Thank goodness for Drop Site.

Israel always accuses Hamas of actions which they know to be untrue, but this is what they do. This has been the same over the years and sadly continues. I am aware of too many people who don't realise (or is it accept??) that this is what happens.

Any response from the IOF? It would be great if they would confess like they did with the ISIS story.

Is there a way to identify the soldiers on the photos to one day hold them accountable? Maybe when they go abroad on vacation or so.

The Hind Rajab foundation is doing things like this.

"After a year of tireless investigation, we have identified the military unit responsible, as well as the commander who led the operation that killed Hind, her family, and the two medics who tried to save her."

The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a war crimes complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, on May 3, Hind Rajab's 7th birthday.

Please join me in making a contribution.

To know more about The Hind Rajab Foundation, there are a couple of really good interviews that Glenn Greenwald did on his Rumble platform, and Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, did with the head of this organisation, Dyad Abou Jahjah. It was very informative.

Here's a petition calling for accountability for the arrest of Ali Abunimah in Switzerland for the crime of speaking about Palestinian rights:

Thank you for telling us all of this Jameel. All of it must have been terribly frightening, being a human shield never knowing how long and being toyed with with threats to your life, guns in your face. Never knowing if you will live or die. Never knowing if you will go home... You are a very brave man. I'm so relieved you are back with your family now. I hope there are people you can talk to and gradually release what was done to you as you regain your strength and health. God Bless you.

There is no price that can be paid to make up for this. What we need to do is find a way to live on this planet as one people, a single species, all connected, which is what we are. Otherwise, we will all perish from this earth.

The following have been fasting since May 22 outside the U.S. Mission to the U.N., just across the street from U.N. headquarters in New York.

Their demands are: 1) Full humanitarian aid to Gaza under U.N. authority and 2) No more U.S. weapons to Israel.

Great report of the humiliation and disabilities imposed by the racist illegal occupation when Palestinians manage to return alive.

Time for all those wonderful, principled American Jews, to sue the ADL for defamation, slander, libel, and unauthorized appropriation! Make the ADL have to admit publicly, with every statement, that they do not speak for all Jews.

Of course it would require great effort, energy and money. Perhaps organizations would join, or a class action law suit.

Those are powerful and well connected organizations, not taken on lightly. I am sure there are those who would volunteer their services, and surely we could get crowd-funding to assist with the legal fees.

Does this sound like something worth doing? How can we help make this happen?

And same for UK and Australia, Canada, etc.

Quick action required!

Dock workers in Marseille are refusing to load a ship with 14 tons of military equipemnt- but they could face severe backlash for doing what’s right. We need to show them - and the French authorities - that the world stands with them. Sign now, and stop this ship of death:

To know and understand Israeli plans & mode of operations study their accusations against Hamas.

Every one of their brutal accusations have been proven against them.

Rape, Human shield, killing Babies, Killing & burying in the sand to Hide.

Far more sophisticated than Goebbel's could imagine.

Feel sorry for Holocaust survivors who have to witness this barbarity in the name of Holocaust.

The inhumanity of the Israeli soldiers is horrific. They are like actors in a reality horror show. How can their family and friends stand to be around them. Can you imagine the terror of sharing a meal, your home, or even your neighborhood with one of those monsters?
