Israel Turns Gaza Aid Distribution Sites Into Open Killing Fields
As global attention turns to Iran, Israeli attacks on starving Palestinians seeking aid have dramatically increased.

Every single day, starving Palestinians are forced to journey to remote areas to try and get food and attacked en masse, turning so-called aid distribution sites into open killing fields. The attacks on Palestinians seeking food have dramatically increased over the past week, with dozens of people being shot and shelled on a daily basis. The death toll from the past few days alone is shocking: at least 38 people were killed on Monday, 59 on Tuesday, 22 on Thursday, and 35 on Friday. Over 400 have been killed and more than 3,000 wounded since late May in what the Gaza health ministry calls “aid massacres”—a new term added to the Gaza genocide lexicon. Continue reading |
The Urgency of Abolishing Britain’s Colonial Bases on Cyprus
| Alfie Howis, CODEPINK London As the Gaza Freedom Flotilla approached Palestinian waters, a British spy flight took off from a British military base on Cyprus to surveil Gaza. Despite the recent narrative shift on relations with Israel, Britain remains deeply involved in the genocide of Palestinains, its efforts centred around its RAF Akrotiri military base on Cyprus, using it to launch these spy flights, which send intelligence, including targeting data, directly to the Israeli military. These bases are colonial relics, hosting American troops and intelligence agents, an affront to Cypriot sovereignty and a stain on Britain’s international standing; they must be shut down.

Catching Israel Out: Gaza and the Madleen “Selfie” Protest
| By Dr. Binoy Kampmark Global Research, June 10, 2025 The latest incident with the Madleen vessel, pictured as a relief measure by celebrity activists and sundry accompaniments to supply civilians with a modest assortment of humanitarian aid, is merely one of multiple previous efforts to break the Gaza blockade. It is easy to forget that, prior to Israel’s current program to kill, starve and empty the enclave of its Palestinian citizens after the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, Gaza had already become, arguably, the world’s largest open-air prison. It was a prison which converted all citizens into inmates trapped in a state of continual privation, placed under constant surveillance, at the mercy of the dispensations and graces of a power occupying in all but name. At any moment, officials could be extrajudicially assassinated, or families obliterated by executive fiat. Read the whole article |
Israel fischt Thunberg aus dem Meer
Israel hat das Gaza-Hilfsschiff „Madleen“ abgefangen. Greta Thunberg und die anderen Aktivist:innen sollen nach Hause geschickt werden. 9.6.20259:10 Uhr
Da waren sie noch im Trockenen Greta Thunberg und andere Aktivisten einer Menschenrechtsorganisation vor ihrer AbreiseFoto Salvatore CavalliAPdpa| Jerusalemafp/taz | Israel hat das Gaza-Hilfsschiff „Madleen“ vor seinem Eintreffen in dem Palästinensergebiet gestoppt. „Die ‚Selfie-Yacht‘ der ‚Promis‘“ sei auf sicherem Weg nach Israel umgeleitet worden, erklärte das israelische Außenministerium am Montag in Online-Netzwerken. Die Aktivisten an Bord, darunter die schwedische Klimaaktivistin Greta Thunberg und die Deutsche Yasemin Acar, blieben demnach unbeschadet und sollen nach Hause zurückkehren. Das Segelschiff liege mittlerweile in Israel vor Anker, erklärte das Außenministerium. Alle Passagiere seien „in Sicherheit und unbeschadet“. Sie seien mit belegten Broten und Wasser versorgt worden. „Die winzige Menge an Hilfsgütern auf der Yacht, die nicht von den ‚Promis‘ aufgebraucht wurde, wird nun über echte Hilfskanäle in den Gazastreifen gebracht“, hieß es weiter.

