Et Nemat Shafik, la présidente de Columbia, est pathétique
États-Unis : un campement solidaire avec Gaza installé sur le campus de l’université Columbia
▻https://www.bfmtv.com/international/amerique-nord/etats-unis/etats-unis-un-campement-solidaire-avec-gaza-installe-sur-le-campus-de-l-unive
Mercredi 17 avril, la présidente de l’Université Columbia à New York a défendu devant des parlementaires la lutte contre l’antisémitisme sur son campus, secoué comme beaucoup d’autres aux États-Unis par la guerre entre Israël et le Hamas à Gaza.
En parallèle de cette audience, comme l’a constaté un journaliste du Point, une cinquantaine de tentes ont été installées sur le campus de cette même université. À l’initiative du collectif Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), ce campement de solidarité pour Gaza a pour ambition de réclamer à l’université de couper ses liens avec les "entreprises qui bénéficient de l’apartheid israélien et de l’occupation de la Palestine.
Comme l’indique encore l’hebdomadaire, si de nombreux véhicules de la police new-yorkaise ont été postés tout autour du campus, aucune intervention n’a pour l’heure été ordonnée . […]
Columbia est « un berceau pour l’antisémitisme et la haine », a attaqué mercredi l’élue républicaine Virginia Foxx, présidente de la commission sur l’Éducation, à l’origine de l’audition parlementaire. « L’antisémitisme ne doit trouver aucun refuge dans les universités américaines », a-t-elle ajouté.
Le lendemain, de peur de subir la #malédiction du dieu sioniste, Shafik obtempère

Il y a quelques semaines, j’ai voulu tenter une expérience.
Et si on laissait réellement à des IA les rênes d’un site ? J’ai donc créé un network de sites gérés à 100% par des IA (#chatGPT notamment), totalement autonomes… Le network Generation !
Thread explicatif ⤵️⤵️ Image
2 sites, l’un qui est un site de news technologiques, et l’autre est un site de recettes de cuisines. Les 2 fonctionnent aujourd’hui sans aucune intervention humaine, et crées du contenus « original », en choisissant leurs sujets. Image
Le 2nd d’abord, cuisine-generation.fr/un site de cuisine, qui crées de nouvelles recettes originales chaque jour, ainsi que les photos (qui n’existent donc pas non plus) – déjà 380 recettes, inventées ! Image

Le 2nd site, tech-generation.fr Tech Generation est un site de news tech, avec déjà plus de 750 articles. Le constat est que la majorité des news tech sont à 80% des reprises de sites américains, et reformulés… (je ne critique pas du tout c’est même essentiel) Image

L’IA (#ChatGPT) est connectée à différents flux RSS, et décide seules des sujets à garder en regardant ce qui est déjà publiée, pour éviter les doublons, et sous contraintes. Ensuite chaque article à réécrire est donnée à un des journalistes, avec son style.
Bien entendu avec peu de publicités, les visites sont encore faibles et le référencement aussi (même s augmente assez rapidement vu le contenu généré), mais il faut imaginer qu’avec un budget marketing très limité on peut bumper ce type de sites facilement. Et être bien référencé ImageImage
A noter, à aucun moment le fait que ces sites soient « générés » n’est pas vraiment caché, les mentions légales (écrites par GPT aussi) explicitent bien le directeur de publication notamment ^^ ImageImage

I want to review, so there is no misunderstanding about my position.
As I have said from the beginning, it is my view that the goal of Israel’s military operation in Gaza is to ethnically cleanse Gaza. /1
The goal is not to fight and win a “war against Hamas.” The goal is also not to rescue the hostages. The war against Hamas is a cover story, and the hostages are a prop. /2
How do you ethnically cleanse a place like Gaza? You render it incapable of supporting a tolerable human life, so that its people ultimately feel compelled to flee, and irresistible pressure grows on other countries to absorb them. /3
To do that you destroy everything that supports civilized life. You destroy the hospitals, you destroy the places where people live, you destroy the schools, you kill the doctors and teachers and inspiring intellectual leaders. You keep food out. /4
Obviously, an ethnic cleansing campaign like this is an outrageous crime against humanity. It is also, for the reasons South Africa has already made plain at the ICJ, a genocidal campaign. /5
It has also been my position from the start that the US administration, including and especially the president, are fully apprised of the real nature of the Israeli campaign, and support that campaign. Any statements hinting otherwise are to manage global or domestic opinion. /6
[…]
Don’t be divided or distracted by ruling class attempts to distract, misdirect or demobilize global resistance. Nothing the Israelis say should be trusted. Nothing the US government says should be trusted. Nothing mainstream imperial media says should be trusted. /15
These forces will attempt various ruses. They want to direct and choreograph the global diplomatic theater of false hopes, controlled leaks, limited hangouts and pretend shifts in direction to keep the Zionist strategic objectives on track. /16

