The Israeli occupation forces, which have been starving and bombing the people of northern Gaza for more than forty days, finally let a single shipment of aid into the besieged area. Even left to be distributed, it would have been utterly inadequate for the four hundred thousand desperate people kettled in northern Gaza and designated combatants by Israel’s military – but within a few hours Israel’s military bombed the school where it was being stored and distributed.
The attack destroyed the food and killed at least ten people, wounding many more and leaving body parts strewn around and within the building. Hossam Shbat, one of the handful of remaining journalists in north Gaza who were designated a terrorist and put on a kill list by the occupation forces – at least two of them are already believed to have been killed – reported on the aftermath:
The scale of the devastation and the despair of the wounded can be seen in this footage:
The attack was at least the third within the last week targeting families sheltering in damaged schools:
The area around the school was also hit, causing further casualties and appalling damage:
The few surviving journalists, despite Israel targeting them for death – the colonial regime has already killed hundreds of their colleagues in Gaza – continue to expose Israel’s war crimes and are the reason we know about this latest sick entrapment and murder. No wonder the regime wants them silenced.

Thank God you and other independent journalists tell us the truth because the MSM certainly don’t. They are far more interested in defending a journalist who didn’t know, and didn’t check a Pakistani flag, before ascribing it to Palestine!
And Western Lightweight politicians finished their cornflakes and just shrugged their shoulders.
Hopefully history will record that they were eventually held to account.
These Israeli actions are disgusting manifestations of the US replacing the well defined and documented rules of ‘International Law’ with its Rules Based Order’ which is merely whatever the US says it is. So that mass murder and starvation are deemed legitimate means of self defence. Which people like Starmer use as an excuse at all times.
The ‘Rules based order’ is seen as a competing order advocated by some Western states, particularly the United States, which seeks to impose the interpretation of international law that best advances the interests of the West, particularly those of the United States. Unlike international law it does not seem to be a universal order. Instead, it is an order employed by the West, again particularly the United States, to ensure its dominance. This might is right policy has been invoked over many years, in Iraq, Syria and other places, it is now backed by NATO and is now the cutting edge of US hegemony, but for how long?

I was just checking out The Times of Israel to see what they’ve posted on their website recently and, as such, came across the following article posted late last night (November 17th). It’s pretty long, and of course pushes the narrative that the Israeli football fans were the poor innocent victims etc, and denigrates any alternative narrative, and this one short passage sums it up:
[Kevin] Kreuger [a council member] lamented the unwillingness to name the attackers by their background and motive, which he described as “Jew-hatred driven by Islam.”
“Everybody saw the videos, heard the attackers speak Arabic. It’s like they are a group we need to feel sorry for and protect,” Kreuger said.
Oh how the propagandists lurve turning everything on its head and amusing those who are in the know. And the author throws the following in as well, which I have little doubt is a falsehood, concocted to neutralise what the Israeli thugs did:
Since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel and subsequent conflict in Gaza, desecrating Israeli flags at protests has become a common occurrence in the Dutch capital.
‘Who attacked Israelis in Amsterdam? Some Dutch politicians can’t bring themselves to say’
https://www.timesofisrael.com/who-attacked-israelis-in-amsterdam-some-dutch-politicians-cant-bring-themselves-to-say/
PS And has anyone seen any vids of these ‘”youths on scooters” that have been mentioned repeatedly from day one, cos I HAVEN’T?
Actually, thinking about it again, Kreuger isn’t so much turning it on its head… he’s mocking the people in Amsterdam who were outraged by the false narrative that was being disseminated by everyone, including the king, and the MSM. I’m referring to the bit where he says: “… It’s like they are a group we need to feel sorry for and protect”, and does so knowing of course that THAT is precisely what the propagandists et al did in relation to the Israeli thugs.
Anyway, it occurred to me shortly after I posted my comment above to do a search on the ToI website re >protesters in amsterdam desecrate israeli flag< and absolutely nothing came up in the results. Who would have thunk it!