Zionists are in denial: Greta exposed them and their mass starvation strategy
Their mockery is a sign of desperation…
| Ricky Hale and Council Estate Media Jun 10, 2025 Zionists are in damage limitation mode. They are insisting Greta and her crew mates achieved nothing aboard their so-called „selfie yacht“, and Israelis proved they are The World’s Most Moral Pirates™ by offering their prisoners a sandwich. Let’s cut through the bullshit, here is what Greta achieved: She reminded the world, many who are only half-paying attention as they go about their daily struggles, that Israel has imposed a starvation blockade, that it will arrest and detain anyone who tries to feed Palestinians, that it opens fire on Palestinians while pretending to distribute aid, that it acts with sheer disregard for international law, that it sees international waters as its own, that it gives itself the right to starve whoever it wants and arrest whoever it wants. And it’s worth emphasising this point, again and again, just because Greta and her crew were smiling does not mean they weren’t potentially in danger. Continue reading |
Greta Thunberg and friends on intercepted ‘selfie yacht’ will be forced to watch ‘video of the horrors’ of Oct. 7, Israel says

Israel Defense Forces captured and boarded the Madleen, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, after the Swedish activist and the others on board tried to break the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip — just hours after Israeli officials demanded they call off the stunt. |

A Timeline of US-Israeli Aid Massacres: 10 days of the ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’
The US-Israeli ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ is not about aid; it’s a tactic of genocide. In its eight days of operation, it has facilitated the massacre of 110 Palestinians and the wounding of more
| CODEPINK Alert Jun 07, 2025 A timeline of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s operation in Gaza: May 27 The ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ (GHF) opened its first aid distribution point in Rafah. US mercenaries forced starved Palestinians into barricades in an image many have hauntingly compared to the Nazi holocaust. Not only was this a dehumanizing charade that forced thousands of people to traverse miles on foot, but it quickly became an opportunity for Israeli fire. US soldiers left the site via helicopter, leaving Israeli occupation soldiers to shoot at people waiting in line for food for their families. They killed three people, injured more than 46 others, and seven people are still missing. Continue Reading |

Turning an Enemy into a Friend. “The Deliberate Destruction of Gaza Continues Unabated”. Yakov Rabkin
| By Prof. Yakov M. Rabkin Global Research, June 05, 2025 The deliberate destruction of Gaza continues unabated as I write these lines. Belatedly, a few Israelis have begun decrying the starvation and killings that their army—a people’s army—has perpetrated since October 2023. These acts, supported by the majority of the country’s Jews, exceed in cruelty and brutality the violence that the IDF routinely used against Palestinians since before the unilateral declaration of independence in 1948. Dispossession, deportation, and death have been their tragic fate. Continue reading on Global Research |

The slaughter in Gaza entraps and attacks the helpless, turning shelters into mass graves, erasing entire families, weaponizing nutrition and famine.

Israelischer Terror
| (…) Dieser Abstumpfungsprozess fällt uns vor allem dann leicht, wenn es nicht Menschen und Geschichten sind, die auf uns einprasseln, sondern (vermeintlich) abstrakte Zahlen. 71.000 ist eine solche Zahl. Laut Unicef sind aktuell 71.000 Kinder im Gazastreifen von akuter Mangelernährung bedroht. Eine andere Zahl ist 53.655. So viele Menschen sollen getötet, rund 1,9 Millionen Menschen vertrieben worden sein. Genau überprüfen lassen sich die Zahlen nicht. Die israelische Regierung erlaubt internationalen Journalisten keinen Zutritt nach Gaza. Mit dem grausamen Terrorattentat der Hamas vom 7. Oktober 2023 ist die Region zum Schauplatz undenkbaren Leids geworden. Die auf den Anschlag folgenden Angriffe des israelischen Militärs auf den Gazastreifen werden mittlerweile auch von engen Partnern Israels kritisiert – seit dieser Woche sogar aus Deutschland. So sagte Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz zu Beginn dieser Woche: Das, was die israelische Armee jetzt im Gazastreifen macht: Ich verstehe offen gestanden nicht mehr, mit welchem Ziel. “ |

Israel is pretending to feed Palestinians while continuing to starve them
This just keeps getting more grotesque…
| Ricky Hale Council Estate Media By now, you’ve probably seen the images of Palestinians being crammed into cattle holds and forced to beg soldiers for food. They had to stand in blistering heat for hours after walking ten to fifteen miles, only to be given meagre scraps, or in most cases, be turned away without food. Over 30 people were reportedly abducted by IDF soldiers while queuing, and others were shot. Last year, I attended the Mailman School of Public Health graduation ceremony at Columbia University. The student selected to deliver a speech on behalf of the student body was an Arab woman. First, she spoke about her experience at the university as a student, but then shifted to the war in Gaza. During her speech, she invoked the word ‘genocide’ several times, about Israel’s atrocious activities and onslaught on Gaza. . |

