"let them return to Yāfā and Ḥayfā", would say an decent person. unless you're racist and a Zionist (pictured: Palestinians escaping by sea to Gaza city during the ethnic cleansing of Jaffa, April 1948) palestineremembered.com/Jaff…
How much longer will our families be forced to live in tents on the streets of Gaza, surrounded by the rubble of their homes? When will more people speak out? When will officials and governments finally find the humanity to act and put an end to this suffering?

before the gas chambers, when they confined and starved Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto - were they Nazis then?
"What made Nazis Nazis was gas chambers." - Ezra Klein Liberal Zionists desperately want to distance themselves from the *definitionally* ethnosupremacist ideology that Israel requires to exist in its current state. Ezra wants it so badly that he's willing to flout the learnings of the Holocaust, ignore the dehumanization and propaganda that precipitated it, and deny how its vestiges persist today—boiling it all down to "gas chambers." All this because recognizing those similarities would forfeit the moral superiority liberal Zionists claim to have over the Ben-Gvirs of the world. I can't tell if I'm witnessing a genuine emotional block— one that prevents him from recognizing that Israel's violence and apartheid is fundamental to its existence—or if this represents something more sinister from Ezra. Not sure if I'm wiling to give him the benefit of the doubt three years into this horrific genocide.

Israel bombed the surgery floor of Nasser Hospital after midnight on Thursday. Six people were killed, including the surgeon on duty. I read the army’s statements in Hebrew and went through the evidence. Here is what holds up and what doesn’t. 1) The army’s first Hebrew statement uses the words for terrorist or terror seven times in two sentences. It names nobody. The English says the men were “operating” in the hospital. The Hebrew says they were hiding. 2) Three hours later the army named Muhammad Abu Ismail, the Khan Younis Brigade commander. Ynet had named a different man, Khaled Abu Anza. The army still has not said its target is dead. 3) Israel killed the previous Khan Younis commander in September, and the one before him in July 2024. It killed the Rafah Brigade commander in mid-September. Hamas refilled every post. 4) The army’s “warning” is a 37-second recording. It names five hospitals. It has no date, no deadline, and no instruction to move patients. Article 19 of the Fourth Geneva Convention requires a warning with a reasonable time limit. 5) Army Radio’s own military correspondent described the site as a Hamas interrogation facility for suspected collaborators. That is not a cell about to attack Israeli troops. 6) The dead include Dr. Rizq Abu Sha’ira, a general surgeon, and a 13-year-old. The Health Ministry counts more than 52 wounded. The hospital says the building is out of service. Israel could have waited for this man to leave the building. Instead, it went after a hospital in the middle of the night shift, with civilians and staff there. During a ceasefire. Full 13-minute breakdown with every source on screen:

remember when @EylonALevy was telling you the hostages were being raped and tortured round the clock apparently the victims are able to joke about it all now
There is no humor like Israeli dark humor. It’s literally a survival strategy.

Here is a photo of the GBU-39/B bomb used by Israel to strike Nasser Hospital, killing 6 people and injuring 25 others. Manufactured by Boeing in the USA, this 250-pound (113 kg) bomb was paid for with American taxpayers’ money. Shame on everyone who fails to act daily to stop these atrocities and war crimes and demand accountability from Israel and all those complicit in these war crimes.

Israel went from “we would never bomb a hospital, how antisemitic if you to even suggest that” to openly and brazenly bombing hospitals during a so-called “ceasefire.”
Israel has just bombed Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing at least five people, including surgeon Dr. Rezeq Abu Sha’ira. Yes, the same hospital. The same Israel that carried out a double-tap airstrike there on August 25, 2025, killing journalists, rescue workers, and emergency personnel responding to the first strike. As the video shows, the missile used in the attack punched through at least two concrete floors. Same hospital. Same fucking Israel. Same fucking world watching it happen again. Nothing new to report here.

Israeli Paratroopers cuffed a Palestinian man at the Gilboa crossing near Jenin and proceeded to defecate and smear it on him and try to make him eat it. They also urinated on him and put out cigarettes on him. All this, according to Israeli media and the military police. I truly do not know what to say anymore.

They killed a 14 year old kid for "intending to throw a stone".
הלילה, במהלך פעילות מבצעית יזומה של כוחות צה"ל לסיכול זריקות אבנים ואירועי טרור בפאתי הכפר בורקא שבחטיבת שומרון, זיהו הכוחות מספר מחבלים שהתכוונו לזרוק אבנים לעבר כביש מהיר בו נוסעים רכבים ישראלים. זאת, במרחב בו יידו אבנים לעבר רכבים ישראלים בעת האחרונה. הכוחות הגיבו בירי לעברם להסרת סכנה, זוהו פגיעות

Yesterday was a tale of two tragedies: 1) A mother in Leeds was traumatized after seeing a Palestinian badge. 2) 3 Palestinian children literally buried alive by Apartheid Israel forces. Don't let the murdered children cloud your sympathy for the traumatized British woman. Sincerely, -Zionism

“Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part…”
I put a map of the "Yellow Line" on a topographic map of Gaza. It shows that Israel is pushing Palestinians into the lowest-lying parts of Gaza, ensuring that as many people as possible are flooded by cold water and sewage. Let's be clear: This policy is intended to kill.

Contrary to popular belief the SS does not control the spread of infectious diseases in the camps.
Contrary to popular belief, Israel does not control the weather.

current conditions inside the Gaza concentration camp zionism is utterly inhumane
The water is almost certainly full of sewage as well. This is torture on a mass scale.

Ten minutes of rain were enough to reveal the suffering of an oppressed and wronged people.

Ah, the root of problem. They insist their safety depends on the subjugation & torture of millions, when in reality it is that very subjugation & torture that creates the so-called “threats” they complain about. Solution is simple: stop oppressing people and they won’t have a reason to resist.

Anyone who has camped in serious rain knows how miserable it can be, especially when your attempts to keep the rain out fail. All you want is to feel dry again. When it’s cold it’s exponentially worse. When you’re with your kids, you feel awful for them as they shiver. Now imagine the tent is your forced home, the water keeps rising, and there’s nowhere to go to get dry or warm.
I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes. Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure. I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold. We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep. I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety. What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings? I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

when you let people speak instead of censoring
This is so strong and clear. You can't help but notice that if this was in the UK context - you wouldn't be able to get a single one of these sentences out without a journalist barracking the person saying it constantly. The UK media is in quite a state.
