Quoting Stephen Kapos on the duty to stand against injustice:

[...] I say this as a Holocaust Survivor that the genocide in Gaza, is not happening in my name and in our name. The way that the Israeli government is using the memory of the Holocaust in order to justify what they're doing to the Gazans is a complete insult to the memory of the Holocaust it's an outrage. When I saw the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations putting on a yellow star it was stomach turning. Somebody who had to wear a yellow star like myself and my entire family I'm insulted by that.

[...] What distinguishes the Jewish Holocaust is its industrial scale and industrial methods being applied. And what has been happening to Gaza is similar in that the scale of the bombing and the indiscriminate nature of the bombing the complete lack of care about children and women being the majority of the victims amounts to Industrial scale of genocide.

[...] Some of the actions of the Nazi state in dehumanising and completely cruel large scale killings etc, if it is repeated I don't see why you couldn't make the parallel it can only be helpful in understanding what's going on to make the parallel I don't think there should be any taboo against that.

[...] I felt it completely incomprehensible really how you can do anything but totally condemn quite clear genocide and anybody who doesn't do that it will be Revisited on him or her to to look back on to be on the wrong side of history and and seriously guilty and that goes for the UK government to Keir Stramer and the shadow cabinet and some of the church leaders, the chief rabbi completely identifies with Israel and Zionism.

[...] I think it's important to stand up against this conflation that is propagated between Jewishness and Zionism if you do not stand up and criticize it and divorce yourself from it, then it sort of besmirches all Jews basically...

#Gaza / Bodies rot in streets as Israel's siege of Northern Gaza's Beit Lahiya creates catastrophic conditions

A devastating portrait of Beit Lahiya reveals corpses decomposing in streets, some crushed by Israeli military vehicles, as residents face starvation under complete siege. The city has been subjected to relentless bombardment aimed at forcing Palestinians out, with estimates of 65,000-80,000 people still trapped there. Residents report seeing dogs devouring bodies, wounded people bleeding to death without aid, and survivors drinking unclean water while sheltering in damaged buildings "on the verge of collapsing."

[…] “The situation in northern Gaza, specifically in Beit Lahiya, is extremely catastrophic,” Basal stressed, adding that Israel is dropping large missiles on residential buildings “without prior warning and with residents still inside.” He and his staff, he said, “are working in extremely difficult conditions due to the Israeli targeting of our teams. We have no equipment. We search for those trapped and pull victims from under the rubble using primitive methods.”

Despite Israel's claims of facilitating humanitarian aid, witnesses describe a military blockade with snipers preventing food and medical supplies from entering, while drones and armored vehicles continue systematic destruction of residential areas. Multiple mass-casualty strikes have killed hundreds, including large numbers of children.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Quoting Moshe Ya'alon (Former IDF Chief of Staff and Defense Minister): "We're being dragged into occupation, annexation, ethnic cleansing. Look at northern Gaza. Transfer - call it what you want. And settlement, Jewish settlement, that's the issue."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ya'alon stated in an interview with Lucy Aharish on Democrat TV that Israel is being dragged into ethnic cleansing in #Gaza. Speaking about the current situation, Ya'alon explicitly described the systematic emptying of northern Gaza's Palestinian population, stating "there is no Beit Lahia, no Beit Hanoun, they're operating in Jabalia, and essentially clearing the area of Arabs."

He emphasized that this is being done to establish Jewish settlements, adding that according to polls, two-thirds of Israeli society supports both a liberal Jewish state and separation from Palestinians. Ya'alon warned that "whoever is trying to confuse us is leading us to nothing less than destruction."
