What Israel did in Gaza is so massive that nobody is talking about the ethnic cleansing (in legalese: the war crime and crime against humanity of forced displacement in the context of the crime of genocide) of tens of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank.

[Dylan Williams @dylanotes]

That’s a lie.

Israel & Hamas agreed to a 3-phase hostage release & ceasefire deal.

Israel refused to move to the second phase. Hamas insisted Israel stick to the agreement.

Israel then cut off all food, medicine & other supplies to Gaza.

It’s now fully breaking the ceasefire.

Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.

The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

Where is the International Criminal Court?

British surgeon Nizam Mamode broke down in UK Parliament, describing Israel’s quadcopters DELIBERATELY TARGETING CHILDREN who had just been bombed.

Residents of northern Gaza are enduring a blackout. Massacres go unreported as Israeli forces have killed or forcibly expelled most journalists and activists in the area. Northern Gaza is facing ethnic cleansing through horrific massacres. Don’t stop talking about it!

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

This was one year ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 12,885 kids since.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

What is called when an ethnic group is forcibly expelled from their homes and land and not allowed to return?

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

“Doctors Without Borders is outraged by the REPEATED killings of our staff in Gaza”

It is insane that they have to beg Israel to stop KILLING their staff but US weapons keep flowing to attack medical workers.

[Rob @robrousseau]

A year ago Israel bombed a hospital, there was an international outcry so a bunch of media and political figures ran cover for them. now they're just burning people alive in hospitals with zero pretext or effort to cover it up at all

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

I am Dr. Ezzideen, working at the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza. For the past two days, the road to the hospital has been blocked, and we haven’t been able to reach it. Today, the hospital was threatened with evacuation, or it will be bombed. Many of my fellow doctors are trapped inside, unable to leave as quadcopter drones target any movement around the hospital.

These 9 meters deep craters used to be a refugee camp, dozens of tents housing hundreds of forcibly displaced people. All gone

[Defense for Children @DCIPalestine]

1 in 3 Palestinian child detainees in the occupied West Bank are held by Israeli forces without charge or trial. We spoke to several children who survived torture at the hands of Israeli soldiers and interrogators. https://t.co/eMeNF1BDty

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

It doesn’t matter how many doctors who worked in Gaza have said this, it’s still failed to become a major story in mainstream media.

[Mira Hammad @MiraHammad10]

So you gave him a cover story and printed what you knew were outright lies? What kind of client journalism is that?

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"Its actually quite clear... the state of Israel is perpetrating war crimes in plain sight"

Foreign office official Mark Smith, whose job was to advise the govt on the legality of arms sales, explains why he's resigned over UK arms sales to Israel.

Full resignation letter from FCDO British diplomat Mark Smith:

“In the United States’ Guantanamo Bay detention camp, nine prisoners were killed in twenty years; in Israel, it’s sixty detainees in ten months.”

[Elaine Scattermoon @scattermoon]

Not a big fan of this growing perception that 'we' defeated the far right with one day of polite kindness especially as not one of the root problems has been addressed and the hatesmiths are still plying their trade across our legacy and social media.
