  1. Yes, you did read that, written by the perpetrators of said state Israel.
  2. Renowned scholar and activist Norman Finkelstein discusses Israel’s war on Gaza with Marc Lamont Hill. As Israel’s war on Gaza continues, killing more than 33,000 people, numerous scholars and politicians have voiced concern and condemned Israel’s policies and actions. Among those critics is Norman Finkelstein, a staunch advocate for Palestinian freedom and one of the foremost historians on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, himself a son of Holocaust survivors. This week on UpFront, Norman Finkelstein shares his insights on Israel’s war on Gaza and responds to some of the controversies surrounding him in an interview with Marc Lamont Hill.

  4. Israel-Hamas war: Gaza's morgue network has effectively collapsed - how are they recording their dead? The collapse of healthcare infrastructure has left thousands of dead unidentified - with authorities relying on first responders, journalists and bereaved families for information. https://news.sky.com/story/israel-hamas-war-health-system-collapse-in-gaza-leaves-authorities-struggling-to-count-the-dead-13107279
  5. Secretary-General António Guterres (at podium) briefs reporters on the situation in Gaza on the six months mark since 7 October 2023. "In its speed, scale and inhumane ferocity, the war in Gaza is the deadliest of conflicts – for civilians, for aid workers, for journalists, for health workers, and for our own colleagues. Some 196 humanitarian aid workers – including more than 175 members of our own UN staff – have been killed. The vast majority were serving UNRWA [The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East], the backbone of all relief efforts in Gaza," said the Secretary-General, and continued: "I repeat my urgent appeals for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, the protection of civilians, and the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid. […] Six months on, we are at the brink: of mass starvation; of regional conflagration; of a total loss of faith in global standards and norms." https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1b/k1b6qeybps?fbclid=IwAR0zR_Upy231Fib0SJDapfmOBmvyr42hLQdZyCcXwYwDm9vZhuhB9ra0PDk_aem_AUN1igoxCeYizYyNGr-SSMmwlEO4fAQu15sOtgpQHVCYvMdhOoI0nS-UFy5E0tqAtQPHId5RgsD2Ehu6fQcWl5YO

  7. Your so funny, have you read who wrote the piece you originally linked to from Sky News? Breaking 'They are a target in his eyes': IDF releases findings of what went wrong in strike that killed aid workers The IDF has released findings of a strike that killed seven aid workers - identifying that a series of mistakes and incorrect assumptions resulted in their deaths.

Alistair has covered elections in Pakistan and Turkey, the Eurozone crisis across the continent and humanitarian disasters in South Sudan and the Philippines. https://news.sky.com/author/alistair-bunkall-499
  9. Excuse me, deflective, how so, he is their Middle East Correspondent as stated.
  10. How very dare you, the IDF murdering innocent civilians, who would ever think such a thing?
  11. No, I took it that as you posted the link that it was something you would have checked but overlooked, so thought it was relevant to the conversation and something not to be missed.
  12. Best you ask Sky News, he is their Middle East Correspondent as stated.
  13. Israeli forces kill Palestinian collecting aid Exclusive video obtained by Al Jazeera shows Israeli forces opening fire and killing a Palestinian man as he tried to collect aid in north Gaza. https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/4/5/israeli-forces-kill-palestinian-collecting-aid
  14. Suggest you read all that is posted on a link you use to justify the initial findings of the IDF, then you will see the piece I linked too.
  15. FINDINGS ARE A DAMNING SLUR ON THE ISRAELI MILITARY Alistair Bunkall Middle East correspondent @AliBunkallSKY This wasn’t an accident. It was no mistaken misfire. The IDF cell tracking the vehicles fired lethal precision-guided missiles into each car, one after the other. Through blurred nighttime surveillance footage, they saw what they thought was a man carrying a gun and assumed he was a Hamas fighter. They then assumed everyone else travelling in the vehicles were also Hamas. There was no evidence for this. They kept firing because they saw passengers still alive. The basic failure to pass details of the aid convoy down the chain of command is a damning slur on a military that thinks of itself as being one of the best in the world. The decision to launch air strikes with the intent of killing people, based on unsound evidence, raises deeply troubling questions of ethics in combat. It's a sad irony that one of the only reasons World Central Kitchen were operating at night was because of their previously good working relationship with the Israeli military. Had six of the seven killed not been foreign aid workers, whose deaths caused an international outcry, then this investigation would not have happened and the Israeli military would not have been forced to explain its actions. How many Palestinian civilians therefore have been killed in similar, uninvestigated cases of mistaken identity, we will probably never know. https://news.sky.com/story/grave-mistake-idf-releases-findings-of-what-went-wrong-in-strike-that-killed-aid-workers-13108160
  16. F.Y.I. On 29 April 2018, Amber Rudd resigned as Home Secretary after misleading the Home Affairs Select Committee on deportation targets. Javid resigned as Chancellor during the February 2020 cabinet reshuffle after refusing a demand from Johnson and his chief adviser Dominic Cummings that he dismiss his advisers, and was succeeded by Rishi Sunak. Pritti Patel was found to have breached the Ministerial Code in relation to incidents of bullying. Following the resignation of Johnson and subsequent election of Liz Truss as Prime Minister, Patel resigned as Home Secretary on 6 September 2022. Suella Braverman was sacked by the prime minister because she sent an official document from her personal email to a fellow MP, in a serious breach of ministerial rules. In October 2022, amid a government crisis, Truss appointed Shapps as Home Secretary, replacing Suella Braverman. His six-day tenure made Shapps the shortest-serving Home Secretary in British political history. Suella Braverman, 2nd term. In Sunak's cabinet reshuffle on 13 November 2023, James Cleverly was appointed Home Secretary, succeeding Suella Braverman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Secretary#List_of_home_secretaries
  17. A Tory former Foreign Office minister is being investigated by his party after giving an interview in which he called for two Conservative peers and a minister to face repercussions for their support of Israel. Speaking to LBC this morning, he said the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) group had been "doing the bidding of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, bypassing all proper processes of government to exercise undue influence at the top of government". Sky News understands the party has told Sir Alan he is being investigated - although this could take weeks. In the interview, he singled out Lord Stuart Polak, the honorary president of the CFI, and Lord Eric Pickles, as among those who should face punishment for their support of Israel. https://news.sky.com/story/tory-ex-foreign-office-minister-sir-alan-duncan-investigated-by-party-after-israel-comments-13107785
  18. Suella Braverman has been sacked as home secretary, after she defied No 10 over an article accusing the Metropolitan Police of bias in the policing of protests. Mrs Braverman was accused of stoking tension ahead of protests in London. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-67401753
  19. Netanyahu’s office says it will allow “temporary” aid deliveries via its border with the northern Gaza Strip “to ensure the continuation of the fighting and to achieve the goals of the war”. US President Joe Biden tells Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to “empower his negotiators to conclude a deal without delay”. Hamas official Osama Hamadan earlier told a news briefing negotiations were “stuck in a vicious circle” with Israel refusing requests to withdraw troops, allow aid, and for Palestinians to return to the northern Gaza Strip. At least 101 Palestinians have been returned to the Gaza Strip from Israeli prisons, with some having suffered fractures and other injuries, according to a medical source. At least 33,037 Palestinians have been killed and 75,668 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attack stands at 1,139, with dozens still held captive. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2024/4/5/israels-war-on-gaza-live-biden-presses-israel-for-immediate-ceasefire
