The Israeli military killed at least 38 Palestinians in Gaza on Thursday, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as US-backed Israeli attacks continue to pound targets across the Strip.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said earlier in the day that at least 25 Palestinians had been killed and 89 wounded in the previous 24-hour period, a total that only accounts for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals.
The ministry also said that since Israel restarted its genocidal war with massive airstrikes on March 18, at least 855 Palestinians have been killed, and 1,869 have been wounded.
Israeli attacks on Thursday included the bombing of a market in central Gaza, which killed at least seven Palestinians. An Israeli strike also killed a worker for the World Central Kitchen, a US-based aid group that’s lost several employees to Israeli attacks.
“Our hearts are heavy today as we mourn the loss of one of our volunteers in Gaza,” the World Central Kitchen said on X. “Israeli strikes hit near one of our WCK-supported community kitchens just as meals were being distributed. Jalal was tragically killed, and six other people were injured.”
Israeli strikes also killed Abdel Latif al-Qanoua, a spokesman for Hamas. According to a statement from Hamas, he was killed by an Israeli strike on his tent in the northern city of Jabalia.
The UN’s World Food Program warned on Thursday that it was running out of food supplies in Gaza as Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza since March 2, cutting off the delivery of food, fuel, and all other goods.
“Hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza are again at risk of severe hunger and malnutrition as humanitarian food stocks in the Strip dwindle and borders remain closed to aid,” the WFP said.
“Meanwhile, the expansion of military activity in Gaza is severely disrupting food assistance operations and putting the lives of aid workers at risk every day,” the UN agency added.

Protests are ongoing in Newark, NJ, today outside the Federal Court where Mahmoud Khalil's legal team is challenging his detention and potential deportation. The court will decide whether Khalil's case should remain in New Jersey or be transferred to Louisiana, as requested by the Trump administration.

Good!!
Deporting people for protests and speech and trying to equate it to crime or even terrorism (!) is so tyrannical. We are all next…
Sorry the link is mainstream ABC.
'The government revoked Ozturk's visa due to her pro-Palestinian activism, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who added the State Department may have revoked more than 300 student visas since the beginning of the second Trump administration.
It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa," Rubio said during a press conference in Guyana on Thursday.'

It’s actually encouraging that corporate media covered it. Although it would be a negative against Trump rather than a deep dive broader discussion on genocide.
Drop Site News, Scahill and Grim are redeeming themselves by doing excellent work here on the ME, after the Intercept went downhill.
Few days back we had news generated out of MSM of protests against Hamas, an old tactic, with links to attacks on Hamas inside antiwar.com news coverage.
This video answers on the question of what's going on with this tactic and its history. From Electronic Intifada:
“All protests favoring my side are real, organic expressions of outrage. All protests not favoring my side are fake affairs ginned up by outside agitators.”
This comment seems to be an interpretation of what's presented in the video. If so, I disagree. We have a historical report on a tactic to try to alienate Hamas from Palestinians. The report acknowledges opposition to Hamas does exist amongst Palestinians. However, surveys on how much support there is consistently favor Hamas, so we are left with the question of what is an accurate view–are they thugs and criminals (MSM portrayal) or seen as better than the PA at least, thus honored leaders? This discussion might also answer the question of what views Palestinians have of what Hamas started up on October 7, with its horrific consequences by the Israelis.
Nefariouness
The butcher of gaza
strikes again and again
with a free pass
from the abyss
Starvation
incessant bombardment
crimes of the most low
vile as evil can be
Voices of dissent
from near and afar
murdered
locked up
life goes on
Eggs are so expensive
oh my i just dont understand
trump is so busy
making insanity the norm
If you know a god
could you ask
please do something
if your not too busy
What do i do?
not enough
but if one day
they come for me
then i know i did my part..