Donald Trump will Gaza in ein „US-Territorium“ verwandeln? Abschied von „Großisrael“?
Würden die maritimen Gasreserven des Gazastreifens der US-amerikanischen Gerichtsbarkeit unterliegen?
| Prof. Michel ChossudovskyGlobal Research, 14. Mai 2025 Anfang Februar, kaum zwei Wochen nach seiner Amtseinführung, deutete Präsident Trump an, dass Gaza ein US-Territorium werden würde, mit der Aussicht, dort ein Luxusimmobilienprojekt mit Villen, Luxuswohnungen, Hotels und Kasinos zu entwickeln. Wie viele Jahre würde es dauern, den Rubel zu entfernen und wieder aufzubauen? Auf Trumps Rat hin würden die Palästinenser umgesiedelt und aus ihrer Heimat vertrieben. „Ich möchte, dass Ägypten die Leute aufnimmt … Sie sprechen hier von wahrscheinlich anderthalb Millionen Menschen, und wir räumen einfach mit der ganzen Sache auf und sagen: ‚Wissen Sie, es ist vorbei.‘“ [sagte Trump dem König von Jordanien] ….

‘Deliberate massacre’ in Gaza as starving Palestinians seek Israeli-US aid
At least three dead as thousands try to reach a food distribution site of the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in southern Gaza.
27 May 2025 Click to watch this video| At least three people have died and dozens have been injured in war-ravaged Gaza as thousands of starving Palestinians attempted to get food from a controversial Israeli-United States organisation, laying bare the scale of the catastrophe inflicted on the enclave by Israel’s three-month blockade of aid. In punishing midday heat on Tuesday, thousands of Palestinians clambered over fences and pushed through packed crowds to reach life-saving supplies brought by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a new and controversial group tasked with the delivery of aid to Palestinians in the besieged enclave. |
US soldiers are invading Gaza under the guise of delivering aid. We won’t fall for it.
| CODEPINK Alert May 21, 2025 Nuvpreet Kalra US veterans-turned-mercenaries with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation landed at ‘Ben Gurion’ Airport over the weekend. They are weaponizing humanitarian aid to enforce Israel’s plans for ethnic cleansing, checkpoints, and occupation. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), also described as “the American humanitarian plan“ by the Zionist minister Gideon Sa’ar, has been tasked with carrying out Israel’s plan for aid distribution. Tasked by whom? The US and Israel themselves. This entire ‘aid’ apparatus has been described as Israel-initiated and US-supported. This speaks to the broader Zionist project, of course, and thus ought to be the lens through which this new aid organization should be viewed. The GHF is made up of US military veterans who intend to patrol Gaza and set up “aid hubs” only operating in southern and central Gaza, working squarely with Israel’s plans to ethnically cleanse the north of Gaza.

Das Schweigen des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs zu den Vorwürfen des Völkermords und der Mittäterschaft. Prof. Alfred de Zayas
| Alfred de Zayas und Peter KoenigGlobal Research, 27. Mai 2025 Die Pressemitteilung (siehe unten) weist auf eine der vielen unermüdlichen Bemühungen des ehemaligen stellvertretenden UN-Menschenrechtskommissars hin – der während eines Großteils seiner Amtszeit als amtierender Menschenrechtskommissar fungierte –, die Aufmerksamkeit des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofs (IStGH) auf den zionistisch-israelischen Völkermord im Gazastreifen, im Westjordanland, im Libanon und in Syrien zu lenken. Dies ist der dritte Versuch. Der Ankläger des IStGH reagiert schlicht nicht. Auch wenn es sich bei dem Beschwerdeführer um den ehemaligen amtierenden UN-Menschenrechtskommissar handelt. Ist dies ein Hinweis auf die zionistische Macht Israels? Oder auf die Feigheit des IStGH und seine damit einhergehende Missachtung der Menschenrechte? Oder ist es die Angst um sein Leben, die den Ankläger davon abhält, der Beschwerde nachzugehen? In der heutigen gesetzlosen Welt ist alles möglich. Demokratie ist zu einem wertlosen, lächerlichen Schlagwort geworden. In Rumänien beispielsweise, einem EU-Land und NATO-Land, verliert ein führender konservativer Kandidat, der gegen die EU, die NATO und die Sanktionen gegen Russland ist, mit 20 Prozentpunkten Vorsprung die Wahl. |

