A viscerally nauseating spectacle. Imagine SS officers, shielded and protected by anonymity, getting a 25-minute standing ovation for recounting their tortures and murders. Criminal perpetrators should only be heard at their trials not at gala celebrations.
Nobody needs to watch this, especially when he is protecting the identities of the killers.
We have heard from Palestinians for decades how systematic killing operates.
There is zero reason for colonisers to explain what they've done, as they are still doing it.
Just grim.
Italy where this has taken place has hundreds of Gazans who were evacuated for treatment, education, or family reunion. They bore the brunt of the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Not a single victim was invited. Not a single one, even children were not.
“We will continue to broadcast the truth, reality and crimes of the Israeli occupation until our last breath….”
Lebanese journalist Fatima Ftouni after surviving a previous Israeli bombing.
I have not forgotten, and I will never forget, what Israel did to us when it bombed civilians who went to search for food from the trucks at a time when the famine had reached its absolute peak.
This happened two years ago.
Israel has hit Iran's airport, presidency and national security compound, and other residential areas.
No way anyone in this world can defend this. Utter depravity and total impunity funded by Western governments.

كنا نعيش في الأنفاق ليلنا ونهارنا، ولا نرى الشمس والدنيا إلا قليلاً، وكما أخبرتكم سابقاً: الأنفاق ليست فنادق، ولا حتى بيوت الأنفاق كالقبور، ولكنه الدين والواجب ورضى الله الذي يهون في سبيله كل شيء، والجنة التي لا تُدرك بالنعيم في الدنيا، بل لا بد من هجر الراحة وامتطاء أسنة التعب لبلوغ الغاية.
أصيب أحد الإخوة في الأنفاق أثناء الحفر والترميم، فذهبت لأطمئن عليه في وقت متأخر من الليل، فزرته وواسيته، ثم وأنا عائد في ممر النفق إلى العقدة القتالية رأيتُ أحد قيادات المجاهدين يصلي في ممر النفق قيام الليل، فصليت معه، فكان يقرأ الفاتحة بصوت خاشع ثم تلا بعض آيات القرآن، ثم دعا وأنا أؤمن على دعائه، وهذا الرجل من أكثر الرجال صرامة وحزماً، لكن مقام التهجد مقام تذلل وخضوع بين يدي الله، فسمعته يدعو وحفظت دعاءه، قال: يا ربِّ من أجل الأحجار والأطيار والأشجار، يا رب من أجل الحفاظ والقُرَّاء والعلماء، يا ربَّ من أجل المحاريب والمآذن والمساجد، يا رب من لهذه الترسانة إلا أنت يا رب لا تخيب رجاءنا، يا رب أمرتنا بالإعداد فأعددنا، وأمرتنا بالثبات فثبتنا، يا رب سدد رمينا واحفظ من تبقى من رجالنا يا رب حملتني كثيراً فخفف عني، لا تكاد تغيب هذه الكلمات عن بالي والله!!.
أصحاب التهجد والانكسار بين يدي الله هم الذين يفتح الله عليهم، وهم أهل المقامات العالية المحمودة، وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِ نَافِلَةً لَّكَ عَسَىٰ أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُودًا [الإسراء: 79].
There is no international media here to broadcast this to the American and European public.
Shame on you, reporting non-stop from Jerusalem and areas just kilometers away, while pretending your hands are tied.
“Oh, Israel isn’t allowing us into Gaza!”
How about not allowing yourselves into Israel as a response? (“voluntary ban on journalists” if one can describe it as such.)
This is one of the most heartbreaking scenes.
Families of missing Palestinians—whether killed in Gaza by Israel and their bodies then held hostage, or abducted by Israel and later killed under torture—sit in front of a screen, desperately hoping to recognize a loved one among the bodies returned through the ICRC.
These hostages were returned not with names, but as numbers.
In bags.
With visible signs of torture.
Blindfolded.
Handcuffed.
Some were even hanged.
And yet, no journalists are reporting live to their channels on these hostages.
No one follows their funerals.
No interviews with their parents, children, uncles, aunts, neighbors, or friends.
Unlike the intense, wall-to-wall coverage given to the few hostages, just a few kilometers
Khalid Saifi a human rights defender has spent 1,991 days in jail for daring to speak against discriminatory CAA.
No conviction, No justice.
After 5 years, he's finally granted 10 days' bail just to see his ailing son.
This is not democracy, This is punishment for dissent.
Sinwar’s Palace
Hamas official Jasser Al-Barghouti: I went to Yahya al-Sinwar’s house, and we couldn’t find a place to sit because it was so small, even though he is Abu Ibrahim, the man in charge of all the resources of the Gaza government.
When we couldn’t find space inside, Yahya Sinwar laid out a mat at the entrance of the house, and we sat there.
As we sat, I said to him:
“Abu Ibrahim, you’re the leader of Hamas. Your home, where people come to visit you, should be spacious.”
He replied:
“I have an office that fits everyone. This house is for close company. . And I live by a principle: the smaller your house is in this world, the bigger it will be in the Hereafter.”
"Indian Muslims are invited to speak on a public subject (only) to condemn acts of violence where the perpetrators are Muslims...Not on the CAA, not on Waqf amendments..." said Supreme Court lawyer Shahrukh Alam.
Here are some facts about the disarmament of Palestinians:
1.Around 475,000 are @UN UNRWA-registered Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
2.The PLO disarmed in Lebanon on August 21, 1982.
3.The Sabra and Shatila massacres occurred on September 16, 1982.
REPOST, please!
🗣️Young Dr Mohammad al Nimnim was one of these three people used by israeli occupation forces as human shields in #Jabalia!
🗣️He was kidnapped along with hundreds of civilians after they had been forced out of the blockaded refugee camp!
🗣️He was used as a human shield for 10 days!
🗣️When he was released, he walked 10 metres from the military checkpoint and an israeli soldier shot and killed him without any reason!
RIP Dr Mohammad!
Attended the screening of Khurram Murad and Thoufeeq K’s immensely moving documentary on suqut e Hyderabad in 1948, produced by @MaktoobMedia. I hope they screen in other cities and universities soon.