Full article: Medical Lawfare: The Nakba and Israel’s Attacks on Palestinian Healthcare
▻https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0377919X.2024.2330366
Abstract
In this article, the authors coin the phrase medical lawfare to describe how Israel has been justifying its systematic attacks on healthcare facilities in the Gaza Strip during its five military assaults on the besieged enclave between 2008 and 2023. They show how Israel mobilizes the laws of armed conflict dealing with human shields and “hospital shields” to securitize lifesaving and sustaining infrastructures and legitimize their destruction.
They describe how medical lawfare works as a racialized form of necropolitical governance that intensifies the Nakba’s settler-colonial logic of elimination while casting Palestinians as guilty of bringing disaster upon themselves.

We argue that the multiple rounds of military attacks carried out by Israel since the implementation of the siege on Gaza in 2007 should be conceived of as an intensification of the existing pattern of settler-colonial dispossession and elimination.

The document assumed that Palestinians would be able to import only limited quantities of “basic food items,” such as flour, rice, oil, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, powdered milk, and baby formula, which Israel calculated could be delivered with seventy-seven trucks a day.
Adding medicine, medical equipment, and hygiene and agricultural products, the number of trucks allowed entry daily, five days a week, reached 106—plus sixty truckloads’ worth of wheat per week via Karni Crossing, bringing the total number of truckloads allowed to 118 daily.
Such calculations, based on a model provided by the Ministry of Health (were doctors involved?), took for granted that the food entering Gaza would be distributed equally among the population, an assumption with no precedent in any historical or geographical setting.
Israel assumed, too, that only 10 percent of the population’s dietary needs would be met by fruits and vegetables produced in Gaza—an implicit admission of how thoroughly the state had come to control Palestinians’ lifelines.

In 2009, reports emerged that the Israeli military had used white phosphorus in #Gaza.

Now let’s look at Israeli air raids.
In 2019, Israel’s air force targeted the home of a family in #Gaza, killing eight #Palestinians.
Initially, Israel claimed that the building was a training facility of Palestinian militants.

▻https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/11/14/gaza-eight-family-members-killed-12-critical-in-israeli-raids
After the truth was revealed by the media, the Israeli military had to confess:

Israel behaves in the same way whenever its soldiers assault, abuse, or kill Palestinians.
In 2016, an Israeli military medic killed a disarmed and injured Palestinian by shooting him in the head.
At first, the military decided not to press charges against the soldier.
Then, Israeli NGO @btselem published a video of the killing, which led to condemnations around the world.
Only at that point was the soldier taken to court. He was convicted and, after 9 months, was released from prison.

Another Israeli soldier shot to death a 17-year-old Palestinian in 2014.
The soldier was prosecuted – and convicted – only after @CNN published a video of the killing.
He spent less than a year in prison:

In that case, both the military and the soldier claimed that he had used only rubber-coated bullets.
But the autopsy, which found three live bullets, refuted their claims.

Similarly, in 2018, Palestinians in the West Bank accused the Israeli military of firing tear gas into their school.
Initially, the military denied these allegations. But it was forced to admit after a video surfaced:

Last year, the Israeli military had to change its story about another incident: the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
At first, Israel denied responsibility – and blamed Palestinian militants.
@AJEnglish @ShireenNasri
But then, the international media, the U.N., and the U.S. investigated the incident, and found that an Israeli soldier had killed Abu Akleh while she was wearing a blue press vest.
Israel had no choice but to admit. No soldier has been prosecuted:

▻https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/05/middleeast/idf-shireen-abu-akleh-investigation-intl/index.html
Although Israel’s armed forces killed 10,556 Palestinians between October 2001 and September 2023, soldiers who kill Palestinians are rarely prosecuted.
As we’ve seen, prosecutions usually occur when Israel is unable to deny what the soldiers did.

