Journalist Jeremy Loffredo goes inside the grassroots Israeli campaign to block desperately needed aid to the besieged Gaza Strip and elicits the shockingly candid views of the Jewish Israeli nationalists manning the barricades.
CNN published their investigation into the flour massacre, which analyzed footage and gunfire. The investigation found that the Israeli military lied about the incident and carried out the killing of at least 118 starving Palestinians and injuring over 700 seeking aid in northern Gaza and dozens more “flour massacres” after that.
World Food Kitchen discovered how UNRWA supplying the coordinates of their operations in Gaza to the IDF in advance, as required, results in accidental precision guided drone killings.
Every single week for the last 21 weeks upon #Gadigal land, there have been thousands upon thousands (sometimes easily tens of thousands) of people gathering in support of a #ceasefire in #Gaza and calling upon the Australian #Albanese government to stop supporting #Israel in its #genocide.
Every Sunday in Hyde Park at 1.30pm,* we've listened to #Aboriginal speakers, #Palestinian speakers, #Jewish speakers, politicians of various stripes (though neither of the major parties, of course, as they both remain complicit in support of the government responsible for most of the slaughter), elders who lived through the #Naqba, teenagers organising #StudentStrike4Palestine, community leaders, poets, faith leaders and more, with perhaps 75% of the speakers being women, and almost all being people of colour (most of the exceptions being MPs).
*Except when #NSWpolice has dictated otherwise, giving priority to (much smaller and only) occasional pro-Israel rallies and forcing a shift to Saturday a couple of times, under threat of #PoliceViolence.
Then we've marched (or rolled) with flags, banners, signs, drums and (loud!) voices: Arab, Aboriginal, African, Anglo, Asian and more; from those too old to walk (in wheelchairs) to those too young to walk (in strollers).
What’s this? Actual coverage? Mentioned in a headline? And then read on—surprise, surprise—to discover yesterday's instance of sustained weekly protest demanding an end to genocidal violence is treated as though it were a one-off event in response to the 'Flour Massacre' (one of the few Israeli atrocities to have received more than passing coverage by mainstream media), and Guardian Australia immediately contrasts it with a pro-Israel rally on the other side of the continent, an event that video and other reports put in the mere hundreds (with a pro-Palestinian counterprotest of similar size, the counterprotest unmentioned by Guardian Australia).

@lin11c@RepShontelBrown I believe every person with a functional brain is wondering the exact same thing. How the hell can USA guarantee that IOF won't mass murder more innocent civilians, trying to run to get aid - when Biden has told staff to veto at UN 4 times - including about admitting #FlourMassacre & their state rep saying ppl were trampled - when victims have bullets in them.
Biden can stop this NOW by enacting arms embargo & saying he made a big mistake in helping Israel.
@GottaLaff Well that is some good news. Hopefully the #IOF won't ambush the civilians attempting to access the air drops with tank fire. #FlourMassacre
'Deeply Shocked': India on Palestinians Killed During Delivery of Humanitarian Aid

I don't see much coverage of this in the mainstream media.... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
