Picture of the sons of #Hamas leader Ismail Hinyeh who were murdered by an Israeli strike on #Gaza today
They were among 100s of palestinians murdered by Israeli missiles and artillery attacks against Palestinians celebrating the end of the holy month of #Ramadan.
there are multiple reports from different parts of Gaza of Israeli bombings of people gathering to celebrate the end of Ramadan and the "Eid Al Fitr"
On hospital in Rafah have received over 120 casualties and eyewitness reports saying that this can be the single deadliest day of the conflict in the past 4 months.
The casualties are mostly women and children who were celebrating the ending of the holy month of Ramadan.
CBS News: "The U.S. has picked up intelligence that Iran is planning a retaliatory attack that would include a swarm of Shahed-136 loitering drones and cruise missiles. Officials say the timing and target are unknown, but a proportional response to the #Damascus attack would be to hit an Israeli diplomatic facility. The attack is likely to come between now and the end of #Ramadan next week.
Another important unknown is where the drones and missiles would be launched — from Iraq or Syria, which could prompt a thin claim of deniability by #Tehran — or from Iranian territory."
It's sickening to read all the garbage posts about Iranian attack against Israel which has absolute 0 intelligence value, but perfect propaganda tool, draw attention away from horrendous war crimes of Israel in and around Al Shifa hospital and the murder of #WCK volunteers.
And forgot about the fact that Israel literally declared war on Iran and there are no "proportional" response to such declaration than an all out war.
That is exactly what Netanyahu has been dreaming about so #GenocideJoe and "defensive" #NATO comes to his rescue.
[…] The White House held a scaled-down #iftar dinner on Tuesday to celebrate Islam's holy month of #Ramadan, after some invitees turned the president down over frustrations in the Muslim community over his policy toward the Israel-Gaza war.
[…] Emgage Action, a Muslim American advocacy group, said it declined an invitation to Tuesday's dinner, citing Biden's "continued unconditional military aid to Israel," which they say has led to a "humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions."
[…] One of the attendees, Dr. Thaer Ahmad, an emergency room doctor who spent at least three weeks in Gaza, told CNN that he walked out of Tuesday's meeting before it ended.
[…] "Out of respect for my community, out of respect for all of the people who have suffered and who have been killed in the process, I needed to walk out of the meeting," Ahmad said.
Jordanians took to the streets of Aman in the 8th consecutive night to protest against Israeli embassy that is heavily guarded by police and the military.
The hand written sign says "we will not stop until all the shameful agreements and the peace deal have been revoced".

it is satire, but had to check it out before posting. Wouldn't surprise me if Netanyahu said something that outrageous.
The Israeli government has put out a statement giving well wishes to everyone taking part in Ramadan this year, saying that they are only blocking food from entering the Gaza out of respect for the tradition.
“People claim we have no respect for the lives of those we want to wipe out,” said Netanyahu, “but we understand that Ramadan has started and we are doing everything in our power to stop those observing the tradition in Palestine from breaking it by making it that there is no food for them to eat. We are really heroic in that way.”
