This is genocidal from Israel. The apartheid state has forced the Palestinian people in Gaza into dire humanitarian circumstances through its over two years of genocide and denial of aid, medicine, shelter, water and all life essentials, this on top of its years long illegal siege 1/

NPR reported today that the overwhelming majority of the aid Israel is allowing into Gaza is *commercial.*
In other words, Israel is banning free food and shelter aid and only allowing in goods that Palestinians have to buy.
With money they don't have.

I know people talk a lot about Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, but at this point I believe that nothing short of sanctioning them back to the Stone Age is going to make Israel stop. They’ve descended into a murderous frenzy and show no capacity to pull themselves out of it.
Israel has announced the suspension of more than two dozen humanitarian organisations from working in Gaza, including Doctors Without Borders (MSF), in its latest action taken against NGOs that operate in Palestine.

Outstanding reflections on the Gaza genocide:
"How were the horrors of Gaza possible? Quite simply, because those who tried to stop or expose them quickly discovered that our political systems were committed to the genocide and there simply was no way to give voice or power to a different politics."

I wrote a personal essay on what it has meant for me witnessing events in Gaza since October 2023. I would be grateful if you help spread it. These were painful, disturbing conclusions to reach. But inescapable…

Since 1991, Israel has sought to reclassify the Nassar family’s land as “state land.” Despite rulings by the Israeli Supreme Court affirming ownership, the military keeps appealing. Without water or power, the family resists amid settler attacks—one of the longest land cases in the West Bank.
“For us Palestinians, land is a gift.”
For 30+ years, the Nassar family has defended their 42-hectare farm in Wadi Salem, south of Bethlehem, from Israeli seizure—turning it into a living symbol of Palestinian resilience, reports The Guardian.

Large numbers quoted is a desensitising technique because it's unimaginable.
But, that is aided and abetted by governments, who criminalise people for highlighting the murders and try to do something to prevent the continuation of genocide.

According to the European Union, correct response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine is 19 rounds of sanctions against Russia.
According to the EU, correct response to Israel's genocide in occupied Palestine is to increase investments in Israel's arms industry & buy more armaments from Israel.
