Israel-Palestine War: Hamas Breaks Out of Gaza, Israel Responds With Genocide

I've moved a number of recent posts about the Israel-Iran conflict to the thread discussing it:

 

Harvard-linked study finds Israel ‘disappeared’ nearly 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children: Report​

The study by a Ben Gurion University professor uses data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to highlight a severe decline in Gaza’s population since October 2023

A study published via the Harvard Dataverse reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023.

Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children.


The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population.

The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel’s genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.

While some are displaced or missing, a significant number are believed to have been killed by Israeli forces, according to the report.

The professor notes that the official death toll of 61,000 is clearly an underestimate, as victims who remain trapped under rubble are not included.

Garb also condemned in the report the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – a controversial US-Israeli aid distribution mechanism launched last month.

“These aid compounds seem to reflect a logic of control, not assistance, and it would be a misnomer to call them 'humanitarian aid distribution hubs'. They do not adhere to humanitarian principles, and much of their design and operation is guided by other objectives, which undermine their declared purpose,” he said.

The UN has accused GHF of being designed to further the forced displacement. Since it began operations, GHF has led to the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian aid seekers by Israeli forces.

The Harvard-linked report is not the first indication that the death toll in Gaza could, in fact, be significantly higher than reported.

The Lancet medical journal released a study in January this year revealing that the death toll from Israel’s genocide in Gaza was most likely undercounted by 41 percent in the first nine months of the war.

The January study highlighted that around 59.1 percent of those killed were women, children, and elderly.

The year before, in July 2024, The Lancet said Israel's assault on Gaza could lead to between 149,000 and 598,000.




If we add 377,000 “disappeared” Palestinians (so not officially listed as dead) and official death toll of 61,000, we come to staggering 438 000 people! Minimum!

Beasts!

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has accused the EU of double standards, noting that the bloc imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine conflict but has failed to take similar action against Israel for its war in Gaza.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Sanchez said he will propose suspending the EU’s trade agreement with Israel, in which Article 2 designates human rights as an “essential element” of the pact.

 
Counter-terrorism police have arrested four people in connection to the protest by Palestine Action at RAF Brize Norton, in which two activists on scooters spray painted two British military planes with red paint and evaded security and police.

Three have been arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. Another was arrested of assisting an offender.

The embarrassment caused to the government by the recent Palestine Action incursion at Brize Norton, has led rapidly to the announced proscription of Palestine Action. Keir Starmer explicitly referred to the spray-painting of the planes as “vandalism”, not ‘terrorism’ and many Parliamentarians including former Justice Secretary Lord Falconer, have stated that the protest may be criminal damage, but not terrorism.

As reported by the Gaza Anti-Drug Committee people from Gaza are claiming to have found drugs in the flour sacks apparently Israel is reportedly smuggling Oxycodone into the Gaza Strip by hiding it in bags of flour distributed as humanitarian aid to the starving population. There are numerous media reports that the drug is not only hidden inside flour bags, but the flour itself appears to be mixed with it.

Doctors warn flour sacks entering Gaza laced with Oxycodo

Reports have said that Oxycodone – the controversial drug behind the opioid epidemic in the US – is not only being smuggled in flour bags, but also crushed into powder and mixed into the flour itself.

Gaza-based pharmacist Omar Hamad has cited the Anti-Drug Committee in the strip as saying that Israel has been smuggling the drug in “through bags of flour provided as aid.”

The most despicable form of genocide has recently come to light with the spread of a drug called Oxycodone among the population. Israel has reportedly been smuggling it in through bags of flour provided as aid.
As a pharmacist, let me explain what this drug is: it belongs to the…

Dr Khalil Abu Nada wrote in the report mentioned by Hamad that “this may be one of the reasons behind the recent theft of flour trucks in southern Gaza (as of yesterday),” while going on to describe the addictive nature of Oxycodone and its risks and side effects, which include severe respiratory depression.

Gaza journalist Abdullah Attar also reported that the opioid drug is being found inside flour bags.

Oxycodone and other heavy-duty opioid prescription medications like it were behind the deaths of hundreds of thousands of US citizens between 1999 and 2020.

The reports come as Palestinians continue to suffer due to severe, Israeli-imposed restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza – which resulted in the spread of famine across the strip.

A new, US-Israeli aid distribution mechanism called the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – which has been condemned by the UN and various international rights groups – is resulting in near-daily deaths.
The plan has accelerated the Israeli army’s goal of displacing Gaza’s population southward and securing control over the strip. Palestinians show up at distribution sites overseen by US contractors and Israeli troops, and are shot dead and targeted with artillery while waiting for aid.
 
Didn't know that bono (will not put an uppercase on his nickname anymore) has a son who sing. I suppose the majority here knows the bad destiny that bono had, embrassing the evil agenda of this world, becoming one of their minions.
Thus, this made me quite smile to see his son not following him, or at least, he did something good during a recent concert :

 
At least 66 children have died from starvation since Israel’s siege of Gaza began, UN officials describe Gaza as the 'hungriest place on earth', 112 children are being hospitalized every day due to severe malnutrition
According to the UN, the US-sponsored Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) has caused about 600 deaths and nearly 4,000 injuries among Palestinians attempting to receive food while operating under Israeli military supervision. UN officials have condemned it as “a death trap.”

According to Palestine Hoy: The number of Palestinians killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip has risen to 57,130, with 135,173 wounded. (July 03, 2025)

Images document an Israeli drone attack on Palestinian civilians in Khan Younis.

Amnesty International: "Israel is using the hunger of civilians as a weapon of war in the Gaza Strip, turning requests for aid into a deadly trap for starving Palestinians."

Israeli journalist Amnon Levy asks on his X account whether Israelis can sleep peacefully after the publication of estimates indicating that the number of victims in Gaza has reached 100,000 since the start of the war.

Yanon Magal, lead broadcaster for Channel 14 and Radio 103 FM, responds simply: "Yes!"

Israel assassinates Dr. Marwan Sultan, director of the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza Strip, along with his wife and five children.
He holds the highest medical degree in Gaza, a symbol of medical care and humanitarian work...

I thought I'd share an interview with UK activist Tony Greenstein, on the nature of the Zionist project and its effect on the wider Jewish society around the world. He's a real firebrand, he gets all sorts of trouble in the UK and he never backs down, 'cos he knows he's right. It's a good vid to introduce newbies to the subject, and he's a good soul, an engaging speaker.

 
This is an old video (about 8 months old), but it shows the absolute depravity of the IDF. I've never seen this level of evil before. Praying for justice doesn't seem enough anymore. No-one can say that they didn't know about this, there's no excuses this time. And the vast majority of Israelis support this? Total, rank psychopathy reigns in the "unholy land".