Gaza will be concentration camp, declares Netanyahu
His colleague, meanwhile, says Gaza will be destroyed. Genocide in plain sight
| Owen Jones May 07, 2025 Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has announced that they are going to permanently seize Gaza and drive its surviving population into the south. In common parlance, this is known as a concentration camp. Combine this with what Netanyahu declared just over a month ago, when he refuted claims that had been made about Israel’s strategy. He said: The second claim – that we are unwilling to discuss the final stage. This is also incorrect. We are willing. Hamas will lay down its weapons. Its leaders will be allowed to leave. We will see to the general security in the Gaza Strip and will allow the realization of the Trump plan for voluntary migration. This is the plan.

Video: „Gaza von der Landkarte tilgen“: Die große Geldagenda. Die Beschlagnahmung der maritimen Erdgasreserven Palästinas
Video Interview with Michel Chossudovsky
| By Felicity Arbuthnot and Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, April 29, 2025 Einführung Israel hat am 7. Oktober 2023 eine Invasion des Gazastreifens begonnen. Wie Felicity Arbuthnot vor 10 Jahren in einem Artikel vom 30. Dezember 2013 vorausschauend darlegte : „ Wenn alles nach Plan läuft, wird Israel zu einem großen Exporteur von Gas und teilweise auch Öl werden .“ Im gegenwärtigen Kontext besteht Israels Option „Alles läuft nach Plan“ darin, Palästina zu umgehen und Gaza „von der Landkarte zu tilgen“ sowie ALLE Offshore-Gasreserven Gazas im Wert von mehreren Milliarden Dollar zu beschlagnahmen. Das ultimative Ziel besteht nicht nur darin, die Palästinenser aus ihrer Heimat zu vertreiben, sondern auch darin , die mehrere Milliarden Dollar schweren Erdgasreserven vor der Küste des Gazastreifens zu konfiszieren, und zwar jene, die 1999 der BG (BG Group) gehörten , sowie die Entdeckungen im Levante-Gebiet von 2013 Update: Israels geheimes Geheimdienstmemorandum Ein offizielles „geheimes“ Memorandum des israelischen Geheimdienstes empfiehlt die zwangsweise und dauerhafte Umsiedlung der 2,2 Millionen palästinensischen Einwohner des Gazastreifens auf die ägyptische Sinai-Halbinsel, genauer gesagt in ein Flüchtlingslager auf ägyptischem Gebiet. Es gibt Hinweise auf israelisch-ägyptische Verhandlungen sowie Konsultationen mit den USA . Das zehnseitige Dokument vom 13. Oktober 2023 trägt das Logo des Geheimdienstministeriums und bewertet drei Optionen für die Zukunft der Palästinenser im Gazastreifen.

Expulsion and Occupation: Israel’s Proposed Gaza Plan
| By Dr. Binoy Kampmark Global Research, May 07, 2025 Killing civilians wholesale, starving them to convince those unaffected to change course, and shepherding whole populations like livestock into conditions of further misery would all qualify as heinous crimes in international law. When it comes to Israel’s war in Gaza, this approach is seen as necessary politics, unalloyed by the restraints of humanitarianism. When confronted with these harsh realities on the ground, unequivocal denials follow: This is not happening in Gaza; no one is starving. And if that were the case, blame those misguided savages in Hamas. As the conflict chugs along in pools of blood and bountiful gore, the confused shape of Israel’s intentions continues in all its glorious nebulousness. Pretend moderation clouds murderous desire. There is no sense that those unfortunate Israeli hostages captured by Hamas in its assault on October 7, 2023 matter anymore, being merely decorative for the imminent slaughter. There is even less sense that Hamas will be cleansed and removed from the strip, however attractive this idea continues to be. The IDF chief of staff, Lt. General Eyal Zamier, confirmed that the approved plan will involve “the capture of the Strip and holding the territories, moving the Gazan population south for its defence, denying Hamas and the ability to distribute humanitarian supplies, and powerful attacks against Hamas.

