Jesus fucking Christ.
Nutjob Israeli right-wingers today are blocking aid trucks on their way to Gaza by placing their babies on the highway. They are willing to risk their children to stop Palestinian children from being fed.

🚨Heart wrenching: Youssef, a nine year old boy, sits by a small fire made from scraps of paper. With quiet sorrow, he says, “My uncle and his son were killed.” In a heartbreaking moment, he expresses a simple wish not for safety, toys, or comfort, but: “I want to eat fruits and chicken.” His words reflect the unbearable reality of Gaza’s children enduring both hunger and loss under ongoing Israeli bombardment.

David Drainman & his band Disturbed are set to play the @3ArenaDublin on Oct 22nd. Here he is signing IOF bombs to maim & murder innocent Palestinian men, women, & children. We do not want this vile, repulsive shithead anywhere near our capital. Shame on you @mcd_productions

⚡️🇮🇱Israel’s Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich: "We conquer, cleanse, and stay... On the way, we annihilate everything that still remains.….We're breaking Gaza apart, leaving it as a pile of rubble, total unprecedented destruction."

❗️Mohammad Zakaria Al-Mutawwaq, just one and a half years old, is suffering from severe toxic malnutrition, one of the worst medical conditions brought on by the Israeli occupation’s total blockade and the US-Israeli engineered famine. Before the genocide began, Mohammad was a healthy, smiling child with normal weight. Now, his body has withered to just 6 kilograms. His mother, Hidaya Al-Mutawwaq, says getting him milk is nearly impossible. Diapers, clothes, even a mattress or pillow are unavailable. They are living in a borrowed tent with nothing of their own. All she wishes for is a small mattress and a pillow so her child can raise his head and rest like any baby should. To contact the family: 0097259-7314279 – Hidaya Al-Mutawwaq, mother of the child Source: a. j. press (IG)

The desperation caused by a lack of food and other necessities of life is forcing Palestinians to approach GHF sites and humanitarian convoys, even though between 27 May and 21 July, 1,054 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military in Gaza while trying to access food. Of these, 766 were killed in the vicinity of GHF sites and 288 around UN and other aid convoys. #Gaza Read the full statement 👇 reliefweb.int/node/4166456

🚨BREAKING | The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation @GHFUpdates proposes a plan for building concentration camps within Gaza. The concentration camps will serve as precursor locations before Palestinians are ethnically cleansed and shipped off to different locations. This evil organization of terror needs to be dismantled and ended now.

❗️Just watched "Doctors Under Attack", the documentary that BBC tried to gag and Channel 4 and Zeteo later published. Over half of the documentary is clips stolen from Palestinians in Gaza without their permission. What publishing rights to these parties have over the genocide of our people? It's disgusting that they choose to delay its release and then finally put it behind a paywall.

"Iran doesn't have nukes. Israel does. Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn't. Iran has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country. Israel doesn't." But Israel's the victim? My video for Zeteo on how the media's coverage of this crisis is abysmally biased.

I don't know, Ursula, I think it might, in fact, be the state committing genocide and bombing Occupied Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran.

In Gaza, months of inadequate food and nourishment have left Osama, 5, severely malnourished. Even as he receives initial treatment, his full recovery depends on sufficient nutrition and follow-up care. Aid at scale must be allowed into Gaza for children's health and survival.

I just spoke again with the Flotilla, incl its Comm Room in Catania All looks calm and safe now. Speedboats watching; but the flotilla continues its sailing. It will be a long night. And as they say and we say, "we are together".
BREAKING!!! - 11:18PM UK time; I am with the flotilla online. They have just been reached by the Israel speedboats - 5 vessels circling the flotilla. The captain is instructing the team to stay calm and seated, with their passports and life jackets on. I hear them speaking with Israeli soldiers as I type... telling they are carrying humanitarian aid and go in peace. For the time being they are just circled. I am with them, recording everything.
