"This Carnage Needs to Stop": Israel Bans Aid Groups from Gaza, Kills Over 1,000 in North Gaza Siege

COMMENTS:

Israeli human rights group B’Tselem reported “Since 1967 , Thousands of homes of Palestinians were demolished by Israel. This is part of war crime: The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the occupying state from destroying the property of civilians in occupied territory, ” Homes were usually demolished at night without residents being given any advance warning. The homes destroyed by security forces belonged to Palestinians who were not suspected of any involvement in causing harm to Israeli civilians or security forces. They were given no opportunity to plead their case before any instance and received no compensation for the damage they sustained. This policy of collective punishment inflicted lasting harm on thousands of people. 

This policy constitutes collective punishment, which is prohibited and violates binding provisions of international law. 

I wept just a few minutes into watching this. Thank you Amy, for giving us a window into what's happening in Gaza. Thank you for your coverage, thank you for your humanity. God bless you. Evil thrives when good men and women keep quiet. We will continue to speak out against this madness. We will not give up.

“Settler Violence = State Violence” Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, 25 November 2021 “Since occupying the West Bank in 1967, Israel has misappropriated more than 2 million dunams( 1 duman= 10763.9 square feet) of land throughout the West Bank. Israel has taken over some of these areas using official means: issuing military orders, declaring the area “state land,” a “firing zone” or a “nature reserve,”. Other areas have been effectively taken over by settlers through daily acts of violence, including attacks on Palestinians and their property. Settler violence against Palestinians is part of the strategy employed by Israel’s apartheid regime, which seeks to take over more and more West Bank land. The state fully supports and assists these acts of violence,

This is barbaric and savagery. This is an absolute outrage to humanity and I'm outraged at my government for standing by and supporting this! We the people do not support this and this must cease! I don't know why I should pay my taxes - for this??? Not in my name πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ™πŸ½

Northern Gaza, which is one-fourth of Gaza’s territory, has been under siege for 23 days. The nearly 400,000 residents who had remained there after a year of war face inhumane conditions as food, water, and medicines have run out, and aid is not reaching them More than 800 people have been killed in three weeks.πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ♥πŸ˜ͺπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ♥πŸ˜ͺ

This shows the level of the greed. “Israel’s Netanyahu brings his dirty laundry to Washington. Literally.”The Washington Post “The Netanyahus are the only ones who bring actual suitcases of dirty laundry for us to clean,” said one U.S. official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the details of a foreign leader’s visits. “After multiple trips, it became clear this was intentional.” Over the years, the Israeli leader has developed a reputation among the staff at the U.S. president’s guesthouse for bringing special cargo on his trips to Washington: bags and suitcases full of dirty laundry, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The clothes are cleaned for the prime minister free of charge by the U.S. staff, a perk that is available to all foreign leaders but sparingly taken advantage of given the short stays of busy heads of state.
