In the ruins of Shifa hospital and despite the genocidal war on Gaza 168 Palestinian medical doctors graduated yesterday as board specialists in different medical fields.
BREAKING: Yinon Levi, the Israeli settler who murdered Palestinian activist Awdeh Hathaleen, has been released to house arrest—while four members of Awdeh’s family remain jailed by Israeli police.
If you can only read or watch one thing about Gaza today, make it this conversation between Senator @ChrisVanHollen and Lieutenant Colonel Aguilar. It's moving, angering, and provides the best analysis of GHF, the US-Israeli horror scheme, masquerading as a humanitarian effort.
Israel: “I know we lied about the ambulance workers, Shifa hospital, flour massacre, beheaded babies, Hamad hospital, Hind Rajab, the ‘terror LIST’ (days of the week), World Central Kitchen workers, babies in ovens, white phosphorus, deliberately starving Gazans, Sinwar surrounding himself with 20 hostages in a tunnel, gassing hostages, Ahli hospital, killing women & children with white flags, mass r@ping Palestinians, non-existent tunnels under graveyards, Nasir hospital, Husam Abu Safia, mass graves, snipers targeting kids in the head, providing protection to criminal gangs to loot aid, wiping out Gaza, who refused/collapsed the ceasefire, blowing up Gazans fleeing south, Kamal Adwan hospital, claiming dead Gazan children are dolls, creating 'safe zones', the generals plan, how many Hamas militants we killed, Red Crescent taking part in Oct 7, calling killed journalists Hamas ‘militants’, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, the Indonesian hospital, UNRWA, al-Awda hospital, killing women sheltering at a church, bombing the church, destroying every single Gazan university, the Turkish cancer hospital, Hamas hiding giant stockpiles of fuel in Rafah, finding active smuggling tunnels in Rafah, hostages returning pregnant, who killed Yossi Sharabi, Itai Svirsky, Nik Beizer, Ron Sherman, Elia Toledano…
But.. but our next lie will be 100% true, trust us”
@Potus' plan for Gaza is nonsense, which nonetheless must be taken very seriously. President Trump has basically declared his intention to commit the int'l crime of forced displacement and resort to unlawful use of force against the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination, in violation of the UN Charter - amounting to aggression.
The 191 members of the UN who still have an interest in protecting themselves from this madness, better recover from their paralysis and stand united against this imperialist lawlessness.
PS: And in any case, this plan won't work. How do I know? 76 years of failed attempts by Israel, including 16 months of genocidal assault.
Indigenous people do not leave their land.
In Gaza, children mourn babies who freeze to death in the unliveable displacement conditions in which two million people have been forced by Israel’s war of annihilation.
His Majesty King Abdullah II: Almost a year into this war, our world has failed politically, but our humanity must not fail the people of #Gaza any longer

جلالة الملك عبدالله الثاني: الواقع الأليم الذي يتجلى أمام الكثيرين هو أن بعض الشعوب هي فعليا فوق القانون الدولي، وأن العدالة الدولية تنصاع للقوة، وأن حقوق الإنسان انتقائية؛ فهي امتياز يمنح للبعض ويحرم البعض الآخر منه حسب الأهواء

Palestinians have evacuated premature infants from Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah due to new Israeli evacuation orders and threats of an imminent invasion.
This precaution is driven by fears of abandonment and death, reminiscent of recent invasions of Gaza hospitals, where Israeli soldiers forced doctors to leave and left dozens of infants to die.
أقذر ما في الحملة الإعلامية في داخل الاردن وخارجها ضد المتظاهرين هو استدعاء ايلول الاسود، وكأن هناك فصيل مسلح جاهز للتحرك ومواجهة الأمن والسلطة وتهديد السلم المجتمعي، هذا الاستدعاء والاستخدام ليس بريئا وفيه رائحة الدم، ويجب أن يتوقف، بدل أن يُشكر من يستخدمه من وزير على رأس عمله!
Sickening heartless decision of the richest countries in the world to punish the most vulnerable population on earth because of the alleged crimes of 12 people. Right after the ICJ ruling finding risk of genocide. Sickening.
The International Court of Justice fudged its ruling by not issuing a ceasefire order. But it was nonetheless a big victory for South Africa's case:
The court's justices overwhelmingly ruled that it was plausible that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza and has declared it will now investigate Israel's actions.
That will take time (far too long), but Israel's crimes are now under scrutiny by the World Court, as will be the complicity in genocide of the US and Europe.
The UK is now calling for an immediate “humanitarian pause” emphasising once again freeing Israeli hostages. What about Palestinian hostages? Israel has abducted more than 6,000 since 7 October. What about the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed? What about the 2.3 million people condemned to hunger, thirst and death by communicable disease? Why do Palestinian lives not matter in this equation? We repeat: The only way forward is to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza now. That means an immediate, comprehensive and permanent ceasefire. This must be followed by a massive humanitarian and rebuilding project for Gaza and a clear timeline for ending Israel’s occupation of all Palestinian territory and the fulfilment of the Palestinian people’s national and human rights, including statehood and return.
The three students of Palestinian descent who were shot in Vermont all met at the Ramallah Friends School. @joyce_afsc, the former director of the Quaker school, talks about the young men and how their lives were shaped by violence and occupation.
