Interview

with Palestinian analyst Nour Odeh:

Some countries are starting to see that letting Israel get away with murder for decades "has been wrong all along; that, without accountability, these horrors will be normalized internationally.

"So it's not just Palestinians... who will be suffering this unhinged brutalization."

Once it "is normalized, you can expect it to pop up in any other conflict in the world".

"How Israeli prison doctors assist in the torture of Palestinian detainees"

Israeli doctors:

  • share prisoners’ medical information with interrogators to “greenlight” torture;

  • teach interrogators how to inflict pain without leaving physical marks;

  • actively engage in acts of torture themselves.

Torture is a "colonial tool to subjugate & exercise control over Palestinians & is intertwined with its very inception as a state."

"The second is to stop the war in Gaza.

"Peace in the Galilee will be achieved only that way."

"I'm not aware of any civilian casualties", said the IDF spokesman...

despite 14 children being among the 40 killed in the IDF strike on Nuseirat school.

6,000 displaced people were sheltering at the UNRWA school.

UNRWA said it is "unable to verify" Israeli claims about "militants".

US-made weapons parts were identified at the location.
