GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS CONTINUES FOR THE 204TH DAY AS ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES BOMB MORE CIVILIAN HOMES

On the 204th day of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 4 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of 32 civilians, mostly women and children, while another 69 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that Gaza's Ministry of Health, along with the entirety of the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip, have been pummeled by the Israeli occupation's aggression, causing extensive damage to the systems of monitoring the deaths of Palestinians in the Israeli genocide, and are no longer capable of keeping an accurate tally of the number of civilians killed.

Many of those killed in Israeli airstrikes remain buried under the rubble and are unable to be recovered due to continued Zionist aggression, which, along with extensive damage to local infrastructure, has left the official tally of Palestinians killed grossly undercounted.

Meanwhile, in the United States, protests continue on University campuses across the country, with tens of thousands of students demonstrating to call for divestment and sanctions against the Israeli entity.

In response to these protests, two American Congressman, one Democrat and one Republican, have introduced a bipartisan bill to force colleges to allow supervision by an official "antisemitism" monitor on campus.

The official name for the bill is "COLOMBIA" (College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability) Act.

Colleges which are accused of "allowing antisemitism to fester" would have a monitor appointed by the Secretary of Education who would supervise actions taken by universities to tamp down "antisemitic" sentiments.

"Failure to comply the monitorship would result in a loss of Federal funds," a press release by the offices of Congressmember Ritchie Torres, a cosponsor of the bill, said.

The second cosponsor of the COLOMBIA protest-suppression bill is Rockland County Republican, Mike Lawler of New York.

In further news from Gaza, the Ministry of Health made an announcement on Saturday stating that all of the citizens of the Gaza Strip are drinking unsafe water, putting the Palestinian population at risk of disease and death.

The Ministry pointed out that the public health laboratory has long been shut down due to the Zionist aggression, and the ministry remains incapable of examining drinking water in the Gaza Strip.

The Ministry also slammed the Israeli occupation's blocking of chlorine from entering the enclave, leaving the Health Ministry unable to treat drinking water in Gaza, forcing the entire civilian population to drink unsafe water and putting their lives at risk.

Gaza's Ministry of Health also said the suffering of Gaza's population is compounded by the difficulty of obtaining water following the Israeli occupation's destruction of Gaza's desalinization plants.

In Beit Lahiya for instance, in the northern Gaza Strip, the city's mayor, Alaa Al-Attar, reported that the Israeli occupation army has destroyed 70% of water wells in the city, along with 50% of the city's sewage pumps, and has destroyed more than 80km of water and sewage networks, resulting in a humanitarian catastrophe for the local population.

In further tragic news, an infant who's life was saved after being removed from her mother's womb her death in an Israeli airstrike, has died herself from complications.

According to several reports in the local Palestinian media, as well as an Al-Jazeera report, the infant baby, named Sabreen al-Rouh Jouda, was rescued from her mother's womb after an Israeli airstrike hit their home, killing the unborn child's entire family, including her mother who carried her at the time, along with her father, and her young sister.

The infant Rouh died in hospital on Thursday and was buried with the rest of her family in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the massacre of civilians in Gaza continues unabated, with airstrikes and artillery shelling targeting residential homes and buildings across the northern, central and southern Gaza Strip, resulting in dozens of casualties over the last day.

In Gaza's north, Zionist gunboats fired live bullets from heavy machine-guns towards the fisherman's port of Gaza City, while at the same time shelling the outskirts of the Al-Shati Refugee Camp with artillery.

In another gruesome massacre, Zionist warplanes bombed near the Faisal School in the Japanese neighborhood of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing three Palestinian civilians and wounding a number of others.

Similarly, occupation fighter jets bombed the Sawarha area, west of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, martyring two civilians and wounding several others.

The slaughter of Palestinians continued with another Zionist airstrike targeting a civilian house in Rafah City, in the south of Gaza, killing at least 6 civilians.

That strike was immediately followed by two more airstrikes on residential homes in Rafah, resulting in the deaths of 8 more civilians, mostly women and children, and wounding dozens of others.

In yet another tragedy, Zionist occupation forces destroyed a residential home in the al-Sultan neighborhood of the Nuseirat Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, leading to the death of 4 civilians, including a baby girl.

Elsewhere, Zionist warplanes bombed yet another inhabited residential building, also in the Nuseirat Camp, killing 4 citizens and wounding at least 30 others.

The occupation army continued its terror with the launch of repeated firebelts targeting the Al-Mughraqa area of central Gaza, while Gaza City in the north was hammered with a multitude of airstrikes, several of which focused on the Shuja'iyya neighborhood where three residential homes were targeted.

