Euro-Med Monitor: Investigate Reports ‘Israel’ Burying Victims Alive

December 18, 2023 Palestine Chronicle,  Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , ,
The human rights organization Euro-Med Monitor has urged to probe Israeli war crimes after reports of Palestinian civilians buried alive at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. In a report published on Saturday, the Geneva-based group said that “an independent international investigation must be opened into these reports.” According to Euro-Med Monitor, “Israeli army bulldozers drove into the hospital (on Saturday) morning and destroyed its southern section, leaving behind massive destruction following several days of non-stop attacks and siege.”

Forcible Transfer Of 85% Of Gazans Is A Crime Against Humanity

December 12, 2023 Marjorie Cohn, Truthout. , , , , , ,
Since the October 7 attacks by Hamas that killed 1,200 people in Israel, the Israeli occupying forces have killed more than 17,000 Palestinians, over 7,000 of them children, and wounded more than 46,000. Close to 1.9 million people — about 85 percent of Gaza’s population — have been forced to flee their homes and squeeze into roughly one-third of the Gaza Strip. The vast majority of people in Gaza have been displaced and are on the verge of starvation. On October 13, in anticipation of its ground invasion into Gaza, Israel ordered 1.1 million Palestinians in northern Gaza to evacuate to the south within 24 hours.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 66: Israel Attacks Ambulances, Medics

International medical groups are becoming increasingly concerned about Israel’s full-on attacks against healthcare as the military continues targeting paramedics, ambulances, patients, and doctors. On Sunday, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported the Israeli military opening fire on an ambulance carrying critically wounded patients as well as obstructing, detaining, and abusing paramedics. The incident took place on Monday morning as six PRCS ambulances, escorted by the United Nations (UN), evacuated 11 critical patients from Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City to a hospital in the besieged enclave.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 59: Palestinians Have Nowhere To Run

In the last 24 hours, Israeli forces have targeted homes, commercial centers, and hospitals across all of the Gaza Strip, where civilians have been experiencing non-stop bombardment, killing tens if not hundreds of people. On Monday morning, Al Jazeera reported that Israeli tanks and armored vehicles began entering southern Gaza, moving towards Khan Younis from the east. “The [military] continues to extend its ground operation against Hamas centers in all of the Gaza Strip,” Daniel Hagari told reporters in Tel Aviv. The army added that its invasion into the south will exhibit “no less strength” than its previous offensive in the north. If allowed to continue, the attack is likely to result in thousands more civilian deaths, including children.

Yemen’s Armed Forces Resume Attacks Against Israel

December 4, 2023 Tanupriya Singh, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that it had launched two direct attacks on Israeli ships in the Bab Al-Mandab Strait off Yemen’s coast on December 3. The spokesperson for the Forces, Brigadier-General Yahya Saree confirmed the operation on Sunday, stating that it was in response to the demands of the Yemeni people and the “free people of our Arab and Islamic nation, to stand fully with the choices of the Palestinian people and their steadfast resistance”. Saree added that Yemen’s naval forces had carried out a targeted attack on the Unity Explorer and Ship No.9 vessels, the first with a naval missile and the second with a naval drone.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 56: Truce Ends, Israel Kills Over 100 In Gaza

December 1, 2023 Palestine Bureau, Mondoweiss. , , , , , ,
A fragile, seven-day truce came to an end on Friday morning. According to Mondoweiss counting, Israel killed at least 20 Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem during the temporary ceasefire, while detaining more Palestinians than were released during the hostage swap that took place during the same period. Throughout the ceasefire, Israel repeatedly stated its intention to resume the war, but ultimately accused Hamas of breaking the terms of the truce today. Qatar, which has led mediation efforts between Israel and Hamas, expressed “deep regret at the resumption of the Israeli aggression against Gaza” on X (formerly Twitter), while adding that negotiations were still ongoing to return to another temporary pause in fighting.

‘A Mass Assassination Factory’: Inside Israel’s Calculated Bombing Of Gaza

December 1, 2023 Yuval Abraham, +972 Magazine. , , , , , ,
The Israeli army’s expanded authorization for bombing non-military targets, the loosening of constraints regarding expected civilian casualties, and the use of an artificial intelligence system to generate more potential targets than ever before, appear to have contributed to the destructive nature of the initial stages of Israel’s current war on the Gaza Strip, an investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals. These factors, as described by current and former Israeli intelligence members, have likely played a role in producing what has been one of the deadliest military campaigns against Palestinians since the Nakba of 1948.