More than 99% of complaints regarding harm caused to Palestinians by soldiers end without a trial, according to Israeli NGO @YeshDin.
And the few soldiers who are prosecuted and convicted - tend to receive extremely lenient sentences:

▻https://www.yesh-din.org/en/law-enforcement-against-israeli-soldiers-suspected-of-harming-palestinians
Again and again, the Israeli military denies allegations, and is forced to confess only when left with no other choice.
And even when the Israeli military admits to accusations, it makes up excuses: “we acted lawfully,” "these are just a few rotten apples"…
So, the military tries to deny the facts. When this doesn’t work, it denies the meaning of these facts.
Following sociologist Stanley Cohen, the former denial tactic of the Israeli military can be called “factual” (or “literal”) denial.
The latter can be called “interpretive” denial.

Lastly, Israel hides unflattering documents, including previously public ones.
The aim (as revealed by @Akevot & @haaretzcom) is to protect Israel’s reputation, discredit critical scholars, and prevent Palestinian unrest:

Peut-on faire confiance aux enquêtes de l’armée de l’état sioniste ?
Thread by HediViterbo on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App
▻https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1775229517054791682.html
Israel is investigating its killing of 7 aid workers in #Gaza (who were from the UK, Australia, Poland, and Palestine, and included a U.S.-Canadian citizen).
But what do Israel’s past investigations of similar killings tell us?
1/11
Take, for example, James Miller – an award-winning British filmmaker.
He was killed by Israeli gunfire while filming a documentary in #Gaza.
Forensic experts from the London police found that the bullets were the same ones used by the Israeli military.
2/11
But the Israeli investigation into Miller’s death did not recommend that the suspected soldier be prosecuted.
Even when the British Attorney General asked Israel to prosecute the soldier, Israel ignored this request.
3/11
Another example concerns U.S. activist Rachel Corrie, who was crushed to death by an Israeli armored bulldozer in #Gaza.
Corrie was protesting Israel’s demolitions of #Palestinian houses.
Physicians and activists who were there say she was deliberately driven over.
4/11
But the Israeli investigation found that Corrie’s death was an accident.
Unsurprisingly, when her parents filed a civil lawsuit against Israel, the Israeli court rejected their lawsuit.
The court described Corrie’s death as “an accident she brought upon herself”.
5/11
And another example:
British activist Tom Hurndall was helping Palestinian children in #Gaza cross a street to avoid gunfire. Then, an Israeli sniper shot him in the head.
Photographic evidence shows that Hurndall was wearing a bright orange vest.
6/11
Initially, the Israeli inquiry concluded that Hurndall’s death was an accident.
But then, the UK demanded a more thorough investigation.
7/11
This time, the investigation led to the prosecution and conviction of the soldier.
Why? One possible reason is that the convicted soldier was Arab, to whom Israel was perhaps less committed than to its Jewish citizens.
8/11
Another possible reason is that the soldier said, during his trial, that the Israeli military had a policy of shooting at unarmed Palestinian civilians.
For Israel, it was easier to convict this soldier than to admit it had been systematically murdering unarmed civilians.
9/11
Add to this the fact that the Israeli military has a long record of lying.
There are various examples in this thread: ▻https://twitter.com/HediViterbo/status/1721468176892850589
So far, we’ve seen how Israel acts when the fatalities are British and US citizens.
Soldiers who kill #Palestinians are almost never prosecuted (see info in that same thread).

6/ This is, for me, a remarkably difficult time. My difficulties pale before the suffering of the Gazans and Palestinians in general. The immediate evils of this “war” must stop - the starvation, the bombings, the inhuman treatment. I know and say this as an Israeli Jew. --->
7/ I post to share the lessons I learn about the zombification of my society in real time. I post to reflect on the truths I am learning about my Israeliness, truths I have engaged with before but was privileged enough not to have seared into my mind. Now they are seared . --->
8/ I would like to thank everyo

