[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

🎥 “Who else is leading a cause that we will glorify in retrospect, but is being vilified in the present?”

Speaking at the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s Global Leadership Forum, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew a direct line from Mandela’s refusal to abandon the Palestinian cause to the fight for global solidarity and Palestinian freedom today.

Recalling how Mandela was branded a terrorist and pressured to renounce his principles, Mamdani asked: “Who are we treating today the way Madiba was treated before history declared him a messiah?”

Citing Omar El Akkad’s book on the genocide in Gaza, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” Mamdani said “justice is not measured by where we stand after history has issued its verdict. It is measured by where we stand when the verdict is still being rendered.”

“Why must Doctor Hussam Abu Safiya wait more than 18 months for freedom in Israeli detention,” he asked, “after the world watched him be kidnapped as he left his hospital?”

“Why must we wait to practice solidarity until it no longer costs us anything?”

Doctors warn that Israel is targeting Lebanon’s health care system, as it did Gaza’s https://t.co/MkMXRmvvn4

The disturbing normality with which Israeli forces executed two Palestinian men who had surrendered shows the impunity for such atrocities that Israeli troops believe they enjoy. The only difference: this time they were filmed. https://t.co/xQ2RaAfIqO

CBC report shows why Canada urgently needs tighter oversight on military exports. When Canadian components can end up in airstrikes abroad, we have a responsibility to act.
That’s why I introduced Bill C-233 to strengthen export-control accountability.

"Israel is breaching international law by continuing to impose restrictions on aid flows into Gaza, where the population remains critically short of food and life-saving goods as winter sets in," says a senior U.N. official. https://t.co/TD0sVuoDvA

[PBS News @NewsHour]

Gaza now has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world.

Before the State Department paused new medical visas for Palestinians in August, a group of children was able to leave Gaza for life-saving medical care here in the U.S. Their stories reveal both resilience and hope.

Watch part of @IAmAmnaNawaz's report.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

More than a dozen Israeli soldiers spoke to ITV for their new documentary Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, about how their army’s two-year campaign in Gaza involved shooting unarmed Palestinians en masse, using teenagers as human shields, and flattening entire neighborhoods without pretext of any threat.

One soldier recalls a man on a roof hanging his washing. A tank brigade 700 meters away decided to label him a “spotter” with no evidence of threat, and blew up half the residential tower, killing and injuring many civilians.

Another remembers two teenage boys quietly pushing a cart, and Israeli soldiers deciding to shoot one in the head, adding: “If they walk too fast, they’re suspicious. If they walk too slow, they’re suspicious. They’re plotting something… If you want to, you can always find a reason to incriminate someone. If I wanted to, I could incriminate the entire Strip.”

“Eli,” another soldier, said his commander reported their unit killed 112 “terrorists” at the end of their deployment— before admitting only one was even suspected of being armed.

Soldiers said they were ordered to “ignore international law” and told to “take revenge on them all.”

Breaking Ranks is horrific, but not surprising. IDF soldiers are now confirming the war crimes Palestinians have reported for two years.
We saw these crimes all along on special media, it's just more proof, and more will come out with time.

Canada can’t ignore this and remain complicit. It's time Parliament recognizes the genocide, holds an inquiry that the Senate has called for, and hold Israel accountable.#cdnpoli

It is still happening: "Israel is deliberately restricting aid to Gaza as part of its military campaign, an official from Medecins Sans Frontieres said on Sunday, accusing the government of turning humanitarian assistance into a weapon of war."

“Israel has damaged or destroyed 90+% of Gaza’s homes, destroyed 22 of its 36 hospitals…, damaged most of its road network, devastated most of its commercial sector, and razed thousands of educational facilities, including all 12 of its universities.” https://t.co/Z4y5YqtKIw

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

🚩My new report is out.
With their actions and omissions, third states have enabled the oppression of the Palestinian people and their genocide.

Those states have an obligation to stop their complicity and deliver justice.

And We The People, have to make it happen.

[Dr. Najat Abdul-Aziz @theafroaussie]

The BBC found evidence??
Palestinian doctors have been telling us for two years.

[Mustafa Barghouti @Mustafa_Barghouti @MustafaBarghou1]

426 bodies of Palestinian civilians were recovered from under the rubble in Gaza using simple means . An estimated 10,000 more Palestinian bodies are still under the rubble and can’t be recovered without the heavy equipment that are still blocked by Israel.

This aerial image from the 1960s shows that the 'yellow line' of Israel's redeployment in Gaza is roughly matching with the border of the area's coastal sand dune, leaving Gaza without the absolute majority of its agricultural areas on the fertile soils in the east.

“The CFNU (Canada’s nurses) stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine and the health care workers trying to serve the population in extremely dangerous situations,” 👏

Time for the rest of 🇨🇦’s medical establishment to take note.

Although a majority of UN delegates chose to walk out of PM Netanyahu’s UN address, one captive audience had no choice: the inhabitants of Gaza, whose phones were hacked by the IDF.

[Muhammad Munshi @MMunshiMD]

As we debate whether Palestinians should be granted conditional statehood, a million children in #Gaza are being starved to death and there is no end in sight to the catastrophic health crisis.

Silence is complicity. Governments must act to end the #GazaGenocide.

@MarkJCarney

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Palestinian-British ER doctor Dr. Muhammad Mustafa, who has treated patients in Gaza since October 7, warns of a catastrophic health crisis: “A million children are being starved to death… a quarter of the population is in stage 5 famine, where four of every 10,000 children die each day.” At this stage, food alone isn’t enough – without doctors, medicine, and infrastructure, people die from refeeding syndrome and untreated wounds, he tells Breaking Points. He’s been pressing politicians from Ireland, Australia, and the UK to confront this reality and support urgent medical relief.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza.
