BREAKING:
⚡United Nations Human Rights:
"Two days ago the Israeli army made an unprecedented massacre of men, women and children in a building in Gaza"
“On 19 December 2023, between 2000 and 2300 hours, IDF reportedly surrounded and raided Al Awda building, also known as the “Annan building”, in Al Remal neighborhood, Gaza City, where three related families were sheltering in addition to Annan family.
According to witness accounts circulated by media sources and Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, while in control of the building and the civilians sheltering there, the IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least 11 of the men, mostly aged in their late 20’s and early 30’s, in front of their family members.
The IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child.
OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awda building, although the details and circumstances of the killings are still under verification. IDF has not released any information on the incident.”
The Washington Post just released an in-depth investigation on Israel’s assault on the al-Shifa hospital.
The Post analyzed open-source visuals, satellite imagery and all of the publicly released IDF materials.
Highlights from the investigation:

The U.S. has repeatedly delayed voting on another Gaza resolution at the U.N. Security Council this week and could still veto it altogether. It's part of a "very old story" of the U.S. using its role at the U.N. to shield Israel from diplomatic pressure, says @PhyllisBennis.
China couldn't have put it better in its response to the US veto at the UN: https://t.co/S7bDXDnrDD
"Condoning the continuation of fighting while claiming to care about the lives and safety of people in Gaza is self-contradictory.
Condoning the continuation of fighting while advocating for the prevention of spillover effects of the conflict is self-deceiving.
Condoning the continuation of fighting while making reference to the protection of women, children and human rights is hypocritical.
All these once again show us what double standards are."
Josh Paul resigned from the State Dept over sending arms to Israel. “I have heard from actually so many hundreds of colleagues at this point who support what I did,” he says. “They are finding what is happening both a moral disaster and a policy disaster for the United States.”
Dr. Tom Potokar, our chief surgeon in the European Hospital in #Gaza shares the situation of the healthcare workers and of those civilians affected.
"Is seeing so many destroyed lives, so many shattered bodies, burned bodies, particularly in children... this is such a tragedy".
Raising a point of order, Lib Dem MP Layla Moran lets the house know that today she has lost the first member of her family in Gaza. The deputy speaker doesn't allow her to finish.
The EU must listen to Palestinian voices. Why are Israeli victims dignified with names but Palestinians die anonymous in their thousands? EU feigns "concern" but no comprehension of the enormity of what is being wiped out. There must be a #CeasefireNOW.
Gilles Devers is one of the most veteran lawyers in France, who in just 10 days gathered an army of lawyers from all the continents of the world to prosecute Israel for its war crimes against the Palestinians.
Lawyer Giles Devers is promising the Israeli occupation with a dark fate and says to the Palestinians: "You did not have anyone to defend you, but now you have an army to defend you in international and national courts."
#GazaGenocide
Mr. @netanyahu, we are your worst nightmare. You are a war criminal. So is @POTUS (@JoeBiden). I hope that @KarimKhanQC of the @IntlCrimCourt opens a file on you both soon. If not, then we will charge him for being negligent in his duties and for being complicit in genocide.
The scenes of disorder we witnessed by the far-right at the Cenotaph are a direct result of the Home Secretary’s words. The police's job has been made much harder.
The Met have my full support to take action against anyone found spreading hate and breaking the law.
Utterly unacceptable. We are watching ten of thousands of innocents being slaughtered with no escape. Our leaders have completely lost their moral bearings.
Palestinian scholar Noura Erakat @4noura addressed crowds at Saturday's massive Washington, D.C., rally for a ceasefire in Gaza. "Palestine reveals the naked hypocrisy of Western universalism," she said.
