Four medical doctors from the US who had recently returned from Gaza provided sobering accounts Thursday of the dire conditions there and reported a lack of basic survival needs as well as medical equipment. "We have normalized the killing of health care workers. That's not just going to be a problem in Gaza, it's going to be a problem worldwide," said Dr. Thaer Ahmad, an emergency room physician from Chicago. Dr. Ahmad, who was at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza since January of 2024, said that "wearing a white coat" did not prevent him from becoming a target.

He stressed the need for medical evacuations, saying: "It's because not just the health care system was targeted, but the doctors, the nurses, the paramedics, the first responders -- they were targeted. They were killed."Dr. Ahmad recalled "forcibly disappeared" Gazan doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, citing him as an example of Israel's attacks on health care workers.

Switzerland Deports Ali Abunimah Over Pro-Palestine Advocacy
by Quds News Network

Palestinian-American journalist Ali Abunimah has confirmed that Swiss authorities released and deported him after detaining him for three days over his advocacy for Palestinian rights. Abunimah, the executive director of the Electronic Intifada publication, suggested in a social media post on Monday that Switzerland detained him because of his advocacy for Palestinian rights. “My ‘crime’? Being a journalist who speaks up for Palestine and against Israel’s genocide and settler-colonial savagery and those who aid and abet it,” he wrote. On Saturday, he was arrested in Zurich before he was set to deliver a speech in the city, sparking outrage from Palestinian rights advocates.

Trump’s statement on deporting Gaza residents serves as explicit support for Israel’s crime of genocide, colonial policies
by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor

United States President Donald Trump announced his plan to expel the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip from their homes there, and has called on neighbouring nations to accept the Palestinians into their countries. These remarks, which were made after Israel egregiously violated international law by committing genocide against the Palestinian people in the Strip for over 15 months—including by destroying all essential necessities for life in the enclave—are deeply concerning.

“I wake up to find my clothes, bedding, and blankets soaked in blood. I have to clean it all in front of my children. Once, I even had to dig a small hole inside the tent to bury blood clots.” These harrowing words come from a Palestinian woman displaced by the Israeli war that erupted on October 7, 2023.

Her story is just one of countless accounts reflecting the dire realities faced by displaced Palestinian women. Hundreds of thousands are living in tents with no access to basic necessities, hygiene, or privacy. For many, menstruation has become a profound source of anguish. In addition to relying on rudimentary public or makeshift sandy toilets, these women face an uphill battle to access sanitary pads, which have become prohibitively expensive.

Last night, Israeli forces fatally shot two-year-old Laila Mohammad Ayman Khatib in a Palestinian village south of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.

Laila was having dinner with her family when, out of nowhere, Israeli snipers positioned across the street fired four bullets through their living room window. One bullet struck Laila in the back of the head. Her grandfather rushed her to the hospital, but despite doctors' best efforts, Laila died of her injuries

Over 100,000 people gathered in central London on Saturday to demonstrate their continued support for the Palestinian people and to voice their opposition to the ongoing genocide being perpetrated by the Israeli apartheid state. The demonstration was the 23rd national protest to have taken place in London since October 2023. Gathering outside the UK parliament on the eve of a ceasefire in Gaza, speakers called for the cessation of hostilities to be permanent. However, there were also calls for an end to the murderous settler-colonization of Palestine that has led to decades of military occupation, ethnic cleansing and apartheid against the Palestinian people.

The latest demonstration went ahead despite the London Metropolitan Police force doing its utmost to sabotage the event. Protestors were initially due to assemble outside the offices of the British state broadcaster, the BBC, to voice their opposition to the BBC’s overt and unvarnished pro-Israel bias. However, prior to the event, the police said that this would not be allowed.

sraeli forces shot and killed a displaced Palestinian and injured others on Saturday in Gaza. The incident occurred on Salah al-Din and Al-Rashid Streets, marking a breach of the ceasefire that began last Sunday. Medical sources reported that one person was killed, and two others were injured. T

The displaced Palestinians had gathered in vehicles or on foot, waiting to cross to Gaza City and the northern regions. The movement was expected to resume after Hamas handed over four Israeli soldiers as part of the ceasefire agreement. Witnesses also reported Israeli military vehicles stationed near the Nitzarim axis and surrounding areas. According to the agreement, the Israeli army is required to withdraw completely from west of the Nitzarim axis, including the coastal Al-Rashid Street, to Salah al-Din Street in the east.

