Israel's military chief has pushed back against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plans to seize areas of Gaza it doesn't already control, three Israeli officials said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/07/world/politics/israel-military-gaza-expansion-netanyahu/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu
Israel may expand its presence in Gaza, despite concern by military chiefs and the public that such a move endangers the remaining hostages held by Hamas. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/06/world/politics/israel-full-gaza-takeover/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu

The progressive activist lefty #synagogue in #Victoria#BC#Canada defaced with this:
“#Jews are evil! Because #genocide is evil! Stop genocide stop the Jews! Jews are murdering thousands of gentile children In the future #Palestinians will get their revenge against you child-killing #Jew-monsters!”
I've heard that little #antifascist joke about how many #nazis do you have at dinner for decades, and I don't want to hear it anymore.

Canada said Monday it delivered humanitarian assistance through airdrops to Gaza, with Ottawa again accusing Israel of violating international law. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/05/world/politics/canada-airdrops-aid-gaza-israel-law/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #canada #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #hunger #famine
At least 40 Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire and airstrikes on Gaza, including 10 seeking aid while another five died of starvation in what humanitarian agencies say may be an unfolding famine. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/05/world/gazans-aid-hunger-burial-shrouds/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #hunger #starvation #famine
The trickle of food aid Israel is allowing to enter the Gaza Strip is seized by Palestinians risking their lives under fire, looted by gangs or diverted in chaotic circumstances rather than reaching those most in need. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/04/world/gangs-gaza-aid-most-needy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu #us #un #hunger #famine
Hamas said it was prepared to coordinate with the Red Cross to deliver aid to hostages it holds in the Gaza Strip if Israel permanently opens humanitarian corridors and halts airstrikes during the distribution of aid. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/04/world/hamas-hostages-israel-airstrikes/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #hamas #benjaminnetanyahu

For decades, #Israel has been ‘rewarded for its illegal #occupation, #criminal policies, & has been endlessly appeased. That it took a #genocide, & two years after its onset, for western #governments to reconsider this state of affairs is the true scandal.’

There are but a few people from #Gaza on the #Fediverse that somehow manage (I don't know how) to report what they see and experience, every few days.
Out of them, I'm currently following these accounts whose posts I have come to trust in:
- Aseel Sehwel, at @Aseelsehwel
- Nouran Ghaboun, at @NouranKhaledGh and on Medium
Please follow them, and educate yourself via their first-hand accounts on what people are enduring in Gaza.
If you take offense at them and others asking for donations, to feed and save their own and other families, consider what you'd do yourself if you had to pay $60 / 50€ for a single kilogram of flour.
Or, alternatively, again and again, had to fear for the life of a family member that's away, walking miles and miles to queue up at an "aid distribution" site where soldiers have killed more than a thousand desperate people already, merely for trying to get hold of something to eat.
Yes, there are many fraudulent people trying to exploit your sympathy, on the back of the #Palestinians in Gaza. No, its not impossible to find at least one trustworthy human being in need, and to help them survive.
[Update 2: Upon further interaction, the removed account proved to be fraudulent, it'll stay removed]
[Update: temporarily removed one of the accounts mentioned, since it needs further verification]

This was never the purpose, and it's obscene to keep repeating the lie this far into a premeditated atrocity.

Despite Britain, France and Canada's plans to recognize Palestine as a state, fellow G7 member Japan is reluctant to follow suit, mainly out of consideration for the United States, a key backer of Israel. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/02/japan/politics/japan-reluctant-palestinian-statehood/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #israel #palestinians #us #uk #middleeast

At least 91 #Palestinians were killed & more than 600 wounded while attempting to get #aid in the past 24 hours, the #Gaza Health Ministry said on Thursday. This includes 54 people killed while awaiting #food in northern Gaza near the Zikim crossing on Wednesday, the ministry said. The toll is expected to rise further as many of those killed or wounded were brought to isolated, undersupplied hospitals in northern Gaza & have not yet been counted.
