"Israel is brazenly flouting an order of a court it appeared before. It is indiscriminately killing civilians seeking refuge. This is a flagrant violation of the rule of law and a war crime. It is time the international community put sanctions on Israel as it did to South Africa."
Don Davies, Member of Parliament, Vancouver Kingsway, Canada
(From Resistance Sources) The IOF launched heavy airstrikes targeting multiple areas across the Gaza Strip:
Northern Gaza:
The humanitarian situation is catastrophic in northern Gaza Strip, especially in terms of famine, reports Al-Mayadeen.
10 martyrs and 17 wounded have been reported in the IOF bombing of Al-Nazla School in the Al-Saftawi area, in northern Gaza.
10 martyrs and several injured have been reported in the targeting of a house near shelters in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza Strip.
3 martyrs (a woman and her two children) ascended due to the bombing of the Shreiteh family home by IOF warplanes in Al-Sabra neighborhood, southern Gaza City, in northern Gaza.
IOF artillery shelling is targeting the Beit Lahia project and Al-Qasasib neighborhood in Jabalia camp, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Southern Gaza:
For the first time, occupation forces executed belts of fire in central Rafah city according to Al-Mayadeen. The belts of fire have reached the vicinity of the Kuwaiti hospital, which is the only operational hospital in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah appeals to the World Health Organization to urgently provide fuel to ensure it remains operational.
#Occupation forces are completely destroying residential buildings in some neighborhoods of #Rafah, particularly in Al-Shawka and Al-Jneina.
Central Gaza:
Heavy artillery shelling targeted multiple areas including Wadi Gaza, Al-Bureij, and Salah Al-Din. Fire from occupation vehicles has been reported. (media 1)
The ICJ rulings last week as to Israel also included rulings as to Hamas; including a cease fire order and an order that Hamas release all Israeli hostages. The US through Anthony #Blinken said that Israel can ignore the ICJ rulings directed to it. I assume Blinken is also directing Hamas to ignore the rulings against it, to keep fighting, and to continue holding the Israeli hostages.
"Hamas’s massacre of about 1,200 people last October was appalling, criminal and unforgivable – and must and will be punished. It does not justify Israel’s disproportionate, illegal and indiscriminately lethal response in Gaza."
Palestine has ignited our planetary consciousness once again, and it is the student movement that refuses to let genocide become our new normal. They know that the fight for Palestine is a fight for us all.
Before I sleep, I have this image of your body under the rubble. It flashes into my mind and makes my heart sink. Then I pick up my phone and go to our photos.
"You can't really sustain racism & the kind of violence that's perpetrated against Palestinians without fear. Fear & mistrust are the foundation...
"Growing up in Jerusalem, there was no wall, no checkpoints, but you wouldn't dream of going into a Palestinian neighborhood in Jerusalem - because of these walls & checkpoints that were built inside your head".
"Here in Australia, as in a number of other countries, a misleading campaign has been led by unelected and unrepresentative organisations claiming to represent the Jewish community. Most of these organisations are uncritical defenders of successive Israeli governments with close connections to Israeli intelligence agencies.
The key claim of these unrepresentative organisations has been that the opposition and protests against the Israeli army’s war in Gaza is led by ‘antisemites’, and that many of the students and other participants in the protests are ‘antisemitic’."
"I was ... deeply surprised and deeply disturbed when I heard that Australian vice-chancellors were going to follow in the footsteps of heads of American universities in calling the police to dismantle student encampments at Australian universities.