Under the deal, Israeli forces must dismantle military positions in the Nitzarim area. Once completed, Palestinians would regain freedom of movement between Gaza’s north and south. Hamas sources confirmed this and said displaced Palestinians would be allowed to return to their homes unarmed. Humanitarian aid would also move freely via Al-Rashid Street.

I dream of a quiet, drone-free Gaza

A ceasefire has been declared, but the torment from the skies has not stopped.Since the ceasefire has gone into force, the skies in Gaza have changed. There is an unusual stillness. We do not hear Israeli fighter jets or helicopters any more. The quadcopters are also gone, but the drones – the “zanana” – remain.

The buzzing of Israeli drones is unmistakable. It has been a continuous companion for us in Gaza for many years as Israel developed its drone technology using us as test subjects.

Israeli troops kill two more Palestinians in the occupied West Bank as plans announced to expand their military assault on the Jenin refugee camp that has already killed at least 12 people and wounded dozens since Tuesday across the governorate of Jenin.
Israel’s military and intelligence service said a “series of operations” will be carried out in Jenin as Israel fights a “multi-front war” that has now shifted to the occupied West Bank.

Israel has intensified its operations in the West Bank, unleashing settlers to carry out violent attacks and imposing strict closures at checkpoints between cities. Thousands of Palestinians have been left stranded outside their towns, facing brutal assaults, all unfolding amid global and regional silence.

In a series of settler , several Palestinians were injured, and properties were torched in the villages of Jinsafut and Al-Funduq, east of Qalqilya. Under the protection of Israeli forces, settlers set fire to homes, a nursery, a carpentry workshop, vehicles, and a bulldozer along the main Qalqilya-Nablus road. Israeli soldiers entered the village during the settlers’ attack. Local sources reported that a resident sustained a head injury while trying to fend off settlers who started a fire near his home. The Palestinian Red Crescent treated 21 injuries in Al-Funduq, 12 from physical assaults and 9 from tear gas inhalation.

On January 15, 2025, Qatar announced a ceasefire agreement between the Israeli regime and Hamas. The long-awaited deal, mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, promised an end to 15 months of genocidal assault on Gaza, during which Israeli forces killed at least 64,260 Palestinians and reduced much of the strip to rubble.

While the implementation of the ceasefire offers critical relief for Palestinians in Gaza who have been enduring and resisting genocide, skepticism remains over the feasibility of its full implementation. In this roundtable, Al Shabaka analysts Shatha Abdulsamad, Basil Farraj, Talal Abu Rokbeh, and Diana Buttu weigh in on the different aspects of the ceasefire deal and what they mean in the broader context of Israeli settler colonial occupation of Palestine.

News of tragic casualties in Gaza became disturbingly routine during the genocide. Yet these losses, no matter how heart-wrenching, were reduced to a mere statistic – part of the more than 47,000 Palestinians killed by Israel since 7 October 2023. This jarring realization raises an urgent question: How have we, as fellow humans, allowed such massive loss of life to occur? Didn’t we say “never again?”

At the core of this tragedy lies a simple but devastating concept: dehumanization. It’s the process by which individuals or groups are stripped of their human qualities, denied their emotions and dispossessed of their very humanity. This insidious process enables atrocities like the genocidal assault on Gaza and the persistent oppression of Palestinians.

Thus, understanding the ongoing violence requires a deep examination of the mechanics of dehumanization. This is crucial, not only for ending atrocities but also to prevent any in the future. Dehumanization is a complex psychological process that includes cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects. Cognitively, dehumanization requires individuals to strip others of their “human” qualities, often manifesting as viewing them as less intelligent, cultured or morally developed.

For instance, Israeli politicians have framed Palestinian society as one that “sanctifies death” or have referred to Palestinians as “children of darkness”, terrorists, rapists and “Khamas”.

Learning from history necessitates challenging the powerful.

When Israeli Warplanes Rain Death on Gaza, the Copilot is Uncle Sam

With scant political opposition, the new Republican-controlled Congress and Trump White House will undoubtedly only double down on material support for Israel’s war crimes. And they are already threatening people who demonstrate publicly in support of an arms embargo with investigation, prosecution, deportation, or other kinds of attacks. Citing those and other
threats, Ben Samuels of Haaretz anticipates that Trump’s promise “to crack down on pro-Palestinian sentiment in America will be a defining factor of his administration’s early days” and that “the fight against the pro-Palestinian movement might be one of the only things that has a clear path across the government” — that is, the suppression could be bipartisan. For the people of Gaza and their American supporters, 2025 could turn out to be even more horrifying than the ghastly year just passed.
