Ha’aretz: At 2 A.M, 140 soldiers & settlers, in uniform or in Shabbat attire, raided a small village in the Hebron hills. The soldiers-settlers woke up the occupants of the houses they entered, herded them into one corner, and proceeded to destroy the house. The responsibility for these crimes lies with the media that ignores these actions, the politicians who stay silent, the judges who roll their eyes, and the entire Israeli public.
Innocent Palestinians are regularly forced by soldiers to enter houses in Gaza to make sure there are no terrorists or explosives. So why is the IDF’s Military Police Criminal Investigation Division opening only six investigations into the use of human shields?
Confirmation hearings began this week for President Trump’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee. “Huckabee uses his Christianity to justify ethnic cleansing,” said one protester at Huckabee’s hearing.
Powerful new testimony at a UN Commission of Inquiry on Palestinian women facing “systematic sexual violence and intimidation by Israeli forces” that has been ignored by all our major ‘mainstream’ media outlets.
The protests in Gaza calling for Hamas to step down are fueled by a desire for certainty — that if Hamas simply surrenders, Israel’s genocide will stop. “If the missiles don’t kill us, famine will. We want to change this reality.” The tragedy is that these cries will go unheard, or worse, will further fuel the war machine.
American doctors who volunteered in Gaza report witnessing a disturbing pattern of children being shot by Israeli snipers.
Israel’s decision to halt all humanitarian aid to Gaza as a means of pressuring Hamas to release the remaining hostages without any commitment from Israel to end the war — an action that amounts to the war crime of collective punishment — was widely condemned by international actors.
A pro-Israel group with a history of support for terror & genocide is working closely with the Trump administration, preparing dossiers on thousands of pro-Palestine figures it wants deported from the United States.
Palestinian refugee camps are known for producing resistance fighters and footballers. But Israel’s ongoing onslaught in Gaza and the West Bank is erasing every aspect of Palestinian life, including sports.
Many Palestinians fled their tents amid airstrikes & icy storms, but where will they go? Where is safety? I saw children selling the simplest of sweets, their faces marked by exhaustion, just to buy a little flour. I asked them, “Aren’t you scared?” They answered: “If we don’t die from the bombing, we’ll die from this cold & hunger.”
