Palestine

Today is August 7, 80th anniversary of united state dropping the first atomic bomb on a civilian target in #Hiroshima, #Japan.

135000 people died in a matter of seconds and many more carried the scars of the most monstrous #WMD with them for decades.

Today's #Gaza looks so much like Hiroshima. But unlike Hiroshi, the civilians in Gaza are dying a painful and torturous death in the past 22 months.

Ahead of the meeting, Hamas is vigorously rejecting Israel’s allegations that Palestinian forces in Gaza are abusing Israeli captives by depriving them of food. “For the Israeli prisoners held by the resistance in Gaza, they are experiencing the same conditions as the people of Gaza,” Hamas officials wrote in an August 4 letter to the council obtained by Drop Site. “The famine—caused by the occupation regime—affects all areas of the Strip, and inevitably its effects are reflected upon the 'Israeli' captives, just as they are reflected upon their captors, their families, and the overwhelming majority of Gaza’s population.”

Gaza’s health care system has been systematically targeted by the Israeli military and is struggling to cope without medical supplies, with Palestinian doctors and medical workers suffering from hunger and malnutrition themselves. On Monday, officials at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said at least 38 people died after arriving at the facility over the previous 24-hour period, and many hundreds more are being treated for injuries.

According to three Unit 8200 sources, the cloud-based storage platform has facilitated the preparation of deadly airstrikes and has shaped military operations in Gaza and the West Bank.

Thanks to the control it exerts over Palestinian telecommunications infrastructure, Israel has long intercepted phone calls in the occupied territories. But the indiscriminate new system allows intelligence officers to play back the content of cellular calls made by Palestinians, capturing the conversations of a much larger pool of ordinary civilians.

What a cunt!

Seen from the air, Gaza looks like the ruins of an ancient civilisation, brought to light after centuries of darkness. A patchwork of concrete shapes and shattered walls, neighbourhoods scattered with craters, rubble and roads that lead nowhere. The remnants of cities wiped out.

But here, there has been no natural disaster and no slow passage of time.

Gaza was a bustling, living place until less than two years ago, for all the challenges its residents endured even then. Its markets were crowded, its streets were full of children. That Gaza is gone – not buried under volcanic ash, not erased by history, but razed by an Israeli military campaign that has left behind a place that looks like the aftermath of an apocalypse.

As a Palestinian family in the town of Hazma, located northeast of occupied #Jerusalem, prepared to hold their son's wedding, Israeli soldiers raided the family's home and gave them 1 hour to evacuate before the demolition process began.

THIS IS WHAT LIVING UNDER APARTHEID OCCUPATION MEANS.

Nineteen former Israeli military, intelligence and police chiefs warned that the Jewish state is “on the precipice of defeat” in Gaza, calling for an end to the war to save the hostages.

The retired Israeli leaders, including former prime minister and IDF chief Ehud Barak, said in a video released Sunday that Israel has accumulated too many losses in Gaza with no clear end in sight, with the officials accusing Netanyahu of keeping the war alive for the sole purpose of preserving the fragile right-wing coalition that controls his government.

“We are on the precipice of defeat,” said former Mossad director Tamir Pardo, referencing the mass backlash against Israel over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

TEL AVIV/CAIRO, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu favours a complete military takeover of Gaza for the first time in two decades, media reported, and was to meet senior security officials on Tuesday to finalise a new strategy in the 22-month war.

Mediation between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas has collapsed despite intense international pressure for a ceasefire to ease hunger and appalling conditions in the besieged Palestinian enclave.

Eight more people died of starvation or malnutrition in the past 24 hours, Gaza's health ministry said, while another 79 died in the latest Israeli fire. Netanyahu was to meet Defence Minister Israel Katz and military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to decide on a strategy to take to cabinet later this week, an Israeli official told Reuters. Strategic Affairs Minister Rob Dermer, a confidant of Netanyahu, would also be present.

[It's disgusting how feeble and late this is, but it is an indication of how popular sentiment continues to shift against Israel. 👍 ]

In recent days, a majority of Democratic senators voted for a resolution to bar the sale of assault rifles to Israeli police, a marked change in the party since the start of the military conflict. Their unprecedented rebuke comes as polling shows slipping support for Israel among Democratic voters, signaling the prolonged war has potentially caused permanent damage to the country’s relationship with the Democratic Party.

Opposition parties (Rikken, Reiwa, Kokumin)in Japan are pushing for recognition of the statehood of Palestine.
Though PM Ishiba and LDP are just a minion of America.

パレスチナの国家承認、野党から要求相次ぐ　石破首相は明言せず https://digital.asahi.com/articles/AST8531QST85UTFK00JM.html

A Palestinian medic was killed on Monday after an airdropped aid box fell directly on his head in the Al-Zawayda area in the central Gaza Strip.

Odai Nafez Quraan, a nurse at the Al-Aqsa Hospital, was seen in a video recently condemning the aid drops.

“This is a humiliation,” he said, adding that “if you able to fly in by air and drop aid by air, you are able to break the siege … by way of the land crossing.”

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza

The Israeli government knows how much food is needed in Gaza. It has been calibrating hunger levels for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert pressure while avoiding #Starvation

Downing Street has urged people not to take part in a protest in support of the banned group Palestine Action as police warned they would arrest anyone breaking terrorism laws.

Palestine Action has been banned under terrorism laws, and this weekend a large event protesting against its proscription has been organised by the group Defend Our Juries.

We really don't know the extent of Gaza #genocide since there is no government in #Gaza to register the dead or missing any more.

Only when Israeli occupation ends, we will be able to find out the real number of people murdered by #Israel in the past 21 months, and the number is much much larger than the official (verified) 60000.

Will that change the minds of the world about the evil that exist in psyche of the people in Israel who justify and defend this?

The Palestinian Statehood Drive Is a Despicable Sham

Western countries are rushing to recognize Palestine not to stop genocide but to solve a political problem. They’re offering colonial lies dressed up as liberation.
