Since when did bombing shelters become normal and okay? Since when is bombing hospitals with the already suffering people in it justifiable? Gaza is undergoing the worst and lowest point yet, Israel is bombing and targeting hospitals more than ever. With the ground invasion, everything is getting worse.
Two days ago, Israel started dropping a new kind of weapon. Al shifa hospital has been hit by a Hellfire R9X missile. It is a Hellfire variant with a kinetic warhead with pop-out blades instead of explosives, used against specific human targets. Designed specifically to mutilate humans. Every day the genocide gets worse, injuries like we've never seen before, please never stop talking about gaza nor Palestine. They need us.
"... a stark reminder that genocide is about more than just the premeditated mass extinguishing o human life; it's also about the calculated, and often vindictive, destruction of a people's culture, language, history, and shared sites of community."

This is real, winter has started and there is no way to protect Palestinians in Gaza. Keep demanding a Ceasefire!!!!
This is a 7th grader. He was returning from his school in Qalandia camp in north Jerusalem, and the occupation surrounded the camp. Soldiers didn't allow him to return home and shot him in the leg.

the fact is, israel now definitely realises that no one believes its bullshit anymore, especially seeing the mass movement and huge shift in narrative in response to its ongoing war against Gaza. this tells israel that the mask is now completely off and the masses no longer believe its claims of being the victim and whatever the hell else.
this explains why the scale of violence has been so overwhelming in recent weeks, considering there is nothing for israel to justify anymore and no pretences to keep up for those who used to fall for them.
there is also the sense of embarrassment; a whole military apparatus with billions in annual aid still could not break a besieged, starved enclave (it never will). we have been hearing about ground invasion this, ground invasion that and we have yet to see anything tangible.
again, the public for the most part has now seen who israel really is; a genocidal, terrorist state, and israel knows there's no turning back from this so it ramped up the violence to cause as much damage as possible before it is forced to halt its current acceleration of the ongoing genocide.
U.S. officials are literally telling israel to "pause" so that people can ease up a little and be lulled back into complacency. always remember this and let's keep doing what we're doing because the tides have really turned.
Israel has worked hard to portray Gaza as a barren wasteland, backwater that is a terrorist stronghold. In reality, Gaza is a beautiful city/region with a rich history that has been decimated from constant bombings and strangled by the blockade. So much of what is being destroyed by Israel are restaurants, bookshops, schools, universities, houses and much of what contributes to life in Gaza and people’s livelihoods. Places that are attached to and filled with the memories of Palestinians in Gaza. It’s not just about making life miserable for the people who live there, but about projecting a particular image of Gaza to the world. This is also similar to how the US has portrayed places like Afghanistan to justify its invasions.
