On this day 26 years ago, the world watched, as Jamal al-Durrah tried to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from Israeli bullets that rained down on them in Gaza for 40 minutes. Despite pleads, Israeli soldiers intentionally shot Muhammad in the stomach- whose final moments of fear and horror were caught on camera and streamed by France TV, and injured his father.

Muhammad became the defining and haunting image of the Second Intifada.

Disappointed the BBC cancelled my interview on Israel's killing of Hind Rajab

2 producers eagerly reached out. They confirmed the time & one called to prepare a brief for the anchor

She asked me whether Israel's announcement is positive, I explained in detail it was a cover up.

The IDF is blaming the killing of Hind, her uncle, aunt & 4 cousins on the family itself for trying to flee by car & on the ambulance sent to rescue her for "failures in the co-ordination of the movement."

None of this is remotely true! The Red Cross immediately informed the IDF about 5-year-old Hind who was hiding in that motionless car, & they requested permission from Israel to allow an ambulance to rescue them.

After multiple long hours, Israel granted greenlight to the ambulance & provided them with a designated route on a GPS to drive on.

As soon as the ambulance reached Hind's car, the IDF ambushed & bombed them immediately with an American made anti-tank missile then opened fire on Hind's car. The car was hit with 355 bullets.

Israel then kept that area under lockdown for 12 days, & prevented anyone from approaching.

Hind's mom went daily to the Ahli baptist hospital hoping to find her daughter, until her lifeless body was brought in along with the charred remains of the ambulance men.

Israel then claimed after an "initial investigation" that its troops were NEVER in that area to begin with. They maintained that claim for 2 years despite ample recordings & satellite images debunking this lie.

The only reason Israel is now making this new announcement of a deeper investigation is to shield its soldiers & generals from the International Criminal Court by invoking the principle of "complementarity;" that the ICC cannot investigate a state that is already investigating itself in good faith.

I told the BBC producer Israel today also quietly shut down the investigation into the triple tap killing of American, Canadian, British, Australian & Polish citizens in the WCK massacre. Israel blamed the massacre on the aid workers themselves for "deviating from the predesignated route" & for hiring an armed security guard "without informing the IDF" (both claims where debunked by WCK themselves, who had coordinates their every step with the IDF).

I told the producer the Israeli commander responsible for this massacre, Nochi Mendel, is a fanatical settler who had signed a petition calling for starving Gaza & that he was celebrated by settler leaders & supported by Israeli government leaders after what he did.

Mendel even received a box of chocolate from the settler council's leader & a letter of support for what he did.

Mendel was initially dismissed by the IDF & blamed for the massacre, but was quickly & quietly reinstated & promoted in the Defence Ministry as the head of the settlements and national infrastructure unit.

It's abundantly clear Israel is NOT serious about prosecuting any of the atrocities committed in Gaza. Since the genocide began, only two soldiers were punished by the IDF; one for microwaving a living frog & another for cooking sausages in the army kitchen on Shabbat.

The producer asked me: What about the 150 cases the IDF said are pending review?

I answered: it's just a number designed to give the appearance of seriousness, but it's essentially meaningless.

If it took the IDF two whole years to admit the simplest of facts that the entire world had already known, which is that their troops were the ones who fired on Hind Rajab's car, how do you expect them to do with the remaining cases that are not as high profile?

Five minutes after the call, the producer wrote me that they decided to cancel the interview & will not even host anyone else to comment on the issue, & instead they'll play archival footage!

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

A video clearly shows an unarmed, injured person being bombed by Israeli aircraft along with his fellow unarmed civilians in cold blood.

A video that the world must never forget.

This investigation by the Financial Times is staggering in its findings and in its scope and methodological rigor. Some of the findings, backed up by incredible levels of forensic evidence:

1) Israel completed much of its systematic destruction across Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon after Israeli forces took control of already-emptied villages in mid-April, and after the April 17 ceasefire. The ceasefire was used to make these areas completely uninhabitable.

2) The scale of destruction is incredible. Roughly 85,000 housing units damaged or destroyed (likely an undercount); 62 villages and farms inside the "yellow line" occupation zone, covering ~6% of Lebanon and extending ~10km inland, with ~270,000 residents barred from returning. Over 20% of the south's farmland and forest destroyed, ancient olive groves worst hit. All Litani river bridges destroyed; at least 2,500km of water infrastructure gone.

3) This is stated policy and an intentional plan to make an entire area uninhabitable and never allow the population to return. Defence minister Israel Katz explicitly invoked the "Rafah and Beit Hanoun model" and later boasted of destroying "24 Lebanese villages… not house by house, but entire villages."

4) This is without a doubt a war crime. Destruction of property requires immediate military necessity and not speculative ideas that Hezbollah may use a building some day. Not allowing the return amounts to the ethnic cleansing of the area.

The lack of any real consequences for Gaza, meant that Israel felt free to do the same in Lebanon. It is now doing the same in the West Bank. This will stop unless we stop it.

Concentration camp 2025
Starving people forced to walk miles
under scorching heat.
Lined up like animals,
only a few are fed.
Some are arrested,
Some are shot at.

New Israel US joint venture.

The worst humanity is capable of from the bastions of Power.

We.
Must.
Stop.
This.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The vast majority of Israelis openly call for ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and nearly half call for total extermination. This is a wildly genocidal society and it must be stopped.

@conorsmurf Teachers should absolutely never upload students' work to AI without their consent, for all the reasons you've outlined. Personally, I believe teachers should correct their own students' work.

Imagine the level of impunity you operate with to say this stuff out loud.

He was clinging to his mother. They had to pull him off his mother, who was holding him tightly, protecting him with her own body, until her last breath. His mother that 'israel' just murdered and his tight grip, holding onto her until the last moment. Let this break your heart.

This was fourteen months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 13,255 kids since.

US backed Israel is committing genocide.

British backed Israel is committing genocide.

EU backed Israel is committing genocide.

Remember that one of the reasons babies are freezing to death is that the Israeli government is limiting the entry of tents, winter clothing, and blankets.

New Taliban rule:

Women are no longer allowed to be visible from house windows under any circumstance. If the kitchen has a window, women can't even cook near it.

This comes after other rulings that women are forbidden from making sounds or even speaking to each other.

[Accountability Archive 🟢🔴⚫ @archivegenocide]

🟢 Israel has raided Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last functioning hospital in the North of Gaza and abducted its staff.
🔴 Detainees were stripped and beaten. The whereabouts of medical staff such as Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya are still unknown.
⚫️ Medical professionals around the globe have an obligation to speak out. This attack on protected groups must be condemned, and the hospital staff must be released.

As always, keep logging evidence of power holders justifying attacks on hospitals.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Netanyahu can have an ICC arrest warrant and still openly announce a plan to double illegal settlements in the already illegally occupied Golan Heights. And not a peep from "the West."

You're a fool if you think such impunity won't have broader consequences.