New Documentary: “Facts on the Ground in Palestine”. The Settlers by Louis Theroux
A Review
| By Kim Petersen Global Research, May 08, 2025 The straightforward responses in the documentary The Settlers by Louis Theroux will not surprise anyone who has kept abreast of the long-running Zionist plan to create facts-on-the-ground in Palestine. What is surprising is that this documentary was produced and broadcast by the BBC, a broadcaster that is usually inimical to Palestinian suffering. The documentary (currently viewable at Rumble.com) has been noticed. The Independent considers The Settlers to be a “masterpiece.” The Middle East Eye hails the documentary as “an unflinching look at the Israelis [sic] intent on stealing the West Bank.” The Islam Channel praises Theroux for “highlight[ing] the horrifying influence of the illegal Israeli settler movement.” The title of the Spectator’s review was rather enigmatic: “How come the only Palestinians Louis Theroux met were non-violent sweeties?” The Spectator granted, “In a program called The Settlers, it’s perhaps fair enough that the focus should be so squarely on these people and their intransigence.” Part of the BBC Documentary 'The Settlers' |

Carnage in Gaza and Global 195
| By Dr. Chandra Muzaffar Global Research, March 24, 2025 Even by Israel’s brutal, barbaric standards, the cruel, callous carnage carried out by its military in Gaza has come as a shock to the world. The carnage which occurred on Tuesday 18th March 2025 killed 436 individuals, the majority of them children and women. What has exacerbated the tragedy is the fact that the carnage happened as its victims were preparing for, or partaking of, their dawn meal just before beginning their daily fast during Ramadan, one of Islam’s most revered practices. It is important to note that a big portion of the Gazan population is being subjected to starvation by the Israeli government as a way of forcing them out of the Strip. For Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, this would be integral to his state’s agenda to ethnically cleanse Palestine of Palestinians. But Palestinian resistance is staunch. Part of that resistance which has happened at almost the same time as the 18th March massacre is the launch of Global 195 a worldwide legal coalition dedicated to “holding accountable Israel and dual national individuals alleged to have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.” The coalition is spearheaded by the International Center of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP). Viewed in the context of other recent moves by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court to challenge Israeli impunity, it is obvious that Israel’s wanton transgression of International Law and its contempt for shared civilisational norms of conduct are coming to an end. |

Why Does Donald Trump Want to Transform Gaza into a “U.S. Territory”? Goodbye to “Greater Israel”?
Gaza’s maritime gas reserves would be under U.S. Jurisdiction?
| By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, February 12, 2025 In early February, barely two weeks after his inauguration, President Trump intimated that Gaza would become a US territory, with a view to developing a luxury real estate project with mansions, luxury apartments, hotels and casinos. How many years would it take to remove the ruble and rebuild? Under Trump’s advisory, Palestinians would be relocated and excluded from their homeland. “I would like Egypt to take people,…You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say: ‘You know, it’s over.’” [Trump told the king of Jordan] …. “I would love for you to take on more, ‘cause I am looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now, and it’s a mess. It’s a real mess.” Video: President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu: Press Conference |
Rothschild’s Gaza Land Grab
| By Dean Henderson Global Research, February 12, 2025 Dean Henderson 6 February 2025 It was disappointing enough that President Trump’s first meeting with a foreign leader was with Israeli war criminal Bibi Netanyahu. But it got worse. During their joint press conference he shocked the world by announcing that the US wanted to simply take over Gaza and turn it into a “riviera” for Trump’s billionaire friends, some of whom he owes lots of money. Will this Multi-billion Dollar Real Estate Project be Carried Out? It’s doubtful. There is an unspoken objective, which is barely mentioned by the mainstream media. As outlined by Felicity Arbuthnot with foresight 11 years ago in a December, 30 2013 article: “Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, “If All Goes to Plan””. Arbuthnot was referring to the ownership of Gaza’s maritime natural gas reserves, which belong to the State of Palestine. At the time of writing, the Netanyahu government is planning to appropriate these maritime gas reserves. What this signifies is that Israel is intent upon annexing Gaza as well as destroying an entire country. |

