The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza Israel controls the flow of food into Gaza. It has calculated how many calories Palestinians need to stay alive. Its data shows only a fraction has been allowed in

"Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert pressure while avoiding starvation"

From a viewing platform in Israel, observers watch Gaza’s destruction through binoculars While children starve, tour groups at a viewing point in Sderot pay to view the smoke-filled ruins of the enclave

When Omer Bartov, Prof of Holocaust and Genocide Studies, heard what the journalist saw and heard in Sderot, he said it reminded him “of what the Germans called in World War II ‘execution tourism’, ie touring and photographing (as souvenirs) one’s own atrocities”.

Is it a genocide ? Yes, according to Israel’s leading human rights NGOs.

Israeli human rights NGOs urge world leaders "to use every means available under international law to stop Israel’s #genocide against the Palestinians"

Georges Abdallah was imprisoned at the age of 33 years-old and now leaves as an old man, of 74 years-old. The general concern now is that Israel will assassinate him in Lebanon. 4/4

One of his requests almost succeded, more than 10 years ago.

In 2013, then-US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote to the French gov expressing the hope that it could find a "way to contest the legality" of a court decision to free Abdallah. The message was published by WikiLeaks. 2/4

Georges Abdallah is set to arrive today in Beirut, Lebanon, after 41 years in prison. He was one of France's longest-held prisoners.

His requests for release were repeatedly denied under pressure from US and Israeli governments.

A ceremony is planned tomorrow in the Lebaneee capital. 1/4

Cet appel de la société des journalistes de l’AFP sur la situation de Gaza… « Depuis que l’AFP a été fondée, nous avons perdu des journalistes dans des conflits, nous avons eu des blessés et des prisonniers (…), mais aucun de nous n’a le souvenir d’avoir vu un collaborateur mourir de faim ».

1) Lots on social media re sexual assault stats in Europe. Natl attitudes play big role in willingness to report. 2024 Eurobarometer study presents disturbing figures on attitudes to e.g. sexual violence, consent, rape in EU27. Clear differences between men and women & across countries.

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

Chilling article. Pregnant persons and medical staff in the US face charges not only through abortion laws, but also child neglect or endangerment.

In additon, "more than 90 percent of cases involved statutes that don’t require authorities to prove that any harm was done to a fetus or baby."
