Israel bombed the home of a Dr Alaa al Najjar, a paediatrician who was on duty at al Nasser hospital at the time. Nine of her children were murdered in the bombing.

How horrific! Those poor children! When things like this happen can't help but to believe that the IDF deliberately targets these families.

Heartbreaking; ‘It's Bisan From Gaza, This is What Months of Starvation Looks Like’. Man made cruelty of the worse kind.

They killed people in a bread queue outside the bakers. The ground is covered in blood.

He also said the following things that likely can be interpreted as genocidal statements:

Smotrich: Gaza Aid Is Just Enough to Avoid ‘War Crimes’ Charges While We ‘Annihilate’ the Strip Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich gave a speech Monday defending Israel’s strategy of mass devastation in Gaza, saying humanitarian aid is only being allowed in “so the world does not stop us and accuse us of war crimes.” The goal, he insisted, is to “conquer, clear, and stay” until Gaza is dismantled beyond recognition. On aid, Smotrich said only the care minimum will be allowed: “A few bakeries distributing pitas… a daily portion of cooked food. Citizens in Gaza will get a pita and a plate of food, and that’s it. That’s exactly what we see in the videos—people standing in line, waiting for a plate of soup.” The purpose, he admitted, is not relief but optics: “It allows the world to continue providing us with international protection.” “We are annihilating everything that remains in the Strip,” he declared, “simply because it is one big city of terror.” He described the new military strategy as one of permanent occupation: “No more raids with ins and outs… we are conquering, clearing, and staying until Hamas is destroyed.” He welcomed the shift toward targeting Gaza’s civil infrastructure: “The IDF is finally conducting a campaign against the civilian rule of Hamas… eliminating ministers, officials, money changers, and figures in the economic and governmental apparatus.” Boasting of the scale of destruction, Smotrich said: “We are dismantling Gaza, leaving it in ruins with unprecedented destruction, and the world still hasn’t stopped us.” He added that, personally, he would prefer a total blockade: “Until the last of the hostages returns, we should also not let water into the Gaza Strip.” Smotrich endorsed ethnic cleansing as official policy: “The population will reach the south of the Strip, and from there, God willing, to third countries, as part of President Trump’s plan.”

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that Israel is "destroying everything that's left of the Gaza Strip" and that "the army is leaving no stone unturned. We are conquering, cleansing and staying in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed."

He knows how to pick his words. The other day he was going to be moving Palestinians to a 'concentrated' area of Gaza, now he is 'cleansing' the place. Baffles me that people can think the intentions of the Israeli government are defence.

Incitement to genocide.

Another war crime recordes for the trials.

The joint statement from the UK, France and Canada condemned the extremist statements from Netanyahu government. I'm guessing this is what they were referring to.

“Netanyahu says Israel will control all of Gaza and allow in 'minimal' aid” BBC today. They are proud of their cruelty.

Today’s episode of the Rest is Politics Leading is an interview with Marwan Barghouti’s son. It’s well worth a listen to those interested in alternatives to Hamas leadership.

IDF admit that 82% of people killed in Gaza killed since Israel broke the ceasefire are civilians.

So have Israel defeated Hamas yet then? Just wondering..

If I was a betting woman my money would be on Hamas agreeing to leave Gaza soon as part of the ceasefire agreement so basically… yes.

Having caused maximum damage by starting a war they couldn’t win they now want their families to be relocated somewhere safe.

The Israeli government is angry at the possibility that Trump might actually focus on America's interests.

But also fuck Witkoff, he personally promised the mediators that food aid would enter Gaza in exchange for Edan and is currently not fulfilling that promise.

Cynically, Trump likely got Edan out to ensure that an American would not be killed during the current escalation and avoid backlash.

The Israeli captives will also be killed and starved during this phase, a decision taken by the IDF who put them last on the list of their priorities for Gaza.

Whether or not Hamas shoots them in the end, or instead they starve or get killed by bombs too like civilian Palestinians, Israel will say they were shot or otherwise killed by Hamas.

What happens to the remaining hostages is not of the slightest concern for Netanyahu and the people he has done a pact with the devil with.

I think its the same with the West Bank. Lots just pretend it's not happening, a kind of well it's not my business, I'm not a settler attitude. Not enough people actively care for there to be change.

One has to ask though how many countries would actively care enough? Islamaphobia is rife right now. It's the driving force behind the lack of action by the West on Palestine because we all know if it were Israelis that were being pushed into concentrated areas of Israel and photos of starved Israeli babies were coming out people wouldn't be making excuses for it. Action would be taken to get those poor babies enough nutrition to survive. There is so much dehunanisation when it comes to Palestinians that a lot of people not just Israelis simply don't care. It's awful but it's the truth.

It's part of the reason some people are so convinced that people talking about starvation, disease, bombings and war crimes are doing it because they antisemetic. They cannot grasp that some people would actually care what happens to Palestinians, its just such a foreign concept to them that they scramble around looking for another reason that people are talking about it.

This is what I don’t understand. At the very least in the next hour arrangements could be made to drone deliver medicines and baby formulas that are needed. It could have been done days ago by anyone.

A sea of marchers in solidarity with the Palestinians today In London. People from all backgrounds.

This is the reality of what Israel is doing (part 6)
Odras · 17/05/2025 13:39

@BelleHathor no I don’t think so. Israel isn’t even trying to cover up its war crimes anymore. The US may not care what really happens to the Palestinians but it isn’t keen in the optics of being involved in the genocide either.

The US are getting annoyed with Israel. Isreal is going for the escalation without backing and the US got their man out alone. If it was anyone else, it would look like Trump is aiming to reduce their reliance on Israel as an ally after what he said in Saudi ect… but Trump just says things. But Witkoff largely agrees with the Arab approach.

I’ve the impression that Witkoff is invested in getting out the hostages: he seems very focused on that in what he says and he gave the American hostage his dead son’s necklace as a gift. He’s probably getting very frustrated that the Israeli administration don’t prioritise them.

In Judges, Gideon leads a divine slaughter—120,000 dead.

As the extermination continues without a pause, it seems Israel really is aiming for that number at the least. It has been non stop since Edan Alexander was released. It's almost as if the Israeli government were angered that he was released without their involvement. They wanted to make sure that any doubt of hope was expelled for both the Palestinians and families of the hostages.
