come to signify support for #Hamas on social media because the terror group uses the symbol in videos of its attacks. The student demonstrators repeatedly formed inverted triangles with their hands, flashing the symbol at the counter-protesters. Another protester brandished a banner that had a #swastika inside a Star of David while shouting: “#Synagogue of Satan.”
The pro- #Palestinian, anti- #Israel demonstrators chanted “From #CUNY to #Gaza, globalize the #intifada,” and “Hillel, Hillel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”
The the morning of May 11, the #Israeli army spokesperson announced that the #military had begun a new operation in #Jabalia, the city and adjacent refugee camp in northern #Gaza. Evacuation orders were issued to #Palestinian residents of several neighborhoods, but many have been unable to leave; others have decided to stay, given the lack of any safe areas throughout the Strip.
The latest Israeli attack on the camp, involving both aircraft and ground troops, has had devastating consequences: the #army has bombed and bulldozed entire residential squares, markets, and food warehouses, exacerbating the already desperate humanitarian crisis, while corpses remain scattered in the streets.
Sabri Abu Al-Nasr, 43 years old, is a resident of the camp who took refuge in the #UNRWA-affiliated Al-Fakhoura #School, in an attempt to escape the Israeli bombing. “The conditions in the camp are terrible, and no one is spared from the artillery and air bombardment,” he told +972. “Israeli snipers are on high buildings — they shoot at every moving object.
On Oct. 29, Abu Al-Nasr lost his wife Nisreen (40) and his children Nisma (16), Hamza (14), and Mohammad (13) when Israel bombed a residential square adjacent to the family’s home. Their bodies remain trapped under the rubble, preventing Abu al-Nasr from being able to properly bury his loved ones. Seven months later, amid a new Israeli assault, he says “the smell of death and blood wafts throughout the camp.”

from #NewYorkTimes [expires in 30 days] #NYU Nurse Is Fired After Calling the #Gaza War a ‘Genocide’ in Speech
NYU #LangoneHealth gave the nurse, #HesenJabr, an award for her work. She said hospital officials then fired her because she made pro- #Palestinian remarks in an acceptance speech.
"If the #Israeli assault stopped today, and we decided to hold a funeral every single day for each #Palestinian killed in the last eight months, it would take us 100 years to honor them all."
The Palestinian speaker at the #UN Security Council highlights the devastating toll of casualties among #Palestinians resulting from the Israeli #genocide in #Gaza.
"Do enough people yet notice how the pundits outraged over the fabricated story of 40 beheaded babies last October seem to have nothing to say about the horrifying reality of beheaded #Palestinian babies in #Rafah happening right now?"
It's Part One of the plan. Israel's i24News just published Part Two of the plan between the 1pm and 2pm hour (CDT, that is): selling new luxury residence developments by hawking Tel Aviv real estate but making a point on the side that "peripheral" sites are cheaper. 3 different real estate developers were featured plus legal advice via a real estate lawyer.
