Nearly 400 decomposing bodies uncovered in Khan Younis Nasser Hospital
At least 392 decomposing bodies have been uncovered so far from the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis by the Civil Defense in Gaza and locals aiding rescue workers, following Israeli occupation forces (IOF) withdrawal from the medical facility which they invaded at an earlier time.

As authorities continue to work on recovering the bodies of Palestinians who were killed during the siege of the hospital and its subsequent invasion by the Israeli military, the death toll increases by the day, unveiling the harrowing crimes committed by Israeli occupation forces in the medical facility.

Due to the decomposed nature of the body and the difficult circumstances experienced by both Palestinian authorities and citizens alike, 58% of the uncovered bodies are yet to be accurately identified, the Civil Defense said on Thursday.

Many of the recently dug-up bodies were evidently children's.

"We do not know the reason as to why bodies of children were present in the Nasser Hospital," authorities said, adding that there were clear signs of torture on several of the bodies.

The Civil Defense said that the occupation's military committed multiple field executions in the hospital, demanding that an international investigation be launched into the blatant war crimes.

Moreover, the occupation's troops worked on burying a number of bodies in large plastic body bags at a depth of 3 meters, which facilitated their decomposition. Authorities also revealed that the occupation reverted to atrocious practices by burying at least 20 people alive in the medical facility.

Israeli occupation forces also attempted to hide the evidence of their crimes by exchanging the body bags of certain bodies on several occasions.

This is not the first time that authorities have uncovered mass graves in hospitals in the Gaza Strip, following the conclusion of raids into hospitals. In fact, the occupation itself has admitted to executing dozens of Palestinians in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City at a previous time.

'Israel' crosses all red lines, works on dismantling Gaza's health sector

The Israeli occupation has made Gaza's medical facilities a main target of its war on the besieged territory, which goes in line with its policy of destroying the essentials of life in the Gaza Strip.

Almost every hospital or medical center in the Gaza Strip has come under direct attack by occupation forces, however, international organizations and states stand idly by, incapable of holding "Israel" accountable for its deliberate destruction of internationally protected places and individuals, i.e. hospitals, medical staff, patients, and refugees.

Growing calls for an independent investigation from states such as South Africa and even allies of the Israeli government have emerged as a result of the harrowing scenes being unraveled in Gaza.

Yet, only a few countries have taken direct action that equates to the level of crimes committed by the Israeli occupation in Palestine, while the majority of the Western-led world order has continued its backing for the Israeli occupation. This has raised serious questions regarding the effectiveness and impartiality of the international legal system and the work of multiple international and humanitarian organizations, which have failed to live up to their duties in stopping the blatant genocide of Palestinians.

‘Lunatic fringe-dwelling’ lefty: Actress claims Hamas did not rape women

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=w3nuQcVZ0kc

There are lots of videos on the forum from Rita Panahi of Sky News and some of them are okay, but lately she seems to be spewing out complete garbage news. The other day she did an utterly fake news story based on rumors on the internet about "furries" (students who identify as animals as are given special privileges to be abusive towards fellow students by their "woke" principal) at a school in Utah.

As anyone who read this thread knows by this time, the story about Hamas raping is Fake News produced by the New York Times, and has been thoroughly debunked, although the New York has refused to retract the story, and the media, which vigorously promoted the the fake "rape" stories, hasn't retracted their story. I guess Rita never got the memo not to cover the rape story from her ZioNazi overlords.

Some more photos I took of student protests against the Gaza genocide in New York City on April 23rd, 2024.

Protest in front of the New School, Fifth Avenue and 14th Street.


Protest at Washington Square Park by New York University Students.


Washington Square Park again, from another angle.


Unlike Columbia University, The New School and New York University (aka "NYU") do not have an enclosed green space, so outdoor demonstrations are on public property.

The focus of these protests is to get the Universities to disclose where their investments lie and divest themselves of stock from corporations that are supporting Israel and the suppression of Palestine and Palestinians, especially weapons and high tech companies.

🇾🇪⚔️🇮🇱🇺🇸🇬🇧 Seyyed Abdul Malik: British casualties and losses continue in the confrontation without results, as is the case with the Americans.

The British Chamber of Commerce revealed that the operation in Yemen has damaged 55% of the exporters in the UK and this is a great victory for us and because of the stupidity of the British.

The operation in Yemen has led to a 300% increase in container shipping costs in England and a significant delay in the delivery of goods.

Iran calls on BRICS to help stop Zionist crimes in Gaza
Moscow, IRNA – Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri has underscored the need for BRICS member states to make efforts to help put an end to the Zionist brutalities in the Gaza Strip.

Bagheri made the remarks during a meeting of BRICS deputy foreign ministers in Moscow on Thursday where they discussed the latest developments in the Middle East and North Africa.

He hailed South Africa’s measure in bringing the Zionist regime to the International Court of Justice for perpetrating genocide in the Gaza Strip and called on other BRICS member states to voice support for Pretoria in this regard and seek legal mechanisms to activate the International Criminal Court to probe into these crimes.

The official stressed that 200 days of war in Gaza have proved that the Palestinian nation cannot be destroyed.

Bagheri added that stopping the Zionist regime's crimes against the defenseless people of Gaza is key to establishment of peace and security across the region, from Lebanon to Iraq and throughout the Red Sea.

Satellite images show new US Gaza pier construction underway, fast
The construction of a new port in the Gaza Strip ahead of a US military-led effort to allegedly let aid into Gaza is quite advanced, according to satellite pictures examined Thursday by The Associated Press.

According to the photographs, the building has moved swiftly over the previous two weeks, and some authorities suggest the port might be finished in as little as a week.

