Zionist-Israel “Initiates 2nd Stage of Genocidal War” – Arab Countries Warn of Escalating Tensions! (29.10.2023)

Countries in the region warned Israel on Saturday against further ground operations in the coastal enclave. Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it “condemns and denounces any ground operations carried out by Israel due to the threat they pose to the lives of Palestinian civilians”.

Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said in a post on social media platform X that an “Israeli ground escalation will have dire results for civilians, and devastating humanitarian and economic dimensions.”

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and visiting Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Alzayani stressed in Jordan’s capital Amman the importance of joint Arab action to halt the ongoing Israel-Hamas escalation.

Also in the day, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused the West of failing to stop the Israeli offensive and slammed Israel’s attacks on Gaza at a pro-Palestinian rally. He said that “it’s the West that is most responsible” for the killings in Gaza.

The Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned in a statement that Israeli behavior “devoid of any controls or accountability” may ignite the Middle East, fuel hatred in the world, and threaten regional and international peace.

The Israel-Hamas conflict has entered its 22nd day, and the death toll of Palestinians from Israeli military strikes on the Gaza Strip has risen to 7,703, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said on Saturday.

Meanwhile, about 1,400 Israelis were killed, the majority of them in the Hamas offensive that occurred three weeks ago, while about 230 civilians, the majority of them civilians, are being held captive by Hamas.

How the Imperial War Museum Relegated the “Black Experience” of WWII to a Back Corridor! (26.10.2023)

When we entered a back corridor – slightly disheartened by the shallowness of the IWM coverage of WWII from an ordinary British and Chinese perspective – we were astonished to find that a ‘Black’ British art exhibition – regarding WWII – had been consigned to an ‘out of the way’ place! The corridor is both bare and bleak – the sort of place one (momentarily) traverses through to get to another place – or perhaps rest for a moment to get one’s bearings. In no civilised way should this location be interpreted as ‘suitable’ for an art exhibition – as it reeks with Eurocentric disdain! Such is the contemporary IWM and the disjointed face it shows to a general public it intends to fleece in its gift shops!

The Martyred Children of Palestine: How Zionist Israel Illegally Targets the Youth of Gaza! (25.10.2023)

He told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “My family members are not great in number – and will never be. I always remember the loving and kind Eileen. She loved everything and sang a lot. Celine too. They were closer to my heart than I was to myself. The Israeli Occupation killed them while they were in their mother’s arms – when they were afraid.” “The whole family was in one room.” He added: “They took them out in pieces. A few months ago, my sister Hadeel had received a job promotion at her work in the Rafah Governorate and was appointed as a Secondary School Teacher. She dreamed of a beautiful future for her children and was happy to have given birth to a boy. To me, she was a loving mother, a close sister, and a smart nanny.” “She was the first to give me books to read. She always believed in the importance of reading, and this is the approach she tried to follow with her children.”
