All medical professionals should watch it, and decide for themselves what to do next. NB this documentary - that BBC refused to air - was produced during the first year of the genocide. Since then, Israel has destroyed most of what you see (being still Gaza) in the documentary.

This is the film they didn't want you to see, the film that the BBC refused to air. Watch 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack' NOW at gazadoctors.film.

With temperatures already reaching 34°C this week, residents of the Gaza Strip are facing extreme heat with no regular access to water. Over two and a half years of genocidal assault, the Israeli military has systematically destroyed more than 84% of the Strip’s water and sanitation infrastructure, leading to the total collapse of basic living systems. Even now, seven months after the “ceasefire” agreement came into effect, Israel continues to block the entry of essential equipment needed for reconstruction. The military is preventing the entry of filtration systems, tanks and construction materials required to operate these systems, thereby preventing any possibility of restoring healthcare and water systems for millions of people. In the displacement camps, the reality is unbearable. Families are forced to live alongside flowing sewage and piles of garbage accumulating between the tents. Due to the severe shortage, displaced people are routinely forced to use contaminated, undrinkable water. Many report having to forgo bathing or cooking to save the little clean water they have for drinking. The deadly combination of heat, pollution and lack of basic hygiene conditions is leading to the spread of severe skin and intestinal diseases. The few remaining water sources become contaminated more quickly in high temperatures, causing dehydration and acute diarrhea, especially among children. Experts estimate that the combined damage to infrastructure led to thousands of indirect deaths already in the first year of the assault. By continuing to block humanitarian aid and deliberately destroy life-sustaining infrastructure, Israel is perpetuating conditions in Gaza that are unfit for human habitation. The genocide in the Gaza Strip continues.

Seventy children have been killed in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since early 2025, or about one a week, according to the UN's children's agency. More than 90% were killed by Israeli forces, UNICEF said, while over 800 have been injured reut.rs/48Sw5TN

How is Israel conducting what legal experts describe as a campaign of wanton destruction in southern Lebanon? Data shared exclusively with The National by Lebanon’s Southern Council shows nearly 100,000 civilian infrastructure sites destroyed or damaged by Israel since March 2. The figures are only preliminary because access to many frontline villages remains restricted. The scale of destruction points to a broader pattern: rendering large parts of southern Lebanon uninhabitable.

🚨Nicholas Kristof, grand reporter au New York Times, signe une enquête qui va faire mal. Très mal. Sa question finale, il l'emprunte à Netanyahu lui-même, celle que le Premier ministre israélien lançait au monde après le 7 octobre : « Where the hell are you ? » Aujourd'hui, Kristof la lui retourne. Et elle tombe comme un couperet. L'article est accablant. Des Palestiniens, hommes, femmes, enfants, sont violés systématiquement par des soldats, des colons, des gardiens de prison. Des viols avec des matraques, des carottes, des bâtons. Des chiens dressés pour pénétrer des détenus. Des hommes qui urinent du sang après qu'on leur ait ligoté les testicules. Des femmes dénudées, battues, giflées, présentées comme un trophée à chaque relève de garde. Des enfants menacés qu'on leur enfonce un bâton dans le cul s'ils ne coopèrent pas. Ce n'est pas une exception. C'est une politique. Un rapport de l'ONU parle de « procédure opérationnelle standard ». Une pratique généralisée, encouragée par l'impunité totale. Ben-Gvir traite les détenus de « raclures » et « nazis ». Netanyahu qualifie les poursuites contre des soldats violeurs de « blood libel » et les réhabilite. Et les États-Unis ? Ils appellent ça 'de simples allégations'. Allégations. Qu'ils aillent dire ça aux enfants qui ont vu des chiens les monter. La question de Netanyahu, « Where the hell are you ? », Kristof la retourne : où étiez-vous pour les Palestiniens ? Où sont les condamnations ? Où sont les sanctions ? Où sont les ambassadeurs qui se déplacent avec des caméras ? Où sont les suspensions d'aide militaire ? Nulle part. Parce que les victimes ne sont pas les bonnes. Parce qu'être Palestinien, c'est être une victime de seconde zone. Parce que l'Occident a choisi son camp, celui du violeur plutôt que du violé. Et bien sûr, la hasbara est aux abois. « l’article le plus antisémite des temps modernes ». Leur seul argument : crier au loup pour qu'on ne regarde pas leurs monstres. Mais les victimes, elles, ne crient pas. Elles saignent. Article du NYT en commentaire.

@JorgeLiboreiro Problem is: Commission *must* ensure EU trade complies with int’l law. Currently, it doesn’t. Appalling that @vonderleyen @MarosSefcovic have yet to even just *propose* a ban. This is not a matter of choice, it’s a matter of duty. Claiming otherwise is gaslighting 👇🏼

Stop the unaccountability and complicity. Or just try to be a decent human being. Sanction Israel Now. Suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement. @kajakallas @vonderleyen @EmmanuelMacron @bundeskanzler @prevotmaxime

Israel is running a network of torture camps for Palestinians. Our reports, Welcome to Hell and Hell on Earth, extensively documented a reality of extreme violence, starvation, and torture. Now, in a major @nytimes investigation, journalist @NickKristof published terrible testimonies concerning sexual violence and the use of sodomy as a tool of interrogation and humiliation by Israeli forces. Palestinian prisoners are subjected to severe violence, deliberate humiliation, starvation, sleep deprivation, denial of medical care, and abuse in every facility where they are held. These abusive practices are fully backed by the political leadership, which openly boasts about the harsh prison conditions. Some inmates are subjected to severe sexual assaults. At least 88 Palestinians have died in Israeli detention facilities since October 2023 as a result of inhumane conditions, violence, starvation, and the denial of medical treatment. Despite the extensive evidence, media investigations, and reports issued by Israeli and international organizations documenting torture in Israeli prisons, the international community continues to stand by and allow Israel to commit crimes against the Palestinian people.

Stop het normaliseren van Israel en Belgische deelname aan Eurovision dat Israel gebruikt om als 'normaal Westers land' te worden geportretteerd en ongestoord haar misdaden te blijven uitvoeren @vrtnws

Failure to suspend Israel from Eurovision, as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza, unlawful occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, is an act of cowardice and double standards. #HumanityMustWin Read more: amn.st/6016BBSR1u

The term "terrorism" these days is applied only to nongovernmental groups, while governments that target civilians are said to commit "war crimes" or violent repression. Often there is little or no distinction between the two. x.com/cbonneauimages…

What does terrorism mean to you? If it’s no double-tap killings of paramedics, journalists, and today a 12 year old girl, then what is it? Westerners, where is your humanity? Cameraman: @aliezzedine7
