Draft UN security council resolution calls for 'urgent humanitarian pauses'
We've just had the text for the UN Security Council draft resolution about the war in Gaza, which is due to be voted on later today.
There have been days of diplomatic wrangling in New York over the precise wording of the document, leading to this vote being repeatedly delayed since Monday.
The language in the UAE's proposal has reportedly already been watered down in an attempt to get around a potential veto of the draft, after the US blocked previous resolutions using its powers as one of the five permanent members of the Security Council.
The resolution calls for:
  • The parties of the conflict in Gaza to comply with their obligations under international law, regarding the protection of civilians
  • Urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors throughout the Gaza Strip for a sufficient number of days to enable full, rapid, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access
  • The immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, as well as ensuring immediate humanitarian access
  • Reiterates the vision of the two-state solution, with the Gaza Strip as part of a Palestinian State
  • Also calls for all parties to "refrain from depriving the civilian population in the Gaza Strip of basic services and humanitarian assistance indispensable to their survival"

Caitlin Johnstone: The Two-State Lie

Netanyahu is so politically desperate, and opposing Palestinian rights is so popular in Israel, that the regime can’t resist telling the truth about itself. By Caitlin Johnstone CaitlinJohnstone.com.au Listen to Tim Foley reading this article. There’s been a surprising number of recent Is

Aye "proscribed" is their favourite word when it comes to hamas. Hopefully the coverage will change in light of the three murdered hostages. Three unarmed men, stripped to the waist, waving a white flag shot in a "tragic accident". I think that's gonna be a game changer and we're already seeing it in Israel.

On damage limitation, if that's what you have to do it's what you have to do. I also know how that feels. Around 6 weeks ago i was heading for a meltdown and i had to take a couple of days away. After the couple of days i found some courage and that courage hasn't left me. I also look at some of those zionist threads and that gives me the strength to carry on when i see them posting 'songs of praise' and rejoicing in "prophecy being fulfilled"...No way am i going to sit back and watch them flood the boards with their backward zionist propaganda. They rejoice we mourn and i think that sums that up.

On the people crawling over the rubble on msm. We have witnessed a massive amount of dead and mutilated children on this thread and what i would like to see is some of these more horrific scenes being beamed into every western household when they're all sitting down to eat their dinner. Maybe then public opinion among the 'i don't cares' would change enough to put pressure on our politicians to get off their arse and do something.

@Orwell's mentor Every little helps. Whether it's your Keffiyeh, a badge, sticker, flag or whatever. Wear it proudly!

I do, Stucky. The plight of the Palestinians has always been something I've tried to highlight and bring focus to. IMHO, your thread is doing an excellent service to highlight what they're enduring as well. Matthew 5:5 comes to mind reading through it and for you.

I'll contribute to it when I get the chance, as I've been incredibly busy. I have to get ready for a meeting now...

Dismissive, indifferent and arrogant. They actually think there isn’t a God waiting for them in the next life, where their evil deeds will exposed in full and they’ll be held to account. There’s a day coming for you Biden and your degenerate son, as those who came before you, where you will taste hell and meet your maker.

Effort to downplay Gaza death toll 'is really out of place'
Former deputy UN Secretary General Mark Malloch Brown says the death toll in Gaza is likely to be an underestimate.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s PM programme earlier, Brown compared the situation in Gaza to an earthquake with lots of rubble everywhere. “Often the casualties double when you’re able to clear the buildings and find those tragic casualties underneath them”.
“This is one of the highest concentrations of civilian deaths in a conflict proportionately in modern times.”
Around 20,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.


Gaza death figures may be higher than reported - Yale scientist
As we've been reporting, the Hamas-run health ministry says 20,000 people have been killed in Gaza since 7 October.
Dr Dani Poole, a population health scientist at Yale University says one way to consider whether the figures are robust is to look at historic trends.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s PM programme, she says the figures from the Palestinian health ministry have historically been “aligned with independent United Nations estimates, and even the Israeli foreign ministry figures”.
Another way to look at them is to compare them with other data sources, she says, giving the example of the number of staff from the UN's Palestinian refugee agency Unrwa that have been killed.
Poole says the mortality rate for Unrwa staff is similar to the rate being put forward by the ministry of health for Gaza as a whole.
She also notes that people are only counted when they are brought into medical facilities or morgues, "which often people aren’t in an active war zone”.
She adds that several of these buildings have been damaged or destroyed, which creates a further problem for recording numbers.
These issues "would suggest possible under-reporting", she adds.

Just before the video starts there senor drool cup said something along the lines of 'we're pushing hard for a ceasefire'. Then he goes and says that. Not exactly confidence inducing.
