for 27 months they called us liars, they called us #Hamas supporters, they called us antisemites, they called us terrorists and other things because we shared the horrifying numbers of deaths in #Gaza.
Quietly, while the world is busy with #Epstein, #Greenland, War on #Iran and other distractions, they accepted the reports of the casualties of the Israeli #genocide in Gaza.
But, the western media don't seem to care much about it.

Palestinian Resistance Ambushes Collaborators, Denounce “Peace” Council
The Palestinian Information Center, in other news, has documented 27 acts of resistance across the occupied West Bank within a 48-hour period, ranging from confrontations with Zionist occupation forces to efforts repelling settler attacks.
This comes as Zionist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has approved the extension of personal firearm permits to settlers across 18 additional illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, further encouraging violence against Palestinians and advancing plots for settler militarization.
Ben-Gvir’s expansion of gun access, including to unauthorized settlers, began in late 2023 with the start of the genocide in Gaza. Although the policy was condemned following reports of growing civilian casualties, including among settlers, it was never stopped.
Since October 2023, armed settler attacks on Palestinian communities have surged, often accompanied by occupation forces. These coordinated assaults have destroyed property, including the burning of homes and vehicles, and caused dozens of injuries.
According to the report, the incidents included clashes in 15 areas, 8 confrontations with settlers, damage to 3 settler vehicles, and the use of stones, Molotov cocktails, and firecrackers, resulting in injuries to two settlers.
In al-Quds, confrontations erupted in the Qalandia refugee camp, where residents hurled stones and firecrackers at occupation forces.
In the Ramallah governorate, clashes were reported in Turmus Ayya and Al-Mughayyir, with local residents responding to settler incursions near the illegal “Ofra” settlement. Several settler vehicles were damaged in the confrontations.
The Nablus area saw widespread resistance in Qusra, Yatma, Burqa, and Jalud, where settlers attempted to storm Palestinian villages. Residents responded with stones and firecrackers, damaging vehicles used in the attacks.
In Salfit, settlers attacked the town of Kafr al-Dik, resulting in injuries to two settlers, while in Haris, locals responded to similar settler aggression.
In Beit Lahm, youth clashed with the occupiers in Husan. In Jenin, confrontations broke out near the illegal “Homesh” settlement and in surrounding neighborhoods.
In Ariha, resistance was documented in the Al-Auja area, targeting settler vehicles.
In al-Khalil, residents of Beit Ummar confronted occupation forces and settlers in renewed clashes.
These incidents underscore the ongoing atmosphere of confrontation and resistance across the occupied territories in response to settler violence and Zionist military operations.
In international news Hamas has condemned the inclusion of Benjamin Netanyahu in the so-called “Peace Council” for Gaza, calling it a dangerous sign that undermines justice and accountability.
In an official statement issued Thursday, Hamas said, “We strongly condemn the inclusion of war criminal Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, in the Peace Council for Gaza.”
The movement stated that Netanyahu’s participation contradicts the very principles such a council should represent. It warned that “the war criminal Netanyahu continues to obstruct a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and carries out the most heinous violations by targeting unarmed civilians.”
Hamas stressed that “the first step toward stability lies in ending the occupation’s violations and holding all those responsible for genocide and starvation accountable.”
The statement came after US President Donald Trump and several international leaders signed a decree on Thursday establishing the “Peace Council” concerning the Gaza Strip. The signing took place during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
