More than 600 days into its genocidal war in Gaza, some of Israel’s closest allies have begun to condemn its actions. Alongside the changing global narrative, growing opposition in Israel to the Netanyahu government’s war methods has seeped into the media coverage – fracturing a consensus that dates back to October 7, 2023.

It didn’t start on October 7: A historical timeline of Israel’s brutality towards Palestinians
The narrative around October 7 often overlooks the deep-rooted history of the Israel-Palestine conflict. This timeline reveals key events dating back to 1897, when the First Zionist Congress was held, through the Nakba in 1948, and decades of subsequent violence. The focus on a single day obscures a much longer story of displacement and systemic injustice that continues to affect Palestinians today.
Gaza hunger crisis: Desperate crowds storm US aid distribution site in Rafah as operation collapses
May 27, 2025 #Palestine #Israel #Gaza
Chaotic scenes unfolded in Rafah, southern Gaza, as Palestinians rushed a US aid distribution site in Tal as-Sultan, prompting American security personnel to fire warning shots. Israeli forces reportedly intervened remotely to disperse crowds. Israeli Army radio cited security sources distancing Israel from the incident while confirming US contractors regained control. The aid was distributed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a controversial organisation established after Israel blocked UN access in March. Footage shows desperate civilians amid strict aid restrictions. The foundation’s private contractor-led operations have drawn criticism for lacking UN neutrality protocols. This incident highlights escalating tensions over aid delivery in the besieged enclave.

Palestinians in Gaza are facing a death sentence
Doctors Without Borders / MSF-USA
We are running out of time to save lives. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic, as a result of the ongoing Israeli-imposed siege that has lasted for over two months. We call on the Israeli authorities and their supporters to abide by International Humanitarian Law and follow the principles which allow for unhindered humanitarian aid for people trapped inside the Strip.

Gaza’s stolen childhood – Who were the thousands of children Israel killed?
By Mohamed A. Hussein and Mohammed Haddad Published On 26 Mar 202526 Mar 2025
Israel kills a child in Gaza every 45 minutes.
That is an average of 30 children killed every day over the past 535 days.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed at least 17,400 children, including 15,600 who have been identified. Many more remain buried under the rubble, most presumed dead.
Many of the surviving children have endured the trauma of multiple wars, and all of them have spent their lives under the oppressive shadow of an Israeli blockade, affecting every aspect of their existence from birth.
What is left of Gaza’s children?
About half of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents are children.
Over the past 17 months, Israeli attacks have left their homes in ruins, destroyed their schools, and overwhelmed their healthcare facilities.
To put this in perspective, if you had a room of 100 children:
- 2 have been killed
- 2 are missing, presumed dead
- 3 have been wounded, many critically
- 5 have been orphaned or separated from their parents
- 5 require treatment for acute malnutrition
The rest of the children bear the invisible scars of war, trauma that affects their mental health, safety and future.
Who were these children Israel killed?
They were the sons and daughters of Gaza, each with a life that should have been filled with innocence and the joy of childhood.

UN exposes companies involved in Israeli settlements
TripAdvisor listing of settler-managed historical sight on Palestinian land
The image above is a TripAdvisor listing of a heritage site managed by settlers in the village of Susiya – on Palestinian land. The UN has released a list of over 100 other companies that also have business interests in Israeli settlements built on Palestinian land.
But why is this a problem?
Illegal Settlements
In 1967, Israel began the process of building settlements on occupied Palestinian territory.
Firstly, what is a settlement?
It is Israel’s building of villages, towns and cities on occupied Palestinian territory.
What makes them illegal?
The transfer of Israeli civilians to these settlements is illegal under international law. In fact it is a war crime according to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Hundreds of thousands Displaced
Since 1948, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had to flee their homes to escape violence or were forcibly removed. Not just their they lost their land and businesses too. Many are remain in refugee camps till this day. Here they have become parents and even grand parents.
Suffocating laws
Some Palestinians stayed behind and refused to give up their land. Their lives have been made impossible as consecutive governments have introduced discriminatory laws and policies, in the hope they will eventually leave. But as the settlements continue to expand some are still standing their ground.
What TripAdvisor doesn’t show you
(A resident of Susiya shows us a water system installed on his land for the sole benefite of the nearby settlement)
The Palestinian village of Susiya, in the occupied West Bank is home to around 300 Palestinians. The village has a few tents and shacks, a couple of water cisterns and some sheep. There is no access to electricity or running water.

What is the Axis of Resistance and can Iran still rely on it?
Al Jazeera English – 11 thg 11, 2024
The Axis of Resistance is a network of groups that have been a key part of Iran’s defence strategy for years. But we’ve now seen Israel and Iran attack each other directly, while Israel has invaded Lebanon to go after the biggest group in the Axis, Hezbollah. So what does this mean for the balance of power in the region, and where does the Axis of Resistance fit into it now? #AJStartHere with Sandra Gathmann explains. Chapters:

How U.S. news media manufactured ‘antisemitism on campuses’
AJ+ – 6-7-2024
Has antisemitism been rampant across U.S. college campuses since October 2023, or has that narrative been manufactured in service of shielding Israel from criticism for its genocide in Gaza? In this episode of “Backspace,” Sana Saeed looks at the roots of the “antisemitism on campus” media narrative and its role in crushing condemnation of a U.S-supported policy of genocide.

Thủ tướng Benjamin Netanyahu tuyên bố giải tán nội các thời chiến Israel, sau khi thủ lĩnh phe đối lập Benny Gantz rút khỏi cơ quan này.
Văn phòng Thủ tướng Israel hôm nay cho biết ông Netanyahu đêm qua thông báo giải tán nội các thời chiến, được thành lập sau khi giao tranh bùng phát với Hamas hồi tháng 10/2023.
Một quan chức Israel nói rằng sau khi giải tán nội các thời chiến, Thủ tướng Netanyahu sẽ tổ chức các cuộc tham vấn về chiến sự ở Gaza với nhóm nhỏ bộ trưởng, trong đó có Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Yoav Gallant và Bộ trưởng Các vấn đề Chiến lược Ron Dermer. Gallant và Dermer đều từng tham gia nội các thời chiến.

VNE – Thứ tư, 12/6/2024, 15:47 (GMT+7)
Cuộc điều tra của Liên Hợp Quốc cho thấy cả Israel và Hamas đều phạm tội ác chiến tranh trong giai đoạn đầu nổ ra xung đột ở Dải Gaza.
Ủy ban Điều tra Liên Hợp Quốc (COI) ngày 12/6 công bố hai báo cáo song song, gồm cuộc điều tra về việc Hamas tấn công Israel ngày 7/10/2023 và chiến dịch quân sự đáp trả của Tel Aviv.
Các cuộc điều tra trình bày đánh giá về giai đoạn đầu xung đột tới tháng 12/2023, cho thấy cả Israel và Hamas đều phạm tội ác chiến tranh như tra tấn, giết người, xúc phạm nhân phẩm, đối xử vô nhân đạo. Israel bị kết luận phạm thêm tội ác gồm sử dụng nạn đói như một phương thức chiến tranh, chặn nguồn cung thiết yếu cho người dân Gaza.
“Số thương vong dân sự lớn ở Dải Gaza và việc phá hủy quy mô lớn các vật thể, cơ sở hạ tầng dân sự là kết quả của một chiến lược mang mục đích gây thiệt hại tối đa, bất chấp nguyên tắc phân biệt rõ mục tiêu, đáp trả tương ứng”, COI ra tuyên bố.
