Israel and Genocide: Not Only In Gaza

It was on the streets of Guatemala City in 1987 when I began awakening to Israel's partnership with the USA in facilitating genocide. Today we are "seeing genocide"–a decades-long cumulative "genocidal condition"–being played out, as Israeli Modern Culture and Media Professor, Ariella Aisha...

Gaza Civil Defence: We lost 40 members from Israeli targeting

Mahmoud Basal, the Gaza Civil Defence spokesman, told Al Jazeera:
  • Our work is now primitive because of the absence of heavy rescue equipment.
  • A large number of people killed are under the rubble of destroyed buildings in the north.
  • Israeli army vehicles ran over a number of Palestinian bodies.
  • A large number of bodies are decomposing because of the difficulty reaching them.
  • Jabalia is subjected to a real genocide by the Israeli occupation.
  • Israeli forces have dredged wells in a number of areas and we appeal to the world to intervene.
  • The number of civil defence members killed has risen to 40 since the start of the war.
  • The Israeli military prevents us from extricating survivors by targeting us.
  • We monitored many Palestinians being run over by Israeli army vehicles in Tal al-Hawa area in Gaza City.

‘There’s just darkness’ – Anger and grief in Bethlehem

The typically bustling biblical birthplace of Jesus resembles a ghost town after Christmas Eve celebrations in Bethlehem were called off because of the war.
The festive lights and Christmas tree that normally decorate Manger Square are missing along with the throngs of foreign tourists and jubilant youth marching bands that gather in the West Bank town each year to mark the holiday. Dozens of Palestinian security forces patrolled the empty square.
“This year, without the Christmas tree and without lights, there’s just darkness,” said Brother John Vinh, a Franciscan monk from Vietnam who has lived in Jerusalem for six years.
Vinh said he always comes to Bethlehem to mark Christmas, but this year was especially sobering. He gazed at a nativity scene in Manger Square with a baby Jesus wrapped in a white shroud, reminiscent of the thousands of children killed in the fighting in Gaza.
“Our message every year on Christmas is one of peace and love, but this year it’s a message of sadness, grief and anger in front of the international community with what is happening and going on in the Gaza Strip,” Bethlehem’s Mayor Hana Haniyeh said in an address to the crowd.
