Israel’s war on Gaza live: Deadly fighting rages in north’s evacuation zone
Bloody combat continues in northern Jabalia where tens of thousands of civilians have fled ‘extermination zones’.Mersiha Gadzo (Al Jazeera)
![Writing prior to October 2023, George Bisharat notes that Israel has engaged in a systematic effort to reshape international law to allow a greater degree of infliction of violence on Palestinians. This has included the reframing of previous rounds of violence from "law and order" under an occupation to "armed conflict short of war," rewriting the "principle of distinction" between civilians and combatants,
"voluntary human shields," and deliberate disproportionality. Thus, he writes, Israel's actions "threaten to turn international
humanitarian law on its head, allowing law to extend the scope of violence and suffering to previously protected areas and persons."61

Dear Secretary Haaland,
I joined the Biden Administration because I believe in fighting for a better America, for a future where Americans can thrive: one with economic prosperity, a healthy planet, and equal rights for all people. I have dedicated my career to candidates who I believed would further this vision.

"Israel's Use of Palestinian Children as Human Shields"
Three boys say the IDF used them to shield soldiers from potential harm during an IDF raid on a refugee camp.
"They forced Karam to walk in front of them, open the doors to each room, & enter it before them. While they were walking, one soldier placed his rifle on Karam's right shoulder & fired two shots toward an apartment".

University Professors Are Losing Their Jobs Over “New McCarthyism” on Gaza
As brutal police repression sweeps campus encampments, schools have been cutting ties with pro-Palestine faculty members without tenure.Natasha Lennard (The Intercept)
These are my greatgrandparents, and the female survivors of Nakba. They survived only because they were in Lebanon for a cousin's wedding.
At one point, my family was one of the oldest, largest, and wealthiest families in the Levant. We built soap factories that were Unesco heritage sites until the IDF leveled them. We built universities and houses of worship. We had trade routes stretching from China to Persia. When Britain brought Nazi survivors to Palestine, my family built them homes, a temple and a school.
They were repaid by the Irgun waiting until the patriarch was away, then they lined up every male between newborn and death, and shot them. The women were forced to leave with nothing but what they could carry. All of their assets were seized.
We will never forget. After this latest massacre, we will never forgive. #Gaza #Palestine #Nakba

"This is not the life of any normal human being. There is nothing: no water, no food, no health care, not even a toilet. My children ask me if they could just have potatoes but we have no money now. All we have is canned food distributed [by the United Nations],” she said.
“My children have already had flu, and fevers, and hepatitis. They are weak now, and there aren’t enough antibiotics, so I’m very worried.”

- Context! You must go back… all the way to October 7.
- Sure, let’s go back: let’s go back 76 years to May 15, 1948, to the #Nakba; the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people where 750,000 people were “expelled from their homes or made to flee, at first by Zionist paramilitaries through various violent means, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by the Israel Defense Forces.” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba)

Palestinian hauliers said on Tuesday they feared for the security of aid convoys to Gaza, a day after Israeli protesters wrecked trucks carrying humanitarian supplies bound for the enclave, which is facing a severe hunger crisis.
Footage shows at least one burning truck while other images showed trucks wrecked and stripped of their loads, which lay strewn over the road near Tarqumiya checkpoint outside Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.

Israeli children, likely belonging to communities of settlers and religious-messianic Jews, having fun destroying aid supplies meant for Gaza.
Useful context is that one of the most common one-liners I hear from Israelis, to this day, is: "the conflict will end when they stop teaching their children to hate us".

There is a weird talking point about #Gaza that people shouldn't speak out against killing people without understanding the nuances of the history.
When #Hamas attacked in October, no one said that you couldn't condemn those killings unless you had a deep understanding of history.
Knowing history is good but you don't actually have to know everything to understand that indiscriminate killings are a bad thing.
Analysis
"Israel’s Willing Executioners"
"Hundreds of thousands of people are being forced to flee, once again, after more than half of Gaza's population took sanctuary in the border town of Rafah. This is part of Israel's sadistic playbook.
"Run, the Israelis demand, run for your lives. Run from Rafah the way you ran from Gaza City..from Jabalia..from Deir al-Balah..from Beit Hanoun..Bani Suheila..Khan Yunis. Run or we will kill you."
"Run for your lives. Again and again and again. Pack up the pathetic few belongings you have left. Blankets. A couple of pots. Some clothes. We don’t care how exhausted you are, how hungry you are, how terrified you are, how sick you are, how old, or how young you are. Run. Run. Run. And when you run in terror to one part of Gaza we will make you turn around and run to another. Trapped in a labyrinth of death. Back and forth."