The Zionist army also obliterated a house in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, killing 3 civilians, including a woman and her child.

Previously, an occupation airstrike that targeted a residential building belonging to the Shawa family, housing displaced civilians, was scoured by Civil Defense crews who managed to recover the bodies of three civilians, including a child, while several others who were wounded were taken to Al-Ahli Arab National Hospital.

Zionist warplanes also heavily bombed the Al-Zawayda area of central Gaza, targeting civilian homes in multiple intense raids, killing a Palestinian civilian and wounding a number of others.

A multitude of civilians were also wounded following occupation artillery shelling which targeted agricultural lands in the Sawarha area, west of the Nuseirat Camp, while occupation fighter jets continue firing firebelts to the northwest of Khan Yunis, in Gaza's south.

Occupation aircraft similarly targeted residential buildings in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

As a result of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the current death toll among the local population has surged yet again, now exceeding 34,388 Palestinians killed, including over 14'690 children and 9'680 women, while another 77'437 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

Israeli Pilots Who Bombed Hospitals In Gaza Identified

Reports on the Israeli pilots involved in the airstrikes that targeted hospitals and civilians in Gaza have been published by Nournews.

Tal Zahavi, pictured on the left, boasting over 23 years in the Israeli Air Force, has been involved in air operations against civilians in Gaza for the past 73 days, including the bombing of Deir al-Balah’s residential areas on October 19 and November 7, and the bombing of Rafah on October 26 and December 12, leading to the tragic killing of at least 675 Palestinians, including 230 children.

Guy Isaac Alon, pictured on the right, has also been actively involved in the last 73 days, participating in the bombing of two hospitals, namely Gaza’s Baptist Hospital and Al-Shifa Hospital. He also played a role in the bombing of six mosques, Al Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, as well as other densely populated civilian areas, resulting in the tragic killing of at least 500 Palestinians, including 165 children.

The Israel-Arab Conflict isn't Complex

1. 99.7% of MENA (Middle-East & N. Africa) is controlled by one religion, which has ethnically cleansed nearly all others.

2. The conflict is not about land, it's about jihad, which is ethnic cleansing + conquest.

3. Together jihadists + leftists have created a weaponized narrative framework of lies.

4. In reality, Arabs colonized Judea and ethnically cleansed nearly the entire MENA region, where they continue to persecute minorities. They often project their faults on their victims.

5. To be clear, the last thing jihadists want is a new state or new national identity -- they have over 50 already. By their own voices, they want the submission of all others.

6. The left's unholy alliance with jihadists is based on shared values of antisemitism and authoritarianism. Both groups wish to impose their values forcefully on others. Both create webs of rhetoric and grievances to excuse any actions, even the most despicable imaginable which go against any modern values.

7. The only solution is to unravel the threads of hate everywhere we can. We must exorcise antisemitism from our own society, which was deeply embedded in it by the Romans, who created a state religion institutionalizing it.

8. Hate must be completely disassembled from Israel's territories as well, for there to be peace in the region. Globally, we must support moderates and reject extremism.

9. The West must humbly open its mind and realize it hasn't lived up to its own values. It's been deeply programmed to demonize Jews for 1700 years. This hate indoctrination extremely clouds the West's judgements about Israel. Ideas have power.

10. The West is broken when it comes to Jews. Its ideas do not work at all, its obsession is highly neurotic and toxic. Extremism and hate need to be resolved everywhere.

11. The reason Western society is cherished is due to its hard fought for moral values. We must abide by these values if we want our civilization to continue and evolve. We must not fall into depravity. We must intensely guard our virtues!

Being a Jew or a Muslim in the world has gotten much scarier in the past month, and the number of takes being normalized on the Internet that are actually just blatant hatred of Jewish and/or Muslim people is deeply worrying, so here's a list of clarifications about the Israel–Palestine conflict:

The Jewish people have a right to exist in the land of Israel. The Jewish people trace our history in the region back thousands of years, and there has been a continuous Jewish presence in Israel since the Bronze Age.

The Palestinian people have a right to exist in the land of Israel. They have existed in this region, on his land, for hundreds of years.

Claiming one people has the right to exist here but the other people does not means you hate that group of people. If you believe Palestinians have the right to an autonomous state in the land of Israel but the Jews do not, you are a Jew-hating antisemite. If you believe the Jews have a right to an autonomous state in the land of Israel but the Palestinians do not, you hate Palestinians.

