Edited

Yes that's an edited version of the same footage.

More on the maritime aid corridor trial run

A Spanish-flagged vessel the Open Arms* is being loaded right now in Larnaca with pallets of food aid from the US charity World Kitchen - the plan seems to be for it to tow a barge containing the aid to the coast of northern Gaza then somehow which isn't clear the aid gets transferred to land and then to the people needing it

Maybe COGAT or UNWRA will help get the aid ashore?

MSF has pointed out that these plans are creating their own logistical problems and that getting aid into Gaza is a political problem not a logistical one. See also the port.

*this vessel was originally described as belonging to Spain - thought it was a bit of an unusual name for a Spanish ship - it would be interesting to know who are the actual owners. Is this another US venture dressed up to be an 'EU initiative'??

Open Arms is a Humanitarian, Non-Governmental, Non-Profit organisation. Our primary mission is to protect the life of the most vulnerable in emergency situations. We originate from a sea rescue company with more than 20 years experience on the Spanish coasts.

They’re are quite famous in Spain. they tend to be in the Mediterranean helping Africans that are trying to cross the border from Africa to Europe.

I found the footage on a site by googling the report quote words of #1
It was very evidently body cam footage. I could not understand the writing though.

AliceA2021 · 09/03/2024 10:21

Apparently the footage is from the GoPro camera of a dead soldier.

An interesting read on how Israel officials regard the situation. It begs the question why don't they just let independent journalists in to verify what they say and we can all breath a sigh of relief .
“There is no hunger in Gaza,”
"THE SITUATION in Gaza is akin to hunger in New York, where homeless people suffer not from a lack of food but from a lack of money to purchase it,” he explained. ""

I am sure some of it is being stolen and sold but that is not the crux of the problem.

Also they would rather it was framed as a West v's Iran war and that the US and the UK should be doing more to eliminate Iranian proxies. Just as I fear, they want to drag us all into a huge war.

Zvika Klein's Editor's Notes: 'There is no famine' in Gaza - The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com)

Editor's Notes: 'There is no famine in Gaza' - comment

The United Nations said in February that more than a quarter of Gaza’s 2.3 million people were “estimated to be facing catastrophic levels of deprivation and starvation.”

IDF murdering an old man in his pyjamas who had his arms raised. Fucking heroes. Apparently this is from November. The link is just footage of the Israeli soldiers talking about the incident and congratulating themselves. Apparently the footage of the actual incident is on twitter but I haven't seen it or looked for it.

A bit more on the US port - 2 months to build!

US president Joe Biden’s plan to build a floating military port to speed up aid to Gaza could take up to 60 days to become a reality and involve more than 1,000 US troops, the Pentagon said on Friday.

You are insisting a distinction must be made between Israeli victims and Palestinian victims though.

A distinction must be made. Hamas deliberately murdered and raped. That is not the same as poor innocents being the victims of collateral damage.

Do you think Israel is accidently slowly starving the children of Gaza to death even though they announced months ago that they would be doing it and now inevitably people are dying from starvation as they do when you deny them food for months? Can you clarify what the distinction you think must be made is exactly?

And bombing Gaza constantly knowing people are there with no where to go?
30,000 deaths 75 % of whom are children and women. 70,000 wounded/maimed/burned. Thousands more under the rubble. Settlers harrassing and killing Palestinians in the West Bank.

And deliberately sniping women and children often enough to make it look like the IDF think it’s a fun sport.

Efacsen · 08/03/2024 23:05

Oh no - there hadn't been any deaths reported for over 24 hours then this

Three more children die of hunger at al-Shifa Hospital

Three more children died of malnutrition and dehydration at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital, according to the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave.

It brings the official death toll from malnutrition and dehydration in Gaza hospitals to 23.

It is not. The term collateral damage should never be used as an excuse or a justification for wrongful acts that cause death and mass suffering. Any loss of life in this conflict is equally tragic for family and friends of those killed, no matter how.

'Collateral damage' is the very epitome of de-humanising language borrowed from the military to clinically and without feeling describe loss of human life

There is no alternative meaning to the expression

Rachel757677 · 08/03/2024 22:29

Efacsen · 08/03/2024 21:33

It's essentially a de-humanising way to describe the killing and maiming of over 100k Palestinian people

No I am not Easter. There have been instances of dreadful brutality committed by IDF soldiers not just recently, but going back years. Sickening behaviour that should be condemed in the strongest possible way.

However, what happened on October 7th was very different. We are not talking about the odd Hamas foot-soldier gone rogue are we. Their whole objective and mission was to cause terror through the deliberate action of mass rape, murder, and kidnap of innocent civilians.

Can I ask what you think the objective of deliberately starving 2million people whilst denying them healthcare is? Do you not think that that must cause terror, to see your children slowly fading away before your eyes and not be able to do anything. To send your son out to try and get any aid they can not knowing if they will come back alive or if they will be shot by the Israeli army whilst queuing for food. To have to give birth by c section with no anaesthesia, knowing that you might have to watch your baby starve to death because you are too weak with malnutrition to produce breastmilk.

Bearing in mind the Israeli minister for defence said back in October I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed which leaves no doubt at all that the starvation and closing of healthcare is a very deliberate, planned act on behalf of Israel.

What Hamas did was deliberate and beyond awful but I'm not sure I see the distinction you do between the awful acts that Hamas commited and the awful acts Israel are committing. I would be interested in what you think Israels objective was when they announced they were going to starve people and then followed through and what makes Palestinians 'collateral damage' rather than the innocent victims of a brutal plan like you view Israelis?

The people I have loved and lost are not fucking collateral damage.

At least not to me.
