Massacre in Gaza: Occupation Targets Gravediggers and Leaves Thousands Dead

Al-Manar | November 3, 2023

Israeli occupation forces mercilessly targeted a group of Palestinian citizens who were trying to dig graves in the northern Gaza Strip. The occupation aircraft launched a series of brutal raids on the central region of the Gaza Strip, resulting in a massacre at the Maghazi camp.

The bombings deliberately aimed at a gathering of innocent citizens, a restaurant, and a home belonging to the Al-Barbarawi family, leaving numerous casualties and several martyrs. Many of the injured were rushed to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital for urgent medical assistance. To make matters worse, the Israeli artillery shelling also targeted the eastern part of Rafah city in southern Gaza.

Despite the international outcry against their actions, the occupation continues to escalate its aggression. At present, occupation aircraft are launching violent raids on Al-Sinaa Street in the heart of Gaza City. Moreover, they have targeted the Northern Beach camp, which lies west of the Shuhada Al-Shati Mosque.

Yesterday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza released a devastating announcement, revealing that the death toll from Israeli aggression has risen to a staggering 9,061 martyrs. Among the fatalities are 3,760 children and 2,326 women, while approximately 32,000 individuals have been wounded with various injuries since the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle on October 7.

The ministry further disclosed that the occupation forces committed 15 massacres in the past hours alone, claiming the lives of 256 innocent people. This unfathomable brutality brings the total number of massacres against families in the Gaza Strip to a horrifying 965.

Adding to the horror, the ministry reported that the bombing of a house in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip has resulted in the deaths of 11 individuals thus far. The extent of destruction and loss of life caused by Israeli aggression is truly unimaginable.

In an alarming revelation, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory disclosed that Israel has dropped over 25,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip since the start of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation. This amount is said to be equivalent to the destructive power of two nuclear bombs, underscoring the immense suffering inflicted upon the Palestinian population.

As international calls for an end to the aggression grow louder, the world watches in horror as the occupation forces continue their onslaught on innocent Palestinians.

How Long Has Netanyahu Got Left?

By Martin Jay | Strategic Culture Foundation | November 2, 2023

Is Israel really losing the media war? In a conflict where the truth seems to be the first and most predominant casualty, this might be the only truth, certainly when we look at recent events. The war in Gaza is not an irony-free zone though. Recently, Israel stormed social media with claims that the Palestinians were faking videos and they took one of a medic giving resuscitation to a victim, claiming that the technique was erroneous, and so, therefore, the video must have been faked. How are we to take this? Given that Israel is the expert on faking videos to support its heinous war crimes, was the logic behind the claims “trust us, we know what we’re talking about when we talk about faked videos”? In either case it failed. The mob justice of social media didn’t give any gravitas to the claims and soon enough the Red Cross said that the health worker was using the right technique.

But how interesting that Israel is now resorting to this level, to stoop so low makes many wonder if they are even close to winning the war. It doesn’t smack of a victorious side to do this and there are other examples, even, previously. When the Baptist hospital was bombed, the IDF didn’t seem bothered that there was documented evidence to prove that it had actually warned the bosses of it, that they, the IDF, were about to bomb it. Almost as soon as it was bombed and Israel fed the revolting swine of western journalists feeding from the teat of mother Israel for all of their information with the assertion that the Palestinians actually blew it up themselves by a faulty rocket which Hamas had just recently fired close to the hospital. The IDF even produced audio of a conversation which apparently confirmed this. The problem with this though was that the audio was faked. There is actually a history of the IDF faking audio conversations. Some will remember the 2010 storming of the Turkish aid boat where the IDF murdered in cold blood ten activists at point blank range. Audio tape of the activists insulting Israel’s special forces soldiers turned out to be fake.

Western media are playing a role in helping Israel though simply by accepting the carefully arranged circus that they have been invited into. No western journalists that I can see are working within Gaza as it’s simply too dangerous so they are forced to lap up the information which is handed to them on a plate standing on the touchlines and being really nothing more than a spectator to a secret war which they can’t and won’t understand. The holocaust which is taking place is about the annihilation of the Palestinians in Gaza. We can’t really call it a war as this would suggest that both sides have a fair chance to compete on a level playing field. In Gaza, the Israelis are starving the Palestinians so that even if they survive, they will be too weak to fight when, or if, the IDF finally go in with their tank divisions.

