‘NAZA’: Exposing Israel’s killing machine in Gaza

Our new film shows how Israel’s slaughter of Palestinian civilians was a calculated and intentional act, through the testimonies of those responsible.

Ha'aretz reports that Hamas, through Qatar, conveyed immediately on Oct. 7 that they were willing to return all the civilian hostages for nothing -- their only ask was for a mediator to arrange the exchange and establish a connection to then negotiate the further release of the soldiers. Israel refused to talk or hear about it.

So Qatar reached out to Antony Blinken to let him know that Hamas was willing to release all the civilian hostages.

Blinken told Qatar he didn't want to hear it because "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to."

Blinken had the opportunity to free every single civilian hostage and de-escalate the situation. Instead he wanted war.

It’s really unfair that the hordes of people who responded “Release the hostages!” to every clip of a hospital being bombed or a child being blown to pieces will never be forced to reckon with the plain fact that Netanyahu could’ve brought them home the evening of October 7, 2023

Via een in Amsterdam geregistreerd bedrijf, Havas NV, besteedt Israël tientallen miljoenen aan PR-bedrijven voor de manipulatie van AI-chatbots en sociale mediacampagnes. Het doel: het publiek misleiden. https://t.co/QHbtOtgVX3

“Radical Islam interests them very, very much. And therefore we need to take advantage of this.”

In an interview with Israel Hayom, Amichai Chikli, Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs, emphasised the need to shift the focus from antisemitism to an anti-Islam strategy.

Hasan Piker's critics often quote his 'America deserved 9/11' remark, as well as his 'inbred' remarks, so I asked about him it on the 'We're not Kidding' podcast.

Worth a watch:

An FT visual investigation found systematic destruction across Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon, crippling systems essential to civilian life, from water and energy infrastructure to medical care. Raya Jalabi reports on the scale of the devastation. https://t.co/BcUPUBtpGz

No es posible trasladarse de Ceuta y Melilla a la Peninsula sin identificarse en un control de policía. La integridad del espacio Schengen está absolutamente garantizada. Basta de confusión interesada

Just a note that, by this point, the most conservative estimate for people killed in the Gaza genocide (around 70.3k) is higher than the largest estimates for the Rohingya genocide (around 43k), Yazidi genocide (5k), and the Bosnian genocide (60k). It’s at about the same level as the East Timor genocide (85.3k) and Italy’s genocide of Libyans (83k). If we go by the most maximal number given for deaths, 335.5k (as stated in an article by Devi Sridhar in The Lancet), the Gaza genocide outnumbers the deaths in Stalin’s Great Purge (about 248k), the killing of Assyrians by the Ottomans (200k), the Herero and Nama genocide (110k), Isaaq genocide (200k), Saddam’s campaign against the Kurds (182k), Maya genocide (166k), Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka (253.8k), and killing of Serbs in WWII (around 248k). At that point, you’re in the territory of the Rwandan genocide, Bangladesh genocide, Darfur genocide, and the Armenian genocide

Netherlands and the ICJ case South Africa v Israel:
Damage control masked as support for the Palestinian cause

The intervention of the Netherlands in South Africa’s case against Israel at the World Court was hailed as a victory by many in the movement for the liberation of Palestine. However, a closer reading shows it was nothing more than an attempt by the Dutch government to muddy the waters around genocide prevention.

🚨Today marks 1,000 days of genocide in Gaza. In this video we show ten of Israel’s most well-documented crimes

They're far from the worst atrocities they committed, but together they paint a clear picture of the brutality, deception & impunity that have allowed them to continue

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.
