🇵🇸 A new report based on open source evidence backs up figures released by the Palestinian health ministry on the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza since 7 October, despite claims by the US and Israel that the death toll cannot be trusted.
According to an Airwars investigation that independently identified nearly 3,000 full names of civilian victims killed in the first 17 days of the war, the ministry’s figures are “broadly reliable” in spite of the difficulties involved in assessing the casualties.
Since October, the health ministry has regularly released updates of the number of Palestinians killed by Israel’s assault.

82. ICJ says Israel’s occupation is illegal
Mondoweiss
🇵🇸 On July 19, the International Court of Justice, or #ICJ, ruled that Israel’s occupation of #Gaza, the #WestBank, and East #Jerusalem (#OPT) is illegal and must end immediately.
Palestinians, of course, have been saying this for years. The court stated that Israel must halt all new settlement construction, evacuate #settlers, and pay reparations to Palestinians, calling some of Israel’s policies “#Apartheid.”
The ruling emphasizes the #occupation’s illegality and highlights the need for international #accountability and policy shifts. This historic ruling, though non-binding, challenges Israel’s legal defenses for the first time.
With #CraigMokhiber, an international human rights lawyer and activist, and a former senior United Nations human rights official. Craig served at the U.N. for over three decades. In October 2023, he left the U.N, criticizing the organization’s human rights failures regarding Israel’s actions to Gaza, warning of #genocide in Gaza.

🇵🇸 War Drums in Washington: Netanyahu’s True Ambitions Laid Bare
Israel is participating at the Olympics in Paris while Russia is banned, despite killing at least 80% fewer civilians in Ukraine than Israel has killed in #Gaza.
No more explicit was this hypocrisy demonstrated than on Wednesday, July 24, when Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu, a man with a pending #ICC arrest warrant for crimes against humanity, addressed #USCongress in order to shore up support for his political survival and request more weapons for his “war” against #Hamas.
The main thrust of his speech was thematically organized by the supposed war between civilization (the West) and barbarism (Iran), mobilizing imperialistic language that would have made even Winston Churchill proud. During his 60-minute speech, he received 58 standing ovations from Congress in a bi-partisan spectacle of unquestioning adamantine support for Israel and its congressionally anointed king.

🇵🇸 Israel is in a death spiral. Who will it take down with it? | J.Cook
Why should it be of any surprise that Israel’s self-proclaimed “most moral army in the world” uses #torture and #rape against Palestinians?
After all, this is the same military that for 10 months has used #starvation as a weapon of war against the 2.3 million people of #Gaza, half of them children.
It is the same military that since October has laid waste to all of Gaza’s hospitals, as well as destroying almost all of its schools and 70 percent of its homes. It is the same military that is known to have killed over that period at least 40,000 Palestinians, with a further 21,000 children missing.
It is the same military currently on trial for #genocide at the International Court of Justice (#ICJ), the highest court in the world.
If there are no red lines for Israel when it comes to brutalising Palestinian civilians trapped inside Gaza, why would there be any red lines for those kidnapped off its streets and dragged into its dungeons?

🇵🇸 Gaza: Israeli Forces Open Fire While Storming Home - Investigate Unlawful Killings of Eight Civilians | Human Rights Watch
IOF stormed a Gaza City home on December 21, 2023, throwing grenades inside and opening fire on a room where a civilian family was sheltering.
The attack killed eight people, including a pregnant woman, and severely injured two, including a 5-year-old. Witnesses also allege that Israeli forces shot a blind 73-year-old man after securing the building and forcing all other family members out. The incident should be investigated as a possible war crime, and forces involved should be held accountable.
“I couldn’t move, and I couldn’t hear anything because the explosions made me temporarily lose my hearing. I quickly lost consciousness,” one of the survivors said. He added that he realized the next day that he was lying under a pile of bodies.

🇵🇸 Gaza: Israel targets shelter schools in systematic forced evacuation of the displaced people of Gaza
Palestinian Territory - The Israeli army is increasingly targeting schools that provide shelter for the displaced population in Gaza City, killing and wounding hundreds of them in the process. It has also issued orders for the illegal forced evacuation of Gaza from the north to the south, in a systematic effort fueled by revenge to drive residents from their homes and places of displacement and rob them of any stability.
In just eight days, Israeli aircraft attacked nine schools in Gaza City that served as shelters for thousands of displaced people. They destroyed the schools above the heads of the occupants, killing 79 Palestinians and injuring 143 more—mostly women and children—in addition to several other victims who were buried beneath the rubble and could not be retrieved due to the lack of the necessary tools.

🇵🇸 In Gaza, we deeply understand the meaning of love, how to love, and our bond with nature is as strong as roots in the earth. We were raised with this. We love the birds, trees, sky, and animals, and we know how to care for them. By nature, we love peace. In the picture, it's as if the girl holding her little bird restores its light and reminds us that hope is born from the womb of pain.

🇵🇸 The World Court has ended the Oslo ruse - Kraig Morkhiber for Mondoweiss
The ICJ’s ruling that international law protects the rights of Palestinians, and they need not negotiate with their oppressors for those rights, dealt a definitive blow to decades of Western efforts to situate Israel outside the reach of the law.
Israel is on trial for genocide in the International Court of Justice (the #ICJ). The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (#ICC) has requested arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders for crimes against humanity. Millions of people across the globe, Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, Christians, students, workers, and others, are mobilized to challenge Israeli settler-colonialism, #apartheid, and #genocide. The 76-year-old wall of impunity, built brick-by-brick by the #US, the #UK, and other Western governments, is beginning to crumble.
