A year ago Israel bombed a hospital, there was an international outcry so a bunch of media and political figures ran cover for them. now they're just burning people alive in hospitals with zero pretext or effort to cover it up at all
something i wish people were willing to understand is when your country in committing or abetting (as britain is) genocide, there will always be some sort of reason to not quite see it as the crime it is. that’s how genocide works, when we’ve decided someone isn’t quite people
this is the third act threat in an action film when the writers want to make it clear that the bad guy is willing to kill millions and absolutely must be stopped. but you’ll see it being defended in time im sure
What is Israel is doing is not defense. That’s would take place on their side of the border.
What they are doing is 100% offensive, on the other side of the border.
The question is why do they get away with this euphemism.
These trauma surgeons thought they’d seen the worst of the worst. But nothing they’d experienced prepared them for the horrors they found in Gaza, as civilians and children suffer under Israel’s bombing campaign.

We must remember: Israel has breached every rule ever elaborated and enjoyed impunity, killing civilians, including children, women, humanitarians, doctors, and journalists.
The @LemkinInstitute is horrified, heartbroken and nauseated by the cruel IDF murder of Muhammed Bhar, a 24-year-old Palestinian man who had Down's Syndrome and autism.
The IDF's treatment of Mr. Bhar is not the exception. It is but one of countless similar genocidal atrocities committed by Israel, which our founder, Dr. Elisa von Joeden-Forgey, calls life force atrocities. Life force atrocities aim to destroy the spirit of the group by instrumentalizing family and community bonds, targeting and desecrating community symbols, including the most vulnerable people within a community, and perpetrating sadistic rituals of cruelty that become permanent wounds within the target group's psyche -- and also permanent wounds on the body of humanity. Life force atrocities are found in every genocide.
The pattern of life force atrocities in Israel's assault on Gaza is one of the most direct forms of evidence of genocidal intent.
Given this pattern of behavior, the IDF must be considered a genocidal institution. Support for the IDF and for Israel's unending slaughter in Gaza is support for genocide. There is no way around this fact.
We remind the genocide deniers who support this monstrous behavior that the scar of complicity is permanent. It can never be removed.
Mr. Bhar died alone, surrounded by Israeli soldiers, as his heartbroken and terrified family members were forced at gunpoint to leave him with his tormentors. The last words his family heard from him was his words to the dog that was killing him. He was saying to the dog, "enough my dear enough" while patting his head with his free arm and trying to free himself from the dog's attack.
Two of Muhammed's brothers were arrested and have not been heard from since. When the family was able to return to its home a week later, they found Muhammed's body near his favorite chair, surrounded by his own blood.
His 70-year-old mother told the BBC: "This scene I will never forget... I constantly see the dog tearing at him and his hand, and the blood pouring from his hand... It is always in front of my eyes, never leaving me for a moment. We couldn't save him, neither from them nor from the dog."

If you rightly condemn Russia for their depravity as they bomb hospitals and kill children, but continue to sell arms to Israel, who have killed over 14,000 children (and counting) and destroyed Gaza's hospitals with impunity, then you are a hypocrite. Simple.
BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.

Israel does not have the right to “approve” land seizure because it is illegal under international law.
“Israel stealing more Palestinian land,” that’s your headline.
thanks to the people who’ve shown up to “correct” me that all these guys are definitely hamas fighters. cool! you’re not allowed to do this to soldiers, combatants either. you’re not allowed to do this anyone! fix your heads and your hearts jesus christ
