Israeli occupation forces continue to attack the schools and residents, forcing them to evacuate. They are arresting young and old people, forcing women to remove their hijabs, confiscating lands, and destroying homes. Today, they are continuing with shelling, incursions, and heavy gunfire without any warnings. What Beit Hanoun is going through is a genocide of all forms of life. The occupation sends messages to the residents that there is no return for them to Beit Hanoun. Theirs a clear message they are trying to empty the city of any residents.

There's finally seems to be somewhat positive news coming out of Northern Gaza in that more aid is reaching the Gazans in the North which has led to way less children being admitted to hospital for malnutrion now than a few weeks ago, atleast according to a Norwegian doctor who is part of the NORWAC team stationed at the Kamal Adwan hospital. Other than that, the scenes in Gaza he has witness the past months is nothing short of horrifying.

Are there pictures of these mass graves? Surely western media pick up on this at one point.
The Guardian, CNN, Channel 4, and Le Monde, to quote a few, picked up on it but it still doesn't make it to the headlines. There's also zero outrage from any Western government official nor any adequate media coverage about this umpteenth war crime.

I wonder why.

Must be Khamas killing its human shields for the lolz, just because.

None of them have any pictures though. Surely that is the primary evidence and has the most impact.

For those wondering about the state of mind of IDF soldiers and how this "operation" is carried out, here's one of them speaking out.

Not sure what you're exactly on about unless you're really craving for decomposing corpses. The UN is calling for inquiry, multiple reputable sources are reporting it, a lot of them not really known for being pro-Palestinian. Also, Israel has forbidden any foreign journalist to set a foot in Gaza, unless "embedded".

Israel have banned Western journalists, and killed the Palestinian ones when they started a raid. We only find things out once the genocidal IDF have moved on, which is what is happening now. BBC has an image of Palestinians exhuming graves from the site on their website right now.

Leader of the SNP in the House of Commons used her two questions today to ask the Deputy PM about this.

SNP's spokesperson Mhari Black is up now - after wishing people a happy Passover, and paying tribute to Frank Field, she brings up reports of mass graves in Gaza.

She then points to the UK's own arms policy which she says if there is even a risk that war crimes may be taking place then that's reason enough to halt arms.

"Why has the PM yet to do so?" Black asks.

Dowden says the UK encourages the Israeli government to investigate allegations of misconduct.

"We can trust the Israeli government," Dowden says - adding the UK government keeps arms sale advice under review; it hasn't been changed and he believes that is the correct decision.

"We can trust the Israeli government", and there lies the issue. Get the genocidal maniacs to investigate themselves and trust the situation is resolved. Even if the situation in question involved the killing of British aid workers. Of course they wouldn't afford the same courtesy to the likes of Assad and Putin investigating themselves and trusting their own conclusions.

Yes I can hear you Clem Fandango!
Palestinian feminist scholar Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian is Professor of Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Global Chair in Law at Queen Mary, University of London.

Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian has been subjected – for more than six months – to a persistent and public repression of her academic freedom. Moreover, the fact that an internationally renowned scholar has been persecuted in this manner produces a chilling effect on academic freedom.

On March 12, 2024, Shalhoub-Kevorkian had been suspended from the Faculty of Law following her remarks on Israel's Channel 14 news, where she accused Israel of genocide in Gaza and cast doubt on reports of sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7.

In a shocking escalation of this repression, last week Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian was arrested and detained on charges of incitement to violence. Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian was released from prison on 19 April 2024. She continues to face grave risk:

  • According to her family, while Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian was incarcerated her hands and feet were shackled, she was put in urine-infested and cockroach-infested spaces, yelled at, and intimidated during several hours of interrogation. She was not able to sleep and was denied her essential medications.
  • Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian’s house was searched. Police took her laptop and smartphone, in addition to some of the papers she was working on, and a collection of poetry books and scripts by the poet Mahmoud Darwish.
  • While in custody, she was asked repeatedly about her academic publications and her interview on the podcast “Makdisi Street.”
  • Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian has been released from prison because the court did not find sufficient evidence to justify her immediate arrest or the continuation of her detention.However, judges at both the Magistrate Court and the District Court (Court of Appeal) maintained that Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian's scholarly work and statements could potentially amount to incitement. She was told she would be interrogated again this week.
  • A 12TV programme in Israel that aired on 20 April 2024 slandered her scholarship, claiming that the Palestinian children she interviewed for her research are terrorists. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem responded to the programme by further discrediting her research and stressing that they reject her scholarship.
  • While the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reversed the decision to suspend Prof. Shalhoub-Kevorkian and issued a statement against her arrest, they have not removed their social media post about her suspension, and they have neither acknowledged nor apologized for their role in inciting against her (e.g., the public release of the letters demanding her resignation, as well as the ongoing public condemnation of her scholarly work.)
Her family has circulated the following request for external support:

1. Write to Asher Cohen, President of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (asher.cohen@mail.huji.ac.il); Tamir Sheafer, Rector (tamir.sheafer@mail.huji.ac.il); and Asher Ben-Arieh, Dean of the School of Social Work (benarieh@mail.huji.ac.il). In your letter, you could demand that they apologize for the harm they have caused Professor Shalhoub-Kevorkian and that they use their influence to clear her name and to prevent the Israeli media from further inciting against her.


2. Create momentum for this issue on social media by calling for the immediate protection and prevention of further harassment and abuse of Professor Shalhoub-Kevorkian; use the hashtag #FreeNadera and tag @HebrewU.

4 bakeries were re-opened 3 days ago and some trucks with different items entered yesterday.

It's very hot in Gaza ( 100°F) in the last couple of days. This will worsen the conditions of people living outside their homes which is pretty much everyone, so they need all the help they could get.

Because there would've been no doubt for Western journalists that it's a genocide if they were seeing the destruction and death Israel have caused with their own eyes.

Germany apparently will resume UNRWA funding, they already resumed it before for their operations outside Gaza.

Any chance you (and everyone else when posting threads) can post the unrolled threads for the benefit of those of us who left Twitter?
Happy to do so if I'm told how...
