According to an Al Jazeera journalist that's in southern gaza, the water still hasn't been turned on, despite what Israel said.

He also said it's pointless to say that Israel will turn the water back on without restoring the electricity, because electricity is needed to pump the water to Gaza.

So this just looks like a pr piece by Israel to look like they're doing something when they're not.

And Israel accused South Africa of being the legal arm of Hamas lol. Israel is really a joke of country right now. A genocidal joke of a country, to be sure, but still a joke.

Truly, it's as if Germany has learnt absolutely nothing from it's past.

Oh man this is horrendous.

But this time there were witnesses. How many other times did the Israelis get away with summary execution.

The Anglican community and Anglican owners of the hospital and Doctors without Borders operating in Gaza have denied Israel's claim. They reiterated that it was an Israeli attack on the hospital

Al Jazeera has just reported that water is trickling through to a few areas. No other details that I've seen yet.

Edit: it's only to one area of Khan Yunis in Gaza. And the infrastructure is destroyed there, so people are unable to get to the water as of yet. Palestinians are also reiterating that without electricity for the water pumps they're unable to get water from the tanks

US President Joe Biden will once again emphasise Israel's “right and duty” to defend itself.

Germany doing the wrong thing once again

Immensely proud of South Africa

The next stage of the genocide against Palestinians done by the Israelis. And, once again, they're broadcasting the next step of their genocidal plans to the world.

It seems that each time Israel ramps up their genocidal intents they get materially and politically rewarded by certain countries. Specifically the US, UK, Germany, Australia. And more, to their shame.

What is Hamas going to do with a catholic priest? They want to exchange Israeli hostages for all the Palestinian men, women and children that Israel is holding hostage in Israeli prisons.

I think israel bombed jabalya refugee camp four times already. And that's just one refugee camp

Yes they are. The charges in most cases? Stone throwing. I'll add a few links for you to get started.

Im sorry, but fuck blinken and his war mongering cohorts.

Why should we take anything they say as even a morsel of truth, why should we even listen to them, when they refuse to even acknowledge israel's genocide against Palestinians. They're actively funding genocide and now want to cry crocodile tears about anything relating to China

As horrible as South African apartheid was, what is happening to the Palestinans is degrees worse.

Ordinary South Africans still remember the deep damage Apartheid perpetrators inflicted on us, it's poisonous remnants are still affecting us as a country to this day as we try to heal as a people.

Now imagine South Africans seeing what Israel is perpetrating against the Palestinians, now and in the past. It's a punch to the gut, a searing pain, to see what was done to us and our parents being done to Palestinians. We're seeing a gross refined version of Apartheid that was inflicted on us being inflicted on the Palestinians. And largely the so called west/ global north is cheering for the Israeli Apartheid regime commiting genocide. It makes me sick to my core.

For these reasons there is immense pressure on our government by civil society to denounce Israel and support Palestine. It does help that the ANC has always been pro Palestinian in the first place. Also it's elections this year so the ANC definitely wants some good pr too.

I would say that these points factor in way more than any link to Russia or China

Israel believes that they can act with total impunity without consequences.

And they will be right in that assessment, as long as the US and all the other 'first world' nations keeps on sending them resources, blocking international laws from holding Israel to account, deflect attention away from the unfolding genocide Israel is commiting, attack institutions like UNRWA and countries like South Africa that are trying to help the Palestinians.

So as you can see, everytime Israel escalates it's genocide against the Palestinians you won't hear a peep from these countries. You might a hear a token "Israel should defend itself within the law" while Israel is busy trampling on the latest international laws with their latest atrocities.

Possibly. But Palestinians have also said that pipelines are damaged or destroyed by Israel's bombing in all areas if Gaza.

So if water is going through then it's sitting in huge tanks and not able to go through the pipelines to whichever houses/ buildings which are not yet rubble because of destroyed/ damaged pipes and no electricity to pump the water through any undamaged pipes.

So they probaby need to collect the water via water trucks. But there's no petrol either.

They could make the dangerous walk to the water tanks, but Israel has been bombing south Gaza as well, where everyone from northern Gaza was told to go.

Is this the one where israeli soldiers said Monday to Sunday were terrorists lol.

What i don't understand is how brazen they were. They just pointed to the calendar and said the days of the week were terrorist names without even censoring it and expected people to believe them. Like what level of hubris is this?

Because the very creation of Israel was a settler colonialist state ethnically cleansing the local population.

I would say their neighbours had plenty to be pissed off about.
