Ik wil graag dit NRC-artikel met je delen: "Het zionisme is rijp voor de ‘vuilnisbelt van de geschiedenis’, zegt Holocaust-wetenschapper Omer Bartov" https://t.co/PX3Hxz3j03
BBC propagandists only needed to speak with Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's colleagues, as I did. But they chose to regurgitate Israeli LIES.
I asked a Palestinian medic I've known since 2008 when I lived in Gaza, Ahmad abu Foul. He knows Dr. Hussam. He replied:
“Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is originally a pediatrician who worked under the Palestinian Ministry of Health. During the Palestinian division in 2006, he refused to stop working or stay at home and continued providing medical and humanitarian care to serve the Palestinian people.
Later, he was appointed director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. The hospital belongs to the Medical Services Agency, but during the war it became a government emergency hospital under the Ministry of Interior and the Palestinian Ministry of Health
It is important to note that Kamal Adwan is a specialized children’s hospital and is not affiliated with any military faction. Dr. Abu Safiya is considered one of the most prominent and skilled pediatricians in Gaza, and he was granted the rank of brigadier by the Gaza government due to his work in a government institution.”
I also asked Dr. Omar Shabat ( @DrOmar_shaba ) an orthopedic surgeon in northern Gaza:
“I worked with him for two years during the war. When I wanted to perform surgeries on the injured, we didn’t have an anesthesiologist. Dr. Hussam is a pediatrician, but he told me he would become an anesthesiologist, and that’s exactly what happened; he anesthetized the injured.
Everyone should know that Dr. Hussam is a pediatrician at a hospital called the Military Medical Services Hospital. This hospital assigns military ranks to all employees, but it’s just a title and not an actual responsibility.”

@DropSiteNews likewise noted:
"The New York Post falsely claimed that Dr. Abu Safiya is a “Hamas colonel.” In reality, he served in the Military Medical Services, a government medical body responsible for providing healthcare to police and security personnel, functionally equivalent to a state medical corps rather than a partisan armed group. The article itself inadvertently admits this, writing that “Safiya’s photo appeared on the Gaza Medical Services’ Facebook page — a group overseen by the Hamas-run health ministry,” an admission that Abu Safiya belonged to a government health institution, not an armed faction.
Basem Naim, a senior Hamas official and former Palestinian minister of health, himself a physician with a degree in medicine from Germany, explained that Kamal Adwan Hospital operates through cooperation between the Ministries of Health and Interior, “a model consistent with international norms in public service provision.”
In comments to Drop Site News, he further clarified that Hamas and the Qassam Brigades do not use ranks such as “colonel,” emphasizing that the rank cited belongs to the Palestinian government’s medical corps, not Hamas’s military wing. Naim also stated that the uniform described as “Hamas camo” in the NY Post article has no affiliation with any resistance faction..."

Following Netanyahu’s claim that Christian villages requested to be annexed by Israel, we spoke to three Lebanese officials from Christian-majority villages in the south.
All of them denied the claim.
“Whatever he says, we’ve never asked anyone for protection… We have the Lebanese state, and we will remain Lebanese.”

This is correct. Palestinians are the descendants of ancient Israelites.
PS- I've published 4 papers in genetics so far, in preparation for that big 5th.

Painting from the "Yaffa Orange Collection" (2025) by artist Marwa Najjar, paired with a poem "My Grandfather’s Well" by Palestinian Mosab Abu Toha, Poet, Writer, Pulitzer Prize winner, Founder of the Edward Said Public Library.
I never met Grandfather, but I can see him
close to a well in Yaffa. The forehead he’s wiping
is a glittering, wrinkled map of the past.
His olive-wood cane leans
against an orange tree.
I can see birds the colour of earth
when it rains
harvest oranges, pile them
on roofs of houses
in the refugee camp.
Where have you been? Grandfather asks me,
his voice
weary as if
plowing the thick, muddy
soil of language.
My arms are down, too tired to lift
even to say hi.
I’ve been pulling up buckets of water
from the Camp’s well,
searching for words
for my epic.
My grandfather stands still close to the well.
He never left it, even after the Nakba,
even after death.
His hands pour water
down into the well.
In the refugee camp,
where Land is strewn with
debris, where air chokes with rage,
my harvest is yet to arrive,
my seeds only sprout on this page.
