🇵🇸 Naji al-Ali was one of the most prominent cartoonists in the Arab world. Sarcastic, poignant and perhaps too bold, al-Ali’s cartoons were drawn from his experience as a Palestinian refugee since childhood and clearly reflected his political stance, which was often critical of the Arab regimes.

The following extracts are drawn from an interview with Radwa Ashour, novelist and professor of English literature at Ain Shams University, during the summer of 1984 in Budapest.. It was published in the periodical Al Muwagaha in 1985, only two years before al-Ali was assassinated in London in 1987 at the age of 50.

🇵🇸 UNOSAT Gaza Strip Agricultural Damage Assessment - November 2023

The decline in the health and density of the crops can be observed due to the impact of activities such as razing, heavy vehicle tracking, bombing, shelling, and other conflict-related dynamics. The analysis takes into account the damage that affects both active crop fields, fallow lands, and a multitude of household gardens. UNOSAT analysis shows that the agricultural extent in the Gaza Strip is estimated to be 185 sq. km, accounting for approximately 50% of the total area of Gaza. Compared to the average of the previous 6 years, approximately 15% of the arable land in the Gaza Strip has exhibited a significant decline in health and density in November 2023..

🇵🇸 Israel turns schools into military centres, conducting field executions and mass killings | EuroMed HR Monitor

Geneva - The Israeli army has turned schools sheltering tens of thousands of displaced people into military centres and field execution sites as part of its ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, which began on 7 October, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said on Wednesday.

Euro-Med Monitor received testimonies about Israeli army forces carrying out unjustified field executions and killings of Palestinian civilians after detaining them for days inside the same schools where they had sought refuge from the violence.

🇵🇸 Israel Is Wiping Out Gaza's Journalists, A Tribute | MintPress

As a Palestinian-American journalist who has lived under the oppressive shadow of Israeli #occupation and witnessed firsthand the relentless brutality of the #apartheid regime, I cannot remain silent as my people face relentless oppression and violence.

I recently became the recipient of the Women and Media Award from the Women's Institute of the Freedom of the Press. And while it's truly an honor to receive this recognition for the journalism that I direct at MintPress News, it's nearly impossible for me to revel in this accolade when my heart is weighed down heavily by the ongoing turmoil in Gaza.

I want to dedicate this award to the fearless journalists in Gaza who are risking their lives to show us the raw reality of life under Israeli bombs.

Israel admits to "immense" amount of "friendly fire" on 7 October | The Electronic Intifada –

Israel’s army on Tuesday admitted that an “immense and complex quantity” of what it calls “friendly fire” incidents took place on 7 October.
The key declaration was buried in the penultimate paragraph of an article by Yoav Zitun, the military correspondent of Israeli outlet Ynet.
It is the first known official army admission that a significant number of the hundreds of Israelis who died on 7 October were killed by Israel itself, and not by Hamas or other Palestinian resistance factions.
