This man is so wonderful! Amazing moral clarity
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points. (clip via @DropSiteNews)

If journalists like Courtney weren’t reporting from Lebanon we wouldn’t know that Israel is still killing people and demolishing homes. Because legacy media doesn’t care.
Report from Qantara, where Israeli forces are continuing demolitions of civilian homes and infrastructure. On Wednesday a man documenting the destruction was murdered by an Israeli drone strike.

Supongo que los olivos que ha donado Israel son los que ha robado a los palestinos en Cisjordania. Desde 1967, los israelíes han arrancado unos 800.000 olivos en los territorios ocupados.

Palestinians have a legal right under the Geneva Convention to resist illegal occupation. But imperial Israel and the US gov refuse to recognize the Geneva Convention as applying to the Palestinians. This sets them up to have no rights while Israel has no limits. Raw evil.
⚡️ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to demolish an entire Hebron neighborhood, expel its residents and build "more and more settlements" after two Israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting near the illegally occupied West Bank city on Friday. Two Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a junction outside Hebron, killing a staff sergeant and a sergeant, before Israeli forces killed them. Palestinian media identified them as Hamouda Jaaba and Firas Jaaba, both 27, from Hebron. Netanyahu blamed Hamas but offered no evidence beyond ammunition the army said it found in their car. "Our first step will be to demolish this site and completely transform it," Netanyahu said, adding Israel is "building and arranging over 100 new settlements." Israeli forces sealed off Hebron, the largest city in the West Bank, and arrested dozens as Netanyahu ordered preparations for a full closure of the entire West Bank – applying to Palestinians only, with Israeli roads staying open to settlers. The news comes just five days before Israel's elections, with Netanyahu trailing in the polls.

In retaliation for the attack in Hebron, the IDF done the following: 1) Ethnically cleansed the neighborhoods of al-Jalda and Ein Dir Baha in western Hebron. Well over 20,000 people in total were told to leave their homes with no date of return. Demolitions in the area have already begun. They have nowehere to go and will have nowehere to return to. 2) They cordoned off Hebron, a city of more than 200,000. He also announced a siege on Hebron and Halhul. It is worth noting that the Hebron governorate was already in dire economic straits, with five of seven entrances closed to a region where over 1 million Palestinians live. 3) Launched a military operation which will last a few days. Netanyahu has warned that a military operation, "the largest in teh West Bank since teh Six Day War" is being consdiered as well. This is, of course, collective punishment which is a war crime. They are attacking the entire clan from which the attackers came from. All this without trial and without right of appeal. Once settlers moved into Hebron in the 1980s it was always going to end like this. The complete ethnic cleansing of this historic city is just a matter of time.

Alonso, why do you continue playing dumb? Targeting children, would mean the child was THE target, simply because of who the child was. Children dying in a warzone is just a fact of life, children dying in a strike that targets a terrorist, isn't targeting children, and you know it. And nobody is "terrified" about the Myanmar case. What we aren't staying silent about is the fact that the case doesn't require a single change in the law to find them guilty and the only reason to change it would be for political agendas, not justice or law.

Benjamin Netanyahu, declared today that he is planning to carry out the ethnic cleansing of entire neighborhoods in Hebron. His declaration represents an alarming escalation in Israel’s policies of forced displacement and a flagrant violation of international law and the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people. It must be unequivocally condemned, and the international community must act immediately to prevent the forcible displacement of Palestinian residents and hold those responsible accountable.

ffs… he *is* applying the only reasonable inference test… this is what Britain, France, Denmark, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands said on targeting children and ORI intent. This is why they are terrified of the Myanmar case. They already said this… can’t take it back
"we could not come to any other conclusion" Well, it's pretty hard to come to any other "conclusion" when, from the very start, you don't even pretend to consider whether any other conclusion could follow from the evidence. So what if the "only reasonable inference" standard requires you to examine and rule out other reasonable explanations for the observed outcomes or pattern of conduct before claiming that genocide is the only reasonable inference? When your "conclusion" is predetermined, those pesky little legal standards are just an inconvenience to be tossed aside.

In the Myanmar genocide case currently before the ICJ, Britain, France, Denmark, Germany, Canada and the Netherlands said that targeting children was indicative of genocidal intent. None of them have commented on Israel’s targeting of children, on which the UN commission reported. But the issue will come back to bite them.

The "five Israelis" were on-duty IDF soldiers, by the way. Seems like an important detail to include.

Netanyahu avisa que el apoyo irrestricto de EEUU a su regime de Apartheid ha concluido y que el país tiene que prepararse para afrontar un boicot como el que sufrió la Sudáfrica del Apartheid.

