“The drones would come down and pick off civilians – children.”
A former NHS surgeon, Nizam Mamode, who spent a month working in Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, broke down while testifying about children in Gaza being shot by drones.
"a medical student.. described how the women had all been lined up & been told to strip.. made to stand for hours like that.. when they told her she could go they wouldn't give her a clothes back"
Professor Mamode on how the Israeli army humiliates healthcare workers in Gaza
Yazan is Palestine Olympic swimmer
Yazan isn’t just a swimmer
Yazan is a dream coming true for a refugee man and for a nation of refugees who are waiting to go back home one day.

We have to face it: the same people who justified the slaughter of the innocent Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes and support the slaughter of the innocents in #Gaza are now in full-scale denial of what happened at #ManchesterAirport. The same people. They walk and tweet among us.
You have to watch this immensely revealing and horrifying testimony by Jewish-American humanitarian surgeon Mark Perlmutter who spent 2 weeks in Gaza: https://t.co/9Ku1axTPyw
"All of the disaster zones I've seen combined - combined - 40 mission trips, 30 years, ground zero, earthquakes, all of that combined doesn't equal the level of carnage that I saw against civilians in just my first week in Gaza.
(Host: and when you say civilians, is it mostly children?)
Almost exclusively children, I've never seen that before."
The World Court ruled this afternoon that Israel's 57-year military occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza has mutated into an illegal act of annexation.
The ruling is earth-shattering for many reasons.
It confirms that Israel meets the legal definition of an apartheid state.
It points to the fact that Israel's creation of hundreds of Jewish-only colonies on Palestinian land is inherently tied to a programme of ethnic cleansing.
It reaffirms the legal reality that Israel has no "right of self-defence" when its annexation is a permanent and overt act of aggression against the Palestinian people.
It strongly suggests that for decades the West has been colluding in Israel's crimes against humanity, just as it is now actively complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza.
It bolsters the case, made by prosecutors at the World Court's sister court, the International Criminal Court, that Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli leadership are war criminals and should be arrested.
And it concludes that the Palestinians are owed massive reparations.
At a bare minimum, western governments must recognise the state of Palestine and impose sanctions on Israel until it withdraws from the occupied territories.
Watch them continue to do the exact opposite.
Watch them pretend that today's ruling never happened.
Watch them continue to make a mockery of international law.
One day, I’ll be standing in an auditorium full of undergrads teaching them about Nazism and Zionism under the same module.
I’ll show them a documentary about May 26th 2024 - when Israel dropped several 2 thousand ton bombs on sleeping refugees in a tent, the students will lament on how the world could possibly remain silent if we had video footage from months of similar carnage.
We’ll sociologically analyze how global consent and complicity is manufactured through propaganda, and then students will be asked to write a 1000 word essay on the fake beheaded babies story.
And this is how history simply repeats itself, unless the cycle is broken by a few brave souls.
Are you on of them?
@Daniel7Prinsloo Some knew all along but there wasn't anything effective to be done more to inform more people about it.
They were dismissed as conspiracy theories by the Zionists' propaganda apparatus.
