The UN was finally allowed one small delegation into North Gaza after 10 months of genocide. There is absolutely nothing left. Israel has eradicated everything in sight.

@ayoub let Israël pay for the reconstruction. As part of de wiedergutmachung for the genocide #gaza: Another headless corpse of a child whose only crime was being born into a caged population of untermenschen being collectively punished by a genocidal regime backed by the west and the arab dictatorships. Imagine what it’s like to know for a fact, with zero doubts in your mind, that your child has no value whatsoever to the international order that purports to defend human rights. Your child, the one you must protect with all that you are, can be murdered, and you can simply cope. Israel is mowing the lawn, as they call it, and this requires the extermination of childhood. They must target innocence itself because they have to dehumanise us thoroughly. At no point can the question of innocence be even raised. Everyone is guilty by default. The Israelis assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’ political leader, in Tehran. It was a raid which means they were physically there. Haniyeh wasn’t involved in October 7. He was involved n in negotiations though, and Israel just killed him. This is a significant escalation. They have absolutely no interest in international law. Unless their allies rein them in I fear for a regional war, even if Netanyahu is removed. If the only thing you care about is the Israeli hostages please understand that Netanyahu wants them killed, or is at least indifferent if they live or die. You have you understand this. Every avenue to release them he has brutally shut them down. It genuinely still takes me by surprise just how monstrous Netanyahu is. This man has been immune from consequences for so long he seems to actually enjoy inflicting death and suffering on children. Openly #Germany denied entry to 33 injured Palestinian kids who were going to be treated by volunteer doctors there. The German ministry cited concerns over “terrorists or asylum seekers entering the country” concerning the kids’ escorts. ‘Terrorist or asylum seekers’ in the same sentence. Germany, 2024. https://www.instagram.com/p/C88-QXbsFpI/?igsh=aHBldjllMGFvdXc1 Oh my god - Israeli media is reporting that the IDF knew that October 7 would happen weeks in advance. The IDF’s ‘Gaza division’ knew too. This is absolutely insane. The Israeli government knew, let it happen anyway, and then used the excuse of the massacre to annihilate Gaza. Send Netanyahu to the fucking Hague immediately #TheGuardian has a real racism problem. You can’t possibly write something like this without being completely ignorant of racism. The afd is too openly fascist for even some of the other far right European parties. They want to ethnically cleanse Germany of PoCs, but The Guardian decided instead to regurgitate the AfD’s own narrative. This is what the populist hype leads to. Instead of doing their jobs and speaking truth to power, too many journalists do this sh*t. The University of Minnesota is pausing hiring an Israeli scholar of genocide because he accused Israel of committing a textbook case of genocide in #Gaza https://www.instagram.com/p/C8HNIs1Mb4U/?igsh=eDZlZGlkNTE3bWQ4 @ayoub |