International Day In Solidarity With The Palestinian People

December 1, 2023 People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
On the International Day in Solidarity with the Palestinian People, the people of the world are demanding a fully liberated Palestine. November 29 was also the last day of the temporary pause in the Israeli war on Gaza, negotiated between Israel and Hamas. However, a day long extension was achieved through negotiations just ahead of its expiration. Mass movements around the world are standing unequivocally with the people of Palestine, facing a genocidal war in Gaza with at least 15,000 Palestinians killed by Israel. Even during the pause in aggression, Israeli forces continue to kill Palestinians, recently targeting the Jenin refugee camp and slaughtering two children in a raid last night.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 54: Two Children Killed By Israeli Forces

November 29, 2023 Leila Warah, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
While many of the people in Gaza are spending Wednesday, the last day of the temporary truce, trying to collect basic necessities like food and cooking oil in preparation for the Israeli bombardment to resume, political leaders are discussing yet another extension. Under the four-day truce deal, which began on Friday and has already been extended by two more days, Hamas has released 60 of about 240 captives from the Gaza Strip, and Israel has released 180 Palestinian political prisoners, all women and children. Another round of hostage exchanges is expected to take place on Wednesday evening. Ghazi Hamad, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, says the group has been working “very hard” with the mediating countries to “reach a compromise” and “extend the ceasefire.”

Israeli Tank Gunner Reveals Orders To Fire Indiscriminately Into Kibbutz

November 28, 2023 Wyatt Reed and Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. , , , , , , , ,
Firsthand testimony by admittedly inexperienced Israeli tank operators reveals orders to open fire upon Israeli communities when Palestinian militants breached the fences encircling Gaza on October 7. A glowing profile of an all-female tank company by Israel’s N12 News network contains admissions by the 20-year-old captain — identified only as ‘Karni’ — that she was ordered by a “panicked” soldier to open fire on homes in the Holit kibbutz whether they contained civilians or not. Ten Israelis were killed in Holit on October 7; no children were among the dead. “The soldier points and tells me, “shoot there — the terrorists are there,”” the captain recounts in the newly-released footage, noting that when she asked “are there civilians there?,” her compatriot simply replied, “I don’t know,” and ordered her to “just shoot” a tank round into the buildings anyway.

Australia Too Is Aiding Gaza Massacre

November 28, 2023 Kellie Tranter, Consortium News. , , , , , , , ,
Australian-equipped Israeli Air Force F-35 Joint Strike Fighters are being used to commit what amounts to war crimes in Gaza by bombing civilians and providing aerial support for a murderous ground invasion. The Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter global supply program is a co-operative partnership, with Australia an enthusiastic member and part of the global supply chain. The Australian government cannot escape the uses to which these aircraft are being put. A week ago came news that Israel is stockpiling spare parts from the global supply chain, that Australia contributes to, for its F-35 ‘Adir’ fighter out of a central distribution hub in Europe.

Media Outlets Call For An End To Israel’s Massacre Of Journalists

November 27, 2023 People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
The world is waiting in cautious anticipation amid the four-day pause in hostilities in Gaza, giving Palestinians a brief respite from the incessant Israeli airstrikes. Israel did not cease its bombing of the enclave from October 7, when it declared war on Hamas following the surprise Al-Aqsa Flood Operation launched by Palestinian resistance groups, to the start of the pause on November 24. In these nearly seven weeks, over 15,000 Palestinians were killed and 33,000 have been injured. The number of missing is around 6,800, many of whom are presumed dead or still trapped under the rubble.

Second Nakba; Same Israeli Lies; Same Western Narrative

November 26, 2023 Jonathan Cook, Consortium News. , , , , , , , , , , ,
History is repeating itself — and every politician and establishment journalist is pretending they cannot see what is staring them in the face. There is a collective and wilful refusal to join the dots in Gaza, even when they point in one direction only. There has been a consistent pattern to Israel’s behaviour since its creation 75 years ago — just as there has been a consistent pattern to the “see no evil, hear no evil” response of western powers. In 1948, in events the Palestinians call their “Nakba,” or Catastrophe, 80 percent of Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their lands in what became the self-declared Jewish state of Israel.

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 49: Four-Day Truce Begins In Gaza

November 24, 2023 Palestine Bureau, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
A planned four-day temporary ceasefire mediated by Qatar began at 7 a.m. on Friday in the Gaza Strip after 48 days of relentless bombardment and fighting. A first batch of hostages is expected to be released by Hamas and Israel on Friday afternoon, as part of a prisoner exchange deal that is set to see the exchange of 50 Israelis held by Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza since October 7 with 150 Palestinian women and children detained in Israeli prisons. At 4 p.m. local time, 13 Israeli women and children are scheduled to be taken to the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, then flown back to Israel via helicopter.

Global Condemnation Of Their Crimes Spells Doom For Zionist Criminals

November 24, 2023 Mark P. Fancher, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
In the gray, smoldering rubble of Gaza, hope is elusive. The wails of babies clutched in the arms of staggering, broken, bloody Palestinian civilians are surpassed in volume only by Zionist bombs that shake the earth, level multilevel structures and create scenes so hellish that even vultures probably pass on the chance to feast on a massive banquet of carnage. The world strains to find even the slightest reason for encouragement, and perhaps the only positive that flows dialectically from a profound negative is that the truth rises from Gaza’s ruins more brightly than a thousand suns.
