Gladwyn d’Souza“This Friday marks the grim occasion of the 300th day of the Genocide in Gaza, 300 unbearable days during which the Palestinian civilian population have been relentless bombed, murdered, maimed, forcibly evacuated and displaced countless times, shot at, tortured, lost whole families, and are now dying too in increasing numbers due to a policy of deliberate starvation by Israel blocking vital aid coming in,” event organisers say.

On Thursday, Dexter Filkins, staff writer at The New Yorker magazine, spoke to the National Public Radio (NPR), an American public broadcasting organization, describing the munitions’ hugely adverse effects and the intent behind their application by Tel Aviv.
“White phosphorus breaks up in the air and basically you see these flaming chunks going, scattering all over the place and then it just burns and burns and burns, and it burns very slowly,” he said.
Filkins said the regime was using the bombs to destroy the farmlands and crops on Lebanon’s border with the occupied Palestinian territories,

“The Night Won’t End”: New Film Investigates Civilian Killings in Gaza and U.S. Backing of Israeli Assault
In a special broadcast, we feature part of our recent in-depth interview about The Night Won’t End, a new documentary from Al Jazeera English which takes an in-depth look at attacks on civilians by the Israeli military in Gaza and the United States’ role in the war. The film follows three Palestinian families as they recount the horrific experiences they have endured under relentless Israeli assault, including the family of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, the young Palestinian girl who made headlines when it emerged in January that she had been trapped in a car with family members killed by Israeli ground troops, and the Salem family, who first lost dozens of family members in an Israeli airstrike and then additional family members who were executed by Israeli soldiers. We play clips from the documentary and speak to journalists Kavitha Chekuru and Sharif Abdel Kouddous, the director and correspondent on The Night Won’t End, respectively. We also discuss the plight of journalists in Gaza and U.S. complicity in Israel’s war. “There’s no question that U.S. weapons have killed civilians in Gaza,” says Kouddous. “This violates both international humanitarian law and domestic law.”
How did Iran develop the technology to strike military targets and avoid civilian casualties when the Western #AxisOfGenocide can't avoid hospitals, universities, white flags, poets, Mother Teresa, and kindergartens?

The interminable and abhorrent saga of Julian Assange’s incarceration for the crime of journalism continues… there is nothing normal – or legal – about the proceedings against Assange. The case has always been about buying time. To disappear Assange from public view. To vilify him. To smash the revolutionary publishing platform he founded to help whistleblowers expose state crimes. To send a message to other journalists that the US can reach them wherever they live should they try to hold Washington to account for its criminality.

#GenocideJoeKnows: The Washington Post says
Joe Biden knew Israel was indiscriminately bombing (hospitals mosques schools universities in) Gaza as early as weeks after October 7th. And instead of stopping the bombing by cutting off aid he circumvented Congress to give Bibi more weapons. No red lines he said. Yesterday's shocking report revealed that on October 27th Biden privately disclosed in a small White House meeting that Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were
legitimate military targets.
November 16th Biden defended Israel's first ground Invasion into Gaza's largest hospital Al Shifa he claiming that Hamas had a military headquarter under the hospital, “you have a circumstance where the first war crime is being committed by Hamas by having their headquarters their military hidden under a hospital and that's a
fact.”
