Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
Strange that the tick boxers (aka the Independent thinkers) who have so much to say for themselves about Ukraine, have stayed so quiet about the Gaza situation. The last post I could find from one of them was four months ago in which Trump was credited with the first ceasefire to Biden’s exclusion.Comment

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
I think Netanyahu and his circle are impervious to outside criticism now. Along with the statement yesterday from Britain, France and Canada. There's also some pretty strong criticism from within Israel from the likes of olmert, barak and Yair Golan amongst others. Bibi has lost the plot and appears to be being led by the real scumbags on the extreme far right, he needs to go.
In other news, Looks like the Lebanese are trying to disarm the Palestinian terror groups in the camps in Beirut. Can't see that going well!Comment

Starmer and Lammy sound genuinely angry at Israel
The question is - why has it taken so long? The atrocities have been going on for 18 months or more.Comment

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
We conclude that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, including mass killing, arbitrary detention and torture, meets the legal threshold for the term
by Sandra L Babcock, Susan M Akram, Thomas Becker and James Cavallaro, The Guardian
We are university professors and human rights advocates who teach and write about Palestine and Israel. We have collectively taught thousands of classes on human rights law, international law and government repression. We have defended death row prisoners in Malawi, documented forced labor in Brazil, helped women seeking gender equality in Burma, chronicled the struggle of the Sahrawi people for self-determination in Western Sahara, and advocated on behalf of families of disappeared immigrants in the United States. As human rights defenders, our job is to expose government abuses of power where we find them. And that includes Israel.
It has never been easy for scholars in the United States to publicly criticize Israel. Now, anyone who does so risks professional suicide. The Trump administration deliberately conflates criticism of the government of Israel with antisemitism and has pressured universities to discipline students and fire faculty who express concern over the slaughter of Palestinians. This has chilled speech on our campuses and is a direct assault on academic freedom. It is also an attempt to stamp out all opposition to US foreign policy with respect to Israel.
Israel has now killed more than 52,000 Palestinians in its attack on Gaza, an estimated 15,000 of whom are children. In 2024, we co-authored a report concluding that Israel’s actions met the international definition of genocide. On Thursday, we issued a second report finding that Israel has also engaged in acts of apartheid against the Palestinian population.
While most people associate apartheid with South Africa, the definition of apartheid – considered a crime against humanity – encompasses inhuman acts of racial subjugation and systematic oppression anywhere in the world. We concluded that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, which includes mass killing, arbitrary detention, torture, and the imposition of a legal regime that provides far less due process than that provided to Israelis living in the same territory, meets the legal threshold of apartheid as defined by the 1973 United Nations International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid.
We are not the first to reach this conclusion. Last year, the international court of justice determined that Israel is violating the international prohibition on racial segregation and apartheid, while Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Israel’s leading human rights organization, B’Tselem, have each independently found Israel’s laws and policies meet the legal definition of apartheid. Our report details the findings of these groups as well as the dozens of others that indicate there is global consensus that Israel is responsible for this crime against humanity. Additionally, we highlight the obligations of the international community, the Trump administration, and universities, including the ones where we are based, not to bolster Israel’s illegal actions.Comment

'Israel’s Revenge Against Palestinian Prisoners'
Thousands have been left with injuries including broken bones and 68 have died since October 7th 2023, the majority almost certainly from the beatings, withdrawal of medical treatment, atrocious conditions and starvation as well as other forms of torture that have been deployed.
We must never forget that several thousands have been incarcerated under “administrative detention” which means there have been no charges and no due process. These are hostages too.Comment

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
An Israeli air strike on Gaza hit the home of a doctor and killed nine of her 10 children, the hospital where she works in the city of Khan Younis says.
Nasser hospital said one of Dr Alaa al-Najjar's children and her husband were injured, but survived. Graeme Groom, a British surgeon working in the hospital, said he had operated on her surviving 11-year-old boy.
A video shared by the director of the Hamas-run health ministry and verified by the BBC showed small burned bodies being lifted from the rubble of a strike in Khan Younis on Friday.

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The only times the Palestinian man wasn’t bound or blindfolded, he said, was when he was used by Israeli soldiers as their human shield.
Dressed in army fatigues with a camera fixed to his forehead, Ayman Abu Hamadan was forced into houses in the Gaza Strip to make sure they were clear of bombs and gunmen, he said. When one unit finished with him, he was passed to the next.
“They beat me and told me: ‘You have no other option; do this or we’ll kill you,’” the 36-year-old told The Associated Press, describing the 2 1/2 weeks he was held last summer by the Israeli military in northern Gaza.
Orders often came from the top, and at times nearly every platoon used a Palestinian to clear locations, said an Israeli officer, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.
Several Palestinians and soldiers told the AP that Israeli troops are systematically forcing Palestinians to act as human shields in Gaza, sending them into buildings and tunnels to check for explosives or militants. The dangerous practice has become ubiquitous during 19 months of war, they said.
The AP spoke with seven Palestinians who described being used as shields in Gaza and the occupied West Bank and with two members of Israel’s military who said they engaged in the practice, which is prohibited by international law. Rights groups are ringing the alarm, saying it’s become standard procedure increasingly used in the war.
“These are not isolated accounts; they point to a systemic failure and a horrifying moral collapse,” said Nadav Weiman, executive director of Breaking the Silence — a whistleblower group of former Israeli soldiers that has collected testimonies about the practice from within the military. “Israel rightly condemns Hamas for using civilians as human shields, but our own soldiers describe doing the very same.”
