Israel killed the 8 y/o son of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital, for his refusal to leave in Oct 2024. He was later injured & reports today allege he has been arrested by occupation forces 4 refusing to abandon his patients.

[Kim Johnson @KimJohnsonMP]

The UK refused entry for medical treatment to Ahmed - a 4 year old from Gaza who lost both his legs and most of his family in an Israeli air strike.

He’s now receiving vital treatment in Italy; why won’t the UK offer the same?

Over 50 MPs have written to the Prime Minister 👇

The israelis purposely launch a missile strike on Kamal Adwan Hospital just as director Dr Hussam Abu Safya is being interviewed by @AJEnglish

[Wafa Ali Mustafa @WafaMustafa9]

It’s been a week since Assad was toppled.

I’m still searching for my detained father in videos, lists & groups, while struggling to return to Syria despite asylum restrictions.

Syria may soon fade from your feeds, but for detainees’ families, the struggle is far from over.

So touching:

“I have been in prison for 10 years. What happened?”

“The regime fell”

And his laugh!

"On October 7th you were happy, a year later, look around you"

Channel 12's "Palestinian Affairs Correspondent" Ohad Hemo managed to produce one of the vilest propaganda TV pieces I've ever seen. He and the channel heavily promoted this article, which features Hemo, there with the army of course, filming in Jabalia, near one the IDF's infamous "draining points" (where they do a "selection", abduct the men and some of the boys and break up families).

Hemo is sticking a microphone into the face of starving, thirsty, exhausted genocide survivors on an actual death march, after being expelled from North Gaza, mocking and taunting them so he could film them "express" hatred for Hamas. The point, it seems, is to convey the message that genocide works - we completely destroyed their lives and now they finally understand it was all Hamas's fault.

The piece is presented as the "first time we hear the true voices of people in Gaza", because foreign journalists are not allowed, and of course you can't trust Palestinian journalists, right? After all, "some of them are Hamas members", according to Hemo.
In the mind of this delusional genocidal maniac, this is serious and well-journalism. In reality, it's kinda like seeing a sadistic interrogator torture someone until he gets a "confession" out of him.

I've seen a lot of extremely disturbing shit on Israeli TV this past year, and this one was one of the hardest to watch. Perhaps the hardest. Enraging and painful, extremely painful. Unbelievable cruelty that an entire society see as completely normal.

Here's an excerpt from the piece, will post more in the coming days.

My new report is out - available in all UN official languages: https://t.co/FlGLzPTdhz

Genocide is a complex and insidious crime; proving destructive intent is an onerous task - yet not when it is so ostentatious, sustained by a political doctrine of ideological hatred and articulated through institutional structures and policies.

902 Palestinian families wiped out in Gaza by Israel over past year..

Let this sink in…

"It is clearly an indiscriminate attack on civilians. The law only allows you to target combatants and those actively participating in hostilities,” says DAWN's @Sarahleah1, commenting on Israel's pager attack in Lebanon.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

BREAKING: The Lancet has just published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. That's 8% of the population, obliterated. These are apocalyptic figures.

Today Israel was elected to the Executive Board of @WHO

By the WHO's own records there have been 872 attacks on healthcare in Palestine since 7/10 https://t.co/zYhbGl4bbI.

And 2 days after MSF published this https://t.co/8g8v0F5Ple

A new low for global health & WHO.

[Munchkin @BSonblast]

Do u know why Sudanese refugees in northern Ethiopia are on hunger strike for the past 4 days??

They were running out of food, & chose for some to stop eating to leave what little food is left for the 2,000 children, pregnant mothers, the elderly & disabled.
