#IDF destroyed the last operating cell tow in Rafah and set it on fire.
One of the key goals of Israel is to prevent the world witnessing what they are doing in Gaza. From murder of reporters, preventing foreign press to enter and destroying the means of communication, they are setup up the stage for full blown assault on #Rafah and mass murder of innocent palestinians who have no where to go.
The more resistance that the colonized shows, the more brutal the colonizer becomes. Genocidal Israel is now walking in the footsteps of all other settler colonies on their deathbed.
Today in labor history April 28, 1789: Fletcher Christian led a group of mutineers against the brutal Captain Bligh on the HMS Bounty. Christian began the voyage as the captain’s mate, but Bligh appointed him acting Lieutenant during the voyage. The story of the voyage and mutiny was later retold by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall in their novel “Mutiny on the Bounty.” After their successful mutiny, Christian, 9 other mutineers, 6 Tahitian men and 11 Tahitian women, started a colony on the South Pacific Island of Pitcairn. However, when the mutineers tried to enslave them, the Tahitians rebelled and killed most of them. But not until after many of the Tahitian women became pregnant. The decedents of the mutineers and the Tahitians continue to live there today. Bligh had previously served on the Resolution, as Master, under Captain Cook, on his second and third voyages to Hawaii. And he was present when the native Hawaiians killed Cook.
On se souvient souvent de Marlon Brando dans le rôle, mais perso, le premier que j'ai vu était interprété par Clark Gable et l'horrible Capitaine Bligh, c'était Charles Laughton.
Washington et Bruxelles ont annoncé ce vendredi 19 avril des sanctions financières contre des colons extrémistes, dont certains proches du pouvoir israélien. Des mesures plus fermes que ce qui se faisait jusqu’alors, mais pas assez pour empêcher la colonisation en Cisjordanie de s’étendre.
ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt’s offensive comparison between the Palestinian keffiyeh and a Nazi swastika aims to smear Palestinian culture and criminalize Palestinians themselves.
Today In Labor History April 7, 1804: Haitian general, Toussaint Louverture died on this day. He was one of the most prominent members of the Haitian revolution for independence from France. The slave revolt against the French began in 1791 with the call by Dutty Boukman, a vodou priest. Encouraged by the French and American revolutions. Louverture led 100,000 enslaved Haitians in revolt, winning their freedom in 1793. In 1804, Haiti became first free black republic in the world. The U.S. refused to recognize Haiti for the next 70 and France extracted millions in restitution, destroying any hope of ever moving out of deep poverty. Louverture was betrayed in the end and died in prison. For a fantastic history of the Haitian Revolution, read “The Black Jacobins,” by C.L.R.James.
US Senator Bernie #Sanders criticized the #Biden administration after reports emerged of the #US providing Israel with more bombs that were responsible for killing thousands of innocent Palestinians in #Gaza.
Just to understand the BS of Biden about a port in Gaza, remember that there are these land entries into Gaza available RIGHT now.
It's truly sickening to read and listen to all the nonsense about Biden using American Navy to set up a port of "entry" into Gaza while ignorijg the fact that there are 7 points of entry to the besieged Gaza, with over 130 trailer trucks waiting to be approved by IDF in Rafah and 100s of Jewish extremists blocking the passage of trucks via Karam Abu Salem border crossing.
The goal is not to help palestinians, it is to set-up military access and a way to deport Palestinians from Gaza in the name of humanitarian intervention.
The Israel lobby is attempting to indoctrinate Americans that the context for the October 7 attack is the Holocaust. This is a misrepresentation. The Palestinians had nothing to do with the Holocaust.

Kibbutz leader confirms movement’s role in establishing and maintaining Israeli apartheid
The kibbutz has long been celebrated by liberals as an example of Israel’s socialist pedigree, but movement head Nir Meir says the “first mission” of kibbutzim was “to conquer the land,” and today it stands ready to “maintain outposts” by Gaza.
Malak Mattar’s 2023 oil on canvas painting “Mother Nature Embracing the Boy and His Horse” is on display at the Garden Court Chambers in London through the end of 2023.
Adnan al-Barsh, head of orthopaedics at al-Shifa Hospital has told Al Jazeera “there’s not a single hospital or medical facility in service in northern Gaza Strip.
“The Baptist Hospital is besieged, the Indonesian Hospital already out of service without any resources left or medical supplies. We as doctors, we did all what we could until the last minute in order to save the victims,” he said.
“We were adamant not to leave without our patients… we were forced to leave at gunpoint.”
Horrible, unprecedented, humiliating: Doctor describes evacuation order from al-Shifa
The Israeli army called at around 9am [7:00 GMT], warning that all those leaving had to wave a white handkerchief and walk in a single line.
About 450 patients were evacuated, while about 120 patients were left behind as they cannot move. To assist them, the hospital’s director, four other doctors and a small group of nurses remained.
Doctors Without Borders (@MSF) confirmed that staff at Al Nasr Hospital in Gaza had to leave babies in #incubators behind as they evacuated southward, driven out by Israeli shelling. (I rarely link Washington Post because it’s behind a paywall) @israel@palestine
Et si avant le 7 octobre, il y avait eu 75 ans d'occupation, de colonisation, de destructions, de vols, de viols, de meurtres, d'apartheid et de nettoyage ethnique ?
