In Gaza crowds of hungry people are stopping aid trucks to eat on the spot.

Of all the horrific headlines today, this is the most crushing. Israel is creating famine in Gaza. Imagine this as people are being displaced and mutilated by nonstop Israeli bombs. Enough of this hell.

[Lowkey @Lowkey0nline]

The Israeli military forced families to evacuate Al Nasr Hospital, leaving behind their premature babies in the intensive care unit. Israel refused to release the babies.

The decomposed bodies of those babies have been found during this truce.

Well done Ada!

True story. #CeasefireNOW #PeaceForGAZA

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

EVERY LINE OF THIS!

Imagine your people being slaughtered indiscriminately. Yet you manage to softly, calmly, and with unparalleled dignity demolish the forces killing your children.

That is what the brilliant representative of @Palestine_UN did at the UN yesterday.

From Scotland to Ireland, Germany to France, Cuba to Yemen, Spain to Poland, Iran to Indonesia, South Korea to Turkey, Japan to South Africa, Canada to the U.S., and beyond, the people of the world are rising up in MASSIVE numbers to denounce Israel’s genocide in Palestine.

[Dr. Mads Gilbert @DrMadsGilbert]

The "people of the light" radiate only darkness:
ISrael continues to starve Palestinians in Gaza while bombing them. But, in an apparent act of infinite kindness, the "people of the light" are now "allowing" fuel into Gaza - 70.000 litres a day. Divided by 2,2 million people = 30ml (1 fl. oz) a day/person.
As it turns out, though, this is meant to run basic water and sewer treatment only in order to prevent epidemics from breaking out. Because empidemics can harm - you guessed it - the attacking ISraeli troops. Or, as was their concern years ago, to prevent an outbreak of for example polio from drifting north along the cost to….ISrael.

In short, the motivation is to protect ISraelis only.
No empathy, compassion or mercy involved.
Only pitch-black fascist darkness,
free from the slightest glimmer of light.

The population in Gaza, half of which are children, is completely exhausted, displaced, starved and indiscriminately bombarded, deprived of everything but their steadfast perseverance to stay on what little land they have left, live and care for each other.
And remember: During the last 16 years (!) of gruelling ISraeli siege, all aspects of life in Gaza depended on generators at least 12 hrs daily due to ISrael's intentional "power outages". Now there is no electricity. Practically no fuel. Only ruins of homes/shelters and a critical lack of warm blankets as winter approaches with wind, rain and dropping temperatures!

What can you do?
A lot. Every action helps.
Just start by Googling "how to help Palestine"
Also: Educate yourself about the occupation.

BREAKING:

⚡Israeli Haaretz:

"The police investigation found that a military helicopter that fired at Hamas on the Nova festival apparently also hit some participants of the festival"

This is confirmation of the video that was circulating that the Apache helicopters killed most of the festival participants who were fleeing the event.

The pilots also admitted that at first they shot at all the cars without knowing which were Hamas and which were civilians.

This is what Netanyahu is hiding from the Israeli public, that the Israeli military is the biggest butcher on October 7th.

Breathtaking Western hypocrisy at its best. #ceasefire #FreePalestine

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Just for one second dare to imagine the West's reaction if Putin's soldiers had invaded a packed Ukrainian hospital, to "denazify" it, prevented staff from treating thousands of injured people - mostly kids -, blown up its water pipers and brought in zero medical supplies.

The IDF ( self-titled, 'most moral army in the world') does this and the so-called 'civilised' world does nothing. Israeli Zionists hides behind the US funded military, cries victim, commits genocide, ethnic cleansing with impunity in full view of world's media. Zionism folks!

[Pelham @Resist_05]

Whilst the IDF have shut down the Al-Shifa hospital and posting kindergarten grade propaganda to justify it… nurses at the overwhelmed Indonesian hospital in Gaza are forced to treat patients in the corner of a crowded room on the floor.

If you are endorsing Israel's Gaza assault by declaring that Israel "has the right to defend itself", then you're also endorsing the Oct. 7th attack.

If Israel can slaughter civilians in the name of "defending itself", then Palestinians can too. They were ethnically cleansed in 1948 and have been occupied since 1967. Israel has refused to end the occupation and rejected the only diplomatic solution with international -- including PLO, Hamas and Arab states - support: an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza, and creation of a Palestinian state there. (A huge compromise for Palestinians in 22% of their ancestral land).

On Oct. 6th, Israeli forces and settlers had already killed 200 Palestinians this year alone (adding to a toll of tens of thousands since 1948). Occupied people have the right to resist military occupation.

Israel had the right to defend itself on Oct. 7th as Palestinian militants attacked it. But it's not Oct. 7th anymore. It's more than one month later, and Israel has killed thousands of Palestinian civilians, including 4,650+ children.

Israel has no right to commit mass murder in the territory it's illegally occupying. Occupiers don't have the right to defend their occupation; they only have the obligation to end it. Which also happens to be the best way that Israel could defend its long-term security, along with everybody else's -- who have just as much of a right to security and self-defense.

Tiny babies lie in rows in an ordinary hospital bed lined with tin foil. The rib cages of the premature newborns stick out through their skin. The foil is to try to stop the babies - who are just a few pounds each & should be in incubators - dying of cold https://t.co/zxKh4JdpRU

@YousefAldarrab @DrMadsGilbert This is leader of the main opposition party in Ireland, NOT the government. So far our government is refusing to expel the Israeli Ambassador. But unlike many European government leaders, at least our leaders have condemned the Israeli targeting of non-combatants, hospitals etc

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Stop this. Now. In the name of what is left of our humanity.

"They gave us water in front of the camera, and after filming was over, they took our luggage, destroyed it, and we ran away while soldiers shoot under our feet."

Survivor testimony of this event.

BREAKING: Israel is now bombing Syria, Gaza and South Lebanon.

Only Israel can bomb 3 different countries in a single day while screaming ‘victim’ at the same time.

[Dr. Mads Gilbert @DrMadsGilbert]

This happened this morning!
 Israeli air strikes first hit Al-Shifa hospital compound during the night, while internally displaced families were sleeping. 
It’s a massacre. The footage horrific. See previous posts.

They hit the fifth floor of the hospital too, the labor and delivery unit.

They hit the entrance of the emergency department and the outpatient clinic - all overcrowded with civilian families seeking safety.
They bombed Al-Awda hospital, paramedics trapped.

This is all in the 5 hours I slept.
I am shivering, pain in my stomach, my heart has ruptured.
STAND UP! DO MORE!
WE must stop this!
The cowards in power smirk with the killers.

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

500 Jews and allies took over the Statue of Liberty in a sit-in to demand @POTUS call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

After shutting down Grand Central Station, we took over the Statue of Liberty — because we won't be silent while the Israeli military wages a genocidal war in our name!

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Palestinians have a right to defend themselves.
