[1 of 2 parts of a dispatch from #JewishCurrents, with an intro by #WorldOutlook]
April 30, 2026

In Nov.-Dec.2025, Jewish Currents reached out to some two dozen Palestinians from #Gaza and the #WestBank — all of whom the magazine had previously interviewed after October 7 — to ask them how their lives had changed since they last shared their stories.

The resulting testimonies are difficult to read. They show the effects of years of industrialized, live-broadcast massacres and colonization, particularly in Gaza, where more than 10% of the population is estimated to have been killed or injured in the last two years.

“What all the voices share is disillusionment: with the political parties #Hamas and #Fatah; with supposed allies like #Arab countries; with international systems such as the #UN; and with notions of international law and justice writ large..."

Gaza and the West Bank: Dispatches from Catastrophe (I)

At the end of 2025, Jewish Currents reached out to about two dozen Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank — all of whom the magazine had previously interviewed after the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 — to ask them how their lives had changed since they last shared their stories. “The resulting testimonies are difficult to read,” says the introduction to these stories. “They show the effects of years of industrialized, live-broadcast massacres and colonization, particularly in Gaza, where more than 10% of the population is estimated to have been killed or injured in the last two years." This is the first of two parts.

#TheJerusalemPost rapporte un dĂ©lire de Jamal Obeid, une des tĂȘtes du #Fatah qui aurait accusĂ© #Israel d'utiliser des rats pour "attaquer les enfants".
Ils ont l’honnĂȘtetĂ© de mentionner dans le dernier ̌paragraphe, que pour #Gaza l' #OMS rapporte + de 17000 cas d’« infestations liĂ©es aux rongeurs » au cours de l’annĂ©e Ă©coulĂ©e mais aussi que + de 80% des sites de "dĂ©placement" signalent des infections de la peau, telle que la gale, poux et punaises.
Par contre 0 mention des causes "probables" de cette propagation...
La destruction, le déplacement et le meurtre de masse à tendance à causer ça... entre beaucoup d'autre choses...

The Palestine Papers and the "Gaza coup"

An initial reading of the Palestine Papers provides details of hitherto unknown secret, high-level "Quadripartite" meetings among Israeli, American, Egyptian and Palestinian officials whose explicit goal appears to have been to undermine the Palestinian national unity government.
