ears of torture and the horrors of Israeli prisons were laid bare today as Palestinians welcomed their freed prisoners.
Some arrived without limbs, others skeletal from starvation, and several so weak they could barely stand, suffering severe dizziness from years of medical neglect behind bars.
Earlier this week, as President Donald Trump attempted to enforce a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, reports emerged that dozens of Palestinians — as many as 50 — as well as three aid workers, were killed by IDF gunfire while awaiting aid in Southern Gaza. Similar massacres are taking place on a near daily basis.
“They talk about using artillery on a junction full of civilians as if it’s normal,” one military source told Haaretz of a meeting they attended with leaders of the IDF’s Southern Command. “An entire conversation about whether it’s right or wrong to use artillery, without even asking why that weapon was needed in the first place. What concerns everyone is whether it’ll hurt our legitimacy to keep operating in Gaza. The moral aspect is practically non-existent. No one stops to ask why dozens of civilians looking for food are being killed every day.”
Markers of the callousness in the IDF’s operations within Gaza continue to elicit shock after more than a year of brutality. One source who spoke to Haaretz indicated that the militarized aid operation in his region of Gaza has a name: Operation Salted Fish.
I have assisted the clarification of this Report by removing all the obvious usage of “American English” – replacing such errors with correct “British English”. On the face of it, it seems counter-productive to criticise the US System whilst using a deficient US interpretation of the English language to do it. Life is full of ironies – and to be fair – the original version of this vitally important text was written in the Chinese language. Long story short – the US is a war-mongering country – not a peace-loving State! America’s Human Right’s Record is appalling. This is partly due to the fact that the US uses Human Rights violations as a normal part of its foreign policy – knowing full-well that it controls the political system that could do something about it – but which is never allowed. Zionist Israel follows in the shadow of US Human Rights violations – together these two regimes will be remembered as amongst the very worse humanity has produced. Even more so – as neither regime looks like stopping its Human Rights abuses anytime soon.
Earlier, Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, called on Israel to allow the UN and its partners to carry out their work unhindered.
“Before the spread of famine, community-based distribution centres, supported by partners, provided food and assistance to 2 million people, spread across the Gaza Strip. Five months on the ongoing attempts to replace the UN-coordinated response by four Israeli militarized distribution points, hunger has become the latest killer in Gaza,” he wrote on social media X.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, and 150,000 have been injured.
The crimes of the modern State of Israel are legend. The International Community has to draw a distinction between the Jewish diaspora in general (which exists across the world) – and the post-1947 (modern State of Israel which is premised upon the Jewish (middle-class) ideology of “Zionism” – which was declared a form of “White Supremacy” following a 1975 UN Resolution. Zionism and Jewish theology are not the same and not all Jews support Zionism. Furthermore, not all Zionists are Jews. The genocide that is unfolding in Gaza today is the product of the International Community treating Israel as if it is an entity that exists outside the law of civilised countries. Instead of firmly blaming Israel for its obvious crimes – the world media focuses only on the outcome of the crimes themselves – as if each murder happened in a vacuum and has no connection to any organised human activity. This flawed approach allows Israel to be separated from its crimes – and continue with the fallacy that it is the eternal “victim”. Jewish people throughout the world have to lead the drive to hold Israel accountable, and arrest, imprison, and/or execute those responsible (assisting the ICC and ICJ). The non-Zionist Jews must assist in the development of a “new” Nuremberg Trials to process the Israeli War Criminals. The Jewish State must be forced to behave in a civilised manner.
UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher told the Security Council last week that movement requires navigating an obstacle course of coordination with Israeli forces, through active hostilities, traveling on damaged roads, and often being forced to wait at holding points or pass through areas controlled by criminal gangs.
“All too often, civilians approaching UN trucks are shot at,” OCHA said. “Collecting supplies safely requires reliable assurances that troops would not engage or be present along convoy routes.”
Israeli UN ambassador Danny Danon, speaking at the Security Council, announced restrictive measures against OCHA staff.
Israel will no longer grant automatic visas to OCHA’s international staff. Visas will now be limited to one-month terms, said Danon.
Stephane Dujarric, chief spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said that any punitive measures will only add to the obstacles preventing humanitarians from reaching people facing hunger, displacement and deprivation.
