🇵🇸🇮🇱 So far the latest casualty figures I've seen for the rescue of the 4 Israeli prisoners from Nuseirat is 274 dead and 698 wounded. I'm sure that will climb higher. Israel's excuse for this extreme carnage was 'Hamas shouldn't have put the prisoners amongst so many civilians.' But a simple look at the map shows this is just a typical lie. According to Israel's own accounts, it began a "diversion" attack on Deir al Balah several miles away. Many of the casualties were there. So Israel slaughtered civilians miles away from the prisoners, and then said they had to kill them because they were being used as human shields.
If you think about this for a few seconds, you'll realize that it's Israel that exploited civilians, not Hamas.
EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION
The hypocrisy of The United States of Israel.

🚨 ISRAEL'S AI: THE MARK OF THE ... "LAVENDER"
Lavender, Israel's AI, has reportedly scanned millions of people in Palestine - and "marked" 37,000 in Gaza as militants.
It scans most individuals when they enter their homes and assigns a 1-100 rating based on traits like phone habits and social connections.
Despite knowing a 10% error rate, the IDF acts on these ratings, leading to strikes on civilian homes under the guise of targeting militants - with "up to 20 civilian casualties acceptable" per strike.

For months, all we’ve heard from Israel is that Hamas commits war crimes by disguising themselves as civilians & not wearing uniforms.
And now we see Israeli soldiers/assassins “disguised as medics and other civilians making their way through a corridor”: bbc.com/news/world-middle-ea…

Dear @POTUS, I hope by now this letter has made it to your desk. It is soundly and thoughtfully written. There is a growing credibility gap between this administration’s stated core values vs actions, having a depressive effect on organizing and support around the upcoming election. It is the hope of so many here and around the world that you reconsider your unwavering military assistance for what is no longer a war, but an illegal and atrocious action exacted on innocent people. It is corrosive for any chance of lasting peace in the region. Your administration is filled with the best of the best. These resignations should give you pause. You are right. Democracy is indeed at stake.

Subject: Urgent Concerns Regarding the impending matter of South Africa v. Israel with the ICJ
Dear Madam President and esteemed panel of Judges,
I hope this message finds you well and resolute. My name is [Your Name], I am a concerned citizen of the [Your Country]. I am reaching out to you with a sense of urgency and sincere apprehension which prompts me to break my customary silence.
I have always held the belief that individuals in positions of authority, such as yourself, harbour the best interests of humanity at heart. However, recent developments in the Middle East and the global response to them have stirred doubt in my convictions, compelling me to express my concerns directly to you.
As I explored the International Court of Justice's website, I took solace in the fact that it consists of "independent judges, elected regardless of their nationality from among persons of high moral character." With this understanding, I address you regarding the impending South Africa v. Israel matter, the provisional measures hearing of which is scheduled for Thursday, 11th and Friday, 12th January 2024.
I am sure that you are acutely aware of the gravity of the case before you, and I believe that your ability to discern the truth, resist external pressures, and deliver a just judgment is foremost on your mind. The Genocide Convention, a cornerstone of international law, was established in 1948 as a commitment to 'never again' allow atrocities akin to those committed by the Nazi’s in WW2. 152 states out of 194 nations of the world honourably signed up to the convention. It is a testament to our parents and grandparents that their generations committed to a set of standards that constitute the basic principles of right and wrong, which underpin the fabric of the world we live in and form the basis of the lives most of us are lucky enough to lead.
The very fact that the responsibility of adjudicating on this case has fallen upon your shoulders underscores a disheartening truth – the failure of existing systems of checks and balances within the international community. It is disconcerting that national interests have tainted the operations of our global systems, allowing the mass killing of civilians to persist without intervention. I find this reality appalling, as do countless citizens around the world who have expressed their horror through protests on the streets of cities across the globe.
The upcoming case is a litmus test for humanity's commitment to the solemn pledge of 'Never Again.' Generations have been educated about the horrors of the Holocaust, and this case challenges us to live up to the principles we profess. It is a stark reminder that the values we hold dear are being tested in real-time, with devastating consequences.
In March 2022, the International Court of Justice ordered Russia to immediately suspend military operations in Ukraine and ensure that affiliated units take no further steps in furtherance of the military operations. Despite this intervention, an estimated 10,000 civilians have tragically lost their lives in Ukraine since Russia's military operation in 2022. Moreover, and by comparison, the death toll in Gaza has already surpassed 22,000 since October 2023, with a staggering 70% of the victims being women and children.
In an age where mainstream media faces scepticism due to perceived biases, the global community has been witness to Israel's actions in real-time through various social media platforms such as X, TikTok, and Telegram. Enclosed with this letter, you'll find compelling evidence pointing towards Israel's culpability in intending to commit genocide and engaging in genocidal military actions, among other alleged war crimes.
We find ourselves in a world where trust in global institutions is eroding rapidly. The International Court of Justice, in particular, cannot afford to make an erroneous judgment in the #SouthAfrica v. #Israel genocide case. A misjudgement in this matter would not only underscore the ICJ's ineffectiveness but also prompt scrutiny regarding its autonomy from nation-state political influences, potentially compromising the esteemed moral character of the individuals involved.
In 1945 we celebrated Winston Churchill as the leader that brought the world together in war to put-down the threat of Nazi Germany and the horror it inflicted. That war claimed over 50 million lives. We do not wish to celebrate a wartime hero again; we wish to celebrate new heroes who averted a war by presiding over justice without fear or favour.
I humbly beseech you to approach this case with the utmost diligence, impartiality, and commitment to justice. The eyes of the world are upon you, and the outcome of this particular case will reverberate through history, shaping perceptions of the ICJ's impartiality and moral standing.
Yours sincerely,
(Insert Name)

They won’t be able to hide from the truth..
Quite extraordinarily, in reporting the devastation of ravaged houses and burnt and crumpled cars from Hamas' October 7 attack, journalists have completely ignored not only testimonies from Israeli survivors, Israeli witnesses and Israeli military personnel but the visual evidence staring them in the face.
The media have simply stuck with the official Israeli narrative, whatever new information turns up.
There are plenty of more-than-obvious questions no one is asking - and for which no answers are ever likely to be forthcoming.
How did Hamas wreak such widescale and intense devastation when its fighters’ own videos show them mostly bearing light arms?
Were those carrying basic RPGs capable of accurately tracking and hitting hundreds of fast-moving vehicles fleeing the Nova festival - and doing so from ground level?
Video footage from Hamas body-cams shows cars leaving the festival with both gunmen and hostages inside. Why would Hamas risk incinerating its own people?
Given Hamas’ keenness to film its triumphs, why is there no footage of such actions? And why would Hamas waste its most prized ammunition on random attacks on cars rather than save it for the far more difficult task of attacking Israeli military bases?
Israel appears not to be interested in investigating the burnt-out cars and wrecked homes, possibly because it already knows the answers and fears that others may one day find out the truth too.
With religious organisations demanding that the cars be hurriedly buried to preserve the sanctity of the dead, the metal skeletons will take their secrets to the grave.

Israel can never defeat Hamas because it is, first and foremost, a resistance movement. They could kill Sinwar, Deif, and Haniyeh, and the next generation of orphaned boys turned to men would replace them. As long as occupation exists, so too will resistance. Images like this are Hamas’s best recruiting tool. Israel creates the most effective pro-Hamas propaganda.
Surprise surprise.. Israel does it again.
