Investigation Exposes How Etsy Profits From Israeli Apartheid | Common Dreams
"Etsy isn't simply turning a blind eye to stores listed on its site operating in illegal Israeli settlements—it is directly profiting from and even in certain cases, promoting them," said one campaigner.

This is specific.
AJ,
Egypt asks its airlines to avoid Iran airspace for three hours on Thursday
Egypt has instructed all its airlines to avoid Iranian air space for a three-hour period on Thursday morning.
Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs), safety notices provided to pilots on Wednesday, said the instruction would be in effect from 01:00GMT to 04:00GMT. It provided no further details as to why the notice was issued.
“All Egyptian carriers shall avoid overflying Tehran (Flight information Region) FIR. No flight plan will be accepted overflying such territory,” the notice said, referring to the three-hour period provided.
Many airlines are revising their schedules to avoid Iranian and Lebanese airspace while also calling off flights to Israel and Lebanon, as many fear a possible broader conflict after the killing of senior members of militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
On Sunday, Jordan’s authorities asked all airlines landing at its airports to carry 45 minutes worth of extra fuel.

Israel/Gaza: Statement by the High Representative on remarks of Minister Smotrich regarding starving civilians
The European Union strongly condemns recent declarations of Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich at the Katif Annual Conference.
Deliberate starvation of civilians is a war crime. Minister Smotrich saying that “it might be justified and moral” to let Israel “cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger” until the “hostages are returned” is beyond ignominious. It demonstrates, once again, his contempt for international law and for basic principles of humanity.
We expect the Israeli government to unequivocally distance itself from the words of Minister Smotrich, as well as to establish transparency on the reported acts of torture in the Sde Teiman prison.
The EU continues urging Israel to implement the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and binding orders of the International Court of Justice, and ensure full and unimpeded humanitarian access to cover the needs of scores of civilians, including hundreds of thousands of children, living in extremely dire conditions and exposed to famine and disease in Gaza.
The EU reiterates its call for an immediate ceasefire that leads to the release of all hostages and a significant and sustained increase in the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Tiny Hats getting nervous in Tel Aviv. Let's all hope that their worst nightmare finally comes true. They want Ukraine let them have front row turns entering the meat grinder.

Israel minister condemned for saying starvation of millions in Gaza might be ‘justified and moral’
EU, UK and France urge Israel’s government to distance itself from comments by its finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich
www.theguardian.com
Excerpt:
The EU, France and UK have condemned a senior Israeli minister for suggesting it might be “justified and moral” to starve people in Gaza.
The comments from Israel’s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, in which he said “no one in the world will allow us to starve two million people, even though it might be justified and moral in order to free the hostages”, sparked international outrage.
In his speech this week, he went on to say that Israel was “bringing in humanitarian aid because we have no choice. We are in a situation that requires international legitimacy to conduct this war.”

UN expert rebukes Germany’s staunch support of Israel amid ICC war crimes probe
The UN’s special rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory has called out Germany’s staunch defence of Israel amid its war on Gaza, saying “it’s time to wake up to reality”.
In a post on social media related to Germany’s submission to the International Criminal Court (ICC) challenging a request for warrants seeking the arrest of Israeli leaders over alleged war crimes in Gaza, Francesca Albanese asked: “How can this be forgiven?”
While Germany could stay “silent in the corner of history, you are doing all you can to make it wrong, once again,” the UN rapporteur said.
“I understand. The pressure you have been under. The Holocaust that the Third Reich committed and most ordinary Germans let happen (other Europeans also watched idle or supported it). The sense of guilt. Its collective dimension,” Albanese wrote.
Germany, she added, was torn between supporting the primacy of international laws and “the security of Israel (or its apartheid?)”.

AJ,
Israel bombs two schools, kills 12 Palestinians
Gaza’s Civil Defence reports that an Israeli bombing has hit the al-Zahraa School and the Abdel Fattah Hamoud School, both in the eastern area of Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip.
The rescue organisation says that seven people were killed in the al-Zahraa School and five in the Hamoud School, bringing the death toll across both of these attacks to 12.
A ‘bloody’ past 24 hours in Khan Younis
Every passing day is a horrific day for Palestinians. Everywhere they go they’re being targeted, forced to flee. Right now, there’s no safe place across the Gaza Strip, including the designated humanitarian safe zones that have been repeatedly targeted.
The past 24 hours have been especially bloody in the central and southern parts of the Strip, mainly the city of Khan Younis. During this time, 27 people have been reported killed, the majority of them women and children. Eighteen of the 27 were killed in Khan Younis city. Five of those 18 were killed inside a tent [last night]. They included a mother and her children. They were incinerated. Other civilian casualties were in the western part of the city and the southeastern part of Deir el-Balah city.
The attacks are happening without any prior warning.
‘Children have a right to be protected from violence’: UNICEF
The UN’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has urged for “immediate de-escalation” in the Middle East for the sake of the region’s children.
In a statement, the agency said every attack during the Gaza war has brought “news of children among those killed”.
“In less than a year, thousands of children have been killed across the State of Palestine, Israel, Lebanon and the occupied Golan Heights,” it said.
“Beyond those tragic deaths, there are many more boys and girls suffering from injuries that have forever marked their bodies and caused immeasurable damage to their mental health.”
UNICEF warned that if violence escalates further, “the situation for children threatens to get far, far worse”.
“Immediate de-escalation is essential to safeguard the lives and well-being of children, as the alternative is unconscionable,” it said. “Children have a right to be protected from violence and this should always be upheld.”
Witnesses recount Israeli attack on Deir el-Balah ‘safe zone’
We’ve been reporting on an Israeli attack on Deir el-Balah that killed at least three Palestinians and wounded dozens more.
Witnesses told Al Jazeera in video testimony that the missile attack on Wednesday came with little warning and “ripped apart” the bodies of victims.
“The Israeli forces called some residents and ordered us to leave,” one man said. “They fired a warning missile and we ran for our lives. Three missiles were fired at this area in a matter of minutes.”
Another man said the Israelis “warned people to leave but before anyone could move, Israeli planes fired missiles at us”. The attack left people “dismembered, their bodies ripped apart,” he said.
A third said the targeted site was in a so-called “safe zone”.
“Most of the people here have been displaced numerous times – from Rafah, Khan Younis and central Gaza – now they’re all crammed into Deir el-Balah,” he said. “The Israelis claim it is a safe zone, why are they shelling the area now? This is all false propaganda.”
Israeli rights group releases video clips of settler attacks in occupied West Bank
Yesh Din, which works on rights issues in the occupied territory, said the footage shows Israeli settlers attacking a Palestinian home with rocks and setting fire to a seating area in front of a Palestinian home. In a second clip, cars are set alight in a car park in the Palestinian village of Yatma, located south of Nablus.
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, in the seven days up to Monday this week, Israeli settlers carried out 27 attacks against Palestinians in the occupied territory resulting in 17 people injured, including two children, and damage to property.
Since October 7 and this week, the UN has recorded 1,143 settler attacks on Palestinians, including 114 that led to death and injuries, and 964 cases of property damage. Settler violence has also displaced about 1,500 Palestinians, including 720 children, the UN said.
Death toll in Bureij strike rises to 15
Earlier, we reported an Israeli air strike on a home in central Gaza’s Bureij refugee camp.
The death toll from that attack now stands at 15, according to Wafa, up from 10 reported earlier.
In addition, separate Israeli strikes on homes in the nearby Nuseirat camp killed four people, according to medics cited by AFP.

Wikipedia has bitten the bullet and labeled the Gaza situation as a genocide.
The interesting takeaway is we are seeing the collapse of Israel power in real time. Because Wiki has always presented the Zionist narrative.

Anything with Mr Finklestein deserves to be posted. Can’t help but wonder why Piers is talking about Israel when England is in turmoil. Then again, I’m reminded that he’s a gargoyle watching from his ivory tower, totally indifferent to human suffering.
