From a couple of other links: On X, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal expressed “horror and outrage at this monstrous and despicable act” and affirmed a “determination to fight, unceasingly, without counting the cost, against antisemitism.” In a press conference on Thursday, Attal said, “We’ve seen a form of unbridled antisemitism develop and break free. And I think that political leaders and political parties have a responsibility to put up barriers, to prevent a certain amount of rhetoric from becoming commonplace.” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/boys-accused-raping-12-year-old-jewish-girl-antisemitism-france-rcna157996 Yet the issues here run deeper than the statements of politicians in France and, indeed, other countries. Antisemitic violence has always exposed the particular vulnerability of Jewish women trapped in these hellish situations. Jewish women were raped and sexually humiliated during the 19th and 20th century pogroms in Russia and Eastern Europe, as they were during the Nazi era, too. More recently, the abiding memory of Oct. 7 consists of the rapes of young women by Hamas terrorists, many of them at the Nova dance music festival, where more than 350 revelers were murdered. Meanwhile, other young women were carried off into Gaza by their Hamas captors. The testimonies of those who have been released leave no doubt that sexual violence was part of their experience as hostages. https://www.fdd.org/analysis/op_eds/2024/06/21/a-rape-in-paris/ The girl will of course be in severe trauma from this, emotionally she my never recover fully but I am hoping all the best therapeutic care can be provided along of course with her parents/family love and care to help heal her. To the boys, I would like to see what their parents are like to bring up animals like this.

What are you talking about, there are two reports, from the OP. "Despite these revelations, the truth about the situation in Gaza has not been widely reported. Seth Mandel, writing in Commentary, highlighted the findings of the U.N. report and other analyses that debunk the famine claims. Similarly, Seth Frantzman in The Jerusalem Post cited the work of two Columbia University professors who analyzed the data and refuted the idea that Israel is starving Palestinians. These studies show that food is indeed flowing into Gaza. While there are undoubtedly food distribution problems in Gaza due to the ongoing military conflict initiated by Hamas on October 7, these issues are not caused by a shortage of food. The quantity of supplies being shipped into Gaza from Israel is sufficient to feed its population." UN report: In particular, the FRC highlights several issues contributing to a high level of uncertainty regarding food availability in the Governorates of Gaza and North Gaza in April 2024. FRC concerns over the availability and access analysis provided by FEWS NET include: The FEWS NET food availability analysis excludes the contribution of commercial and/or privately contracted deliveries, potentially between 1,820 with metric tons (MT) of food (low estimate) and 3,850 MT of food (high estimate) in the month of March and about 2,405 MT of food (low estimate) and 4,004 MT of food (high estimate) in the month of April 2024. While the intervals are extremely wide, indicative of a high level of uncertainty, this corresponds to the potential exclusion of about 25-76% coverage of >...........more follows in report Are you sure you read the report? Because its not just about Northern Gaza, only the famine section is. What part of my post do you not get?

More good news!! European Court Rules Russia Guilty Of Human Rights Abuses In Ukraine The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that Russia committed human rights violations in the Crimean Peninsula since its annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula in 2014. The Strasbourg-based court said in a ruling on June 25 that atrocities committed by Russia include harassment and intimidation of priests and journalists. Moscow has denied the claims in the case, which was brought to the court by Ukraine. It also concerns allegations by Kyiv that Russia has used a pattern of persecution of Ukrainians for their political stance or pro-Ukrainian activities, whether they occurred in Crimea or other parts of Ukraine or in Russia. https://www.rferl.org/a/european-rights-court-rules-russia-guilty-multiple-abuses-in-ukraine/33008390.html Direct link https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/#{"documentcollectionid2":["GRANDCHAMBER","CHAMBER"],"itemid":["001-234982"]}

Excellent news! No paywall link is here: https://archive.ph/TciYY In a press release, the court said judges had found there were "reasonable grounds to believe that the two suspects bear responsibility for missile strikes carried out by the Russian armed forces against the Ukrainian electric infrastructure from at least 10 October 2022 until at least 9 March 2023". The Russian officials were suspected of having committed war crimes and crimes against humanity for directing attacks against civilians and civilian objects in Ukraine.

The evil of the double tap strikes by Russia. No wonder back in 2022 the European Parliament adopted a resolution that they recognise Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and as a state that “uses means of terrorism”. On Wednesday, Parliament adopted a resolution on the latest developments in Russia’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine. MEPs highlight that the deliberate attacks and atrocities committed by Russian forces and their proxies against civilians in Ukraine, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and other serious violations of international and humanitarian law amount to acts of terror and constitute war crimes. In light of this, they recognise Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and as a state that “uses means of terrorism”. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20221118IPR55707/european-parliament-declares-russia-to-be-a-state-sponsor-of-terrorism POKROVSK, Donetsk region, Ukraine, June 24 (Reuters) - A Russian double-tap missile attack killed at least five people and wounded 41 others, including four children, in the eastern Ukrainian town of Pokrovsk on Monday, regional officials said. "This is one of the largest enemy attacks on civilians recently," regional governor Vadym Filashkin said on Telegram. Girls aged 9, 11, and 13, and a 12-year-old boy were injured, he added. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-missiles-kill-four-wound-34-eastern-town-pokrovsk-ukraine-says-2024-06-24/ https://archive.ph/3ugRl

Reminder that Hamas is holding a baby and toddler hostage. We will not rest until Kfir, Ariel and all of the hostages are home. https://x.com/Israel/status/1804770983670116437 -
Is the UN report linked to in the OP also bias? Are any Al Jazeera journo's holding any of the hostages still or how many terrorists are still working for them?

Violence Erupts Outside LA Synagogue Amid Clashes & Attacks on Jews
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in World News
How wrong you are. This in NY What we see at NYC Free Palestine protests: - a Hezbollah flag - an inverted triangle, a symbol historically associated with Nazi concentration camps and now used on October 7th and in Hamas propaganda videos. - a portrait of Hamas’s leader Sinwar - masked people What we don’t see: - the faces of the 5 Americans still held hostage in Gaza. This glorification of terrorism in the West should worry us all. It was never about peace. -
Violence Erupts Outside LA Synagogue Amid Clashes & Attacks on Jews

He needs to get on top of this, stamping it out before it spreads even further President Joe Biden ‘appalled’ by violence during pro-Palestinian protest at Los Angeles synagogue “I’m appalled by the scenes outside of Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles,” Biden said in post on social media site X. “Intimidating Jewish congregants is dangerous, unconscionable, antisemitic, and un-American.” In a statement, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the violence was “abhorrent” and that blocking access to a place of worship was unacceptable. Bass said she asked the Los Angeles Police Department to provide additional patrols in Pico-Robertson and outside houses of worship citywide. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-los-angeles-synagogue-protest-cc997c3116d12f159df138a0ba9be002 https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/1805278915201487142 -

Too graphic to show but in the link: The families of Hersh Goldberg-Polin (23), Or Levy (33), and Eliya Cohen (26) have authorized the release of new footage showing their loved ones' abduction. The three were kidnapped from a field shelter after fleeing the NOVA Festival in Re'im. They remain in Hamas captivity. https://x.com/bringhomenow/status/1805270423980179728 -
Russia the boy who cried wolf far too many times. Russia pins Dagestan attack on Ukraine, ignoring religious tensions Mr Gadzhiev suggested that the intelligence services of Ukraine and Nato countries may have orchestrated the attacks. He provided no evidence to back up his accusation. And when the pro-Kremlin news site Komsomolskaya Pravda reported on events in Dagestan, it accused the “collective West” of trying “to open a second front” against Russia. The writer continued: “When it comes to unrest in this region traditionally it’s the ears of British intelligence that stick out.” https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj555p05yl4o