The port is located directly southwest of Gaza City, which originally was the most populated location before the war drove over 1 million residents south to Rafah.

Its development comes as "Israel" faces considerable international condemnation over the blocking of aid into the region, where the United Nations estimates at least a quarter of the population is on the verge of famine.

The satellite images, collected by Planet Labs PBC, reveal that heavy construction has been underway for the past two weeks. The region is directly north of a route that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) built through Gaza amid the slaughter.

The port will most likely have three zones: one where the IOF receive dropped-off aid, another where the aid is transferred, and a third where Palestinian drivers contracted by the UN will wait to pick up the aid before delivering it to distribution points, according to a UN official.

The question remains: How can "Israel" be trusted with the task of allowing aid into the Strip when they are the very reason it has been blocked?

Meanwhile, while the US claims the pier is to allow the entry of aid into the Strip, UN experts have warned that it might be aimed at facilitating the Rafah invasion.

The US' scheme to construct a large pier off the Gaza coast for humanitarian aid delivery has been criticized as a "smokescreen" to facilitate the potential Israeli invasion of the southern city of Rafah, The Independent reported Wednesday, citing UN officials.

UN officials caution that the dock will not be positioned near northern Gaza, where the famine risk is most acute, but rather at a location monitored by an Israeli occupation military checkpoint, according to The Independent., which is evident in an Israeli proposal to install remote-controlled guns since Israelis and Americans will be collaborating on "security" at the port.

The UN officials indicated that the Israeli occupation forces would then exploit the pier for their invasion of Rafah as an alternative to land crossings that would be shut down during the operation.

The IOF claim the area has already been subjected to a mortar attack Wednesday as 4 UN officials were at the site.

Hamas political bureau official Khalil al-Hayya has vowed that any forces, Israeli or from another country, would be considered “an occupying force and aggression.”

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) issued a warning last month against the US plan to establish a temporary pier off the coast of Gaza for "transporting aid to the sector."

The movement emphasized that the US plan is "suspicious and dubious" and goes beyond the goal of aiding the Palestinian people, opening the door to executing other alarming objectives, such as forced displacement plans under humanitarian and other pretexts.

Funding a genocide behind humanitarian aid

Yesterday, US President Joe Biden signed a $95 billion bill of foreign aid to Ukraine, "Israel", and Taiwan on a day that he called a “good day for world peace," following the Senate's passing of the measure in a 79-18 vote on Tuesday night.

After signing the bill, in his speech, Biden said, “It’s going to make America safer. It’s going to make the world safer,” adding, “It was a difficult path... It should have been easier and it should have gotten there sooner. But in the end, we did what America always does. We rose to the moment, came together, and we got it done.”

The bill includes $60.8 billion for Ukraine, $26.3 billion for "Israel" and controversially for humanitarian relief for civilians, and $8.1 billion for the Indo-Pacific region against China.

According to the Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC) 2024, the war on the Gaza Strip resulted in the greatest food crisis ever recorded, according to an Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) research.

The whole Gaza population is classified as IPC Phase 3 (crisis) or worse, with 50% anticipated to be in a condition of disaster (IPC Phase 5), which occurs when people confront an acute scarcity of food and exhaustion of coping skills.

In early April, the US humanitarian envoy in Gaza, David Satterfield, affirmed that famine looms over all 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza.

During a briefing hosted by the American Jewish Committee, Satterfield stated that "this is not a point in debate. It is an established fact, which the United States, its experts, the international community, its experts assess and believe is real," adding that the ongoing dehumanization of Palestinians cannot continue, regardless of the events of October 7 and its effects on settler society and the capturing of captives.

Famine threatens the 300,000 Palestinians in northern Gaza, he highlighted, as "Israel" deliberately prevents aid deliveries and intentionally starves civilians in the territory.

Greek frigate shoots down Houthi drone in Gulf of Aden
News Agency of Nigeria

A Greek navy frigate fired on two drones approaching the ship in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday morning, with one shot down, the second unmanned aerial vehicle then turned away.

The Ministry of Defence in Athens said in a report by Greek radio (ERT).

The frigate continued its mission, it added.

The frigate was escorting a merchant ship as part of the EU naval mission Aspides, which aimed to protect merchant ships from attacks by the militant Islamist Houthi from Yemen.

The Gulf of Aden, off the Yemeni coast, links the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea.

Houthi militants have been attacking ships in the Red Sea region in what they said was retaliation for Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip.

Major shipping companies are increasingly avoiding the shortest sea route between Asia and Europe and sailing the much longer journey around South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope instead.

The Iran-backed Houthi militia said they wanted to force an end to the Israeli attacks in Gaza, which followed the unprecedented massacre by the Palestinian Islamist organisation Hamas last October.

Several Western countries, including the U.S. and Britain, have launched operations to protect ships in the region in response to the Houthi attacks.

The European Union has also deployed a military operation to secure merchant shipping in the Red Sea.

Israel is committing a scholasticide in Gaza -- this is the "systemic obliteration of education through the arrest, detention or killing of teachers, students and staff, and the destruction of educational infrastructure."

Understanding this concept is key to understanding the significance of college protests across this country.

Protesters are acting as a voice for silenced Palestinian students in Gaza whose futures have been demolished by American and Israeli bombs.

In 6 months, Israel has bombed:

12 universities & destroyed 80% of schools in Gaza.

Nearly 15,000 students killed, while
1,000 teachers & 100 university professors have been killed.

All libraries have been destroyed.

Nearly a million students have been left without education.

When schools are destroyed, so too are the hopes and dreams of young people.