The story which isn’t being reported by western journalists is how Hamas is already having some victories in hitting tanks with RPGs and how phosphorous is being dropped on civilians. Of course Netanyahu has been promised by the Biden administration that he can break every war crime ever recorded with the knowledge that he and his people will never face any legal action. And this is really a big part of America’s support to Netanyahu as what we are witnessing – but are unable to film due to Israel cutting off electricity and internet – are war crimes which we have never really seen before in the last 100 years except with the holocaust itself during WWII.

The total ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians which will never be reported as such by British journalists, which citizens of the free world cannot actually see, so it will continue until only a few hundred thousand Palestinians remain, who then will be convinced by Israel and the West to move onto another location. In fact, there is documentation to prove that the Israelis were planning all along to move out Palestinian citizens out of Gaza all together with the assistance of Egypt.

The big question is time. Time is really an important component in this war. It is only a matter of time before Biden messes up and is drawn into a war with Israel against Iran. Biden doesn’t want this but he is unfortunately stupid and weak and Netanyahu likes American presidents this way. A looming speech from Hezbollah’s secretary general Hassan Nasrallah is expected to give an ultimatum to Israel to stop the mass murder of Palestinians, we will soon be reminded who are the most important players: Iran and Turkey.

Both these countries, although from different Muslim faiths who, in other parts of the Middle East are killing each other, seem to be united in their defiance of Israel. It is no longer a question of if they will react to the Gaza holocaust but when. Biden is out of his depth and the Iranians know this. He has only one real ace to play, which is to get rid of Netanyahu which if he was any other U.S. president, he could probably pull this off. But this is Biden we’re talking about whose foreign policy sheet includes the hugely embarrassing exit from Afghanistan and the 130 billion dollar colossal waste of sending cash to Ukraine, the most corrupt country in the world, which most Americans can’t even find on a map of Europe.

The rumours are that Biden is thinking in the longer term than Israel and that he believes that Netanyahu doesn’t have long in office as many Israelis don’t support his war crimes strategy, a point made by Haaretz recently which pointed out his demise was not long off. Something’s got to give. The servile, revolting, passive international press pack might be all that Netanyahu has left.

Bahrain ‘halts’ economic relations with Israel over war on Gaza: Parliament

Press TV – November 2, 2023

Bahrain’s lower house of parliament has said the country has halted its economic relations with the Israeli regime over Tel Aviv’s ongoing war against the Gaza Strip that has claimed thousands of Palestinians.

“Economic relations with Israel have been halted,” said a statement from the Council of Representatives on Thursday.

The chamber also “confirms that the Israeli ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain has left Bahrain, and the Kingdom of Bahrain decided to return the Bahraini ambassador from Israel to the country,” it noted.

The move was “in support of the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people,” the statement read.

Abdulnabi Salman, the Bahraini legislature’s first deputy speaker, confirmed the decision to AFP, saying the “ongoing conflict in Gaza cannot tolerate silence.”

Bahrain’s National Communication Center, the government’s media arm, said the “priority at this stage must be focused on protecting the lives of civilians” in the besieged Palestinian territory.

The brutal war that the Israeli regime has been waging against the coastal sliver since October 7, has so far claimed the lives of nearly 9,061 people, including 3,700 children and more than 2,300 women.

The regime launched the war after Gaza’s resistance groups conducted Operation al-Aqsa Storm, their biggest operation against the occupying entity in years.

Bahrain and the regime established diplomatic relations in 2020 as part of United States-brokered Abraham Accords.

Back in 2021, Bahrain’s main opposition group, the al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, denounced Manama’s normalization of relations with Israel as “a crime,” emphasizing that the ruling Al Khalifah regime’s policies did not conform to the will of the Bahraini nation.

The country has witnessed numerous protests ever since the rapprochement, condemning the detente as an instance of “treason.”
