Israeli attacks on Gaza killed at least 84 Palestinians since dawn on Wednesday, medical sources told Al Jazeera, amid Israel’s starvation blockade that has been imposed on the territory since March 2.
Heavy Israeli strikes targeted Jabalia, northern Gaza, killing about 50 people in the area. At least 10 Palestinians were reported killed by attacks on the southern city of Khan Younis.
Israel issued a forced evacuation order for an area of Gaza City, threatening it would attack the neighborhood with “great force.” The order applied to the Al Shifa Hospital, and photos show patients being taken out of the facility on hospital beds.
A day earlier, Israel used bunker-busting bombs in strikes on the courtyard of the European Hospital in Khan Younis, killing 28 people. The IDF claimed it targeted a Hamas “command and control center” under the hospital, but it didn’t provide real evidence, and an analysis from Sky News contradicted the claim.
The Israeli military also struck the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Tuesday in a targeted assassination of journalist Hassan Aslih. The IDF took credit for the strike on the hospital and claimed Aslih of participated in the October 7 attack, but essentially acknowledged that he was a journalist since the accusation is that he “documented acts of murder, looting, and arson, posting the footage online.”
According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, the killing of Aslih brings the total number of journalists killed by the Israeli military in Gaza since October 2023 to 213.
The latest violence in Gaza comes as Israel has maintained a total blockade on all goods entering the Strip since March 2, pushing Palestinian civilians into starvation. The World Health Organization said Tuesday that 57 children have starved to death since the blockade was imposed.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Wednesday that since Israel resumed its genocidal war on March 18, at least 2,799 Palestinians have been killed, and 7,805 were injured. The numbers account for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals and morgues.
Since October 7, 2023, the ministry’s death toll has reached 52,928, and the number of wounded has climbed to 119,846, figures that don’t account for thousands missing and presumed dead under the rubble or indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege.
You really have to admire the incredible courage of these brave IDF bombers who constantly risk being shot down in the US imposed "No Fly Zone" over Gaza before they can drop their bombs on defenseless civilians in tents.
As much of what Israel is doing is shocking the world, God's judgment will make that shock mild in comparison. That fire was divine intervention.
You really have to admire (sarcasm intended) the incredible courage of Hamas leaders who continually use the good people of Gaza as human shields, instead of laying down their arms and releasing all the hostages which could have ended this mess 18 months ago.
You can't murder 20,000 innocent children by dropping "bunker busting bombs" on them and then pretend it's "the terrorists" fault. Nobody is buying that BS.
He knows that. That's what makes his type so utterly disgusting.
If you aren’t sickened by this savage butchery in Gaza than there is something wrong with you.
"Nobody is buying that BS" that the genocide is "'the terrorists' fault.'"
1/ No, increasingly few on this planet we live on – including in the US – are "buying" that justification for a naked genocide…
…although – as with the Israeli genocide generally – that justification has greater currency with older Republican and right wing demographics.
2/ As I & others have written, the genocide optics are so shocking that – for increasingly many – the optics tear through US-Zionist framing.
And, on the one hand, that is a long-term consolation – that is, I hope, in the long-term, the "BS" – the 'Israeli impunity narrative' – is failing.
3/ But on the other hand, Warren, in daily reality, the US-enabled Israeli genocide – the hideous daily infliction of genocidal death – continues.
And that makes me unwilling to console myself with a 'triumph-in-defeat' view.
Bibi Mileikowski has made it clear that even if Hamas releases all the prisoners taken on Oct 7 it wouldn't stop his government from ethnically cleansing Gaza.
You could post the many quotes from Netanyahu saying just that and that little turdfuck would still be spewing the same bullshit.
He's trying to defend the indefensible.
May 13, 2025 In Search of an Iconic Palestinian Photo to Commemorate Nakba Day 2025: Juggling Faith, Resistance and Love of Homeland
To commemorate Nakba Day (May 15) this year, I went in search of an iconic photo and immediately drowned in a sea of dead babies, maimed and starved children, bereaved mothers and flattened landscapes. This included Samar Abu Elouf’s award-winning photo of nine-year-old and armless Mahmoud Ajjour.

March 2nd
Blockade starts. Over 2 weeks before phase 1 of the ceasefire was supposed to end.
April 25th
Trump speaks publicly for first time about blockade 55 days after it began, Tells Netanyahu aid has got to be let in.
May 9th
Mike Huckabee unveils plan for aid to get in. Only enough for 60% of the population. It will be distributed where the Palestinians can be more conveniently ethnic cleansed.
May 15th
Still no aid allowed in. Day 75.
And the beat goes on.
You see when Trump says or utters soemthign MAGA immediately thinks it is already done adn accomplished. That's why Trump does it all the time. And he plays both sides. I saw that in his first term.
now he gives a speech to the Saudi royalty about world peace adn MAGA on fox believe it to be already accomplished.