(Une satire de Uri Avnery concernant la résolution par la suite annulée de l’ONU disant que le sionisme est un racisme)
[…]
The aforementioned resolution dictates ‘The ideology of Zionism is racist.’
Since Zionism is the official Torah of the State of Israel, it follows that Israel too is racist. Who would entertain such a baseless claim if not an outright anti-Semite?
Fortunately, it is very easy to refute this vile and despicable decision.
The nature of Zionism & consequently that of the State of Israel, are not determined by votes in New York, but by the actions of the State & its government, through the realization of Zionism on our land.
We have little influence over votes at the UN. There, any condemnation can be directed against us. But we have influence over the actions of the State of Israel. It is independent. It is sovereign.
No power in the world — certainly not the UN, can dictate what it should do.
Therefore, the Israeli government can easily prove that it’s neither racist nor nationalist. It can take actions that will slap the faces of the anti-Semites who’ve raised their hands for this wicked condemnation.
It can make them choke with anger & hide their faces in shame. It can turn them into a laughingstock in the eyes of any decent person.
How? Very easily. A few simple actions that speak for themselves would suffice:
If I were in charge of Israel’s public relations, I would compile a long list of such actions that could be implemented immediately.
For example, one of the accusations by Israel’s enemies is that in Israel, the personal lives of its residents are subject to racial restrictions.
They claim, for some reason, that the State of Israel denies its citizens one of the fundamental rights of modern man: to marry according to one’s heart’s desire, regardless of the race, origin, nationality, ethnic group, and (recently added) the gender of the partners.
Various publications around the world have claimed that in Israel, a ‘kosher’ Jew is not allowed to marry a woman unless she is of Jewish descent.
They argue that we scrutinize the family trees of the mother & grandmother, comparing this to the infamous Nuremberg Laws.
Globally, the ridiculous notion has spread that ‘blacklists’ like ones used in the Third Reich, slandering citizens’ backgrounds of being bastards, gentiles, half-breeds, & other definitions related to national, racial, or religious origin, have recently been discovered in Israel
How can we refute these claims by the anti-Semites? Very easily...
I suggest the Knesset immediately enact a ‘Basic Law: Marriage & Divorce’, which guarantees every person in Israel the unlimited right to marry and be married according to the free will of the partners. This law should ensure civil marriages & divorces for anyone who desires them; It must criminally prohibit any scrutiny of a person’s origin.
Such a law would be a knockout blow to all of Israel’s haters, proving that the Zionist State of Israel is devoid of any racism. It would embarrass the accursed Nazis at the UN assembly more than anything.
Another wicked claim by the anti-Semites is that the State of Israel, from its establishment to this very day, enacts a racist policy of land confiscation.
They insinuate that there’s a trend in our state to ‘Judaize’ the Negev, ‘Judaize’ the Galilee, ‘Judaize’ Jerusalem.
They claim, in other words: the development of the State of Israel is not aimed at improving the situation of all its residents, irrespective of religion and race, but is a guise for displacing non-Jews in favor of Jews.
According to these haters of Israel, Jerusalem is not being developed for its own sake, but rather with the intention of making it a predominantly Jewish city, while disenfranchising non-Jews.
The Galilee is being developed not for the benefit of all its inhabitants but with an aim to transfer it from Arab to Jewish hands. Bedouins in the Negev are being displaced to hand over their lands to Jews. For this purpose, it is claimed, more than a million dunams were confiscated from Arab villages that remained in our borders after the War of Independence.
Now, it is said, the gov intends to settle Jews in millions more dunams of Arab lands in the Galilee, confiscated w/ the help of both overt & covert expropriation laws.
This whole division between ‘Jews’ and ‘non-Jews’ is portrayed worldwide as an act of racism.
Why, these anti-Semites ask, are there no new Arab villages alongside the new Jewish ones?
Why isn’t there even one new development town where Jews and Arabs live together, side by side?
Why isn’t there even one Arab kibbutz or moshav in the country?
Why does a national scandal erupt when an Arab family from Lower Nazareth wants to buy a house in Upper Nazareth?
These wicked claims are very easy to refute.
We simply need to prove there’s no discrimination b/w Jews & non-Jews in developments from the Galilee to the Negev.
In the framework of development of the Galilee, existing cities and villages, whether Jewish or Arab, will be developed first. New industrial zones will be established within the territories of existing local councils, so they can benefit from the taxes and develop.