Palestinians have nowhere to sleep as their tents are flooded
| Ricky Hale and Council Estate Media Jan 02, 2025 Every time you think life in Gaza can’t get crueller, Israel somehow finds a way to make things even more miserable for Palestinians. While we’ve been hearing horror stories of babies dying of hypothermia because their immunocompromised bodies can’t cope with the harsh conditions as wind and rain penetrates their makeshift tents, the flooding in Gaza has only worsened. Prior to the storms of the last week, it was reported that 10,000 tents in Gaza had been damaged or washed away. That number is now expected to be much higher. It was believed that over 90% of the 135,000 tents urgently needed to be replaced because they weren’t sturdy enough to cope with the conditions. It’s unclear how many are still usable. Read all |
What It’s Truly Like to Sleep in a Damp, Frigid Tent: A Report From Gaza
Five newborns have died of hypothermia amid the cold in Gaza. Doctors tell Drop Site the deaths are a direct result of Israel’s blockade
| Abubaker Abed Jan 01, 2025 DEIR AL-BALAH, GAZA—On the morning of Dec 28th, Yahya Al-Batraan, a 40-year-old father of five sons and three daughters, got up in his dilapidated tent in Deir al-Balah’s western parts near the beach to find his 1-month-old baby, Jomaa, had frozen to death. His twin brother was hospitalized for hypothermia at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital and faces a similar fate. Al-Batraan was displaced from Beit Lahia a year ago. His two brothers and many of his relatives were killed before his eyes. His house was razed to the ground after Israeli troops invaded and annihilated the camp. Six people have frozen to death in Gaza during the past week, where the low temperatures have reached the low 40s in Fahrenheit—or about 8 degrees Celsius; five were infants less than a month old. Al-Batraan’s newborn baby will not be the last to die from hypothermia as conditions continue to deteriorate in the besieged territory. Read all |
Continuity of Barbarism. Empire and Its Proxies Destroy Healthcare and Humanity as Policy. Mark Taliano
| By Mark Taliano In Syria and Gaza, the mechanics of Western-perpetrated terror are eerily similar. Empire’s proxies, al Qaeda, ISIS and affiliates in Syria, and Zionists in occupied Palestine, destroy healthcare as policy. Raed all |

War on Gaza Crystalizes Israel’s Image. Prof. Yakov Rabkin
| By Prof. Yakov M. Rabkin The contemporary history of the Jews presents a more daring case of such re-education. For centuries, Jewish ideals have stressed mercy, modesty, and beneficence. The abhorrence of violence is so ingrained that in many Jewish communities, knives, which could be tools of murder, must be removed from the table before reciting the grace after a meal. |

‘A Starvation Policy’: Former UN Aid Chief on How Gaza Suffering Is on a ‘Different Level’
Jan Egeland talks to Mehdi about his visit to Gaza, the ICC arrest warrants, and how Israel under Netanyahu is behaving like Syria under Assad.VideoMeet Jan Egeland. He’s a giant in the world of humanitarian affairs, having held top positions across renowned humanitarian and human rights organizations over the past two decades. The former Norwegian foreign minister served as the UN’s humanitarian chief before becoming the secretary general of the respected Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). Egeland was also on the ground providing relief during the Syrian Civil War and, before that, Israel’s 2006 war on Lebanon. He even coordinated relief in the aftermath of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. And, yet, this is how he describes what’s happening in Gaza: “There are so many horror scenes on our watch, but Gaza is, in a way, just this indiscriminate warfare on quite a different level.” As humanitarian groups have worked tirelessly to get aid into the area, Egeland also noted how Israel has enacted a “starvation policy” against the people of Gaza. |
In Northern Gaza, Buildings Weakened by Airstrikes Are Collapsing on Families Seeking Shelter from Cold and Rain
“We are trapped in this broken house knowing it could collapse on top of us, but where can we go?”
الصحفي حسام شبات Dec 13, 2024
| Every day, journalist Hossam Shabat documents new horrors the Israeli military is wreaking on northern Gaza in a concentrated campaign of extermination and ethnic cleansing. In a recent post on X he wrote, “They have killed everyone in northern Gaza. The journalist, the paramedic, the doctor, the civil defense worker.” In his second dispatch for Drop Site News, Hossam writes about the struggle of displaced families pouring into Gaza City from besieged towns in the north to find any shelter, including an increasing trend of people living in severely damaged homes as a last resort, only for them to collapse on top of them. |

