"Did Sharabi's Israeli government handlers – led by Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN – forget to explain to him that Israel has formally banned the UN from Gaza? Israel both bars the UN from the enclave, specifically targeting local staff with its weapons, and yet also expects those same staff to track down the Israeli captives held there. How can one even begin to take Israel’s position – or Sharabi’s – seriously?"

Jonathan Cook · 'Where was the UN?' asks freed Israeli captive. Its staff were busy being killedBy Jonathan Cook

“No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you *now*. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience.” One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad #books #literature #gaza #genocide #occupation #palestine

Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on Thursday targeting areas in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, as well as in the south, violating an already fragile ceasefire in place since late November 2024.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in the Bekaa reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted the outskirts of Shmestar, west of the city of Baalbek.

The Israeli occupation military also struck the highlands surrounding the Lebanese town of Nabi Sheet.

Fascinating discussion I heard just now on i24News about Bibi seeking to get rid of the head of Shin Bet as Shin Bet is investigating corruption of Bibi. A good reason to fire the guy is the failure to raise the alarm about the imminence of the Oct. 7 massacre, and the counter argument is that they did but was ignored....and to this I'll add that I heard of a member notifying superiors and it was the superiors who ignored her.

Of course Israel's constituents blame Bibi for the failure. Well, an additional issue raised was how Bibi was attempting the removal without following Israel law's prescribed process. I'll bet that sounds familiar.

In late April 2024, a mob attacked a pro-Palestinian student encampment at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Police and campus security stood by and watched the assault for nearly five hours before intervening.

Pleas to university officials went nowhere. And the next day police returned, only to violently and unlawfully clear the encampment and arrest protesters.

Israeli officials say that the country was given permission by the Trump administration to attack Gaza. “All those who seek to terrorize not just Israel but also the United States of America, will see a price to pay,” said White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt on Fox News. “All hell will break loose.”

Just two weeks before the bombing, Trump publicly demanded that Hamas release all the hostages or face annihilation.

Mondoweiss · The Shift: Trump’s war crimesIsrael officials say that the Trump administration gave them the “green light” to break the ceasefire and resume attacks on Gaza. And recent U.S. war crimes haven’t been limited to Palestine.

An investigation was launched after a UN staffer was killed during an explosion at two UN guest houses in the Gaza Strip, a UN official said Thursday.

"The UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS) today confirmed the death of Marin Valev Marinov, age 51, from Bulgaria, who died yesterday when two UN guest houses were hit by an explosion in Deir Al Balah, central Gaza," deputy spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters.
