And the pushback.... to rejoin the genocide train.

As a young photojournalist living in Gaza, Fatima Hassouna knew that death was always at her doorstep. As she spent the past 18 months of war documenting airstrikes, the demolition of her home, the endless displacement and the killing of 11 family members, all she demanded was that she not be allowed to go quietly.
“If I die, I want a loud death,” Hassouna wrote on social media. “I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.”
On Wednesday, just days before her wedding, 25-year-old Hassouna was killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit her home in northern Gaza. Ten members of her family, including her pregnant sister, were also killed.

Gaza has been pushed to new depths of despair, civilians, medics and humanitarian workers say, by the unprecedented seven-week-long Israeli military blockade that has cut off all aid to the strip.
The siege has left the Palestinian territory facing conditions unmatched in severity since the beginning of the war as residents grapple with sweeping new evacuation orders, the renewed bombing of civilian infrastructure such as hospitals, and the exhaustion of food, fuel for generators and medical supplies.
Israel unilaterally abandoned a two-month ceasefire with Palestinian militant group Hamas on 2 March, cutting off vital supplies. Just over two weeks later, it resumed large-scale bombing and redeployed ground troops withdrawn during the truce.
Since then, political figures and security officials have repeatedly vowed that aid deliveries will not resume until Hamas releases the remaining hostages seized during the 7 October 2023 attacks that ignited the conflict. Israel’s government has framed the new siege as a security measure and has repeatedly denied using starvation as a weapon, which would constitute a war crime.
The blockade is now entering its eighth week, making it the longest continuous total siege the strip has faced to date in the 18-month war.
Firmly supported by the US, its most important ally under Donald Trump, Israel appears confident that it can maintain the siege with little international pushback.
It is also moving ahead with large-scale seizures of Palestinian land for security buffer zones, and plans to shift control of aid delivery to the army and private contractors, exacerbating fears in Gaza that Israel intends to maintain boots on the ground in the territory long-term and permanently displace its residents.
A lame PR exercise to minimise the damage until the world moves on and forgets.Quote:

Other, much more credible evidence, contradicts the IDF revised story.
If the phones hadn’t been found in the mass grave there wouldn’t even have been this mealy mouthed partial admission.
Arrests? Prosecutions? No - just one officer removed from post. That is normally code for re-deployed with no other consequences.
This was an atrocity.
Mistakes .....?Quote:

Nothing would have been said if they weren't sussed out
And of course now it has been exposed....nothing will be done
And people wonder why hamas exist and still have support ?
If that had happened to our loved ones we would be supporting resistance of some kind too
Failure ? That's so pathetic it's almost laughableQuote:

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has described an Israeli military report into a deadly attack on its paramedics as "full of lies".
The Israeli military said in its report that "professional failures" led to the killing of the 15 workers in Gaza. It dismissed the deputy commander of the unit involved.
A spokeswoman for the PRCS said the report was "invalid" as it "justifies and shifts the responsibility to a personal error in the field command when the truth is quite different".
There will never be an end to this 💔Quote:

I was 11 at the time of the Six Day War and my childishly simplistic view at the time was that Israel were the "goodies" abd the Arabs "the baddies". This had something to do with my looking in an Atlas and seeing the size of Israel compared to their enemies, but it would also have been influenced by the way the War was reported and, as I recall, it was more pro Israel than the reporting we see today. I think many of the attitudes which drive the "classical" USA/Israel relationship were formed around the time of the Six Days War and I'm hopeful that things might look a lot different in fifteen to twenty years time - that's hardly going to do Gaza any good though given what Israel appearing to be preparing to do now.
I hope they at least erect a huge plaque with the names of the many many innocents who have needlessly been slaughtered to facilitate the creation of the future Gaza Riviera project.Quote:
