🇵🇸 War Diaries: Israel’s Genocide in the Making in Gaza
| EuroMed HR Monitor

Since October 7, Israel has comprehensively and directly targeted civilian infrastructure; used extreme and unprecedented levels of disproportionate force; and showed near-total disregard for civilian lives; sparing almost nothing in its attacks on the Gaza Strip, Euro-Med Monitor concluded in a new report released on Tuesday. The Israeli assault on Gaza can only be described as a genocide in the making.

The report, titled “War Diaries: Israel’s Genocide in the Making in Gaza”, chronicles and highlights some of the most egregious Israeli actions in Gaza on a day-by-day basis, some of which may amount to war crimes and even crimes against humanity.

🇵🇸 U.S. spies have ‘wide range’ of facilities on UK’s Cyprus base near Gaza—and share material ‘daily’ with Israel | Declassified UK

US spies have widespread access to Britain’s bases on Cyprus and share information ‘daily’ with their Israeli counterparts, leaked top secret documents show.

The British so-called Sovereign Base Areas (#SBA) on Cyprus, which comprise 3% of the island’s landmass, sit just 200 miles from #Gaza. The bases are said to be the largest British #intelligence facilities outside of the #UK, although they have never been officially acknowledged.

“Cyprus hosts a wide range of UK and US intelligence facilities”, notes a top secret document from #GCHQ, Britain’s largest spy agency. The document adds: “#Cyprus collection facilities are acknowledged by #NSA as important assets”.

The main US spy agency working on the British territory in Cyprus is the National Security Agency (NSA).

🇵🇸 Why does Israel keep the bodies of Palestinians?

Dozens of Palestinian bodies have been confiscated by Israel in the occupied West Bank, since the war began on October 7.

Human rights organisations fear that many more are being taken away from Gaza and they may not be returned like several others whose remains have not been returned for years by Israeli authorities.

🇵🇸 Urinating on Prisoners: Why Humiliation is Functional in Israel’s War on Palestinians | Mint Press

Zionist militias, using advanced Western arms, conquered historic Palestine in 1947-48, they expressed their victory through the deliberate humiliation of Palestinians.

Much of that humiliation targeted women, in particular, knowing how the dishonor of Palestinian females represents, according to Arab culture, a sense of dishonor to the whole community.

This strategy remains in use to this day.When scores of Palestinian women were released following prisoner exchanges between the Palestinian Resistance and Israel, starting on November 24, there was very little room to hide the facts.

Unlike the 75-year-ago Palestinian community, this current generation no longer internalizes Israel’s intentional humiliation of women and men alike, as if an act of collective dishonor.

🇵🇸 Hamas, Fatah and the history of Palestine liberation | Azzam Tamimi | The Big Picture S3E02

The history of Palestinian liberation movements is paved with setbacks, betrayals and bitter rivalries.

What began as an attempt to unify the resistance against Israeli occupation has over time been undermined by regional and global political interests, ideological differences and disagreements over the justification, and use, of guerilla tactics.

Today the question of who represents Palestinian interests is hotly contested, with Hamas and Fatah vying for control, and a wave of dissatisfied young factions on the rise in Gaza and the West Bank.

British-Palestinian academic and political activist Dr Azzam Tamimi.

In the light of the ongoing violence in Gaza and Israel, and the devastating toll on civilian life, Dr Tamimi explains how these movements began, and why another Palestinian uprising is inevitable

The Palestinian Prisoners Society has said that 200 Palestinian children are currently being held in Israeli detention, with 23 of them from Gaza, who are being held in Megiddo in northern Israel.

The group released a statement to mark Palestinian Children’s Day on 5 April, proclaiming 2023 the “bloodiest year against Palestinian children, with more than 14,000 killed in Gaza in the last six months, in addition to the 117 killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”

🇵🇸 Devastation Into Dollars: Israeli Startups Are Making a Killing in Gaza

Despite calls across college campuses demanding divestment from Israel, one sector of the Israeli economy appears to be booming. Israeli startups raised over $1 billion in funding for the second straight month in May.

A number of these successful startups have participated in Israel’s ongoing war on the besieged Gaza Strip, suggesting genocide is a lucrative marketing tool for #business. Products like suicide #drones, smart guns, and robot dogs have all been deployed on the battlefield since October 2023, with some startups even exploiting the war to their advantage and touting their #technologies’ use in the war as an advertising boost

Israel’s government-owned and private companies alike have long promoted their weapons as “battle-tested,” with the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank serving as Israel’s homegrown weapons-testing laboratory.
