Israel Genocide in Gaza - 2023 to present - Part ll

but a distant prospect for now.

Israel carried out 93 attacks on Gaza in past 24 hours: Media Office

Gaza’s Government Media Office says at least 70 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s assault on the territory in the past 24 hours, including 47 people killed in Gaza City alone.

The office said the 93 Israeli air and artillery raids carried out during that time frame have targeted densely populated civilian areas, as well as displaced Palestinians, across the Strip.

“This new crime falls within the framework of the ongoing genocide against our Palestinian people, and confirms that the occupation is ignoring all international calls for calm, and insists on continuing the systematic killing of civilians and the destruction of the foundations of life in the Gaza Strip,” it said.

It also urged the Trump administration and the international community to take “serious, effective and urgent action” to stop Israel’s bombardment.

so this is the initial withdrawal line. doesn't include Rafah. Hamas is going to give up all the prisoners for this. then when and what guarantees Israel will go to the second stage withdrawal line?


The Israeli enemy is carrying out wholescale massacres on the civilian population. This evil, psychopathic enemy is using food, water, and medicine as a weapon in addition to massacres against the defenseless population, and don't care about their own dozen hostages. As a matter fact, they're using the hostages as a justification to continue the genocide.

The problem here is the rest of the Arab and Muslim world are looking at the other way and not lifting a finger. And with such background, Hamas and other Palestinian factions are justified to explore other options and see if this genocide can be averted for what is left of Gaza.

The problem lies in leadership. What can the average citizen do? Beyond protest, or fundraise or volunteer work?

Its not like Joe Public can jump in a F16 and fly it to Gaza?
 

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags​

Exclusive: Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

The environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg has told Swedish officials she is being subjected to harsh treatment in Israeli custody after her detention and removal from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian.

According to the correspondence, Israeli forces are also reported by another detainee to have taken photographs where Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold flags. The identity of the flags are unknown.


In an email sent by the Swedish foreign ministry to people close to Thunberg, and seen by the Guardian, an official who has visited the activist in prison said she claimed she was detained in a cell infested with bedbugs, with too little food and water.

“The embassy has been able to meet with Greta,” reads the email. “She informed of dehydration. She has received insufficient amounts of both water and food. She also stated that she had developed rashes which she suspects were caused by bedbugs. She spoke of harsh treatment and said she had been sitting for long periods on hard surfaces.”


“Another detainee reportedly told another embassy that they had seen her [Thunberg] being forced to hold flags while pictures were taken. She wondered whether images of her had been distributed,” the Swedish ministry’s official added.

The allegation was corroborated by at least two other members of the flotilla who had been detained by Israeli forces and released on Saturday.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.

Lorenzo D’Agostino, a journalist and another flotilla participant, said after returning to Istanbul that Thunberg was “wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy” – a scene described with disbelief and anger by those who witnessed it.

Thunberg is among 437 activists, parliamentarians and lawyers who were part of the Global Sumud flotilla, a coalition of more than 40 vessels carrying humanitarian aid whose goal was to breach Israel’s 16-year maritime blockade of Gaza.

Between Thursday and Friday, Israeli forces intercepted all the boats and arrested every crew member onboard. Most of them are being held at Ketziot, also known as Ansar III, a high-security prison in the Negev desert used primarily to detain Palestinian security prisoners, many of whom Israel accuses of involvement in militant or terrorist activities.


In the past, activists detained by Israel were not criminally prosecuted and instead their presence was treated as an immigration matter.

According to lawyers from the NGO Adalah, the rights of the crew members have been “systematically violated”, activists denied water, sanitation, medication and immediate access to their legal representatives “in clear breach of their fundamental rights to due process, impartial trial and legal representation”.

The Italian legal team representing the flotilla confirmed those detained were left “for hours without food or water – until late last night”, with the exception of “a packet of crisps handed to Greta and shown to the cameras”. Lawyers also reported instances of verbal and physical abuse.

During a visit to Ashdod on Thursday night, Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was filmed calling the activists “terrorists” as he stood in front of them.

“These are the terrorists of the flotilla,” he said, speaking in Hebrew and pointing at dozens of people sitting on the ground. His spokesperson confirmed the video was filmed at Ashdod port on Thursday night.

Some activists were heard shouting: “Free Palestine.”

Ben-Gvir has previously called for the activists to be jailed rather than deported.

After their arrest, the flotilla’s legal team expressed concern over the treatment the crew members might face, particularly those who had previously been detained by Israeli authorities after attempts to break Gaza’s naval blockade. This marks the second time Thunberg has been arrested alongside other flotilla members, after a similar attempt earlier this year ended with the activists’ arrest and deportation.

Baptiste André, a French doctor who was on one of the boats of the flotilla in June, told reporters upon his return to France that he witnessed Israeli border agents mock and deliberately deprive passengers of sleep, in particular Thunberg.

The Swedish official said in the email that Thunberg was asked by Israeli authorities to sign a document.

“She expressed uncertainty about what the document meant and did not want to sign anything she did not understand,” reads the email. The Swedish ministry’s official wrote that Thunberg has had access to legal counsel.

Adalah said in an earlier statement about the legal process that although Israeli authorities would have a record of repeat participants in aid flotillas, activists, such as Thunberg, were generally treated in the same way as first-time participants, subject to short-term detention and deportation.

The Guardian contacted the Israel Prison Service, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli ministry for foreign affairs but none have yet responded to a request for comment.


The Swedish foreign ministry said its embassy officials had visited nine detained Swedes on Friday: “The Swedish embassy in Tel Aviv remains in contact with Israeli authorities to stress the importance of swift processing and the possibility of returning home to Sweden. Based on discussions with detained individuals, the importance of addressing individual medical needs was also emphasised.

“Moreover, the embassy stressed that food and clean water must be provided immediately, and that all detainees must be given access to Israeli legal counsel, if desired.”

The Israeli embassy said the allegations were “complete lies”. “All detainees from the Hamas-Sumud provocation were given access to water, food and toilets; they were not denied access to legal counsel, and all their legal rights, including access to medical care, were fully upheld.

“Israel is and will remain a state governed by the rule of law, committed to upholding the rights and dignity of all individuals in accordance with international standards,” it said.
 
You can’t blame for trying and kudos to her really but the only way this blockade could have been broken is with hundreds of ships coming from all sitting monitored in international waters watching for Israeli attacks etc with hundreds of ships they could have at least reached Gaza even if it was just a dozen it would have been mostly symbolic those ships aren’t made to carry tons of goods but the look on the idf faces would have been priceless

Well said brother. We ask for relief for people of Gaza as soon as possible.

Hamas will dissolve itself as a political movement for sake of greater good just like Hassan gave up power to Muwaiyah for what he saw as greater good for Ummah.

Hamas will remain as a small defensive , and strictly defensive movement for Gaza and it's people. And will cut off ties with all parties after it dissolves itself.

Where Arab and Muslim world go from there, I do not know. Let's push for statehood and end the conflict. Palestinians will always retain the right to posses defensive arms especially when being occupied by a genocidal terrorist society and people.

Hamas need to put aside 'كرامة وعزة ' . Don't fight for that anymore. Despite how desperate Arab situation may be. عز is for Allah alone and only. And his Prophet.

It's not for us. We don't create it not suistain it. And especially don't fight for it after those telling us to fight for its sake did not help us in our fight.

غزة العزة title needs to die. Because that's for Allah only not for Gaza.

Don't burden yourself for more than what you can take on. Suistaincne of Islam/ Honor/Dignity is in God's hands and greater Ummah not in Hamas's hands.

Hamas officials must stop talking about it 'عزة'.