Radwan Mortada's film exposing the key players, middlemen and civilian victims of Israel's notorious pager attack is so popular it apparently prompted Tel Aviv to churn out a propaganda film in response – just as it's done with NAZA Watch @wyattreed13's haunting interview with @radwanmortada: youtu.be/4JlLDBiYmRM?si=X0p-…

Más y más testimonios de soldados israelíes que confirman la barbaridad que han cometido en Gaza. Hasta algunos de los medios occidentales que minimizaron el genocidio comienzan a aceptar lo ocurrido.
Der Spiegel ha pubblicato le testimonianze di dieci soldati che hanno prestato servizio a Gaza. Dieci racconti, tutti, a modo loro, raccapriccianti del #GENOCIDIO in corso. Eccone alcuni estratti. «Sparate a chiunque vediate» La regola era: «Sparate a chiunque vediate». L’IDF classificava come «terroristi» tutti i maschi in «età militare»: una definizione che comprendeva chiunque avesse tra i 16 e i 60 anni. Ho pensato immediatamente a Srebrenica. «Negli 80 giorni in cui siamo stati lì, a Netzarim, nella Striscia di Gaza, la mia brigata ha ucciso tra le 160 e le 170 persone. Solo un uomo era sospettato di possedere un’arma. Quell’arma, però, non l’ha vista nessuno». NAZA-300: fino a 300 civili uccisi per colpire un militante Questa intervista conferma quanto affermato da NAZA: «Quando si trattava di ufficiali di alto rango, per un singolo attacco erano ammesse diverse centinaia di vittime civili. Ricordo il caso di Ibrahim Biari, il comandante di Hamas a Jabalia. […] Poche ore prima dell’attacco del 31 ottobre 2023, il nostro comandante ci ha radunati e ci ha detto che il capo di stato maggiore aveva deciso di colpire quel luogo, pur prevedendo possibili “danni collaterali” pari a 300 civili. L’attacco è stato sferrato». Le regole d’ingaggio «Qualcuno ha segnalato la presenza di un osservatore di Hamas sul tetto di un edificio. È stato inviato un drone e il pilota ha riferito: “Questa persona sta stendendo il bucato”. Un ufficiale ha replicato: “Gli uomini palestinesi non stendono il bucato. Deve essere un osservatore”. Il pilota del drone ha insistito: “No, è in piedi, di spalle rispetto a noi, e sta stendendo il bucato”. A quel punto, un ufficiale dell’unità di carri armati che faceva parte della nostra forza da combattimento ha detto: “Ho una linea di tiro libera. Posso sparare?”. Il comandante ha chiesto: “Riesci a vedere l’osservatore?”. Poi ha dato l’ordine di sparare. Circa venti minuti dopo, le ambulanze sono arrivate all’edificio e hanno cominciato a evacuare feriti e morti. Poco dopo, su un sito di notizie israeliano, ho letto un articolo: “I palestinesi sostengono che siano stati uccisi dodici membri di una famiglia”. È sempre questa la formula: “sostengono”. E io ho pensato: “Siamo stati noi”». Scudi umani «Mentre ero in servizio a Rafah, ho assistito all’uso di scudi umani da parte dell’IDF La pratica è nota come “zanzare”. Ne ho visti due o tre: giovani palestinesi con addosso soltanto scarpe e biancheria intima, bendati e con le mani legate. Venivano mandati avanti nei tunnel e nelle case. Durante queste missioni erano costretti a indossare uniformi militari israeliane e telecamere GoPro». Spesso venivano uccisi. «Incriminazione retroattiva» «Ogni volta che ci sono morti o feriti, la prima reazione dell’IDF è cercare di collegarli ad Hamas. Perché dire che le persone uccise erano terroristi di Hamas fa una migliore impressione agli occhi del mondo. Questo processo lo chiamiamo “incriminazione retroattiva”. Nel caso dell’attacco ai giornalisti all’ospedale [Nasser], la prima dichiarazione [dell’IDF] affermava che erano stati uccisi 6 terroristi di Hamas. I soldati la chiamavano una “telecamera di Hamas”. L’obiettivo dell’IDF era neutralizzare telecamere che documentavano la realtà. Ma il cameraman lavorava per la Reuters. Non era un terrorista. L’IDF ha ucciso un giornalista che svolgeva il proprio lavoro». La distruzione degli edifici «C’è un edificio che è il più alto del nostro settore? Lo distruggiamo, perché potrebbe rappresentare una minaccia. Ma a quel punto un altro edificio diventa il più alto. E così via, finché non resta più nulla. All’inizio ci veniva detto di distruggere singoli edifici. In seguito ci è stato assegnato un intero quartiere». «Quando usavamo abitazioni civili come basi militari, spesso ci veniva ordinato di incendiarle dopo il nostro ritiro, per impedire ai palestinesi di tornarci. Il fuoco le rendeva inabitabili. Lo scopo era impedire per sempre il ritorno dei residenti».