"Israeli Strikes on Gaza Kill 84 Amid Starvation Blockade"
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…
"Another Report on Israel's Genocide. More Silence & Complicity From The Liberal West," John Mearsheimer (Antiwar, 5/14/25)
All fingers must be pointed at Hamas who initiated this mess 19 months ago and could have ended it at anytime since by laying down their arms and releasing all the hostages.
Pity those who have eyes but cannot see. Israel initiated it all in 1948 or the UK and US who created the state of Israel in the first place.
Would that be the same UK that abstained from voting on UNR 181, turned all of its key military posts over to the Arab forces as its own forces left, and seconded officers to command the Arab Legion? That UK there?
Probably the UK that issued the Balfour Declaration during WWI (1917) and then facilitated unlimited Jewish immigration into Palestine and the establishment of a Jewish state there for decades. That UK.
OK, so a UK that, in the latter case, never existed.
Not sure what you're saying there Tom.
The real UK, unlike the one in your imagination, did its damnedest to prevent Jewish immigration to Palestine.
The real UK, unlike the one in your imagination, did its damnedest to prevent Jewish immigration to Palestine.
Britain had a colonial mandate over Palestine for roughly 30 years, 1918 thru 1948. Palestine was awarded to them as a colonial prize among many others after WWI (aka “the War to make the World safe for democracy”) For most of that time they allowed unrestricted immigration of Jews willing to settle in Palestine with the goal of making it into a Jewish homeland. Palestinian concerns about demographic changes in their land were ignored and any resistance to Jewish nation building was suppressed under British colonial rule. IT was ONLY BECAUSE of the looming threat of War in Europe and Asia that Britain finally limited Jewish immigration into Palestine around 1938.
1938, huh? We’re talking about the era leading up to 1948.
You’re saying the equivalent of “Israel didn’t invade Gaza, really — look at October 6, 2023!”
We're talking about the era that included World War II when most of the Jews in Europe by that time were desperate to immigrate to Palestine if allowed. Britain chose to limit that immigration rather than risk a War with the Arabs.
And then Britain chose to provide officers for the Arab Legion, and turn all of its military posts over to the Arabs as it left, after abstaining from voting on UNR 181.
The embellished Israeli legend of how it won in 1948 entirely on its own, with zero assistance from anyone, isn’t true. Neither is the fairy tale that the UK supported it.
Britain soured on the Jews when it became clear they would demand the British get out of Palestine so that an independent Israel could be declared. The British had envisioned some type of Jewish colony in Palestine under British protection within the empire. The Jews for their part never forgave the British for slamming the doors to Palestine before the holocaust, thus dooming hundreds of thousands of Jews that might have been saved. The result was that Israel didn’t even wish to be in the Commonwealth (or maybe they weren’t invited) .
"The real UK, unlike the one in your imagination, did its damnedest to prevent Jewish immigration to Palestine."
1/ "Did it's damnednest to prevent"? Fuck, can't believe I'm gonna pull a piss stain…
AI search: "balfour declaration and jewish immigration"
"AI overview: "The [1917 British] Balfour Declaration…significantly impacted Jewish immigration to Palestine. It declared support for the establishment of a 'national home for the Jewish people' in Palestine… embolden[ing] Jewish immigration and [leading] to a surge in Jewish immigrants to Palestine."
2/ To be continued: Now checking that against Rashid Khalidi's take in my copy of…one of those book-thingies…"The Hundred Years' War on Palestine."
The Balfour Declaration had been abandoned by the mid-1920s. Prior to UNR 181, British naval vessels patrolled the waters off Palestine to stop immigration, would-be immigrants were interned in camps on Cyprus, and migrant Jews were hunted down by the British Mandatory police.

There's more to the story than Leon Uris' romanticized propaganda novel and later film, "Exodus".
Exactly.
"All fingers must be pointed at Hamas who initiated this mess-"
See, live-streams of this "mess" – Israeli-caged children on one side of the room, Israeli-guarded food piled up on the other…
…makes most'a the world puke in moral disgust.

Piss stain may be that – but he is first of all a genocidal zealot troll, dedicated to legitimating Israel's US-enabled genocide.
