Quoting Nir Hasson: “all the evidence indicates that in the war that began on October 7, 2023, the IDF loosened all the legal and moral reins on its soldiers and committed too many war crimes to count”

The massacre of aid workers in Gaza is just the tip of the iceberg. Nir Hasson writes that the real horror is the pattern of incidents – like the deaths of hostages, WCK workers, & the Abu Nassar family – revealing a troubling reality in Gaza, investigated by reputable media outlets. These aren't isolated events.

[…] Yet the true horror isn't the killing of the paramedics, but the truth arising through the smoke from all the windows that have been opened and the accumulated evidence that has emerged from Gaza since the start of the war. There's no reason to think the incidents described above – the three hostages, the World Central Kitchen workers, the Abu Nassar family, the paramedics and dozens of others investigated by every self-respecting Western media outlet – are exceptional.

[…] Given this accumulation of black balls – the testimonies, the photographs, the investigative reports, the reports by international organizations, the satellite photos and common sense – there's no logic in assuming that the other 30,000 civilians (at least) who were killed in Gaza, died in compliance with Israeli and international law.

"When the EU pressures other countries, such as South Africa and others in the Global South, to align with its geopolitical priorities (on Ukraine/Russia), while giving itself a pass when convenient (on Israel/Palestine), it grates in other parts of the world and undermines the very case for the “rules-based international order” that the EU purports to defend and exemplify."

Israel hat einen ganz bestimmten Fehler gemacht

"Nachdem man bereits eine erste Darstellung des Vorfalls zurückziehen musste, nennt Israels Militär die Tötung von 15 palästinensischen Rettungskräften nun ein »operatives Missverständnis«. Soldat*innen seien von einer »realen Bedrohung durch feindliche Kräfte« ausgegangen. Deutsche Medien titeln dazu, Israel räume »Fehler« ein.

Laut Recherchen der »Washington Post« und der »New York Times« wurden die in Uniformen des Roten Halbmonds oder des Zivilschutzes gefundenen Opfer hauptsächlich durch gezielte und mehrfache Treffer auf lebenswichtige Bereiche des Körpers getötet. Ihre Leichen zeigten Anzeichen präziser Zielerfassung.

Der einzige »Fehler«, den Israels Militär also gemacht hat, ist, das Video der Bodycam eines Opfers, welches das eigene Narrativ des barbarischen Vorfalls entkräftete, nicht verschwinden zu lassen. Einen Fehler macht auch die deutsche Presse, wenn sie Israels Lügen bagatellisiert und dessen Regierung mit einem weiteren Kriegsverbrechen davonkommen lässt...."

The U.S. says bombing Yemen is “self-defense.” That’s a lie.

Yemen blocked weapons headed to Israel’s genocide in Gaza — so the U.S. retaliated.

No UN approval. No legal justification. Just empire protecting empire.

Day 22 ⚖️⚔️🇦🇺

“I’m in jail because I stood up to Government who has lost respect for #truth and #law, and the nation of Australia, and sacrifices our nation for their own selfish re-election campaigns”

“Probably only one thing is guaranteed about this election: that in three years time #Australia will be in worse shape that it is now.

That is because our system promotes ‘window-dressing’: pretending to do good things with expensive #PR and #media campaigns, while actually doing the opposite. The party which tells the biggest boldest lies, and makes promises that it has no intention of keeping, will win. Australia will lose. A hung parliament is our only hope for progress.

If you want to understand the concept of #WindowDressing, all you have to do is consider how #Labor came in on a promise of more transparent government, a better deal for #women and #ClimateAction. Its hard not to smile in a black-humoured way when those three things are now considered in light of the last three years.” — #DavidMcBride