If new settlements are to be established, in order to utilize areas that are not currently cultivated, both Jews and Arabs will be settled in them, separately or together, with priority given to the existing population that is crying out for new sources of livelihood…
Imagine the faces of the anti-Semites at the UN when the Israeli ambassador presents photos of a new Arab village established as part of the Galilee development!
All the little Hitlers at the UN will burst with rage.
This same opportunity can also be used to refute another claim that has made waves around the world, aiding neo-Nazis to portray Zionism as a racist doctrine.
I’m referring to the case of the villages of Iqrit and Biram…
The anti-Semites insist that the residents of these two Arab villages were expelled from their ancestral lands, during peacetime, to hand them over to Jewish kibbutzim & moshavim…
Since these were Christian villages, this slander convinced many in the Christian world that Israel indeed is a racially & religiously discriminatory state, engaged in robbery of property for the benefit of Jew over gentile.
Here too, the solution is simple & straightforward:
What will the sallow-faced fascists at the UN say when it’s announced there that the residents of Iqrit & Birom have been returned, w/ great honor, to their villages?
They will die of shame when photos show Rabin greeting the returnees at the entrance to the church of Iqrit!
Of course, there are a few somewhat more complicated issues.
There is, for instance, the Law of Return, which grants special rights to ‘Jews’ as opposed to everyone else…
A Jew can immigrate to the land at will and becomes an Israeli citizen the moment their foot touches our soil. A non-Jew has to undergo various procedures.
The anti-Semites exploit this law to concoct allegations against Israel & Zionism.
They argue that the law grants a Jew from Brooklyn a right not accorded to an Arab born in Jaffa.
They claim that the definition of ‘Jew’ in this law, in its updated version as well, is racial (someone born to a Jewish mother) and also religious (‘or converted’).
Slanders have even been spread worldwide, as if the Israeli Minister of the Interior deported kosher Jews who were suspected of believing in Jesus, blacks who defined themselves as Jews, people whose Jewishness was doubted, etc…
How to refute these claims?
The Law of Return was originally intended to help refugees & persecuted individuals, victims of antisemitism.
Indeed, even before its enactment, several senior Israeli officials advised Ben-Guroon to waive it, since it could complicate the government with various entanglements.
There was no need for such a law since any government in the world can determine at any time whom it wants to let into its country & whom not.
Yet the law exists, and it’s not easy to explain its essence in the face of the slanders by the anti-Semites.
Hundreds of millions living across Asia & Africa see immigration restrictions based on origin as the pinnacle of white colonial racism. But here too, there is plenty that can be done to defeat the anti-Semites:
For instance, it could be determined that the Law of Return applies to anyone who sincerely wishes to join the Israeli nation and is ready to be loyal to the state. Definitions related to the mother & grandmother could be abolished.
It could be established that all who come to Israel are equal before the law when receiving Israeli citizenship.
It’s possible to adopt the Supreme Court’s recommendation from the time of the Shalit case & abolish the ‘nationality’ entry in identity cards.
It’s entirely possible to abolish the recording of origin, ethnic group, nationality & religion in all official documents - as Jews have demanded worldwide.
Such an act would deliver a blow to the Nazis in ties, the heirs of Dr. Goebbels, who poison the UN assembly.
I could present a long list of such proposals to the government of Israel. I won’t do so for one simple reason, kept secret until now. It’s time to reveal it.
The terrible truth is that an anti-Zionist government has ruled the State of Israel since its first day to this day.
This government systematically acts to provide material for the anti-Semites, who seek to condemn Zionism as a racist doctrine. Otherwise, the decision taken at the UN could not have been made.
This government has decided just now to confiscate millions more dunams of additional Arab lands, to carry out the ‘Judaization of the Galilee’ (called ‘the development of the Galilee,’ as a transparent disguise), the government has just this week confirmed that the blacklists of marriage ineligibles are, in principle, okay.
Just this week it was revealed that the government retracted its inclination, to return the displaced people of Iqrit and Biram to their villages.
When such anti-Zionists rule in Jerusalem, what is left to do in New York?
What can possibly be done?
@ireallyhateyou
lmk if you caught any mistakes or missed jokes in translation — i noticed it tried to replace “Zionism is the official Torah of Israel” with “Zionism is the official doctrine of Israel” so I’m sure there’s some stuff lost in translation btw, this same issue has a feature on how Shai Davidai’s El Al executive grandpa was a brutal union-buster lmao

