Norm Finkelstein: “International law died…when the UN gave the deed of Gaza to Donald Trump…At this point Iran has no obligations whatsoever to abide by international law. It can target who it wants and what it wants for the sake of its survival. You don’t like that? Then look in the mirror. YOU created that situation.”

Some people say the war is over, while others say it is still raging. Meanwhile, we are here, dying every day, and no one asks how we are doing

Israeli official speaks to Australia's ABC about the strike he ordered on World Central Kitchen that killed Jacob Flickinger and 6 other aid workers.
Says he's not sorry, that WCK has Hamas links and is "not really an organisation you can say is innocent."

There is no such thing as “Israel”.

It all belongs to Palestine.

look what they do. those demons. look what an abomination zionists are in this world. what bringers of darkness they are. may their entire parasitic enterprise perish from this earth, that humanity might collectively sigh with relief.

When clothes become a corpse… a scene too heartbreaking for the human heart to bear.

This is how the bodies of children in Gaza are pulled from beneath the rubble. Their clothes bear witness, while their remains tell a tragedy that the heart cannot bear.

🚨BREAKING: Israel Has Declared That Its Agreement With Lebanon Had Failed

A large number Israeli fighter jets have just entered Lebanese airspace.

The occupying army claim that the Lebanese Armed Forces have failed to implement their “experimental zones” aimed at disarming Hezbollah.

It is anticipated that the collapse of the agreement, which Israel has violated every day since its signing, will lead to a new wave of attacks on civilian targets.

Not "newsworthy" in mainstream Western media. They are genocide enablers.

⭕️ “The Board of Peace Is Failing”

Athena Rayburn, executive director of the Association of International Development Agencies (AIDA), an umbrella organization representing more than 100 humanitarian and development NGOs working in the occupied Palestinian territory, told the UN Security Council today that Israel had designed Gaza’s scarcity and was using control over aid to silence NGOs.

“Stay silent, or your delivery will not be enabled at all,” Rayburn said, describing Israeli rules used to deregister more than 30 international aid organizations.

Rayburn said Israel rejects scissors, crutches, wheelchairs, and prosthetic limbs as “dual-use,” restricts engine oil so severely that it costs 45 times its normal price, bars specialized medical staff, and rejects watermelon and onions under an unpublished “humanitarian policy.”

Israel also daily moves the supposedly fixed Yellow Line, cutting access to at least 85 water points, schools and health clinics.

“By these basic measures, the Board of Peace is failing,” she said, saying that it has “functioned to further entrench Israel’s unlawful presence.” Since the ceasefire, nearly 1,300 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military.

“What remains unclear,” Rayburn said, “is the legal basis on which the State of Israel continues to obstruct the provision of impartial humanitarian assistance in direct contravention of its unconditional obligations under Article 59 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.”

She also questioned why the mandate granted to the Board of Peace by the Security Council was being used “to obfuscate Israel’s continued actions” that blatantly violate Palestinian rights and “the most basic rules of international humanitarian law.”

She argued that rather than challenging Israel’s continued control over Gaza, restrictions on aid, and killings, the Board was helping obscure those violations and “further entrench Israel’s unlawful presence.”

“This cannot be the new status quo.”

Rayburn urged the Security Council to exercise its “powers of inquiry” and undertake an urgent mission to Gaza: “Come and see for yourselves.”
