Just watching Aljazeera, doctors have discovered a mass grave in the courtyard of Al Shifa hospital.

Given that the Al Shifa doctors were the ones that buried the bodies there, I don't think they were "discovered".

Please stop posting deliberately misleading inflammatory comments.

A little bit of hope

Humanitarian aid getting into the Gaza Strip has increased significantly in the last few days, White House national security spokesman John Kirby has said.
He told MSNBC:
''The aid has increased and quite dramatically in just the last few days.

That’s important but it has to be sustained.''

Potential war-crime according to UN

UN report: Israel has destroyed over 3,000 buildings in 1km 'buffer zone' it is creating inside Gaza border

A UN report has said that Israel has destroyed over 3,000 buildings within a 1km “buffer zone” that it is creating inside the Gaza Strip along the territory’s border with Israel.

The report says:
''Statistical analysis shows the rapid increase in damaged and destroyed buildings within the zone, from 15% to 90% between October 2023 and February 2024. Satellite-derived analysis undertaken on 29 February 2024 on 4042 buildings within the zone, shows 3033 destroyed, 593 damaged (severe or moderately) and 416 with no visible damage''.

Today we learned that an Israeli military court has placed Palestinian Christian young woman Layan Nasir, who was arrested last week, in administrative detention for four months (renewable). No charges have been presented. Layan is just one of thousands of Palestinians who are in detention with no charges

UN meeting scheduled for 4pm New York time today (I think 9pm UK time?)

And yes the hypocrisy of calling for a UNSC meeting, after repeatedly denigrating it.

Colonel Lawrence Wilkinson, he is a firebrand and rightly angry. He worked for Colin Powell when some of those "lies" led to American intervention in Iraq.

There are atleast TEN Palestinian villages in the occupied west bank that are currently being terrorised after one 14 year old Israeli child was killed.
Those who were involved should definitely be apprehended and charged but how is this violence and terrorism against so many innocent Palestinians not being stopped? Where is the outrage?

The ten villages as below:

  1. Al-Mughayyir: Settlers opened fire, torched cars and wounded Palestinians.
  1. Duma: Settlers opened fire, torched cars and wounded Palestinians.

3.As-Sawiya: Settlers hurl stones, damaging five homes and several vehicles.

4.Qusra: Settlers torch six homes and four vehicles in addition to other vandalism in the village.

5.Beitin: Settlers torch a car.

  1. Silwad: Settlers block the village’s main road, throwing stones at vehicles, which damage several of them

7.Sinjil: Settlers hurl stones at homes, damaging five of them.

8.Beitillu: Settlers hurl stones at homes, damaging several of them

9.Turmusaya: Settlers vandalize three vehicles and two homes

  1. Beit Furik: Settlers damage several houses and injure one Palestinian.
Edited

It's insane. If Palestinians invaded and set fire to villages in Israel every time an Israeli killed a Palestinian child this would be happening weekly in Israel(and this is before Oct 7). We all know what it would be called if Palestinians did that and we would all be expected to condemn it. Where is the condemnation for this?

That's one of the worst twitter accounts I've ever seen, which is saying something.

@Scirocco not to forget the damage to homes, livelihood and long lasting trauma.
The settler violence is a direct reflection of Netanyahus policies in the occupied west bank. They are emboldened to act is such a violent manner towards Palestinian because they know there will be little to no repercussions for it.

This is from an Israeli photographer who was violently beaten by the settlers for recording their rampage

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-photographer-beaten-by-settlers-while-trying-to-document-rampage-of-palestinian-town/

The IDF who beat this journalist and destroyed his equipment, and settlers who were rampaging and burning houses, sound like the Klu Klux Klan. The journalist was doing his job. If they didn’t want him to film them, it is because they know full well they are criminals.

It is dreadful the Israeli boy of only 14 has been murdered,by a Palestinian/s in a terrorist attack according to Israel. Many Palestinian 14 year olds and much younger children too have been murdered by the Israeli government/IDF. These people havd no moral high ground.

This is all wrong. The settlers should allow official investigations and indictments and soldiers should not beat up journalists and destroy their equipment.

Scirocco · 13/04/2024 17:00

Every time I think this has to be it, this has to be when people stop this, it just gets worse.

The IDF may eventually 'step in' with a gentle "that's enough now", once there's enough blood spilled and people terrorised. In the meantime, and afterwards, it will be the Palestinians who face being shot dead if they try to defend themselves or their homes.

I am so sorry @Parkingt111 .

The IDF has left it in a state of desolation. I remember hearing a speech that said the bombing alone of the Gaza Strip was the equivalent (minus the radiation) of 2 nuclear bombs.

The Israeli government says "forces have pulled out... people can return to their homes...". Several slight issues with that, as we can see.

Anyone who says it isn’t an occupation and it isn’t an apartheid system and the plight of the Palestinians isn’t dire needs to take a real hard look at themselves. If we cannot accept the faults of this and previous Israeli governments there is no way forward and peace.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5rdMB0oUyK/?igsh=dm9ieGV3b204cW01

Again as I have expressed in my previous posts what happened on October was 100% wrong but the problems facing Palestinians did not start in October and we all need to do what little or big acts that we can to make this crystal clear to people. We need to challenge people who value one life more than the other. Who simply turn the other way to what is happening to Palestinians.

I hope every single one of those take hostage are looked after and return to their families alive and well. In that same breath I have the humanity and the decency to say that Israel’s actions have been completely heinous in this so called war against an occupied group of people - disproportionate in response, against international law, utterly brutal in their treatment of Palestinians.

Again, I sadden to add that when Gaza is completely flattened we will see settlements. We will not get to the stage where Israel is challenged properly (e.g arms sales stopped) from either the USA or UK. History will be shaming those who stood by and looked the other way and did not challenge what is happening. I was able to explain to my primary school aged child exactly what happened after her questions from the news on the radio and she had a more decent grasp of what is happening then spineless USA and UK politicians who are total hypocrites and know full well that if this was another country doing this than Israel they would not be so blind or mute to what is happening.

In slightly better news Anera are returning to doing aid deliveries after pausing their work following the WFC deaths - can't find it now but they said they still don't feel it's safe*/workers are frightened but situation is so bad that they feel they 'have to' and their workers support that despite huge misgivings

Brave people

*the new system for co-ordinating with the IDF hasn't materialised yet - US also said IDF needs to get on with making this happen

Efacsen · 13/04/2024 04:08

Sadly seems like more of the same and OCHA is countering the IDF_COGAT line that aid to northern gaza isn't a problem any more

Eylon Levy [thought he'd been 'let go'] replied to OCHAs tweet saying 44 private contractors trucks had gone into northern gaza today. Also elsewhere the 'new gate' said to have been opened today

Difficult to see where the truth lies which is doubtless partly intentional - removing UNWRA from the equation was always about reducing oversight/accountability IMO in addition to the claims that they are 'useless' corrupt etc

Anyway US with all it's surveillance drones and satellites can literally see what's happening and said today that they're still not happy with the amount of aid so,.....

Situation with Iran is understandably distracting attention from the developing famine so OCHA needs to keep flagging it up
