Palestine

People in Gaza are now literally dropping in the streets from starvation. There's no food available at all, not even for money.

Seriously, is there not a single country on this god-forsaken planet with the will and the ability to air-drop food over Gaza?!?

This is not an exaggeration.
If aid doesn’t enter within the next 48 hours,
prepare to witness one of the largest mass death crimes in modern history.

It’s 2025. Israeli soldiers are telling the Israeli press that they’re being ordered to massacre starving civilians trying to obtain food from aid centers. Countless doctors have been telling the world that Israeli snipers are routinely, deliberately shooting children in the head and chest throughout the Gaza Strip. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the leading genocide experts and human rights authorities are saying that a genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza. The New York fucking Times just published an op-ed by a Zionist genocide scholar who’s finally admitting that it’s a genocide.

There’s no way to deny what this is anymore. If you still support Israel in the year 2025, it’s not because you don’t believe Israel is committing horrific atrocities. It’s because you believe those horrific atrocities are good, and you want to see more of them.

The most moral army in the world and the country protected by NATO and Arab League .

The burned soil spits out tails of smoke through the thick layer of black ash covering its surface, stretching from the stone crosses dotting the tombs of the village cemetery to the ancient walls of a 4th-century Byzantine church. Israeli settlers were here last Monday, July 7, inside the urban perimeter of the village. They left their mark by setting fire to the surroundings of the historic Church of al-Khader (Saint George), the most sacred site for the people of the village.

Situated northeast of Ramallah, the town of Taybeh is the last remaining predominantly Christian village in Palestine in the occupied West Bank. The attack on the Palestinian village sets a deadly precedent for its residents, but they were not surprised. This eventuality has been decades in the making, ever since Taybeh began to lose its lands to Israeli land grabs and settlement expansion.

The expulsion of these Bedouin communities from vast swathes of their pastures has been coupled with Israel’s confiscation of these towns’ lands, transforming the lives of Bedouins and villagers alike.

In the besieged Gaza Strip, three professions have emerged as a lifeline, their practitioners heroic in their efforts to alleviate the worst of the humanitarian catastrophe that is unfolding under Israel’s constant attacks on civilians and civic infrastructure.

The rescuers, the healers, and the witnesses — civil defense responders making unimaginable sacrifices to try and save people from the rubble of bombed buildings; medical professionals fighting an impossible battle with poor supplies in hospitals; and journalists risking their lives to expose the truth — are all supporting the entire population enduring genocide and famine.

According to the Health Ministry, the Israeli military has killed at least 113 civil defense responders, around 228 journalists, and at least 1,411 medical workers since October 7, 2023.

People around the world call for massive mobilization this Sunday the 20th of July, to denounce the severe famine and forced starvation imposed by the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip amid the brutal genocide.

One of the most widely circulated Reddit posts under the subreddit "Israel" encapsulated the concern from pro-Israel audiences:

“Have you all seen the new Superman movie? I find it so disrespectful and distressing that a superhero created by two Jewish artists is now being used to promote anti-Israeli messages to the world… I can't understand how this was green-lit at a time like this with global antisemitism on a rise... Of course, the invaders are portrayed as white while the victims are predominantly brown. And of course, if Israel speaks out against the film, it would be seen as 'well, if the shoe fits.'"

Users responding on Twitter wrote: “It’s so funny that they instantly recognize that the movie is about Israel’s genocide in Gaza without being told and yet still have the temerity to get offended and express their indignation in public. It’s like how come you know the evil murderous villains are Israel, guys?”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to a withdrawal of troops from the Morag Corridor in southern Gaza, according to Hebrew reports, after several days of disagreements in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas over where Israeli forces would withdraw from during a potential ceasefire deal.

Sources told Yedioth Ahronoth that a deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas on the latest withdrawal maps provided by Tel Aviv to mediators, after it conceded on the issue of the Morag Corridor.

Netanyahu stated in closed meetings that the Israeli delegation will remain in Qatar’s capital Doha until agreements are reached, and estimates suggest he is determined to secure a deal, according to the report.

On the evening of June 30, an Israeli warplane dropped a 500-pound, U.S.-made MK-82 bomb on the seaside Al-Baqa Cafe in Gaza City. The explosion killed more than 30 people and injured dozens more.

The weapon’s wide blast radius in the dense neighborhood caused indiscriminate damage, affecting unprotected civilians including men, women, children, and the elderly. Legal experts have said the attack likely violated international law under the Geneva Conventions and may constitute a war crime.

As the war grinds on, cafes like Al-Baqa aren’t just social spaces; for many, they are the only places to access electricity and the internet, which are often unavailable in people’s homes due to the ongoing blockade and widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure. For the dead, the ceasefire will never come. Here are some of their stories.

The lawyer described how Palestinians imprisoned there are allowed only two spoonfuls of rice a day, while both sugar and salt are completely banned "to prevent any rise in the happiness hormone, even a small one, from eating sugar".

"This is in addition to the frequent cell raids, the torture, and the constant searches that prisoners are subjected to."

"Vessels are going to start to avoid calling at Israeli ports. It's not about getting hit by the Houthis, but the chance of not being insured," a maritime security official told MEE. "Does a secondary or tertiary link to Israel mean you can be denied coverage?"

The Eternity C had no direct link to Israel, but Cosmoship vessels regularly called at Israeli ports last year. The CEO of Stem Shipping, the owner of Magic Seas, acknowledged that his vessels sometimes call at Israeli ports also.

※Better keep “Animation off”; could be disturbing.

>> Israel has demolished thousands of buildings across Gaza since it withdrew from a ceasefire with Hamas in March, with entire towns and suburbs … levelled in the past few weeks.

>> Satellite images show massive amounts of destruction in several areas which Israel's military command claims to have under "operational control".

>> Tel al-Sultan was one of Rafah city's most vibrant neighbourhoods...

>> Satellite images showed that much of the area had already been heavily damaged by Israeli bombing and artillery fire, but dozens of buildings had withstood the barrage.

>> But by 13 July the destruction had escalated, with even the shells of damaged buildings swept away and entire blocks torn to the ground…

European stance fuels genocide in Gaza and perpetuates illegal occupation of Palestinian territory (Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, 2025-07-16)

>> The European Union’s failure to take effective action to halt Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip represents a blatant breach of its international legal obligations, ... This inaction enables the ongoing crimes against Palestinians, granting Israel de facto impunity and effectively rewarding its actions.

>> “At a time when entire families are being wiped out, dozens of children are killed daily, and a full-scale genocide is being carried out against a defenceless population, the EU’s limited focus on sending food aid to Gaza amounts to a blatant betrayal of humanity and a failure to uphold its legal and moral responsibility ...,” said Lima Bustami, Director of Euro-Med Monitor’s Legal Department.
