At dawn on Friday, settler Israelis set fire to a mosque and multiple vehicles and sprayed racist graffiti on the mosque's wall in the village of Jibiya northwest of Ramallah. The graffiti reads, "For the liberation of Jerusalem" as today marks Jerusalem Day in Israel.

The UAE designated five Hezbollah-linked entities on its Local Terrorist List. All five are headquartered in Lebanon. Bayt Al-Mal Al-Muslimeen (designated by the U.S.) Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association designated by (the U.S., Israel, and Saudi Arabia). Al-Tasheelat Company designated for the first time, by the UAE. Auditors for Accounting and Auditing (designated by U.S. Treasury's OFAC for being owned and controlled by Ibrahim Ali Daher, chief of Hezbollah's Central Finance Unit, and for providing financial services to the group). Al-Khobara for Accounting, Auditing, and Studies (also designated by OFAC for being owned and directed by Adel Mohamad Mansour, executive director of Al-Qard Al-Hassan). Al-Khobara operated out of the Al-Qard Al-Hassan building and functioned as an accounting arm for Hezbollah's financial apparatus across Lebanon.

Dr. Rewaa from Gaza wrote on her FB account a few days ago: "People who support the Palestinian cause have become a danger to us as Palestinians... Is it because you support my cause that you have the right to insult us or impose dictates on us who are affected?! You choose the easiest way to scream and spread hatred as if you were the ones drinking the cup of pain... When we talk about our conditions and what we have achieved, all you care about is being heard or being noticed... You made us feel disgusted that you are being counted against us. We need minds, not people who don't think or show off, but people who really have a sense of us! Palestinians today, especially the people of Gaza, hate slogans of all kinds because they do not promote life but rather our death. It is enough to underestimate what we are living through and belittle our feelings... There are those who rejoice when they see women masked with keffiyeh performing sexually suggestive dances on board boats supporting Gaza, and there are those who insult us when we talk about our suffering. We are weak and exhausted, and we do not have your excessive energy for arguments or sexy extravagances that try to attract attention to yourselves and not to our suffering".

Gazans are uniquely vulnerable and must be treated differently. E.g. if someone offered a loan to a Gazan, that would be a heinous act. But Western "pro-Palestine" Communists take this principle to infantilizing levels: 'don't listen to Gazans if they say things we don't like, e.g. condemn Hamas. They don't mean it, they're just suffering.'

Seldom right but never in doubt
@HowidyHamza Well, lots of the Kristof article is such a joke that one has to question all of it, especially the sourcing. I have no doubt that Israel has horrible prisons. Most countries do. And no doubt there is abuse. Same thing. I have seen Israelis prosecute some jailers.

Reading the piece on the sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners, then going to another piece on Hamas's sexual abuse of the victims of October the 7th, is quite horrific. There's quite a childish ping-pong attitude of both sides trying to prove that only their side has "legitimate victims" or a "legitimate narrative". Even with this post, I am expecting some outrage or dissatisfaction from the two sides because I am writing about the two stories in the same post. Though During the past two years we saw enough evidence to prove that the two horrific acts actually exist. On the one hand, the leaked video from the notorious Sde Taiman detention facility along with numerous testimonies from ex-Palestinian prisoners. On the other hand, there was also much evidence, and now more is showing up along with numerous testimonies on Hamas's sexual abuse of the victims of October 7th. Even more, there were recent testimonies of Palestinian women and children on how Hamas sexually abused them (Interestingly, we did not see the same outrage from the Pro-Palestine camp). I am not expecting either of the two sides to hold their criminals accountable; the tribalism machinery dominating this conflict is too massive to allow such a thing. One doesn't have much to add to this but to encourage people & NGOs to think of ways and programs to help the victims of these acts heal from what they have been through, as it will be stuck with the victims during all their lives.

@spamfighter666 You should search what they did to the 5 soldiers who were seen in a leaked video abusing prisoners at the Sde Taiman detention facility.

@HowidyHamza I *am* expecting Israel to hold their criminals accountable . Abuse, physical, mental or sexual happens in prisons throughout the world and it is incumbent on the wardens and institutions to prevent it, and prosecute it. end. of. story.

Hamas prevented Gaza contractors who received approvals from the U.S. and Israel from reaching construction sites in the new Palestinian city planned to be built by the UAE in Rafah. A destroyed Gaza with Hamas control is much better for Hamas than a rebuilt Gaza without Hamas control.

Meanwhile Hungary's FM stated that her country will no longer use its veto right on European Union policy as an instrument of blackmail and will work to restore the trust of its EU and NATO partners.
