Able to identify specifically what IDF is doing (air strikes), but the vague allusions to 'actions of Hamas' is indicative of the all-consuming compulsion to 'both-sides' everything.

It is prohibited under international law to: (1) make individual civilians or the civilian population itself, the object of attack; (2) commit acts or make threats of violence aimed at spreading terror among the civilian population; (3) engage in collective punishment.

Netanyahu abandoning the ceasefire deal to salvage his radical far-right government is despicable. Stick to the deal. Free the hostages. End the killing. Withdraw from Gaza. It’s sickening to see a renewed military offensive, so many more kids dead, and any peace disappear.

This attack appears patently illegal. 1. A hospital may not be attacked unless a) it is being used, outside its humanitarian function, to commit acts harmful to the enemy b) a warning is issued and unheeded c) rules of distinction, precaution and proportionality are observed

The health ministry has released a 1,516–page document listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians confirmed killed in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. There are a total of 474 pages listing 15,600+ children’s names. The first 27 pages the age is listed as 0 — children under 1 year old

Hudson's Bay managers will get up to $3 million in bonuses, but workers get no severance. Not surprising for a company that was founded on colonial theft and exploitation. cbc.ca/news/business/…

Watch: Disturbing video shows jail guards carrying out violent, hours-long retribution at Maplehurst. Ontario government lawyers tried to prevent the public release of the videos. But the Star won access in court. Read more: thestar.com/news/investiga…

“we heard the sound of Israeli soldiers arriving at the location ... with statements like: ‘Gather them at the wall and bring some restraints to tie them.’” "He said the body of one of the victims was recovered from the grave with his hands still tied." theguardian.com/world/2025/mar…

One group attacked, then the rescuers attacked, killed, the ambulances and fire trucks bulldozed, the bodies pushed into a shallow mass grave. theguardian.com/world/2025/mar…

Rachel Gilmore You missed the part about after the 10 years, you have indefinite incarceration too. My op/ed: Pierre Poilievre's “three strikes” proposal is a failed US import that raises homicides by up to 29% and leads to absurd sentences (25 years for pizza theft). It’s also patently

"Israel appears to be inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life increasingly incompatible with their continued existence as a group in Gaza." All States must act now to stop this. South Africa must return to the ICJ, or the Court must act on its own.

This is collective punishment, an unequivocal war crime. Israel's FM: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers preventing Hamas from using it as a tool with the population.” theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…
