a reminder that your advocacy for ending the occupation of Palestine should also extend to advocating for Indigenous and First Nations peoples' liberation in your own country. The anti-colonial struggle is a global one. Show up for Indigenous people everywhere you can because we are under occupation almost everywhere. Not to mention the Zionist occupation is supported almost exclusively by the colonial world powers. Your advocacy for the liberation for Palestine must go hand in hand with advocacy for First Nations liberation and Land Back.
people are calling what happened today in gaza “the flour massacre”
the flour massacre
these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood
evil is not enough of a word. there is not a word to describe what they are doing to palestine. they are bleeding her out, they are torturing her and crushing her and hoping that nothing is left to remember her by when they are done. how can anyone stand and watch what is being done with indifference? how can you watch this level of human suffering, this crime against life and feel nothing, do nothing
Every Friday, millions of Yemenis, themselves survivors of genocide, protest the genocide of Gaza
[ 📹 Insane scenes of contradictions as an Israeli occupation F-16 drops bombs on civilians in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, it is immediately followed by a second plane which air drops humanitarian aid for civilians being bombed to death. 📈 The death toll in Gaza rises again, now exceeding 36'379 Palestinians killed, while another 82'407 others have been wounded since Oct. 7th. ]
On 239th day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 5 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 95 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while another 350 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.
It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands, of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.
This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.
"Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: The destruction of Hamas military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages, and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel."
Those are the words of Israeli occupation Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who refuses to negotiate a ceasefire deal as long as Hamas retains the ability to govern the Gaza Strip and retains military capabilities.
“Israel will continue to insist these conditions are met before a permanent ceasefire is put in place. The notion that Israel will agree to a permanent ceasefire before these conditions are fulfilled is a non-starter,” Netanyahu added.
His comments come after US President Joe Biden gave a speech on Friday outlining terms submitted by the negotiators for the Israeli occupation in an attempt to pressure both sides into accepting the Israeli-proposed deal.
As negotiations have continued for months, Israeli negotiators have repeatedly put ideas on the table before the Prime Minister shelves the proposals with his comments, seeking instead the complete destruction of Hamas and Gaza, and using ongoing negotiations to buy time for continued ethnic cleansing operations in the Strip.
In other news, in an article published by the Associated Press, the Israeli military's medical corps told the AP's correspondant that "36 people from Gaza have died in Israel's detention centers since October 7th."
Of those, at least "some died from medical negligence," according to Physicians for Human Rights- Israel.
The Israeli occupation has detained some 4'000 Palestinians since October 7th, releasing roughly 1'500 after it was determined many of the detainees were not associated with Hamas or other Palestinian resistance factions.
Meanwhile, another Palestinian child has died of starvation as a result of the occupation's ongoing blockade of the Gaza Strip.
According to local reporting, a 13 year-old Palestinian child named Abdul Qader Al-Sarhi has died at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip, due to malnutrition and dehydration.
The latest starvation death marks the 37th case of a Palestinian dying as a result of starvation and dehydration.
The healthcare situation in the Gaza Strip has become catastrophic over the last several weeks as the Israeli occupation forces closed the Rafah border crossing to humanitarian aid convoys, while at the same time, occupation bombing, shelling and ground operations have put all hospitals in the Rafah Governate out of service, and closed nearly all hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip as well.
Meanwhile in the north of Gaza, local Civil Defense crews announced the recovery of more than 70 decomposing corpses of Palestinians killed by the Israeli occupation army during its 20-day-long siege of the Jabalia Camp.
Civil Defense spokesperson, Mahmoud Basal, said in a statement that “Our crews recovered more than 70 martyrs, most of them women and children, from Jabalia camp," adding that "these include about 30 martyrs from the Asalia family alone, 22 of whom are children and women."
Basal continued by saying “Our crews have not finished their work yet in Jabalia, and are continuing to search for more martyrs under the rubble of destroyed homes.”
He went on to describe the Jabalia Camp as a "disaster area", resulting from occupation shelling, bombing, missile and drone strikes, and its purposeful burning of, and detonations of, local residential buildings.
“The occupation destroyed the infrastructure in Jabalia and its surroundings, as water, sewage, and electricity networks, schools, health facilities, and dozens of homes were destroyed," Basal continued, pointing out that “the occupation forces also destroyed the main electrical generators in Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.”
Basal concluded by adding that “the occupation destroyed the fifth floor of Al Awda Hospital in Jabalia.”
At the same time, the Israeli occupation continues its invasion of Rafah, with Merkava tanks and other armored vehicles advancing into central Rafah where intense battles with the Palestinian resistance factions continue to rage, and as Israeli bombs and missiles continue to pummel residential buildings and local infrastructure, including healthcare infrastructure, wreaking havoc on the local population.
Occupation bombing, shelling and gunfire also continues in central and northern Gaza, continuing to target civilian housing and infrastructure.
IOF fighter jets conducted a firebelt today on the town of Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, while in Gaza City, occupation warplanes bombed a residential home belonging to the Al-Haddad family, on Al-Jalaa Street near the Al-Ghafri Junction, resulting in the deaths of three civilians, including journalist Ola Al-Dahdouh and wounding several others, including her husband and child.
In another airstrike, occupation forces bombed in the vicinity of the Salah al-Din Mosque, in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, killing three Palestinians and wounding several others who were taken to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the city.
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) also bombarded the vicinity of the University College, killing and wounding several Palestinians.
At the same time, in Gaza's south, Zionist occupation forces bombed several civilian residences in Sultan Hill, west of Rafah, including at least one inhabited home, resulting in a number of casualties.
Witnesses say occupation forces on the ground open fire on anyone or anything that moves in the residential neighborhoods of Rafah they occupy.
Another four civilians were killed near Lafat Badr, north of Rafah, after the Israeli occupation fired several artillery shells into the neighborhood, while occupation ground forces continue detonating homes in neighborhoods east of Rafah.
In central Gaza, Zionist warplanes bombed a residential house belonging to the Al-Sharif family in the Bureij Refugee Camp, along with bombing a second home in the camp, while the body of a civilian killed in occupation bombing was discovered near the sea in the Nuseirat Camp.
As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll among the local population has risen to exceed 36'379 Palestinians killed, including over 15'000 children and 10'000 women, while another 82'407 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

An elderly woman breaks down as she speaks in the north of Gaza as she mentions how 2 of her kids in this genocide were killed and another in a different bombardment.
Drew this in support of Palestine, it is horrifying to hear about what is happening right now. Please never stop talking about it, never stop protesting, boycotting. We can make a difference and people's lives depend on it. I will not let genocide go ignored and unnoticed, my blog will mostly be Palestine related art for a while. I just can't let myself ignore a genocide. I've been quiet too long, I need to make my voice heard