Je ne l’avais pas fait jusqu’à présent : un fil sur ce livre auquel nous avons travaillé durant des années. Le voici : l’histoire des révolutions de par le monde vaut bien qu’on y passe du temps, de l’enthousiasme et de la minutie. Elle offre aussi de puiser élan, force et espoir⤵️

My analysis is that we can’t anymore refer to rules of engagement based on depth and distance, rather targets, and this is going to be the determining factor for the direction of events. What’s Hezbollah’s objectives and what’re those of Israel?
Israel’s main objective is getting Hezbollah out of the border area, and destroy as much infrastructure as possible based on its bank of targets. It’s succeeding in turning the border area into a burned area, but Hezb is still present at the front edge. Also, Israel is provoking Hezb to use its strategic weaponry. and that’s not happening, the group is still far from being pushed to do that, all what’s in use is operational assets that Israel experienced over the years, or saw Hezb using in Syria or Iraq. And that’s preventing Israel from knowing or tracing the warehouses or launching areas for such weapons.
That’s one of the reasons why an all out war hasn’t erupted yet. Hezbollah’s use of modified Katyusha rockets isn’t only helping to drive the fight further, but also depleting Israel’s stockpiles of antimissile batteries. It’s also burning hundreds of thousands of dollars in each launch.
This salvo, maybe 40 rockets (1x$2000 each) was intercepted by Iron dome (1x$70,000 each), the math is part of the war here.
Israel too is intensifying its strikes to deplete Hezbollah forces, assassinations is proving to be a very serious issue for Hezb.

The latest wave of covid propaganda is to claim that ~covid anxiety~ is the biggest pandemic problem we’re facing. I have yet to see the data. I have, on the other hand, seen mountains of data indicating structural and functional changes to heart, lungs, brain, and more. 🧵
“But same with the flu!” No. Via ACE receptors and otherwise, SARS-CoV-2 can affect every system, even damage inside blood vessels (yes the tubes that deliver blood everywhere). True, we’ve likely under-appreciated post-influenza sequelae. Still, it seems less and fewer organs.
Did the rapidly spreading airborne virus killing people all around us scare folks? Ummm, yes. People’s experiences, reactions, and coping mechanisms are diverse.
Some lost loved ones, experienced hospitalization/ICU, gained new chronic health issues. Children lost their parents.
Others lost jobs, got off-track with their education, got behind on the basics.
If you’re behind on preventative health, cancer screenings, labwork, please catch up! Knowledge = power.
If you need someone to talk to, please find someone.
Also, check on your people.
As for how we’re living now, there are those with zero regard for covid risk, and there are those who continue to mitigate it (to varying degrees of course). We know there are layers of protection, and the more layers, the better. Mask, vax, gather outside, test, isolate when +.
The best intervention we can do as a society is create & maintain high standards for indoor ventilation/air exchange/filtration, especially important in schools & congregate settings, with transparency like the restaurant letter grade! Create more safe outdoor gathering spaces.
Protecting yourself is a personal choice. It’s a choice that can affect others mainly because C19 is airborne and highly contagious, and because asymptomatic transmission occurs. So a filtration mask is currently our best bet for individual protection when there may be exposure.
Trying to shoo away long covid by insulting those experiencing it is trash. The lack of evidence thus far is noted. Data that “will be presented” at the such-and-such conference is dead to me. Wake me up when the peer reviewed article is published and then we’ll talk.
This trash take is also insulting to all the real researchers who’ve published actual findings. I hope your peer reviewed studies cite them well and explain how your research contributes. If you really care about covid-era behavioral health challenges, let’s hear your plan.
We still have a lot to learn and a ways to go - it’s still early! The more we can quantify and understand, the better we can evolve and tailor our interventions. I hope for better vaccines, better treatments, better diagnostics, and significant advancements in long & post-covid.
Until then I’m continuing to mask, strategically test, gather outdoors as much as possible, improve indoor ventilation/filtration wherever I can, and improve my own understanding through reading the literature and listening to patients and to experts in their respective fields. /

9/ Israel has actively attempted to cause the death of the civilian population of Gaza. This has been done through the destruction of institutions that support life – such as hospitals or aid agencies – as well as by strangling the Gaza Strip from its necessities: food & water.
10/ As a result, people in Gaza (mainly children) have already begun to die from starvation and dehydration. Because of the lack of medicine, difficult medical procedures such as amputations and caesareans are conducted with no anesthesia.
11/ Israel has gone further in attempting to destroy the fabric of Palestinian society by deliberately targeting cultural institutions such as universities, libraries, archives, religious buildings and historical sites.
12/ Israeli discourse has de-humanized Palestinians to such an extent that the vast majority of Israeli Jews supports the aforementioned measures. Countless videos from the Gaza Strip uploaded by soldiers in the Israeli military attest to widespread
