The bloc is a small part of the larger demonstration, several thousand people strong, calling to end the war and bring back the hostages. While the more mainstream protest is more nationalistic and militaristic, there too they are talking against the forced starvation

Some of us here in Israel are fighting against the war criminals running this country, and those participating in them. But we need help. We need people around the world to join the call for BDS and for governments to stop this genocide

‘Double tap’ airstrikes: How Israel targets Gaza rescue efforts

In the aftermath of bombings, the Israeli army routinely fires on Palestinian rescue workers to prevent them from saving the wounded.

Time and again Palestinians face distrust as they report Israel's war crimes, only to be vindicated when Israeli soldiers confess to the same crimes.
Back in December 23', we reported on the "double tap" attacks, illegal targeting of aid workers in Gaza

Gaza's rescue workers are haunted by those they couldn't save

Civil defense teams are working around the clock with minimal resources to help Palestinians trapped under the rubble. Too often, it’s a losing battle.

“One time, I saw people picking up clothes", says the soldier. "They were walking [...] to collect clothes from the rubble of a house. You could see that’s what they were doing — and they were shot.”

This has been happening multiple times, with zero accountability, and it is but one aspect of this genocidal campaign. We all must join the protests, the disruption, boycotts, divestments, sanctions, flotillas, measures in the Hauge. Whatever it takes to stop Israel's crimes

Every horror in the genocide in Gaza is revealed as just a prelude to an even more horrific one - the latest one being the repeated massacres of hundreds of starving Palestinians who walk for miles, risking their lives for the chance to get their families some food.

They also show zero solidarity with our colleagues in Gaza, at least 168 of whom have been killed by the Israeli army. Those journalists, facing bombardments, hunger and homelessness, are the true victims of Israel's attack on the press, and the true heroes of our time. 3/3

Yet alongside ongoing attacks on the free media inside of Israel by the government, the fact remains that the worst censorship in Israel is self-censorship. Powerful Jewish journalists, who face no real threat, continue to choose to betray their profession by lying about Gaza 2/3

The attack on Oscar winner Ballal Hamdan is getting global attention, even a comment from the WH, because of that little golden statue.
But settler violence, backed by the Israeli army, is the day-to-day reality in Masafer Yatta. This is what "No Other Land" is all about

Yuval Abraham about an attack on an Oscar winner:
A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.
