[Excellent article]

"A second #Nakba is unfolding, not in secret, not whispered through trembling lips, not passed as rumours between fleeing survivors, but in the full, merciless light of day.

It is live-streamed. Captioned. Digitised. A genocide unfolding in high definition and real time.

This is no echo of 1948. It is its evolution. Its mutation. The same machinery of erasure, now upgraded, modernised, militarised, and globally broadcast.

More ruthless.

More unapologetic."

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — As pressure mounts to get more aid into #Gaza, #Israel appears to be changing tack and may let aid groups operating in the battered enclave remain in charge of non-food assistance while leaving food distribution to a newly established U.S.-backed group, according to a letter obtained by #TheAssociatedPress.

"Several Palestinians and soldiers told the #AP that #Israeli troops are systematically forcing #Palestinians to act as human shields in #Gaza, sending them into buildings and tunnels to check for explosives or militants. The dangerous practice has become ubiquitous during 19 months of war, they said. "

Younis Al-Khatib, president of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, told reporters in Geneva that Al-Nassasrah was spared after he pleaded in Hebrew and said his mother was a #Palestinian citizen of #Israel.

"What does Assad say in Hebrew? 'Don't shoot. I am Israeli.' And the soldier got a bit confused," he told reporters. "That confusion ... made him survive."
