This is the paramedic who found his family among the dead victims. I thought it was only his mother who got killed, but I was mistaken. But his sister seems to have survived only.
They're telling him to calm down but he fell to the ground saying: My family. My family.
The man consoles him saying: We're all one family here. Each one of us has lost their family. Look, my sisters are in there. We have to get back up. You're strong.
(Oct. 26) @Mondoweiss: One of the bakeries that Israel bombed in Nuseirat refugee camp had just received a shipment of flour from UNRWA meant to cover the food needs of the entire camp. Israel waited to bomb it once all the flour was unloaded.
They let humanitarian aid in. Then they bombed it so that Gaza would starve.
A journalist stationed at a Gaza hospital who has been able to make a call via his Turkish sim:
"We’re in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We have no idea what’s happening. There’s no connection, no Wi-Fi, no reporters. We’re cut off from everything.. People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner. The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on. You can’t reach anyone, even if they’re only 500 meters away. Ambulances and medics are begging reporters to let them know which streets are getting bombarded to go rescue the victims but the reporters themselves don’t know where anything is happening [because of the connection loss]. We are trying to report the news but we have no idea what’s happening.”
and let the history books name joe biden, rishi sunak, justin trudeau, emmanuel macron, ursula von der leyen and every other world leader who did not step in to prevent the genocide of palestine as cold-blooded murderers. may they face a shred of the immeasurable pain and suffering they allowed to be committed against 2.2. million innocent lives.
““In heaven we are making another Gaza for ourselves. Gaza with doctors without blood or patients, teachers without crowded classes, journalists reporting on the beauty of the heaven. In heaven, there is a Gaza being created, without a siege.” Heba AbuNada, killed by Israel. - @WeAreNotNumbers”
Israel today murdered the wife and two children of Al Jazeera's Gaza Bureau Chief, Wael Al-Dahdouh. This comes after the US Secretary of State demanded that Al Jazeera 'tone down' its coverage of Israel's mass slaughter of Palestinians. The killings echo the US's missile strike on Al Jazeera's Baghdad office during the 2003 invasion, which was a deliberate targeting that resulted in the death of journalist Tareq Ayyoub. Any journalists heroic enough to depict the horrors of American and Israeli imperialism are considered fair game.
my patience is thin with people who like to walk the fence when talking about palestine but for one last time. what hamas did was brutal, yes. it was violent, yes. but most importantly it was inevitable. when you push people to such extremes, stripping them of their rights, their land, their dignity, their childhood, their dreams, their whole lives, they are bound to push back. if hamas didn't do it (even though this lazer focus on hamas is also a skewed perception of what's going on, other Palestinian resistance groups are also involved, including marxist/secularist groups) some other group would have, if they didn't do it now, they would have done it later. this kind of violence from the occupied is an unavoidable response to a much greater, much more brutal form of violence done by the occupier. thus the blame for the lost lives of israelis should only be placed on the zionist occupation. if you cannot understand this, or do not accept it, i'm not willing to take anything you have to say about palestine or palestinians or hamas seriously.
