Al Jazeera locates young girl in Gaza seen carrying injured sister | Al Jazeera Newsfeed YouTube video by Al Jazeera English

It's surreal how she has a sweet smile on her face in spite of everything she's going through. Her message should be heard by everyone.

Footage has surfaced online showing blindfolded and detained Palestinians being transported by Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza.

The video shows Palestinians on the backs of Israeli military trucks wearing what appear to be hazmat suits while blindfolded, being driven to an unknown location:

"The mass killing and the destruction of the conditions for life that the attack in the Gaza Strip is causing is not an unintended result of the response to the Hamas attack on October 7, but a goal in itself. They are a component of the overall Israeli strategy ..."

Children torn to pieces. Witness accounts of tired and starving mothers running away with their surviving children while leaving behind the limbs of the their killed children on the floor of bombed shelters.

Welp. So the *faculty* got suspended for their “study-in” protest in which they simply read books on free speech and displayed small signs quoting the library’s own mission statement.

Hearing some progressives argue that Jill Stein is some sort of anti-imperialist, anti-war candidate, or some sort of viable moral protest vote just makes me think that people are willing to ignore inconvenient history. You can't "educate" a candidate who looked at Syria or Ukraine & said "okay."

After every protest, authorities say: "You are protesting the wrong way, you need to do it this way instead."
Protesters: * protest in the suggested manner *
Authorities: "No, not like that."

Intense bombardments, mass displacements and lack of access in northern Gaza force the postponement of polio vaccination campaign Due to the escalating violence, intense bombardment, mass displacement orders, and lack of assured humanitarian pauses across most of northern Gaza, the Polio Technical Committee for Gaza, including t...

What is happening in North Gaza is facilitating a population wipeout. No food, no water, just barrels of explosives falling on displaced and entrapped families and children. This unmitigated cruelty should make the entire world stop in its tracks, but instead it has been turned 'business as usual'

Displaced girl carries little sister on her shoulders for more than two kilometres in Gaza seeking medical treatment The little sister had reportedly been hit by a car, and the young girl had been carrying her barefoot.

Seeing such a tiny girl walk miles on her feet carrying her sister on her back should break all of us. We must all see this and look at her face.

There is enough evidence here for several war crimes tribunals to examine, not one. Much of this info was available to the US State Department, yet, they concluded Israel's army was not violating US law.

I should not have read this before sleeping. Might be the most horrible document of human behavior i have ever read. If you want to see how genocide thinks - here you go.

After it gaslit everyone into thinking Palestinians bombed their own hospital (Al-Ahli), levelled another it said without proof was a “Hamas command centre” (Al-Shifa), Israel has absolutely relinquished any benefit of doubt when it comes to assessing hospitals

Don’t believe it on Al-Sahel

Israel claims Hezbollah bunker under Beirut hospital holds millions of dollars Sahel hospital evacuated despite Israel saying it would not attack it although at least four people died in nearby strikes

Remember the “Hamas command centre” under Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza?

You know the one for which Israel and the US couldn’t produce any evidence, even after flattening the medical centre?

That’s this again. Manufacturing consent for massacres www.theguardian.com/world/2024/o...

Look at the horror of the last year in Gaza: it can still get much worse, if this is allowed to continue.
This is where it is going. The elimination of Palestinians between the river and the sea through direct killing, siege, and expulsion. It can happen in mere 2-3 years.

Barring international press, barring UN orgs, barring humanitarian aid, barring medical orgs, cutting off telecom are ways to fast-track ethnic cleanisng, starvation & mass atrocities in Gaza.

Not 1 condemnation from the Biden/Harris regime--only rewards.

‘He got out of Gaza, but Gaza did not get out of him’: Israeli soldiers returning from war struggle with trauma and suicide | CNN For many soldiers, the war against Hamas in Gaza is a fight for Israel’s survival and must be won by any means. But the battle is also taking a mental toll that, due to stigma, is largely hidden from ...

"In a testimony to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in June, Zaken said that on many occasions, soldiers had to “run over terrorists, dead and alive, in the hundreds.”" -- and when they say terrorists, they really mean Palestinian men. period.

This genocide is continuously unfolding.

In Jabalia, the Israeli army is bulldoziung homes in real time with innocent families screaming inside. This US govt funded extermination campaign is santizied in our media feeds with banal headlines like "Scores dead in Gaza" --- Out of breath and out of words.

All the odds are, they're in my favor
Something's about to begin
It's gonna happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time, for the first time 😵‍💫

If politics is a repeated game, then Dems should put their money where their mouth is and show allyship w/ Arab American voters, instead, they bracketed atrocities funded by a Democratic admin and proceeded to yell at Arab voters for not showing up. Time to give that argument a crirical look.

I'm curious about this argument. ArabAm voters were told that in 2020 and helped elect Biden, & when he backed Israel's murderous campaign liberals mostly moved on & refused to press their party, or even give the uncommitted a brief speech at the convention. Why should they believe this logic again?

How Israel’s Army Uses Palestinians as Human Shields in Gaza Israeli soldiers and Palestinian former detainees say troops have regularly forced captured Gazans to carry out life-threatening tasks, including inside Hamas tunnels.

We've long known about this atrocity, but academics, media figures, and govt mouthpieces have done crazy gymnastics to avoid calling these actions what they are: war crimes. Our lives and bodily integrity as Palestinian men are deemed of such little value to many in these 'esteemed' professions

From Sunday: Al Jazeera publishes video of Israeli military using captive Palestinians as human shields – sending them into boobytrapped buildings and tunnels as defenseless, camera-rigged minesweepers: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSbW...

Israeli attack on northern Gaza hints at retired general's "surrender or starve" plan for war Giora Eiland tells Jeremy Bowen that Israel should tell Palestinians to leave northern Gaza before sealing it off as a way of pressuring Hamas.

“Hints” is a stupid word in the headline. But what the article details is a plan for mass murder and forced displacement. Future generations will wonder why we let this happen.
