First #Netanyahu herds Palestinians into Rafah, and now he's telling them to evacuate Rafah. Where are they supposed to go?
The govt of #Israel is deliberately committing #genocide against the #Palestinian people, but trying to cover its ass by claiming, "Hey, we told them to evacuate and gave them a couple of hours to do so."
Can you imagine trying to evacuate Dallas, Texas (or any major American city) in just a couple of hours?
@fulelo oh please, spare us. The US should stop arming the perpetrator of this war. That’s what they should do and the right thing to do. The American press is just unbearable and hypocritical.
@fulelo I don't think the US can get supplies to the shore of Gaza safely. Uncontroled crowds of hungry people plus armed Hamas militants keen to take Americans hostage make it very dangerous.
Air dropping medical supplies to hospitals might also not work for US aircraft. Jordanian aircraft might be safe.
"Last month, the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in #Jerusalem accused #Israel of imposing an unprecedented ban on independent foreign #press access to #Gaza, after the #Israeli High Court of Justice rejected a petition from the organisation & ruled that restrictions on entry were justified...
"According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), at least 83 Palestinian and two Israeli journalists and media workers have been killed since the start of the war." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68423995
V AFP:
' #Fatah hit back at #Hamas late Friday, accusing the Islamist movement in a statement of "having caused the return of the #Israeli occupation of #Gaza " by "undertaking the October 7 adventure".
This led to a "catastrophe even more horrible and cruel than that of 1948", a reference to the displacement and expulsion of some 760,000 Palestinians from their lands at the creation of Israel, they said.'
'The global body responsible for declaring famine, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), reported this Monday that 1.1 million people - virtually half the population of #Gaza - was already starving'
@fulelo Much better news than what is ground-truth reality on the ground in Palestine: A fundamentalist organisation, Hamas, is as popular as ever, as the hope for Palestinians being bombed out of existence.
@lymphomation thanks for your thoughtful post. To the jist, if you see a post from me that starts with #BBCNews it means it is unaltered bbc material e g. I don't write the headline. There were many an editorial discussion until bbc online ended up with the phrases it currently uses and most of the bbc sticks with these
@SteveThompson I hear you and context is helpful... a few days ago I posted an article based on a report looking into the dramatic rise of antisemitic incidents - not including comparisons as it was solely about antisemitic incidents and someone kept messaging me along the lines of but 'what about'...
@fulelo As I suggested: British aid air-dropped "on a Jordanian Air Force plane"
I'm glad they got supplies to to the Tal Al-Hawa Hospital in northern Gaza
@fulelo BBC so keen on reporting this while they completely bypassed the first day of the ICJ hearing, or even spending any word for all the journalists killed by the IDF in Gaza.
scores of prior IDF attacks targeting hospitals and medical facilities
forced displacement of multiple hospitals
broader collapse of Gaza's health system amidst Gaza being rendered 'uninhabitable' by IDF violence
Israeli blockade of crucial medical supplies (and food, water, power)
over 85% displaced population amidst over 70% destroyed buildings
widespread accusations of IDF war crimes, ethnic cleansing and genocide, now being evaluated by the ICJ
pattern of previous IDF claims being unsubstantiated and turning out to be likely false (I note the BBC issued an apology recently for reporting a Hamas claim (also made by numerous Palestinian journalists and witnesses) of certain IDF atrocities, yet continues to routinely publish unverified Likud-Israeli claims)
Without this context, this report - as shocking as it is - risks leaving readers with a significantly understated grasp on the severity of the crisis unfolding. Do better BBC.
@fulelo This is a remarkably comprehensive report about the journalists killed in Gaza on Sunday, with comments from all relevant parties. Excellent work by the BBC.
@fulelo
Everything in North Gaza is destroyed, women, children, hospitals, churches, mosques, schools, cats, dogs.
The IDF have even bulldozed the graves of the people they murdered. Netanyahu is destroying Israel from the outside in.
@fulelo
Don't you think it's about time the #BBC started interviewing actual Palestinians, instead of constantly airing the opinions of Zionists and asking Israelis what they think should be done with Gaza after they have finished with the ethnic cleansing?
The BBC is as guilty of dehumanising Palestinians as anyone, As a British person, if I want a balanced view of the #middleeast I have to watch #aljazeera on YouTube, ffs.
