Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Deir Yassin Massacre, when hundreds of armed Zionist militiamen from the pre-1948 #Irgun and #Stern gangs committed one of the cruelest massacres in the history of Palestine.
On April 9, 1948, Zionist gangs raided the village of Deir Yassin, west of #Jerusalem, killing nearly 250 Palestinian civilians, mainly women, children and the elderly. Cases of rape, mutilation and humiliation were documented.
Of nearly 70 #massacres during the 1948 #Nakba, Deir Yassin would become one of those atrocities where almost all the acts of war criminality were unleashed: killing, destruction, pillaging, rape, and displacement.
#DeirYassin is a powerful symbol of Palestinian dispossession, as well as a historical fact that the occupying Israeli regime must confront when retelling its national narrative.
@tzafrir@fuller there are no civility with genocide apologists.
this is not war, there are no realities in this conflict.
It is the whole world against people who have lived the past 75 years as second class citizens as best or "human animals" as they are being refereed to.
I am sure the historical "exaggerated" in the sick minds of disgusting people like are similar to those who deny the 34000murdered palestinians, despite the fact that health minstry have provided name, Israeli registration number and address of every single one they were able to identify,not including some 14000 still missing and resumed dead under 10s of thousands tons of rubble.
your disgusting comment is in par with the language of Neo Nazis who question the Nazi Holocaust
A Palestinian journalist went to visit her brothers' graves in Khan Yunis after the Israeli occupation withdrew, only to find nothing but rubble and destruction. Israeli bulldozers had razed the cemetery before leaving.
Last month, communication was lost with 94-year-old Naifa Rizq after the surprise Israeli military invasion of Al Shifa Hospital. Yesterday, her sons discovered her home engulfed in flames by the Israeli army. Inside, they found her charred remains on her bed.
Israel is hiding their evidence of their war crimea by setting Palestinian houses on fire before leaving.
Sadly, the world is standing by and watching these crimes to go unpunished and unpublished.
@CanadianCrone And there are people on Mastodon who openly act in support of this ongoing genocide and pretend it is a "war" and these are "collateral damage".
@Lassielmr Rightfully so, their unconditional support of the ongoing genocide and the fascist coalition government of Netanyahu/Ben-Gvir is nauseating and needs to be stopped.
Sadly, US is too strong and too vengeful for anyone to dare to bring to ICJ so they are going after the one that claims to have learned from the history and teaching the world about how wrong it is to support an ongoing genocide.
I wish we had gone the same way with France in Rwanda, but the corrupt government of Rwanda chose who make a deal with EU, via UK instead.
Israel have removed all combat units from Gaza except the buffet zone dividing Gaza
In a surprise move, all combat soldiers and armoured battalions were ordered to immediately retreat from southern Gaza.
The buffet zone is cutting northern Gaza from the rest of the strait and IDF preventing palestinians from returning to the north and stopping all humanitarian aid to enter the isolated region
I don't agree with this, and I think a few ballots during US election primaries made the magic of making Biden realize he actually has power to end the ongoing Genocide.
Maybe the person who posted it is right, but I'm guessing it is premature and naive to think Israel is actually listening to the US, but instead, Israel is planning for a much bigger, much deadlier and more "internationally acceptable" war against Lebanon and Syria to stop the "Iranian threat".
But only time will show who is right and who is not.
Me, I'm just happy that the daily terror against millions of palestinians have decreased and there is a small chance that the Egyptians will open the Rafah border crossing to allow 100s of daily trucks needed to keep Palestinians from starving and hopefully letting palestinian farmers to go back and harvest their land destroyed by IDF and the those in need of acute medical help to leave Gaza and seek help somewhere else.
But don't get your hopes up that the blood thirsty Netanyahu and his fascist cabinet are going to admit that they have lost the war and didn't achieve any of the goals they set up before the Gaza invasion, except for making it uninhabitable.
After global pressure and outcry against Israeli attacks against members of WCK that led to death of 7 members, Israeli government have officially apologied for the "mistake" and blamed the "accident" on Hamas.
This is another outrageous lie by IDF who targeted 3 different vehicles of WCK. Clearly marked by the group and their geo locations shared with Israeli military.
Do they really think we are stupid? That they accidentally attacked 3 vehicles from the same organization on 3 different locations by mistake?
This wasn't just another criminal action by IDF to prevent food distribution to starving Palestinians and to draw attention away from their horrible war crimes in and around #AlShifa Hospital?
They are finally reacting..
Are they afraid of their reelection and want to keep their fake progressive Image safe from criticism by those who want accountability,
Because it's really sad to see them break their deadly silence after almost 5 months of mass murder in Gaza and West Bank.

###A new batch of American weapons of 1800 MK84 missiles reach Tel Aviv from Washington.
These are 2000 pounds (085kg) bombs. Used by Israel to destroy large number of residential buildings in #Gaza before.
The weight of weapons sent by Pentagon during this shipment exceeds the total "humanitarian aid" US have sent to Gaza since the start of the Israeli attacks.
Remember the early days of the conflict when IDF bootlickers in the west were attacking us for suggesting that Israel is bombing Palestinian hospitals?
Now IDF is proudly shares images of the hospitals they are bombing and even give statistics about how many palestinians they have murdered.
So you hear any of those people now standing up and condemn these actions? Or they just conveniently silent and moved on to some more important issues?
US Senator Bernie #Sanders criticized the #Biden administration after reports emerged of the #US providing Israel with more bombs that were responsible for killing thousands of innocent Palestinians in #Gaza.
According to The Washington Post, the #Biden administration will authorize the transfer of 2,000-pound bombs and other weapons to Israel despite a growing divide with the Israeli government.
The new arms packages will include over 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, as reported by #Pentagon and State Department officials.
The 2,000-pound bombs have been associated with Israeli massacres of targeting and destroying civilian blocks in #Gaza, killing thousands of Palestinian women and children. The State Department has also approved the transfer of 25 F-35A fighter jets and engines, valued at approximately $2.5 billion, according to U.S. officials.
@Helgi Why are people like you always come up with shit like this acting like you know what you are talking about?
This is about #GenocideJoe sending bombs to a country comitting genocide against people who have no air defense, military or way of defending themselves.
These are 2000 pounds dropped in densely populated areas killing innocent people.
It has NOTHING to do with Russia or Soviet or freaking Ukraine.
@faab64@palestine@israel “In more than 70 phone calls and meetings with leaders from all over the world — from [US President Joe] Biden to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro — President Abbas always stressed that he's against what Hamas did on October 7 and that Hamas is not representative of the Palestinian people,”
Heartbreaking video of a desperate palestinian father speaking to his daughter who's stuck under rubbles of the building they were staying after Israeli bombings.
