Palestine

Israel’s instrumentality in the decades-long civil war and state-sponsored genocide of the Indigenous Maya provides critical context for the genocide of Palestinians today.

>> “We are appalled by the reported killing of 15 Palestinians, including nine children and four women, who were waiting in line for nutritional supplies for children in Deir al Balah, the Gaza Strip, this morning. An additional 30 people were reportedly injured, including 19 children.

>> “This assistance was being provided by Project Hope, a #UNICEF partner organization, to families in desperate need. The killing of families trying to access life-saving aid is unconscionable.

>> “These were mothers seeking a lifeline for their children after months of hunger and desperation…

The documentary is a difficult but necessary watch: a thorough, objective, evidence-based exposure of crimes against the Palestinian population—and the conscious targeting of medics and healthcare workers in Gaza. Some 1,500 healthcare workers have been killed by Israeli forces and hundreds more detained, imprisoned and disappeared since October 2023.

Israel enforcing Gaza evacuations with grenade-firing drones: The Israeli army is weaponizing Chinese-made drones to police expulsion orders across Gaza, with soldiers saying they deliberately target civilians so others will ‘learn’ not to return ... (+972 Magazine, 2025-07-10)

>> According to interviews with seven soldiers and officers who served in the Strip, these drones are operated manually by troops on the ground, and are frequently used to bomb Palestinian civilians — including children — in an effort to force them to leave their homes or prevent them from returning to evacuated areas.

>> Soldiers most commonly use EVO drones, produced by the Chinese company Autel, which are primarily intended for photography ... However, with a military-issued attachment known internally as an “iron ball,” a hand grenade can be affixed to the drone and dropped with the push of a button to detonate on the ground...

Same parent company as Magic Seas. Multiple ships from the parent company have delivered to Israel within the last year, making the fleet Israeli aligned.

According to Ansarallah it was delivering to Israel instead of its Saudi destination. However that might be a pretense.

Dr. Victoria Rose spent 21 days in the territory in May, treating people who were shot trying to get food and children with life-changing injuries from Israeli bombs.

"Dr. Rose went straight to the emergency room at Nasser Hospital where she was based, arriving around 8 a.m. It is the last major hospital still functioning in southern Gaza.

“There were ambulances coming in, just bringing dead people, and then there were donkey-drawn carts bringing dead people,” she recalled in an interview in London. “By about 10 o’clock, we had 20 or so dead bodies, and then easily a hundred or so gunshot wounds.”"

"Across the UK and around the world, the tide has turned. From musicians chanting at Glastonbury, to students occupying campuses, to doctors’ unions passing motions of solidarity, public opinion has shifted. People are demanding an end to active participation in genocide and ethnic cleansing.

The votes two weeks ago at the British Medical Association’s annual representative meeting - the largest gathering of doctors in the UK - are a powerful symbol of that shift."
