This is beyond tragic..thank you for your courage in continuing to report these most horrific circumstances to the world..we must not be allowed to look away or forget even for one minute
There is not enough soap in the universe to wash America clean. The blood on the hands of western leaders will forever place a stain on the human species.
The truth is being kept from the American people by the mainstream media, which has caved in to the pressure of groups like AIPAC. Even the social media sites block any news on the genocide.
This breaks my heart. Israel has really turned to the dark side under Benjamin Netanyahu. Does he really think this abuse will break the spirit of the Gazans, or will it create even more enemy combatants? These poor children are broken, as are the children separated from their parents at the US/Mexico border, and we must all bear witness to the crimes against humanity being perpetrated daily.
These horrendous crimes against humanity continue unrelenting because the US government continues to send millions to terrorize innocent Palestinians. This is beyond horrifying. Do Not Look Away
We are participating in a genocide; this will be a stain on our nation for the rest of time.
The horrific details bring to mind the Armenian genocide, where the people were massacred through endless marches that had no destination but their death. Of course, in order to stay in the good graces of Turkey, Israel denied the genocide of the Armenians; today they are perpetrating one.
May God protect Brother Hossam. What is happening is beyond any of our comprehension. When is anyone in our government going to tell Israel: STOP OR ELSE! When will anyone have the guts to do this? How can they sleep at night knowing that they are murdering babies and children? I just don't understand how people in our government can be so heartless! All I know and believe in is there will be a Day of Judgement, and everyone will be asked what did you to stop this? Because I believe God is the most Just. The international rules-based law and order is very clear to the world that it's not working! God's Justice is Supreme! Because it seems there is not Justice in this world. It saddens me deeply. The world is screaming, and it seems no one in our political system is listening. I don't know what it will take for our country to act to STOP THIS NEVER ENDING NIGHTIMARE before it's really too late!
I can’t begin to imagine what this young journalist Sharif Abdul Kouddous is going through witnessing this horror, the mothers in the pictures look so thin and children and adults so traumatised. I know that the US UK and Germany are responsible for supplying arms and permitting trading to continue with Israel in spite of very loud calls for all that to stop, I would like to know what are the Palestinians geographic neighbours doing to apply the pressure that’s needed, there must be all sorts of ways to do this surely, what are they doing?
Some of the geographic neighbours have tried to do their bit. Lebanon has already suffered grievously. Yemen has done what it could. Iran is a little further away but it too has made an effort and has paid the price.
Thanks, I agree that level of trade is shocking. On the other hand, few of those items could be used to carry out genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Something else though that worries me, Woo4. Why does Israel need to import bombs from the USA? Israel surely must have the skilled personnel to put 2000-pound bombs together. We campaign against Biden exporting his country's bombs to Israel, but Israel could probably put such bombs together in a matter of weeks. They might not have "Made in USA" painted on them, but they'd be lethal enough to collapse an apartment building in which their target victim would be asleep with his family, plus numerous other families. So why do we campaign against export of bombs to the Zionist entity?
I campaign because that’s where they’re coming from atm, the US UK Germany et al. Though I’m sure they could make them in Israel! I have a feeling that the US supplies it’sweapons for free…as aid! There’s a research paper on it here https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/2023/2024/Costs%20of%20War_US%20Support%20Since%20Oct%207%20FINAL%20v2.pdf The company that supplies the dreaded drones /quadcopters that not only spy on but are also used to kill Palestinians and often follow up after the bombs as people are fleeing (according to British doctor testifying in front of a parliamentary committee) Elbit Systems producers these things in the UK though it is an Israeli company supplying the majority of land based weapons to the IDF. God only knows if all the help the British govt gives the Israeli Govt is free or not, that’s not the point for me, the point is to bring down the Zionist government, and for me that includes a complete economic boycott the same as was done with South Africa during apartheid. So I’m not buying Israeli, as far as I know, and don’t bank with Barclays!! And I’m trying to buy Palestinian products like dates and olive oil and some wonderful Hebron Glass. PS The new Brit Govt had cancelled some of the weapons/parts contracts with Israel, though not spares for fighter planes, and not these horror quadcopters.
Good for you, Woo4. Some brave campaigners have tried to shut down one or more of Elbit's numerous factories in the UK, and indeed one Elbit factory here has been closed, but there are several more which seem to be operating undisturbed. The threat of heavy prison sentences keeps most campaigners away.
I believe and I hope Hezbollah, Iran, Yemen, and the other Mideast countries do to Israel what it deserves. Iran and Saudi Arabia are talking and on friendly terms now. I think they know that they will have to make a stand to rid the Mideast of this Brutal Apartheid State.
They are scared as well as having American advisers in many positions in their governments as well as the absolute Power of US military fully backing their puppet beach-head in the Middle East, the other Most Exceptional Nation - Israel, who, like USA, can, by definition, do no wrong. THIS is the structure of the world.
