Israel just passed a law mandating death by hanging for Palestinians in rigged military trials voting 62-48 in the Knesset. Netanyahu turned up in person to vote yes. Ben-Gvir wore a metal noose pin on his lapel while the chamber erupted in cheers at the prospect of more killing.
🇮🇱 Israel has approved the death penalty for Palestinians but not for Israelis who commit the same crime.
Sixty-two lawmakers, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, voted in favour of the controversial bill which has been condemned by Britain ⬇️

Australia now has some of the democratic world's most draconian anti-protest laws. Today a man was arrested as an "agitator" simply for peacefully yelling "shame" in the direction of the visiting Israeli President, on the basis it may have "incited fear" https://t.co/jZJ59cRU02
❗️BREAKING❗️Rescuers killed in line of duty.
Scenes like this unfold every moment in Gaza, often unseen, largely undocumented. I beg STATES: how much more must be witnessed before you act to stop this carnage?
🔴Break the blockade
🔴Impose an Arms Embargo
🔴Impose Sanctions.
IDF officers and soldiers tell Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present https://t.co/CuTtHDFKBo
Your @ABCaustralia acted illegally to cover up Israeli war crimes: Court.
"The court has found that ABC punishing someone for sharing facts about these war crimes is also illegal."
“Deliberately starving and killing children is a war crime.” https://t.co/YRIbpcDFjJ
I don’t know what to say anymore. As doctors, we can’t stop a genocide and we can’t end a famine.
We provided a diagnosis - genocide.
We provided a prescription to end the genocide - for Canada to end its complicity and direct involvement in Israel’s crimes now.
Israel is explaining, with fully transparency, how they are navigating the international "rules-based" order to get away with genocide. They recognize that extermination in one fell swoop might trigger international intervention, so they normalize it by carrying it out strategically - "responsibly."
The slaughter of Palestinian aid workers and the cover up by the IDF, as well as the video showing officers commanding soldiers to shoot civilians are firm evidence that the IDF has completely lost its way. This is merely the tip of the iceberg of what has happened.
The combination of a desire for vengeance after October 7 and the spirit of Kahanism which has become dominant at all levels of society, have produced this rancid outcome.
It is up to us, Israelis, Jews and Zionists to stop giving the IDF a pass. No one benefits from this. The myth of the “most moral army” needs to be discarded once and for all. The army must be reformed from top to bottom. The war must end. The occupation must end. We have to regain our souls.
New video shows Israeli forces open firing on medics in Gaza.
I’ve spoken with the IDF multiple times about this day and was told “several vehicles were identified advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights, or emergency signals.”
That is clearly not true.
I talked to a source about allegations of a slaughter of 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers and the claim that they were buried them in a mass grave. As reported by the Guardian.
At least one of the bodies has been found with his hands tied. Israel hid them, along with ambulances and a UN vehicle by burying them with a bulldozer.
The massacre occurred on March 23rd in Rafah. The official IDF claim is that troops had opened fire on several vehicles “advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights or emergency signals”.
However, an IDF source admitted to me that there is evidence that soldiers executed the workers. It is also not IDF practice to bury Palestinian bodies, this source confirmed, suggesting they knew they had something to hide.
This confirms reports that some of the ambulance staff was still alive after the IDF hit them. Then they were murdered. This is a new low for the IDF. Those responsible must face justice.
Lawyers have formed a global coalition, Global 195, to pursue legal action worldwide against Israelis and dual Israeli nationals accused of involvement in suspected war crimes in Gaza
The resumption of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, with the full backing of the US government, is an outrage. Israel’s ongoing assault will only deepen the devastation and suffering already inflicted on Gazans. The claim that Israel's actions are driven by concern for hostages rings hollow when it has repeatedly rejected ceasefire extensions that could have secured their release.
The collective punishment of Gaza must end. We call on the Australian government to take substantial action pressuring Israel towards an immediate and permanent ceasefire.
The City of Sydney Council has become the first New South Wales Council to pass a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) motion, confirming on Monday it has no business with companies complicit in Israeli settlements.

Over 500% ⬆️ in islamaphobic incidents reported. Where is the justice? It's not just anti-Semitic attacks that r on the rise. Rather than have an exclusive anti-Semitic summit how about we stop picking sides and include islamaphobia 2 the register n give it the weight it deserves
