All the rape, torture, and murder will be brushed under the carpet, a great lesson for any future war criminals.

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gazaโ€™s list of war dead The childrenโ€™s names below appear on a list of victims of Israelโ€™s offensive in Gaza, maintained by health authorities in the territory. As of the end of July it ran to 60,199 names, of whom 18,457 were under 18s. Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the warโ€™s many indirect victims As of the end of July there were 18,457 children named on the long official list of Palestinian victims of Israelโ€™s war in Gaza. Over almost two years, that is equivalent to bombs, bullets and shells killing a boy or girl every hour of every day. In reality the deaths are not spaced out so evenly. Siblings, cousins and playmates are often killed together, by an airstrike or artillery shell. Even children shot by snipers or quadcopters are sometimes brought into hospitals in groups, doctors say. Continue reading...

The alternative to a "PR stunt" is to allow international reporters into Gaza to report facts. Israel still won't allow this - it has been 2 years.

UPDATE โ€” Israel has intercepted another boat on the Global Sumud Flotilla. They continue to intercept and board ships on the flotilla in international waters, preventing international peace volunteers from delivering aid to starving Palestinians

Inside the everyday Facebook networks where far-right ideas grow The Guardian spent a year studying an online community trading in anti-immigration sentiment and misinformation. Experts say such spaces can play a role in radicalisation

@hernandesraph.bsky.social , @porcelinad.bsky.social and I spent the better part of a year watching and analysing how far right ideology is shared in open Facebook groups: here is what we found: www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int... with immense help from Pablo Gutiรฉrrez, Garry Blight, Lydia McMullan

"The Israeli government will not allow international reporters into Gaza to do their work and to document freely what they see. International journalists must now be allowed into Gaza to share the burden with Palestinian reporters there so we can all bring the facts to the world."

As a journalist who has faced trolling, doxxing, death threats in the past 23 months of reporting on Gaza, I welcome these comments from Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary who says โ€œefforts to silence, bully and intimidate journalists will always be condemned by the union.โ€

What struck the Gaza Aid Flotilla? After we published the story, the Tunisian Ministry of Interior issued a statement describing the incident โ€œthat took place yesterdayโ€ as a โ€œpremeditated attackโ€ stating that an investigation had been launched.โ€

I spoke to the Reuters Institute about my last investigation into Israeli fire on Palestinian food seekers: โ€œIsrael has continued to block access to foreign journalists, which means that I have had to rely on visual evidence uploaded by civilians or Israeli soldiers."

Israeli airstrikes just hit the Syrian Ministry of Defence. That's the 4th capital of a neighbouring country it's bombed in 2 years: Iran, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. This is on top of the decimation of Gaza.
