Have a quiet think. Let it be a guiding lesson for you

Whatever regretful comments you may have made in your life, whatever actions you wish you could take back, let your benchmark for the lowest of the low be using the deaths of 15 people for the relaunch of your political career

The #GazaGenocide never stopped.
The ‘ceasefire’ was an excuse for the world to pretend it had.

While Israel continues its crimes against humanity with even greater impunity.

🟡 Despite a ceasefire announced 2 months ago, child malnutrition in Gaza remains at crisis levels. UNICEF says 9,300 children were hospitalized for severe acute malnutrition in Oct, down from a peak of 14,000 in Aug, but still far higher than during the Feb–Mar ceasefire. 8,300 pregnant and...
of 14,000 in August, but still far higher than during the February–March ceasefire. 8,300 pregnant and breastfeeding women were also hospitalized for acute malnutrition that month. ▪️UNICEF spokesperson Tess Ingram warns the impact will persist for years, with low-birth-weight babies expected for months to come. Aid groups say Israel continues to restrict shipments. In December, only 140 UN aid trucks per day entered Gaza on average, far below the 600-truck daily target set under the ceasefire. ▪️Out of 8 humanitarian convoys coordinated Sunday, only 4 were approved by Israeli authorities. While some commercial goods have entered, prices remain out of reach for most families, who have had no income for over two years. ▪️In parallel, pro-Israeli propagandists have circulated unverified videos claiming Hamas hid baby formula to cause malnutrition. These allegations ignore the reality that Israel cut off aid entirely for months, plunging Gaza into famine. Since March, Gaza received almost no aid until a trickle began in May along with the implementation of GHF death traps. Over 94% of the trickle of regular UN shipments were looted in this period because Israel dismantled security by assassinating police officers and aid security guards, and arming criminal gangs. Blaming Hamas for malnutrition in Gaza is a distraction from Israel’s prolonged blockade and ongoing restrictions. During the worst of the days of the hunger crisis in Gaza in the past six months, Hamas deliberately hid literal tons of infant formula and nutritional shakes for children by storing them in clandestine warehouses belonging to the Gaza Ministry of Health. The goal, as I said then, was to worsen the hunger crisis and initiate a disaster as part of the terror group’s famine narrative in a desperate effort to stop Israel’s onslaught against Gaza and force the return of the UN’s aid distribution mechanism, and away from the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Now, activists in the Strip are documenting the waste and deliberate disposal of tons of infant formula, nutritional children’s shake, and children’s powdered milk, which Hamas had hoarded away, given the saturation of the coastal enclave with humanitarian aid after the ceasefire two months ago. When countless other Palestinian activists and I from Gaza said this back in July, August, and September, we were villainized, attacked, threatened, and made into pariahs by the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex and activist mafias, even though for Gazans, the evidence was so clearly apparent before our eyes. What those in the West continue to fail to understand is that there is no being pro-Palestine without also having a serious vigilance against Hamas’s continued manipulation of international public opinion to hide behind the Strip's civilian When countless other Palestinian activists and I from Gaza said this back in July, August, and September, we were villainized, attacked, threatened, and made into pariahs by the “pro-Palestine” industrial complex and activist mafias, even though for Gazans, the evidence was so clearly apparent before our eyes. What those in the West continue to fail to understand is that there is no being pro-Palestine without also having a serious vigilance against Hamas’s continued manipulation of international public opinion to hide behind the Strip's civilian population's suffering, something that the terrorist organization’s own actions have led to and created. Never allow yourself to be a useful idiot in Hamas’s propaganda. You can have compassion for the real suffering of the Palestinian civilians of Gaza, and demand Israeli action to facilitate aid entry into the coastal enclave, while still holding Hamas accountable for its part in causing a hunger and starvation crisis in the first place.

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate documented 57 violations by Israeli forces against journalists in the West Bank and Gaza in November — including detentions, assaults, threats at gunpoint, destruction of equipment, and blocking coverage. A systematic escalation on press freedom.
A graphic from Quds News shows the number “57” in large red text with the caption: “Violations in November: Israeli Escalation Against Journalists in West Bank.” Below, a black-and-white photo shows armed Israeli soldiers and settlers, one aiming a weapon, near vehicles and concrete barriers.
