  • This news isn’t as good as it first appears unfortunately:

    State attorney Aner Helman told the court that 700 inmates had been moved to Ofer military facility in the occupied West Bank, with another 500 set to be transferred in the weeks to come. Around 200 detainees will remain in Sde Teiman, said Helman

    So, they’re not even shutting down their Abu Ghraib in Sde Teiman, but they’re moving the bulk of it to a detention camp called Ofer. Except:

    Last week, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said the military launched a probe into the allegations of mistreatment at Sde Teiman, as well as at Anatot and Ofer

    In other words Ofer’s already a shit show of human rights abuses as well. They’re just shuffling people around their various camps.










  • The UN officials aren’t saying any of those things. Here’s a tldr of the issue

    • The platform is meant to be in Northern Gaza where the worst of the starvation is

    • Israel wants it to be moved south to an Israeli choke point

    • Israel is about to close the crossings in South Gaza so it can attack Rafah

    • If the tiny amount of aid that can come in is able to be diverted to South Gaza then Israel may face less international condemnation over this phase of the Gaza genocide.

    Please help me understand why delivering food and medicine to Gaza is bad.

    If there is a starving child and you can choose to deliver them the nutrients they need but instead you choose to give them half a peanut instead, in a really theatrical way, that’s obviously bad right?

    That’s what’s happening here.
