"#Hamas officials have accused some of the looters of working in collaboration with #Israel, which has sealed off aid from entering #Gaza for the past two months. Israel has not commented on the allegation.

In one incident, the Hamas-run interior ministry said a police officer was killed and others were wounded when an #Israeli drone fired a missile at a police unit chasing criminals in Gaza City."

60% de las tierras de cultivo de Gaza han sido arrasadas.
No es defensa. No es seguridad.
Es hambre como arma. Es genocidio planificado.
El ejército israelí destruye los alimentos para destruir al pueblo.
Y Occidente, calla… o financia.
Decimos basta. Ni un euro más para matar.

‘Total fucking disgrace’: Ex-Obama officials slam Biden’s Gaza policies

Former senior #Obama administration officials criticise #Biden’s #Gaza policies on foreign policy podcast

from #MiddleEastEye
By #MEE staff
Published date: 2 May 2025 19:39 BST

Rhodes: “#Israel doesn’t want to end the war … if they were willing to end the war, they would get the hostages out. The idea that they need to continue to fight the war against #Hamas in Gaza - I’m sorry, there’s no security need to do it. You’re just talking about an already traumatised people, including a lot of injured people, who are being bombed in tents with no food and medicine.”

Vietor: “What a total fucking disgrace the Biden administration’s policy on Gaza was… Loyalty to #Netanyahu blinded him to the carnage, the total immorality of the policy, and US complicity in that policy.”

"Seriously, how many children, along with their parents & grandparents, we must witness being starved, burned alive, or gathered into plastic bags after western-manufactured bombs have shattered them?”

'I have no plan B': Gaza's families left to starve under #Israeli aid shutdown

Desperate #Palestinians live on unhealthy single meal a day as 'silent malnutrition' spreads among children

Published date: 29 April 2025 14:07 BST

"On 1 April, all 25 bakeries supported by the #WorldFoodProgramme (WFP) across the #Gaza Strip shut down due to the lack of wheat flour and fuel.

Today, families are using the last remaining bags of wheat flour they received from the #WFP before the aid suspension to bake their bread in primitive, handmade ovens using firewood."

Kommen Sie am Mittwoch, den 30. April um 16 Uhr ins Galilea (Otto-von-Simson-Str. 26, 14195 Berlin) und diskutieren Sie mit uns über die Verstöße der FU gegen internationales Recht und ethische Standards durch ihre Kooperationen mit israelischen Universitäten, die Apartheid und Besatzung anheizen.

Wir werden zunächst unseren umfassenden Bericht darüber vorstellen, warum es notwendig ist, die Verbindungen zu israelischen Institutionen zu kappen, um die Mitschuld der FU an Völkermord, Apartheid und Besatzung zu beenden, und anschließend den akademischen Boykott als ein mögliches Mittel zur Einleitung eines gerechten Wandels diskutieren.

An unserer Diskussion werden u.a. Dr. und Assistenzprofessorin Laia Haurie von der Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya, Dr. Shir Hever, Politikwissenschaftler und Militärembargo-Koordinator des Boykott-Nationalkomitees, ein Vertreter des European Legal Support Center und Luis Cortés, einer der Autoren des BDS-Reports der Freien Universität, teilnehmen.

Louis Theroux meets Israeli settlers in this BBC documentary. I'm surprised the BBC still have it available on iPlayer as the inevitable Zio backlash has already started. Worth watching before they take it down. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002bm1y/louis-theroux-the-settlers

>> Youth Demand supporters have disrupted the London Marathon. Youth Demand is a youth-led civil resistance group calling for the [UK] government to impose a full trade embargo on Israel, and make the fossil fuel elite pay damages to communities and countries most harmed by fossil fuel burning.

>> At approximately 10:35am, two Youth Demand supporters jumped over the barriers and threw red powder paint in front of the men’s elite race at the London marathon as it crossed Tower Bridge. ... City of London police quickly moved to arrest the pair.

>> [a spokesperson from Youth Demand:] “This is a race against time: Gaza is running out of food. Millions of starving Palestinians are being bombed with UK complicity..."
