The tide is changing. Ordinary people: you think you are making no difference with your resistance to complicity with genocide, occupation and apartheid. You are, yes you are. Please continue.
What Trump said he wants to do fits the dictionary definition of ethnic cleansing. There is no need for media to hedge and call it “relocation”, “resettlement”, “transfer” or anything else. Journalism is supposed to be about accuracy.
The fact that Israel internally publishes a guide to escape war crimes prosecution is amusing enough. Let me share below some excerpts which are even more hilarious 🤣
🧵
We are extremely alarmed by the latest information we have received regarding the whereabouts of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyyah, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital. He should now be considered as victim of enforced disappeared, and as such at great risk of torture and ill-treatment. Israel authorities must urgently disclose the location of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyyah.
Dr. Abu Safiyyah was reportedly arrested on December 27, 2024, when IDF forces raided Kamal Adwan Hospital. Video footage from that day shows the senior doctor walking toward an IDF armored vehicle before being taken for questioning. Following the incident, an IDF spokesperson confirmed his arrest and stated that he had been transferred for interrogation. However, since then, no further information has been provided about his whereabouts.
But on Thursday January 1st, the Israeli military informed Physicians for Human Rights that they have no record of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s detention. This response came after PHRI, acting on behalf of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s family requested information to facilitate a lawyer’s visit on January 2.
In its response to PHRI’s inquiry, the military stated:
"Following your inquiry, we would like to inform you that a review has found no indication of the arrest or detention of the individual in question."
In light of this denial, PHRI has now filed a petition with the Israeli High Court of Justice (HCJ) on Thursday, demanding immediate disclosure of Dr. Abu Safiyyah’s location.
Since October 2023, Israel has detained hundreds of Palestinian healthcare workers from Gaza without charge or trial. Health workers have been subjected to torture and other ill-treatment and been held in incommunicado detention.
The birthplace of Jesus is not celebrating Christmas this year. Bethlehem, home to one of the world’s oldest Christian communities, is standing in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

France is opening a box of pandora.
If Netanyahu is immune because Israel isn't party to the ICC, then Putin is also immune. Then Bashir is also immune. Then Min Aung Hlaing is also immune.
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is in critical condition due to severe internal bleeding caused by shrapnel injuries that have likely torn blood vessels in his thigh. He urgently needs a vascular surgeon and advanced medical care.

This is a very hard read. But read it. Read every word and understand the tremendous suffering that Palestinian journalists have endured to keep eyes on Gaza. Wael al-Dahdouh will always be my hero in journalism. https://t.co/DGASy9G7id
