  1. Do I like Trump?
    NO! He's an AIPAC stooge.
    Like Biden. Like Harris.

    Like all of them, except the Jewish one - Jill Stein.

    This could have all been avoided if the Hamas did not rape and murder hundreds of Israelis on October 7th while taking hundreds hostage.

    Erdogan: Israel is a 'Zionist terrorist organisation'

    Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan today called Israel a “Zionist terrorist organisation” over its attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, and repeated his criticism of Western powers, namely the United States, over the support given to Israel, Reuters reports.

    Speaking to lawmakers from his ruling AK Party in parliament, Erdogan also said the cross-border fire between Israel and Iran in recent days had heightened the risk of a regional conflict.

    Erdogan has been critical of israel’s policy in Gaza since the start of the genocidal war in OCtober last year.

    Addressing the UN general Assembly last month, Erdogan drew parallels between the actions of Israel in Gaza and Lebanon, and the Nazi Third Reich.

    “Just as Hitler was stopped by an alliance of humanity 70 years ago, Netanyahu and his murder network must be stopped by an alliance of humanity,” said the Turkish president. “The UN General Assembly’s authority to recommend the use of force should be considered.”

    Earlier this month he said that the international community cannot remain silent over Israel’s “rampage” that is pushing the entire region “into fire”.

    “A handful of extremist Zionists blinded by hatred are throwing our region and the entire world into fire, and we will never accept this injustice and this barbarism,” explained Erdogan. “The UN General Assembly should recommend the use of force, in line with a resolution it passed in 1950, if the UN Security Council fails to stop Israel’s attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.”

    Israel Orders 400,000 Palestinians to Leave Northern Gaza While Firing on Them

    Hospitals and shelters have been forced to shut down in an area that has not received humanitarian aid in over a week.

    The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees said Wednesday that at least 400,000 people are trapped in northern Gaza as Israeli forces ramp up their bombardment of the area, killing dozens and intensifying an already nightmarish humanitarian emergency.

    “Northern Gaza: no end to hell,” Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), wrote on social media. “Recent evacuation orders from the Israeli authorities are forcing people to flee again and again, especially from Jabalia Camp. Many are refusing because they know too well that no place anywhere in Gaza is safe.”

    Lazzarini said some UNRWA shelters and services in northern Gaza have been forced to shut down amid the Israeli assault “for the first time since the war began” over a year ago.

    “With almost no basic supplies available, hunger is spreading and deepening again,” said Lazzarini. “This recent military operation also threatens the implementation of the second phase of the polio vaccination campaign for children. Children are as ever, the first and most to suffer. They deserve so much better, they deserve a cease-fire now, they deserve a future.”

    Zero humanitarian aid has entered besieged northern Gaza in over a week, according to aid groups and the U.N., and incessant Israeli attacks have rendered the area’s hospitals largely inaccessible. Israeli forces have ordered the area’s hospitals to evacuate, endangering patients and healthcare workers.

    The director of northern Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital told Drop Site on Wednesday that he is refusing to comply with Israel’s evacuation order.

    “As long as there are patients, I won’t leave,” said Dr. Hossam Abu Safia. “I’ve been here since the genocide started, and I am determined to continue helping my people.”

    At least dozens of people have reportedly been killed in the Israeli military’s latest assault on northern Gaza, but emergency workers on the ground have said it’s impossible to determine the true toll given Israel’s ongoing bombing campaign, which has targeted the Jabalia refugee camp and other areas in the region.

    Citing Gaza’s Civil Defense, The Associated Press reported Wednesday that an Israeli airstrike “hit a family home” in the Jabalia camp, “killing at least nine people” — including two women and two children.

    “Footage shared by the Civil Defense showed first responders recovering dead bodies and body parts from under the rubble,” the outlet noted.

    On Monday — the one-year anniversary of the Hamas-led October 7 attack and the beginning of Israel’s devastating response — Israeli forces ordered swaths of famine-stricken northern Gaza to evacuate, instructing residents to move south to Deir Al-Balah and Al-Mawasi, badly overcrowded so-called “humanitarian zones” that the Israeli military has repeatedly bombed.

    After ordering most of northern Gaza to evacuate, Israeli forces fired on Palestinians desperately trying to flee.

    Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders, said Tuesday that Israel’s forced displacement of Palestinians is “turning the north of Gaza into an unlivable wasteland, effectively emptying out the whole north of the strip of Palestinian life.”

    “The latest move to forcefully and violently push thousands of people from northern Gaza to the south is turning the north into a lifeless desert, while aggravating the situation in the south, where more than one million people have already been squeezed into a small portion of the Gaza Strip and live in deplorable conditions,” said Sarah Vuylsteke, an MSF project coordinator in Gaza.

    “Access to water, healthcare, and safety is already almost nonexistent, and the thought of more people fitting into this space is impossible to imagine,” Vuylsteke added. “People have been subjected to endless displacement and relentless bombing for the past 12 months. Enough is enough, this must stop now.”

    In a joint statement on Wednesday, a coalition of 18 aid groups warned that the ongoing Israeli assault “will worsen the already dire humanitarian situation in the north” and has already “prevented international and national humanitarian organizations from carrying out already very limited lifesaving aid operations.”

    “The new orders have obstructed humanitarian actors from providing necessities such as health services, clean water, food, and nutrition services, taking away the remaining lifelines for the civilian population,” reads the statement signed by Oxfam, ActionAid, Islamic Relief, and more than a dozen other groups.

    “Nowhere in Gaza is safe for civilians,” the coalition said. “Given the severity of the needs, humanitarian actors must be able to distribute aid and continue their work, without threat of displacement or military operations. The undersigned aid organizations urge all parties to the conflict to uphold their obligations to protect civilians and facilitate unhindered humanitarian access at all times.”

    At least 60 people were killed in Israeli military strikes on Gaza Strip Wednesday, Palestinian medics said ,as Israeli forces pressed on with a raid in the enclave's north where a UN aid official said hunger is spreading again.

    Israel has repeatedly issued evacuation orders to residents of Jabalia and nearby areas, but Palestinian and UN officials say there are no safe places to flee to in the Gaza Strip.

    "At least 400,000 people are trapped in the area," Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN aid agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, posted on X.

    Medics said an Israeli strike killed at least 15 people inside Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital in Jabalia. The hospital houses displaced families living in tents.

    The Gaza health ministry said the army had ordered three hospitals in northern Gaza to evacuate and that hundreds of patients and medics were trapped inside those facilities.

    Gaza health officials said at least 32 people were killed in Jabalia and the nearby areas in the north, while the others were killed in the central and southern Gaza Strip.

    The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service said it had received unconfirmed reports that dozens of Palestinians may have been killed in Jabalia and other areas of northern Gaza, but is unable to reach them because of Israeli bombardments.

    In one Israeli strike overnight on a house in Shejaia, nine people of the same family were killed, medics said. Others were killed overnight in central areas of the Gaza Strip.

    More than 42,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli offensive since October 7 last year, the Gaza health ministry says.

    By Al Jazeera Staff 9 Oct 2024

    Washington, DC – United States President Joe Biden has reaffirmed his “ironclad” support for Israel during a phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House says, amid an escalation of violence in Gaza and Lebanon.

    The call between the two leaders on Wednesday lasted 30 minutes and was their first publicly announced conversation since August.

    The White House said in a statement that Vice President Kamala Harris, who is running to succeed him in the US presidential election next month, joined the call.

    “The president affirmed his ironclad commitment to Israel’s security,” it added. “He condemned unequivocally Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel on October 1.”
