🚨My latest: Israel almost gave up on its gangs in Gaza, until the IDF found a new use for them: continuing the genocide by proxies & creating a facade "Potemkin village" run by the gangs to justify caging, bombing & preventing reconstruction in the Gaza https://www.newarab.com/analysis/weapons-warlords-and-wasteland-israels-new-strategy-gaza

🚨Israel is still starving Gaza, allowing less than 90 trucks per day since the ceasefire began instead of 600 Israel allowed only 986 aid trucks into Gaza in the past 11 days, this is ironically way less than what Israel was allowing into Gaza in wartime! Trump's agreement stipulated that over 600 trucks would enter Gaza per day; reconstruction would start immediately; the Rafah crossing would be open both ways; & Israel would halt all military activity, including airstrikes. Israel has violated every single one of those obligations immediately! Rafah is still close, no reconstruction, constant bombing & continued starvation!

Francesca is clear-eyed here that she's opposing extrajudicial summary executions. She's NOT endorsing collaborators or proxy gangs This is a very sound & principled position. Egypt, Qatar & mediators conveyed the same message to Hamas & no public executions were recorded since Only one public execution of 7 individuals was documented since the ceasefire started. It was done by masked armed men. Hamas' Mohammed Nazzal denied responsibility for this incident & said it was some form vigilantism where militias took matters into their own hands It is highly likely Hamas (or a faction within the group) is behind this incident & did it publicly to strike fear into the hearts of armed clans & gangs to turn themselves &/or their weapons in. After that incident, three large families complied & handed over their arms to the local police Mediators made it clear to Hamas that summary executions play into the hands of Israeli propaganda & that Netanyahu is exploiting those scenes to collapse the ceasefire & resume the genocide Extrajudicial executions are wrong on many levels. Legally, morally & from an Islamic religious perspective, the accused always deserves a chance to defend themselves & stand trial. Lots of innocent people can be wrongfully killed. Hamas' founder Ahmad Yassin himself once said that during the 1980s & 1990s, some of those accused of collaborating & executed were innocent & that Hamas paid compensations to the families in those cases. If calling someone a collaborator is an immediate license to kill, it becomes a convenient label attached to rivals, opponents, critics... Who's there to verify if someone is actually a collaborator or not? What guarantees that the accuser is not himself a secret collaborator? Palestinians went down that dangerous slope during the First Intifada; out of every ten Palestinians killed during the intifada, an estimated two lost their lives at the hands of other Palestinians. Palestinian leader Haidar abd al-Shafi called for an end to intra-Palestinian violence, which also involved factional score-settling & almost certainly targeted some individuals who were not collaborators at all. That's the whole point of trials, legal procedures, defence...etc.

🚨Israeli media admits the IDF broke the ceasefire first by killing dozens of Gazans over the past week without Hamas firing a single bullet in return Remember this, when mainstream media whitewashes the resumption of genocide!

Would Bill Maher then give his home to a Native American? PS. Settler colonial movements throughout history often made claims of indigenousness to justify land theft & domination. French & Italian colonizers in Algeria & Libya claimed they were “natives” restoring Roman Empire lands

