“From a purely legal point of view, a myriad of academic and legal experts have long since confirmed the charge of #genocide. As far back as October, Holocaust and genocide scholar Raz Segal has called #Israel’s actions in #Gaza ‘a textbook case of genocide’ ….

Omer Bartov, a respected historian of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, accused Israel of ‘systematic #warcrimes, #crimes against humanity and genocidal actions.’”

“Israeli forces have killed Palestinian journalist Hassan Hamad in an air strike on his home in northern #Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp, days after the slain journalist said he was warned by an Israeli officer to stop filming in Gaza.

With the killing of the 19-year-old journalist, whose work appeared on Al Jazeera and other networks, the number of Palestinian journalists killed since the war began has risen to 175, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.”

“This might be the first crisis where I have to begin by advocating that children are humans.”

Gaza is not a place for children right now because “they’re forced to live in conditions that deny them life-saving medicine, water, even their dignity. And at the same time, bombs continue to fall”.

“Sometimes I fail to capture just how horrific the situation is that’s been imposed on children.”

James Elder, #UNICEF spokesperson in Gaza

Harvard students were punished by the university president for expressing unpopular opinions.

They STUDIED for an hour in a LIBRARY, with political messages taped to their laptops.

What if it had been only one student? What if the pro-Palestine message had been half as big? What if it had been half an hour?

There is no narrative worth the pixels it takes on a screen that makes this anything but direct, pure suppression of dissent. The students followed every rule, didn't do any of the things bullshit campus rules penalize in order to stop protests. They didn't block sidewalks, light candles, chant, march, or even (apparently) make anyone the least bit uncomfortable.

So the Harvard admin just flat-out punished them for expressing a political opinion.

Listen to Gideon Levy: Israel has not yet killed 90% of the indigenous population of #gaza like white settlers have in North America. But Israel has destroyed their society—its social fabric and humanity. People of #gaza will never be the same.

Levy is despondent that the overwhelming majority of his fellow country men support staving Gazan to death. #Biden administration and the corporate media are equally culpable of crime against humanity.

The Looming Catastrophe in the Middle East (w/ Gideon Levy) | The Chris Hedges Report

It has become quite rare to hear any meaningful accountability for Israel’s actions from Israeli citizens themselves.

Deputy Commander of the Revolutionary Guards Ali Fadavi:

"If Israel makes a mistake and attacks Iran - its energy and gas facilities will be damaged. Iran is a big country, but Israel only has three power plants and a few energy facilities and we can hit them all at once"