Death march from Beit Lahia
| Hossam Shabat reports from northern Gaza on Israel’s mass expulsion campaign Hossam Shabat, a 23-year-old journalist with Al Jazeera Mubasher, is one of the few reporters to have remained and survived in northern Gaza since Israel’s genocidal assault began 14 months ago. His bravery and dedication to covering one of the most brutal military campaigns in recent history is almost beyond comprehension. Hossam has witnessed untold death and suffering on a daily basis. He has been displaced over 20 times. His colleagues have been killed in front of him. Last month he was wounded in an Israeli airstrike. Hossam is among six Al Jazeera journalists the Israeli military has publicly accused of being terrorists. He recently said that he feels hunted. Story by Hossam Shabat GAZA CITY — The Israeli military forced thousands of Palestinians in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, to flee from one of the last remaining shelters and surrounding homes in the besieged town in the early hours of Wednesday morning, sending men, women and children on an hours-long death march under heavy artillery shelling and gunfire. Thousands of displaced families had been taking shelter in the Abu Tamam school complex in Beit Lahia in a last ditch effort to remain in the town amid a brutal extermination and expulsion campaign conducted by Israeli forces in northern Gaza over the last two months. Israeli troops assaulted the school complex, shelled and bombed the area, and issued expulsion orders through quadcopters fitted with loudspeakers, according to witnesses, forcing terrified families outside in the middle of the night. Leaving much of their scant belongings behind, civilians were forced to walk for an hour and a half, along Salah al-Din road—the main thoroughfare running through the enclave—before being forced to pass through an Israeli checkpoint. |

FORCE EVACUATION AND SMASH THE CAMPS
A report from inside Gaza
| Seymour Hersh Nov 20, 2024 Israel, fortified by bombs and funding from the Biden administration, is escalating the forced evacuation of hundreds of thousands from the north of Gaza to the south, amid fierce bombing and the deprivation of food and water for those who stay behind. This is continuing amid marches and other demonstrations sponsored by the religious right in Israel whose leadership also is calling for north Gaza to be turned over to Israeli settlers. What was a worrisome rumor in Gaza more and more seems like a reality. Continue reading |
As Infested Flour Becomes a Staple, State Dept “Still Assessing” Israel’s Aid Restrictions to Gaza
This is the most difficult period I have endured since Israels genocida
“I dream of food every day”
 Abubaker Abed Nov 13, 2024This is the most difficult period I have endured since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began last year. Everyone is so hungry. Over the past week, my family and I have resorted to eating canned pet food mixed with poor-quality rice that feels like chewing plastic. We live in Deir al-Balah, and like everywhere else in Gaza, there is nothing to buy in the markets. We typically eat one meal a day, usually some canned food along with olive oil and za’atar. To bake bread, we have to use bug-infested flour. Some days, when we are unable to find anything else, we are forced to pay absurd prices for vegetables that are rotten. I have severe stomach pains. I would rather fast than eat this. I dream of food every day. I imagine our fridge full of meat, lettuce, milk, and cheese. I sometimes talk to myself at night, when I’m hungry and have nothing to eat. I dream of when I will be able to sit at a dinner table with my family again. My nephew and niece, both 2 years old, wake up every day crying for an egg. Their mothers don’t know what to do. To distract them a bit, we show them videos of eggs on the internet. |
Amsterdam shows us just how brazenly the media rewrites history
Imagine how many times it’s done this without us noticing
We’ve just witnessed the mainstream media rewriting history in a way that would make George Orwell proud. Well, not proud, I guess, he’d probably turn in his grave because this is exactly what he tried to warn us against.In a rare lapse, Sky News told the truth about what took place in Amsterdam, undermining the narrative of anti-Semitic violence against Israeli football fans. Clearly, someone got a call, probably from the Sky News editor whose Twitter feed is a dumpster fire of pro-Israel misinformation. Sandy Rashty hangs out with Douglas Murray and shares posts from the likes of David Collier and she is the woman in charge of Sky’s news output.Continue reading |

Listen: The media’s role in lying about Amsterdam violence just gets darker
In reporting the Amsterdam violence as antisemitism, the media knowingly aired disinformation. They peddled fake news. Admitting that requires a troubling recalibration of perspective if we are ever to understand the world we live in.
