The Israeli army bombed Gazans in their tents in the "safe zone" where it told them to go. Eyewitnesses told Mondoweiss most of the dead were burned alive or decapitated and dismembered, many of them children.
@dozymoe@palestine@israel There have been some photos shared online that appear to show parts of the munitions indicating they are U.S.-made. However, we have not seen those reports verified and, given the extreme situation on the ground, they may not be verified.
Palestinians reflect on the past 30 years since the first Oslo Accords were signed and all the ways in which the agreement impacted their lives, pushing them even further away from achieving liberation and statehood.
The bar for hospitals to lose protected status under international law is set very high. Those conditions were not met for any of the 36 hospitals in Gaza that Israel destroyed.
The New York Times is not an unbiased fount of information, but a sophisticated ideological weapon. Our goal is to unmask the Times and expose the paper for what it is: a tool of empire encased in a liberal veneer.
During the massacre at al-Shifa Hospital, the Israeli army shot patients in their beds and doctors who refused to abandon the sick, separated people into groups with differently-colored bracelets, and executed hundreds of civil government employees.
‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 163: Top EU official says Israel failed to prove its accusations against UNRWA
Netanyahu has vowed to invade Rafah despite the international red line. Meanwhile, the U.S. has sanctioned two illegal settler outposts in the West Bank for the first time.
@TurdFerguson@palestine@israel That is sort of the point of international law around war, isn't it? Setting global standards for what is and is not appropriate...
Joe Biden’s Executive Order targeting those “undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank” is too narrow to address Israeli settler violence, yet so broadly written it will likely be used disproportionately against Palestinians.
@LALegault@mondoweiss So people interested in the topic can find our coverage. We copy the Palestine group as well. If it is bad form, we’re happy to remove it.
The context for October 7 is apartheid, not the Holocaust
The Israel lobby is attempting to indoctrinate Americans that the context for the October 7 attack is the Holocaust. This is a misrepresentation. The Palestinians had nothing to do with the Holocaust.
This has been covered pretty extensively by numerous sources. He was a marginal figure without much support among Palestinians. No one today even talks about him much, except for Zionists trying to paint all Palestinians as Nazi fascists bent of killing Jews.
Claiming he was a role model to Arafat AND a spiritual inspiration of Hamas is just silliness, honestly. Fatah and Hamas come from totally different backgrounds. This belies a deep lack of knowledge.