Zionism is the ideology that the Jewish people have the right to build a national homeland in the land of Israel. Since the foundation of Israel, being a zionist purely means you believe that Israel has the right to exist. As such, being “anti-zionist” makes you antisemitic.

The Jewish people did not colonize the land of Israel, like, ever. There has been a continuous Jewish presence in the land of Israel for thousands of years, and the major waves of immigration to Israel - called the Aliyot - were during the Ottoman and British occupation of the Levant.

Saying “the Jews are all white European colonizers” is deeply misinformed, antisemitic, and racist. There are Jews - many of whom live in Israel - from Egypt, Iraq, Morocco, Sudan, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Georgia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and most of the rest of the Middle East & north Africa.

Wait but why are there so many "white" (Ashkenazi) Jews in Israel and around the world? Well in 1933 there were 9.5 million Jews living in Europe. In the years 1933–1945, the Nazis genocided 6 million of them. Currently the Jewish population of Europe is around 1.3 million, and today there are still half a million fewer Jews than there were before the Holocaust. Most of the Ashkenazi survivors of the Holocaust immigrated to Israel, and many others immigrated to countries like the US.

Following the 1948 Israel–Palestine war, roughly 700,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes. In the years before and after the war, 900,000 Jews were expelled from various Muslim countries.

I'm going to continue to reblog this post with more clarifications about the I/P conflict. Feel free to reblog w/ stuff you wanted to add, and feel free to send me questions/comments in my asks. Stay safe everyone ❤️

The following is something that hardly any "pro-Palestine" agitator is capable of

*Ahem*

Israel has done alot of objectively wrong things over the course of its history with Palestine, and that didn't magically go away in the past decade. It is a thoroughly paranoid state, and no matter how much that paranoia is justified by the existence of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran it's no excuse for violating the civil rights of detainees, even if they're provably guilty of whatever crimes they've been accused of. Israel's air strikes in the current war have been too zealous, and there must be a certain point at which it would actually be less harmful in terms of civilian casualties to just send in the IDF on foot, and because of how utterly outmatched Hamas will be against professional soldiers, I feel as though that risk to the IDF ought to be taken for the sake of the innocent civilians who might be saved by it. Hamas isn't going to protect them by virtue of it being filled with genocidal monsters, and thus although it's unfair the onus is on Israel to do the job that the force that governs Gaza refuses to, or at least to try to.

See all of that? That was me being able to perceive and acknowledge reality even when it makes my side look bad. Because I see this war as a war, not a justification to start wishing death on millions. I see these civilians who've died for no reason as just that, instead of deserving of their fate for the crime of being born in the wrong country/to a family of the wrong faith or ethnicity. And I have the most basic of moral sensibilities to be able to look with that sight at all sides of a situation, and not just the ones that it's convenient to look at. But one thing I haven't seen is very many "pro-Palestine" people being able to admit to the observable reality of things like hostage taking, use of human shield tactics, and the fact that Hamas's charter brings up the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion as if it were true. It's really sad that the last one has had to become my armor-piercing round, or rather sad that that's armor-piercing to their arguments and "Hamas are actively trying to commit genocide" isn't. But I guess that's just what it means to be a "progressive" these days.

A dog and a young girl were seen comforting each other at a refugee camp in Gaza. She’s one of the nearly 1 million Palestinian children now displaced due to Israel’s war on Gaza. Facing violence, hunger, and insurmountable loss, she does not have much. But in this moment, she has a friend. 14/10 (Video from @eye.on.palestine.

YaAllah, the amount of evil is truly unbearable 💔. I have no more words. I have no sympathy for anyone who is on their side or neutral. I am done reasoning and arguing with people who support them. Anyone who turns a blind eye to this will answer. Be it to God or whoever you believe in. If you are silent for whatever reason or stance you may have. Remember, this is on your hands as much as it is theirs.

You can't say you didn't know or you didn't have the full story. And you can not say your leaders didn't know. Or your favorite celebrities.

[protectpalestine]

the state of the world is wretched. lets all just encourage Israel killing humans and munch on popcorn while watching pieces of bodies being unravelled from the rubble and a dad looking for a safe place to keep his daughter's dead body all the while suffocating the people oppressed for 74 years or more whilst asking them only one question, "Do you condemn H4m4s?" because nothing else is more important to them while they are fighting to stay alive and Save their homes than focusing on whether they should condemn the people that finally defended them against the decades old oppression or not. it makes me sick. the only 'humane' humans right now are the Palestinians and the yemenis who are trying to protect them and the people who defend them