🚨Israel's Abu Shabab gang backfires in its face; IDF soldiers attacked in the heart of Rafah today Hamas infiltrated Israel's proxy Abu Shabab gang & recruited double agents whose job is to provide intel & ambush the gang's leaders. When they tried to attack today, Israel intervened to protect its most precious collaborator, so the defectors engaged the intervening IDF troops. Preliminary reports indicate one or more Israeli soldiers may have been killed or wounded. Israel is keeping the Abu Shabab gang well protected & deeply hidden inside the depopulated "Yellow Line" (58% of Gaza) that the IDF controls. Israel has been shooting & bombing anyone who tries to approach its proxy gangs or anyone that gets nearby the invisible "yellow line." But the Israelis seem to have overlooked the scenario where Abu Shabab gang members can switch sides. Israel has been using the ISIS-linked Abu Shabab gang for three missions: 1- Loot aid systematically to create famine while outsourcing blame. 2- Carrying out Black Ops (i.e. kidnapping, interrogating, & murdering Palestinians, collecting intelligence, going into areas that are too dangerous for the IDF). 3- Run a concentration camp in Rafah that Israel wanted to push Gaza's population into (as announced by Defence Minister Israel Katz in July). Since the ceasefire, however, Israel has been using those proxy gangs for two more missions: 1- Destabilise Gaza & brew a civil war; carry out hit & run attacks, recruit clans, carry out assassinations 2- Run the only area where Israel is planning symbolic & limited "reconstruction" for PR purposes (in South East Rafah) while the rest of Gaza remains uninhabitable. The gangs, however, are now unraveling, especially that the IDF refused to allow gang members refuge inside Israel itself in the case of full withdrawal from Gaza.

🚨Israel's plan for Gaza: divide it with a Berlin-wall like deadly line; symbolic & limited PR "reconstruction" only in areas fully controlled by the IDF & run by criminal gangs & collaborators; rest of Gaza will be kept a wasteland regularly bombed by Israel & raided by gangs Israel will use disarmament as the excuse & pretext to why 2 million people would be caged & regularly bombed in an uninhabitable zone (Israel is NOT allowing any Gazans to move to the other side of the Yellow Line where "reconstruction" would take place). Israel will do propaganda tours to this "model town" in Rafah run by its proxy, the ISIS-linked Abu Shabab gang, to show the world that it's allowing reconstruction & that it's Hamas' fault why the rest of Gaza is in ruins. For the last 5 months, Israel has already been doing this kind of propaganda; they built a small camp area for the Abu Shabab gang & their families with a school & a mosque; a PR firm in Washington has been marketing propaganda videos of the Abu Shabab camp as a "futuristic vision of a de-radicalized Gaza" & as "proof" that Israel wasn't committing genocide, since it wasn't bombing the 300 people in the Abu Shabab camp (while flattening the rest of Gaza). Israel will soon start bringing propagandists into the Abu Shabab camp with the message "See! We're helping Gazans who wish to co-exist with us" (again, Israel is currently NOT allowing any Gazans into that Yellow line area, only gang members). They'll use the Abu Shabab camp as a talking point as to why the rest of Gaza remains in ruins. "It's because Hamas didn't disarm yet." Even if Hamas agrees to disarm; disarmament is so vague & abstract that Israel can always claim there are still some militants with weapons somewhere (who's gonna verify or debunk this? the US? Europe?). It'll be like Lebanon where Israel just bombed a bunch of bulldozers & claimed it was a Hizbollah target. Israel spent 24 months & close to a $100 billion to reduce Gaza to dust; they lost about 900 soldiers for this mission. Anyone who thinks Israel would allow Gaza to be rebuilt, even if Hamas disappears, is daydreaming! The genocide showed us repeatedly how for Israel Hamas is the excuse, the scarecrow, while Gaza is the target. Even if Hamas is gone, they'll find other excuses to keep Gazans between two choices; leave or live in a cage of rubble!

Only mothers who went through IVF treatment would understand this double pain She took 580 Heparin injections until she got pregnant with his only born Mohammed, then Israel murdered him One of the greatest possible pains is that of parents who outlive their children!

🚨Hamas is refilling its stockpiles from Israeli weapons Hamas has confiscated hundreds of firearms, dozens of vehicles & loads of grenades & ammunition, in addition to substantial amounts of cash that Israel’s been giving to gangs, clans, criminals & collaborators in Gaza Several clans are now handing their weapons over to Hamas, including al-Majaiyda, Dogmoush, Maghasaib, & some Tarabin, in addition to individuals deserting the Israel-run gangs & turning themselves in in return for amnesty

Does the same apply to Israel's war crimes or are you cool with them genociding an entire people?

The evidence of Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine is plain to see.
Unpunished crimes only encourage new atrocities.
