“I saw bodies everywhere. Children burning. I saw heads without bodies, the injured running around in pain, some alive but trapped inside burning tents.”
~ Zuhair, a lawyer sheltering in a tent in Rafah with his family, on the Israel attack on the tent camp
"Where is Joe Biden’s fury about decapitated Palestinian babies? Politicians parroted untrue rumors that Hamas had beheaded Israeli babies. When the children are Palestinian, they shrug."
John Ganz, who says that loving books has always been the definition of Jewishness for him as a Jew, reflects on images of Israeli soldiers burning books in light of Heinrich Heine's oft-quoted statement that where people burn books, they'll end up burning people. Heine's observation took on gruesome meaning when the Nazis inaugurated their reign of terror by burning books.
Stacy Gilbert, who served as a senior civilian-military #advisor to the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration #PRM, sent an email to staff saying she was resigning because she felt the State Department had made the wrong assessment
Alexander Smith, a #contractor for the #USAID said he was given a choice between #resignation & #dismissal after preparing a presentation on maternal & child #mortality among Palestinians, which was cancelled at the last minute by USAID leadership last week.
"If the #Israeli assault stopped today, and we decided to hold a funeral every single day for each #Palestinian killed in the last eight months, it would take us 100 years to honor them all."
The Palestinian speaker at the #UN Security Council highlights the devastating toll of casualties among #Palestinians resulting from the Israeli #genocide in #Gaza.
"The killing of at least 45 Palestinians in a humanitarian zone near Rafah has caused anger that reaches far beyond the Middle East. And yet Israel’s offensive is expected to continue, with several Israeli tanks spotted in the centre of Rafah on Tuesday, witnesses told Reuters news agency."
"Not only is [Israel] committing war crimes & likely genocide..they use their spy chief to threaten to hurt family members of ICC prosecutors."
~Trita Parsi
"Israeli intelligence chief spent close to a decade attempting to intimidate the ICC's prosecutor into halting a war crimes probe", saying, "You don't want to be getting into things that could compromise your security or that of your family."
@DrALJONES nothing and nobody will dissuade Naziyahoo and his fellow war criminals from cleansing #palestine of #palestinians which has been a goal since shortly after the foundation of the state of #israel
Meanwhile, the international community sits, largely, on its hands or supplies weapons and munitions to carry on the killing.
Not enough swear words for how I feel about the US #genocide accomplice government & folks dumb enough to place all blame at #Netanyahu feet - when this genocide of #Palestinians has been the fucking goal of #Israel government for several decades & far before Bibi-Bloodbather had any influence in Israel.
Your country #USA fucking created #Trump. Your country ignored #neoliberalism leading up to Trump. Your country is focused on Trump, when he'll just be replaced by another poster #fascist face.
Some of you are freaking the hell out about Haley autographing bombs. Who sent those fucking #bombs? When some of you haven't freaked out as hard over THOUSANDS of #MURDERED#PALESTINIANS.
GTFO with how you care about Palestinian lives when you're not even posting about them but blasting away at a bigot sellout chump - doing #bigot chump shit.
A photo from #Rafah today captures #Palestinians targeted and killed by #Israeli drones, their bodies lying beside graffiti that vividly depicts the grim reality of #Gaza.
A moral outrage, few leaders, incl. Dems in the US, have spoken about IL's #warcrimes.
"Nothing justifies what we've witnessed here" -the doctors said -what they faced was beyond anything they could've imagined. Dr: was woken up at 2am to operate on an urgent case. “A man in his 30s was brought in after his entire bldg was bombed -open wound to his abdomen, his hand was falling off... shrapnel had completely sliced thru him -died. ~36K #Palestinians in Gaza: dead💔.
I have been updated on latest #Israel#genocide attacks & am upset that there's still no sanctions & no arms embargo on Israel. Our governments are complicit in silence of condemnations against Israel's genocide on #Palestinians & some governments are still funding a terrorist, pariah, apartheid state of ongoing evil, racist violence on all Palestinians.
I don't need to see more gore images. As a war survivor, I already know what bombs do to human bodies. Please CW very graphic images of murder
"People returning to their homeland" do not have the right to just kill and take. #Putin uses this excuse to attack Ukraine. #Hitler used it to attack Poland.
#Palestinians are not migrants. They were there first. They are natives. Recent WASP converts to Judaism are not.
