“What is happening in Palestine is not bearable,” many people comment; so they choose to look away. Especially it is not bearable for those who spend the night hungry and terrified by the sound of bombs in the background.
In the morning, the rubble of destroyed homes is dug up and the bodies of families are found hugging each other.
The sick and burned end up in hospitals, from which they are then evicted by the invading army.
The numbers are not bearable either. We were speechless. It’s not war, it’s GENOCIDE. The overall death toll in the Palestinian enclave as a result of the Israeli genocide amounted to 34,596 dead and 77,816 wounded, in addition to all destroyed infrastructure. As the days go by, these numbers will continue to grow at an ever-increasing rate.
United Nations demining experts said late last month that clearing the rubble and leaving the Gaza Strip safe from unexploded ordnance could consume the equivalent of 14 years of work with 100 trucks.
The Zionist army continues insatiably sowing terror and destruction, now in Rafah. Corpses begin to appear as if in central Gaza. Once again, the Dantesque scenario of fragmented bodies, children hanging from a window entangled among the remains of a house.
The Zionist invasion of Rafah took place immediately after Hamas informed Egyptian and Qatari mediators that it accepted the ceasefire proposal.
UNRWA’s Sam Rose explains on Al Jazeera what it means that the Israeli occupation army has taken control of the Rafah border crossing, Gaza’s only gateway to the outside world.
The Israeli government unanimously authorizes the closure of ‘Al Jazeera’ in Israel. It’s about silencing what can’t be silenced. Organ trafficking and anything horrible you can imagine REALLY happens in Gaza.
Humanitarian aid convoys bound for Gaza are attacked by mobs of Israeli settlers, who also attack the convoy’s drivers.
Meanwhile, young and non-young people rise up around the world in non-violent protests
German police brutally attack the pro-Palestine demonstration at the Free University of Berlin.
Australian MP Gabrielle de Vietri has been suspended from the Victorian Parliament for refusing to remove her Palestinian keffiyeh.
A young Palestinian Harvard graduate from Gaza is leading pro-Palestine demonstrations on campus, having lost more than 120 family members since October to Israeli occupation attacks in Gaza.
At Harvard University after hundreds of students were threatened with immediate suspension for peacefully protesting Gaza, students led a march to the home of interim President Alan Garber with a call for divestment from the Israeli genocide.
French police repress and attack pro-Palestine demonstrations at Sciences Po Paris.
According to London Student Action for Palestine, students from 14 universities in the UK have set up Gaza solidarity camps.
In the U.S. there are about 200 universities in rebellion against the government’s policy of supporting GENOCIDE. We have seen students and teachers brutally beaten by the police and more than 2,000 arrested.
The tide of protests is spreading around the world, giving us back a bit of the record of humanity that we have lost along the way, from Arab countries to Japan, Australia, Canada, southern Europe…
On Monday, Washington said it was suspending arms shipments to Israel. Evidently this is a simple image washing in the pre-election campaign. But the fact is that Israel has already obtained weapons from its American accomplice in the last year worth around $35 billion. With this potential it can bomb Lebanon and Syria, etc., while annihilating life in Rafah.
The U.S. government has the dirty hands of Palestinian blood by vetoing ceasefire resolutions in Gaza. Russia has said this loud and clear, through President Vladimir Putin, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Vasily Nebenzia, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations.
Russia’s attitude could not be clearer on the question of Palestine, which goes beyond how big a country is and the intricate economic and historical interests it may have with the Jewish people. This is a moral issue, above all other circumstances.
So much for this incomplete account of yesterday’s day, Tuesday. Many of us follow him every day, because we have decided not to look away. We do it together with other “free informant” friends with whom we embrace. It is not a minor issue – existentially – to have friends to hug with the strength of sharing the same landscape at a certain time.
