I feel somewhat saddened reading this. It has come to a point that they have to resort to this old tactic. And what drove them towards this? Because the world has failed them. 14 months on and no world leaders, no world organisations can stop this savagery, this madness that's been livestreaming on our mobile devices. But tell the world, we must. So keep speaking out.
And shame be upon those countries (all) who failed to act collectively to break the blockade and deliver humanitarian aid early on, with an armed escort to deter a Zionist attack.
I am so saddened and outraged that this brutal terrorism towards the Gazans has gone on and on relentlessly and has not been stopped by those holding the power to do so if they had even a shred of conscience and humanity. All that the Gazans have endured!!! And at the same time I feel nothing but awe and the deepest admiration for these men willing to martyr themselves for the sake of their people, their land, and for a greater good that these hollow shells of human beings, these Israeli terrorists, are incapable of knowing or understanding.
Thank you for reporting this - it's the terrible details that shock and break open the heart.
Occupying forces will always fight a losing battle against the native forces defending the homeland because it is their land. This situation is no different. The Talmudic Nazis have overplayed their hand and will end up paying a very heavy price, if their genocidal sewer even survives.
What I fail to understand is the fact that all this happening in the country where these Israelis reside. What would the residents of any other country in the world think if their place of residence had been subject to such a level of violence for so many years? Wouldn't it begin to dawn on them that there might be something wrong in the way they are approaching their lives and their actions? The blindness is simply beyond belief.
I enjoy your resistance updates so much and I especially appreciate your framing of the news in a way that we never see in mainstream media - it's refreshing. It's very hard to find resistance news in English that isn't heavily censored/self-censored. Thank you for your work! 🔻🇵🇸
As I observe the New Year’s Eve festivities on TV in New York, filled with exuberant celebrations and smiling faces, I find myself devoid of emotion. The jubilant atmosphere feels alien to me; I cannot immerse myself in the festivities. Sometimes, the weight of my sadness renders me unable to eat or have any measure of comfort knowing that not far away there’s an active genocide happening —just a plane ride away—children are starving , dying from the cold and suffering in a place enveloped in despair: Gaza.
We should be pouring our hearts out in grief. If not in tears, sadly the only thing we can do is channel our anger into action, railing against our government’s complicity in this atrocity. It’s time to converge on the heart of the matter, demanding accountability from those who enable such suffering, even if that means standing at the doorstep of the White House, torches in hand.
It is sad to see occupying "soldiers", cowards in reality, being killed, but their joyfull killing of women, children, the elderly and the hospitalized is perfectly normal.
And then you people wonder why you are hated around the world and you whine like crybabies that everyone hates the Jews and wants them exterminated.
Shame on that lowly, racist scum who pretend to have paid a heavy price during WW2 and had the audacity and insolence to state "Never Again" when they are doing now the thing they allege (but could never prove) to have suffered.
Resorting to suicide attacks shows you are losing . It's the last straw . Maybe ammunition or having fighters is the problem 🤔 idk . But this isn't winning any war .
Happy New Year. I am Rasha from Palestine, Gaza Strip, a mother of two children. We live in very bad conditions and suffer from famine and severe cold because of the war. We cannot provide the most basic needs for ourselves or my children. Diseases are eating away at our bodies and there is no source of income because of the war. The conditions here are very bad. We hope to receive your help if you can. Any little help makes a difference to us.https://chuffed.org/project/119733-were-holding-on-by-a-thread-please-dont-look-away
I understand why people want to believe that every report that Al-Qassam puts out about its operations against Israeli soldiers in Gaza are accurate, but the reality is that some of these are probably untrue, or at the very least seriously exaggerated in their lethality.
The two feda'i (self-sacrificial) operations and the two stabbing operations do not correspond to any reported IDF fatalities. It is highly unlikely, given that IDF soldiers typically shoot Palestinians on sight (especially adult males), that they would allow a Palestinian to get close enough to do that.
It might be plausible that some individual IDF deaths are not included on the official lists (I'm aware of two whose names have been reported, who died in unusual circumstances inside Gaza; there may be a few others), but it's doubtful that enough deaths are being kept hidden to fundamentally alter the strategic picture, or make these reports plausible. The claims you describe cover 18 IDF fatalities from 20 to 30 December included. The IDF reported 7 fatalities in that period, of which one was an accident, and all but one is accounted for by some sort of description that does not correspond to these claims. In a country the size of Israel, as divided as it is, social media being what it is, the chances of hiding a death toll two-to-three-times the official one is implausible.
There have been several claims over the past 15 months of Al-Qassam operations which, if true, would have resulted in the seizure of multiple IDF corpses, but for which there has been no evidence (just one or two instances of this, and none for several months). Despite Al-Qassam's practice of regularly collecting video footage, I can only think of one video that has provided anything close to evidence of zero distance combat, despite that this has been frequently claimed. No pictures of seized IDF equipment were released corresponding to the reported scale of these operations and the number of kills said to have been inflicted. Sometimes when Al-Qassam claims a kill and no kill was reported, it can be attributed to the IDF's battlefield medicine and evacuation. For example, the tank commander of the 401st brigade hit (on video) with a clean sniper shot on 26 December was seriously injured, but survived. But false claims of zero distance kills must be fabricated deliberately by someone - by junior commanders looking for credit within the organisation if not the higher levels or media operation.
The Palestinian armed movement, like some other armed movements, does have a patchy history when it comes to accurate reporting of its own actions, due to the perceived need to use dramatic, inspiring reports as propaganda. Yezid Sayigh's book, Armed Struggle and the Search for State records some of this. Anyone seriously interested in getting to grips with the movement in a deep way should read it.
Empire continues to celebrate. It has made more profit from war, terror, disease, inequality and injustice than it could have ever imagined. With even more national oligarchs expect the trend to continue; until greed and stupidity cut off the supply of its prozium (drugs to suppress any moral or ethical sentiments) to its uber soldiers and resources to its corporate cybertech. Those no longer dope will then turn on their oligarch abusers. Empire’s programme of ecocide will fail as it is a negative-sum game of playing ever greater numbers of disenfranchised, dispossessed and discriminated against each other is a losers strategy for stupid people.

Yes, I guess they believe they are dead anyways- and hardly anyone would disagree

Israel can destroy, but it cannot defeat!
Thank you.

IDF uniform, perfect.
They'll have them shooting each other
'What's that password?'
'Bagel!'
'Nope, that was yesterday's!'
Boom!
It is very sad that naive young soldiers need to be there to be killed in the first place

They had no problem murdering Palestinians
For the Talmudic Nazis Palestinians are subhumans and can be treated any which the Talmudic Nazi scum sees fit.

No such things as “palestinians”.
