Israel resumes Gaza aid drops days after criticism from agencies over hunger crisis

Israel resumed airdrop aid to Gaza on Saturday night, the Israeli military said, a few days after more than 100 agencies warned that mass starvation was spreading across the enclave.

The military also said in a separate statement that designated humanitarian corridors would be established to enable the safe movement of United Nations convoys delivering aid to the Gaza population and that humanitarian pauses would be implemented in densely populated areas.

Answering this thread's title.

Wondering how the move to recognize Palestine as a state by certain countries will receive pushback from these powerful interests.

Albanese lists dozens of major western companies that are deeply invested in Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people.

This is not a new development, as she notes. These firms have exploited business opportunities associated with Israel’s violent occupation of the Palestinian people’s lands for years, and in some cases decades.

The switch from Israel’s occupation of Gaza to its current genocide hasn’t threatened profits; it has enhanced them. Or as Albanese puts it: “The profits have increased as the economy of the occupation transformed into an economy of genocide.”

The special rapporteur has been a growing thorn in the side of Israel and its western sponsors over the past 21 months of slaughter in Gaza.

That explains why Marco Rubio, Trump’s secretary of state, announced soon after her report was issued that he was imposing sanctions on Albanese for her efforts to shed light on the crimes of Israeli and US officials.

Revealingly, he called her statements – rooted in international law – “economic warfare against the United States and Israel”. Albanese and the UN system of universal human rights that stands behind her, it seems, represent a threat to western profiteering.

Israel’s genocide is big business – and the face of the future

'Our Flour Is Soaked in Blood': Haaretz Reporter Sheren Falah Saab on Gaza, Fear and Dehumanization

Evernote Link

Q&A session with Sheren Falah Saab, Ha'aretz's Arab Affairs Correspondent. Provides some very powerful and moving insights about the Gazans' complex relationship with Hamas, about how reporting on the horror in Gaza affects her personally, and about how most Israeli media simply ignores what's happening there.

Israel is, in many ways, at a point of no return: politically, socially and morally. The mechanisms that once made it unique in the Middle East are no longer in place. The concept of a free press or freedom of expression has lost all meaning since October 7. Mainstream Israeli media has become mobilized for the war effort, with barely a drop of courage left to criticize the war – including decisions affecting civilians in Gaza, such as blocking humanitarian aid, forced displacement, and the collapse of food distribution through the GHF.

There's something deeply depressing, heartbreaking even, about the fact that the voices of Gazans "don't count." Israelis, sadly, tend to prefer media that centers soldiers' testimonies or security analysts discussing the situation, rather than listening to a woman in Gaza describe her daily life. How she lives without a kitchen, bathroom, a room with four walls.

As someone reporting on Gaza, I'm exposed daily to horror. My friends beg me for help, and some may not survive another day. It devastates me that all this suffering is silenced and still finds no expression on Israeli television. I ask myself: what are Israeli journalists so afraid of, when it comes to reporting what's happening in Gaza? What holds them back from saying plainly that yes – there is a humanitarian crisis?

Oh no, not tariffs

Doesn’t matter what we do or don't do, tariffs are applied.