I am chiefly speaking of a trade boycott and according to this report it’s “Business as usual” with all existing trading partners except for Turkey .If all these countries acted together there’s not much anyone could do about it and the Israeli govt would collapse. At the moment each one of these countries may be aiding and abetting genocide which is an international crime. Trading partners are listed here https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241106-israel-continues-to-increase-trade-with-arab-and-muslim-world/. Some of these countries have increased their trade 10 fold, war profiteers, it’s a terrible thing all countries still trading with Israel are doing
Hossam Shabat's article describes in detail how genocide is carried out, bit by bit, a few dozen human beings eliminated every day. It is utterly abominable. Forget about "plausible", this is genocide pure and simple. The terrorist state of Israel will not rest till its forces have exterminated every last Palestinian from Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem. Then they will have conquered every bit of Palestine, from the river to the sea. We in the UK can only feel the deepest shame that, together with the USA, our nation did so much to enable this criminal endeavour.
Gaza and West Bank are occupied territory, taken from Palestine by force, so the sadistic cruelty and murder of children, and men and women resisting Israel theft and aggression is never Israel defending itself. It is criminal psychopathy. I can't fully read these reports. Cruelty towards children is unforgiveable. The acts of unhinged sadists. Financial control of the West by the US must be immense because they are pathetically immorally subservient to US/Israel. Israel has nuclear weapons, which adds to its tyranny in the Mid East. Western so called democratic states need to grow a conscience and break from US/Israel control.
We have constantly been told during this horrific new chapter in human depravity that there are two sides to this, and we must respect the other side's point of view. I for one find it increasingly difficult to respect anyone who condones or even supports this, and as for the MSM, who have been painstakingly trying to shield Israel from the charge of genocide, ethnic cleansing and state terrorism, I sincerely hope they are busy digging their own graves. Of course the loss of a job or a pay cut is far more important to these narcissists than the unspeakable horror Palestinians are suffering at the hands of the Zionists and their supporters in the west.
Thank you for this report. This atrocious Israeli genocide is a stain on all of humanity which must haunt all peoples forever. Forgiveness is not possible.
this is so devastating......Seymor Hersch writes that basically Hesbollah is dead in the water, along with Lebanon.......with no more Hamas....with leaders of countries in the West and the Saudis, UAE, and Qatar against the Palestinians......with Syria again being bombed by the US led forces of HTS (ISIS)......Israel is now a pariah to the many peoples of the world, maybe not to their leaders, but antisemtism will rise not due to those who are proPalestinian, but due to Israel's actions.
I respect Seymour Hersh, but I think/hope that latest Substack from him, is an indication that he is in the overwhelming, but temporary, grip of deep depression, something we must all be on the lookout for, and work hard to keep at bay.
This is beyond tragic..thank you for your courage in continuing to report these most horrific circumstances to the world..we must not be allowed to look away or forget even for one minute
There is not enough soap in the universe to wash America clean. The blood on the hands of western leaders will forever place a stain on the human species.
The kids pleading for water while Israeli troops taunt them by pouring water onto the ground is yet another example of cruelty beyond belief.
It's absolutely sickening!
This inhuman treatment of people by the American government will work into the future karma of the American people. Every cause has an effect.
The truth is being kept from the American people by the mainstream media, which has caved in to the pressure of groups like AIPAC. Even the social media sites block any news on the genocide.
This breaks my heart. Israel has really turned to the dark side under Benjamin Netanyahu.

These poor children are broken, as are the children separated from their parents at the US/Mexico border, and we must all bear witness to the crimes against humanity being perpetrated daily.
How better to create the most massive "blow-back" in the history of this planet?
These horrendous crimes against humanity continue unrelenting because the US government continues to send millions to terrorize innocent Palestinians. This is beyond horrifying. Do Not Look Away

The ICC needs to issue arrest warrants for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Hossam Shabat is the reporter on the ground in Gaza.
Thank you for your correction

Yes, I’m talking more about economic trade with Israel which has increased in many countries except for Turkey. I have found a shocking report on this here https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241106-israel-continues-to-increase-trade-with-arab-and-muslim-world/

This is beyond horrifying, but still the US and the EU do nothing!! What the hell is wrong with them??
What do you mean, "do nothing"? The US, UK, and several EU governments are actively engaged in it.
this is so devastating......Seymor Hersch writes that basically Hesbollah is dead in the water, along with Lebanon.......with no more Hamas....with leaders of countries in the West and the Saudis, UAE, and Qatar against the Palestinians......with Syria again being bombed by the US led forces of HTS (ISIS)......Israel is now a pariah to the many peoples of the world, maybe not to their leaders, but antisemtism will rise not due to those who are proPalestinian, but due to Israel's actions.
