On Monday in Gaza, as if ordered (which they probably were) the IDF suddenly stopped the mass culling of Palestinians trying to get food from food distribution points. There were scatted reports of a few deaths, but not the scores reported daily for many weeks. I think this was probably due to the unprecedented attention […]
Sunday in Gaza saw unrelenting killing. NPR‘s story of 100 dead, based an AP‘s report https://www.npr.org/2025/07/20/nx-s1-5474123/100-killed-seeking-aid-gaza-palestinian stresses what appears to be an IDF attack on a UN convoy: “…near the Israeli border area of Zikim,…at least 81 Palestinians were killed as they tried to grab sacks of flour from U.N. World Food Programme trucks entering from Israel… the […]
An exceptionally bloody Saturday in Gaza (95 dead – Haaretz) began early. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)’s Distribution Centers open at 6AM (11PM EDT) and Palestinians (who often have to walk long distances) muster beforehand Today the IDF opened fire at 2 Centers, jolting the US MSM into actually reporting! The NBC version of AP‘s report https://www.nbcnews.com/world/gaza/palestinians-shot-dead-food-aid-rcna219762 says “at least” 32 […]
News of what actually happened in Gaza on Friday is very difficult to find. Almost the only US MSM report mentioning casualties is from PBS which mixed the news in a story about the Gaza Church strike aftermath https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/christian-patriarchs-make-rare-visit-to-gaza-after-deadly-israeli-strike-on-church “Israeli strikes killed at least 18 Palestinians overnight and into Friday, including a strike on a home in the […]
On Thursday in Gaza the IDF killed 3 in an attack on a Catholic church and wounded the priest,& at least 8 others. Like yesterday’s deadly stampede this managed to disrupt US MSM indifference. The church had been sheltering many people. https://www.nbcnews.com/world/middle-east/israel-strike-catholic-church-gaza-pope-francis-gabriele-romanelli-rcna219268 In a rare exception, the San Francisco Chronicle https://www.sfgate.com/news/world/article/parish-priest-and-several-injured-as-airstrikes-20773517.php carried more of AP‘s report “Separately, another person […]
On Wednesday in Gaza, the inevitable occurred: a stampede by Palestinians trying to get food at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution point killed some 20 people. Both sides blame the other but the flat GHF assertion blaming Hamas contrasts badly with the circumstantial Palestinian accounts. Ultimately, of course responsibility lies with those insisting on […]
Once again, actual news from Gaza on Saturday is very hard to find. SFGate has posted AP‘s story: Israeli airstrikes killed at least 28 Palestinians including four children in the Gaza Strip, while 24 others were fatally shot on their way to an aid distribution site, Palestinian hospital officials and witnesses said Saturday. “The 24 shot dead were […]
