There is understandably a lot of media & social media focus on Israel's deliberate killing of humanitarian aid workers in Gaza recently, 6 of whom were foreigners, 1 who was Palestinian (who not surprisingly has gotten virtually no media attention).

Israel claims it was unintentional, though logic dictates otherwise (the Israeli targeting one after another of the marked vehicles which had coordinated with the Israeli army to deliver the aid...as well as Israel's track record of deliberately bombing hospitals, ambulances & convoys, starved unarmed Palestinians lining up for aid, and on and on...).

However, while any murder of aid workers is tragic, somehow the murder of countless Palestinian aid workers, doctors, medics, rescuers, journalists and civilians doesn't evoke the outrage & compassion we are seeing & hearing now (albeit much of it is lip service from Western hypocrites who enable the ongoing Israeli genocide of Gaza).

We've seen this in Syria. We've seen this in Lebanon. We've seen this in the Donbass. Certain lives matter when media & social media tell you to care.

According to UNRWA, Israel has killed 176 UNRWA staff since October 7. It is safe to assume they were mostly, if not all, Palestinians.

Anera, the second largest humanitarian organization in Gaza, reports members of its organization have been killed by the Israeli army.

And this:

"The Popular and Tribal Committees for Securing Aid in Gaza Governorate and Northern Gaza announced on Sunday suspending aid provision due to the ongoing Israeli strikes targeting their members waiting for trucks on Salah al-Din Street - Kuwait Roundabout.
The Israeli occupation forces have committed several massacres against the committee's members, resulting in the martyrdom of over 70 people."

📷 Earlier this morning, the Israeli enemy aggressively shelled Aita al-Shaab village with a crazy 60 phosphorus shells, and 20 artillery and tank shells each.

"Donetsk and Gorlovka are under enemy fire all day long.

Since 16:00, at least 30 shells of 155 mm caliber were fired into the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk alone."

When I was last in Kuibyshevsky, I met this man.

No one (in Western media) talks about the 1000s of Palestinian hostages kidnapped by the terrorist Zionist entity, decades before October 7.

Prisoners institutions report that from October 7th, 2023 to March 19th, 2024, over 7,670 Palestinians have been abducted in the West Bank.

• This includes 246 women, including those abducted in the occupied interior, and 500 children.
• 61 journalists have been abducted, 40 of whom remain imprisoned, and 23 of which are in administrative detention without charge or trial.
• 4,343 administrative detention orders were given after October 7th, a record high.

"Resistance is the way for liberation.

You don’t ask to be given freedom, you snatch it from the hands of your occupiers.

Palestinians will be freed by their Resistance, all else is complementary to that effort."

For those unaware of the poignancy of Yarmouk celebrating Quds Day, anti-Syrian propagandists tried to blame the Syrian government for Yarmouk (a district in Damascus comprising ~1 million Syrians & 160,000 Palestinian refugees) being badly destroyed during the war. These propagandists conveniently omitted the presence of terrorists, including ISIS, in Yarmouk and that the Syrian army and allies were fighting to expel them in order for the Palestinian and Syrian inhabitants to be able to return.

Meanwhile, the Syrian government was housing displaced from Yarmouk, feeding them, giving them medical care...not exactly "oppressing" them. But propagandists don't care about facts and realities on the ground.

To see Yarmouk celebrating Quds Days is both a beautiful show of solidarity with occupied Palestine and, frankly, a middle finger to the NATO alliance war mongers who sought to destroy Syria and divide Syrians and Palestinians. ❤️🇵🇸🇸🇾

-From my October 2015, Deconstructing the NATO Narrative on Syria:

"...the plight of Yarmouk has been used by “humanitarian” campaigners to pull at heartstrings and to further confuse supporters of Palestine on the subject of Syria and the State’s treatment of Palestinians. In fact, Syria has been one of Palestine’s greatest advocates and friends, providing Palestinian refugees in Syria with a quality of life equal to that of Syrians, including free education, health care and other social services.

The United Nations, the HR industry, and the media obfuscate on Yarmouk, ignoring or whitewashing both the presence of various terrorist groups. Talking heads also pointedly ignore the Syrian government-facilitated evacuations of Yarmouk residents to government, community, and UN provided shelters. They likewise ignore the documented repeated and continuous terrorists attacks on government and other aid distribution within the neighbourhood, as well as on anti-terrorist demonstrations held by Yarmouk residents.

...Most media and HR groups are not reporting that there are Palestinian fighters fighting alongside the SAA, in Yarmouk and other parts of Syria, against the NATO-alliance’s fighters...'"



-From my May 2014, In Syria, Life Goes On Despite Everything:

"...As I sit outside the old city walls one afternoon, roughly one hundred metres from East Gate, bullets whiz closely past me & a handful of Syrians seeking shade nearby, coming from the direction of Jobar, a terrorist stronghold. [see: Not only mortars, but gunfire too, on Damascus]

A school in Zahara neighbourhood of Damascus has been converted into a shelter for displaced Syrians and Palestinians from Yarmouk. The children shine with bright smiles, the adults have tales of sorrow from their experiences and from being displaced by the snipers and other attacks by the armed gangs. They all say the same thing: “The rebels, those terrorists, came into Yarmouk, we had to leave...”



-From my March 2016, "Syria Dispatch: Most Syrians Support Assad, Reject Phony Foreign ‘Revolution’":

"...IDPs from the Yarmouk district spoke of terrorists taking over their homes, stealing food, sniping at them. Most wanted to go home. ...The government continues to send or facilitate entry of aid into the district. As with Madaya, that aid is often stolen by terrorists for their own use or for extortionist re-sale.

In December 2015, on my second visit to Yarmouk, Palestinian leadership informed me the vast majority of the former population had left or been evacuated. Around 5-6000 people remained, including fighters and those supporting the militants. I was able to enter roughly 400 metres into the district before Palestinian soldiers accompanying me stopped me: told me to go any further would be to welcome a sniper’s bullet."

"This is how the bodies of hundreds of Palestinian children appear in Gaza due to burns inflicted by American and European weapons supplied to Israel. 12-year-old Omar Al-Husari suffers from burns covering nearly 70% of his body during the bombing of his home. Omar is currently hospitalized at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. #GazaGenocide"

🚨 45 Palestinians were abducted by the IOF in the last day, including three women, according to the Prisoners' Club and Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Commission.

The arrests were concentrated in #AlQuds, after the worshipers left the Al-Aqsa Mosque for prayer, while the others were distributed across the West Bank.

This brings the number of zionist abductions in the West Bank to 8,080 since October 7th.

Thank you, Andrei 🙏🏻

"A child of the Avdeevsky basements, four-year-old Dima immediately rushed into my arms and hugged me. The parents hid the baby for two years from the Ukrainian cannibals “White Angel”. The family was waiting for Russia. He also threw himself into the arms of a Russian soldier. For the baby, the nightmare of half his life is over. They are with us now. But his mother still holds his hand at night. And so far he only plays with military toys, tanks. What he actually saw on the streets of Avdkevka, until the Ukrainian troops fled the city. Peaceful sky to you, baby. The hero of our future film.❤️🇷🇺"
