“Our work is not over. Gazans are returning to a devastated land. Entire neighborhoods are rubble on rubble. Local cell towers will take months to repair, meaning people will continue to rely on eSIMs for wifi and service…”
“The genocide in Gaza is far from over, it has – as Bisan Owda and many others point out – simply slowed down. Until the local Internet infrastructure is safely restored, we will keep our eSIMs active and send new ones when we have the funds to do so.
“As Palestinian writer Jehad Abusalim observes, ‘The real fight…doesn’t end with a ceasefire.’ It will take years to rebuild Gaza. Now is not the time to abandon the struggle or waver in our solidarity.”

“Yes, Israel’s bombs have stopped, but the genocide is not over. With a destroyed and collapsed healthcare system, we will continue to see more Palestinians die, as they are unable to get the treatment necessary to be able to survive the devastation that Israel (with no US bombs and help, of course) meted out against them.”

“… a growing number of Israeli soldiers speaking out against the 15-month conflict and refusing to serve anymore, saying they saw or did things that crossed ethical lines. While the movement is small — some 200 soldiers signed a letter saying they’d stop fighting if the government didn't secure a ceasefire — soldiers say it’s the tip of the iceberg and they want others to come forward.”

"U.S. Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a Republican-led effort to sanction the International Criminal Court in protest of its arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister over Israel's campaign in Gaza.

In the West Bank, Palestinian unemployment is now Israeli policy (+972 Magazine, 2025-01-21)
https://www.972mag.com/west-bank-unemployment-permits-israel/
———
“Ever since the beginning of Israel’s assault on Gaza in October 2023, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have been suffering from an acute unemployment crisis. In the first six months of the war, the unemployment rate nearly tripled, with over 300,000 workers losing their main source of income.”
“Historically, our community subsisted on shepherding and agricultural farming. But over the years, the expansion of the Jewish settlement … and violence from Israeli settlers and soldiers have rendered the vast majority of our land inaccessible. Forced to find alternative sources of income, many young men in the community began working as laborers inside Israel…”

Craig Mokhiber on X ... #ArrestHerzog

"Today the UN has shamed itself, violated its human rights mission, & dishonored the memory of millions of victims of the Holocaust. In an event that was supposed to commemorate the genocide of European Jews & the principle of “never again”, it honored & platformed a perpetrator of genocide, Isaac Herzog, president of the Israeli regime, & allowed him, unchallenged, to spout lies, racism and genocide propaganda, (as well as propaganda for war with Iran). If the UN does not get up from its knees, speak truth to power, and challenge the genocidal apartheid regime, its sponsors & proxies, & hold them to account for their serial criminality, it will almost certainly go the way of the League of Nations. Never again means never again for anyone. #ArrestHerzog"

Remembering our colleagues killed in Gaza | MSF (2025-01-24)
https://www.msf.org/remembering-our-colleagues-killed-gaza
"We mourn the tragic loss of our colleagues who have been killed since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023. We are outraged that many of these people were killed while providing care for patients or sheltering with their families. We remain deeply concerned for the safety of all our staff members and patients in Gaza, Palestine.
"We denounce the repeated attacks on health workers and medical facilities by Israeli forces, which made it nearly impossible for us to continue to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance. While a temporary ceasefire is in place, a permanent and sustained ceasefire remains the only solution to ease the suffering of Palestinians."
Followed by photo, name, date of killing and short description for each 9 members.

“The four women released by Hamas on Saturday … are ‘spotters’ for the army who were stationed in a small military base about a half-mile from the border.”
“In the months leading up to the assault, [a former lookout] Ms. Yerushalmi … said, there were growing signs of something afoot. … the spotters saw convoys of 20 to 30 white pickup trucks filled with Hamas fighters driving along the border with increasing frequency, stopping occasionally and peering into Israel through binoculars. They would also put up drones a few times a day…”
“The spotters reported the activity, she and several relatives of the other lookouts said, but were told by their superiors that their job was to be the eyes, not the brains, of the Israeli military. Their reports, they said, appeared to have been dismissed.”

A Textbook Case of Genocide: Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening? (Raz Segal | Jewish Currents, 2023-10-13)
https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide
Note this analysis was issued on Oct 13th of 2023 . Respect.
"Israel’s campaign to displace Gazans—and potentially expel them altogether into Egypt—is yet another chapter in the Nakba,... But the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide, who has spent many years writing about Israeli mass violence against Palestinians..."
"Indeed, Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza is quite explicit, open, and unashamed... And those of us watching around the world are derelict in our responsibility to prevent them from doing so."

"... On October 13th, ... the historian Raz Segal, director of the program of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Stockton University in New Jersey, wrote in a widely shared article in this magazine, 'A Textbook Case of Genocide,'..."
"And yet, amid this ever-worsening assault, many of the scholars and institutions that had issued or signed statements condemning Hamas after October 7th stayed silent.... Little changed even after Amnesty International published a landmark report ... in December 2024. For Nimer Sultany [SOAS] ..., this silence pointed to a glaring double standard..."
