Sad news about the little Palestinian girl, Hind found dead after being trapped in car with dead relatives. The Israelis also shot dead ambulance workers dispatched to help her - the Israelis claimed they “didn’t know about” this incident. @palestine @israel

Nour Naim: Israel is demolishing what remains of the houses, so it can't be restored.
This is a full-swing plan to destroy all houses in the north of so that displaced people who were told to go to south TEMPORARILY can't return; this is same scenario as what happened in 1948 & after. (How can Israel justify this? It cannot prove these are homes of Hamas & it is obviously an effort at permanent displacement) @palestine @israel

Husam Zomlot (Palestinian Ambassador to the UK): This is 7 year old Sidra, the cousin of my wife. The impact of the Israeli missile was so powerful it flung her out, leaving her mutilated body dangling from the ruins of the destroyed building in Rafah 48 hours ago. My wife’s aunt Suzan, her husband Fouzy Hassouna, two of their sons, Muhammad and Karam, Karam's wife Amouna and her three children (7-year-old twins Sidra and Suzan, and 15-month-old Malik) were all killed. The family had been displaced from the north of Gaza and took shelter in Rafah. We will be relentless until those responsible brought to justice. @palestine @israel

Rasha Qandeel: Important announcement:

In continuation of my journalistic project since the 7th of October along with a group of volunteers from my fellow journalists around the world to document the crimes of Israel of war crimes, crimes against humanity, targeting of UN organizations, medical compounds, kidnapping, torturing and genocide in , presenting them to the lawyers and prosecutors of the International Criminal Court, I join the lawsuit brought by the respectable South African country sending all evidence we collected to the court.

The International Criminal Court has initiated a link to urging everyone who has videos, documents or others documenting crimes in to send to the ICC. It is not required that the filer of that complaint be affected. This link is open to all individuals and all entities. All you have to do is to register your data and your country and download your documents or videos, even if a newspaper photo.

The link:

Arnaud Bertrand: This is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary interviews of a former senior US government official on Gaza.

This is Chas Freeman, former Assistant Secretary of Defense and former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

Key points in the video:

  • He agrees that many of the victims of Oct 7th were killed by the Israeli army in the form of "undisciplined fire by helicopters with hellfire missiles or by tanks with incendiary rounds directed at buildings". In the case of the victims of the music festival he even says they "were largely killed, it appears, by hellfire missiles and by other undisciplined fire by Israeli forces". To him this "disgrace in military terms" stems from a "lack of discipline and training necessary to respond" but also from the IDF's "Hannibal directive", which "says that rather than get into bargaining over hostage exchange you should just kill the Israeli hostages along with their captors."

@israel @palestine 2) "Give Hamas enormous popularity among Palestinians because they are seen as having stood up, as having been willing to accept death rather than captivity". He refers to Norman Finkelstein's "analogy of slave revolts in the U.S." and particularly the "1831 revolt by Nat Turner, a well-educated very intelligent enslaved African who led a slave revolt in Southern Virginia which had as its objective the murder of every white person they encountered." He says it "raises a moral question: 'Is the violence of the slave-owner morally the same as the violence of the slave trying to end that violence?'. The same moral question arises with Israeli oppression of Palestinians versus Palestinian resistance to oppression."

Sherifazuhur,
@Sherifazuhur@sfba.social avatar

@israel @palestine All in all he concludes that much like the violence against African-Americans that followed slave revolts in the 19th century, the Israeli vengeance against Palestinians "won't be remembered fondly by anyone in the future". In fact he goes as far as saying that "when people think of Israel in the past they thought of it as a refuge for the victims of the Holocaust... now they will think of it as the home of perpetrators of genocide. When they think of Israel, they will think of burned buildings and dead babies. This is an image problem of a fundamental nature and from the point of view of Israel it strips Israel of its protection by charges of antisemitism against anyone who is critical of Israel because to be critical of people who are carrying out genocide cannot be antisemitism, it cannot be considered immoral. Antisemitism is a despicable attitude but to oppose genocide by Israel is not."
