Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Seeing a lot of spin on it around the traps so for those on here who are curious: No, the ICJ's provisional measures decision was in no way a win for Israel's position. It stopped short of ordering some more extensive measures that may or may not have been possible to put through and enforce, but as...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
I've been waiting to see if anything new would come out about the bombing of Jabaiya camp , but in the absence of anything further, it is very, very, very difficult to see how this can be construed to be anything other than a disproportionate strike. The mental element will be very hard to disprove ...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
The point of that would be to apply pressure on the sitting government by making noise - the same reason shadow ministers do anything at all. Unfortunately, it looks like the rhetoric of Nakba is intensifying. ...Titled "You wanted war, wait for the great Nakba," the Arabic-language leafle...

An Anti-Palestinian Crackdown Across Europe On Saturday, London held its biggest ever pro-Palestine march—one of the ten biggest demonstrations in British history—which drew between 100,000 and 300,000 people. “When the government and opposition are abandoning Palestinians, it’s important to show t...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Well, that's the tricky bit. The IDF has the responsibility to determine what is and is not unnecessary and disproportionate harm... but they don't have the sole right. It is, and will remain, a matter of facts and international consensus. Today, the communications blackout has escalated with the fi...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
B'Tselem has put out an excellent statement outlining their position regarding proportionality and the duty to avoid unnecessary harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure. This is particularly timely as is indicating that it intends to strike the Dar Al-Shifa hospital on the grounds that Hamas ...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
The issue of what happened and who did it at the hospital continues to get cloudier.
Unfortunately, it looks like it won't be the only hospital to be hit by the end, since the IDF's been bombing the shit out of areas immediately surrounding other facilities.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
There are already credible allegations emerging of prisoner abuse. The abuse lasted almost a whole day. Soldiers and settlers detained and handcuffed three Palestinians from the West Bank village Wadi as-Seeq, and for hours, according to the Palestinians, they were severely beaten, stripped to thei...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
The wording of flyers and voice messages received by the inhabitants of Gaza is being disputed by the IDF. Al Jazeera's claim (and that of a good number of others on the ground) is that it warns that anyone found in Gaza City will be presumed to be a terrorist, be likely to be designated a terrorist...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Under the cover of the war, the expansion of illegal settlements is intensifying.
Given the mass arrests and violence in the West Bank, I don't think we'll see any improvement on that front either.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
The hospital bombing continues to be contentious. Forensic Architecture are heavy hitters, so I don't know these can just be dismissed without a proper explanation.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Unless there is a reason to suspect that the American intelligence community is inflating the numbers, it seems that the Al-Ahli hospital blast did cause a lot of civilian deaths afterall. The US intelligence community assesses that there likely were between 100 to 300 people killed in the blast at...

Looks like the St. Porphyrius church has now been bombed. You may recall that on the 10th, there were a lot of false claims it had been. This time, it looks like its actually happened. Unfortunately, it was also full of refugees seeking shelter. THE PATRIARCHATE OF JERUSALEM CONDEMNS ISRAELI AIRSTRI...

What's your point, Shep? I don't think anyone is disputing that the hospital bombing killed a fuckton of people, and I don't think anyone there is trying to claim that they just happened to land that way.

For those wondering - no, the warnings do not provide an effective shield for large-scale civilian casualties. Where civilian populations are unable to or unwilling to exit a conflict zone, the armed parties still have a paramount duty to minimize the amount of harm that comes to both protected inf...

Not everyone who commits a racially motivated murder is mentally ill, and I don't think we need to find excuses for those who listen to propaganda and decide to enact violence. Anti-Muslim racism is at a fever pitch in media, and we need to accept that those who act on it are, with very rare excepti...

Now a few days old but I was unaware it had been picked up by Haaretz and didn't want to post what seemed liked a sketchy twitter claim. Al-Jazeera's also got video now which I also hadn't seen, for those who speak the language. One of the new ministers of the unity government has stated that the s...
