I’m back in Jordan after eight days in Palestine. I was in Palestine as part of a delegation to be in solidarity with and learn from those engaged in Palestinian liberation. We visited and had dialogues with Palestinians and Israelis in Bethlehem, Hebron, Jerusalem, Nablus, Ramallah and Sderot. We sat, listened to and spoke with Christians, Jews, Muslims and non-believers. We went to the Gaza border. I get paid to talk about the political, military, and economic.

That is Gaza behind me. The fence line is 600m away. The northern part of Gaza, where Israel is carrying out a genocide within a genocide, systematically starving 300,000 Palestinians to death, is about 2km further. The absurdity and the obscenity of being able to be this close to 20,000 murdered children, their bodies “prophetic voices from under the rubble” as a colleague called them, is difficult to accept.

Gaza (Quds News Network)- A few hours following an American veto against stopping the genocide, an Israeli airstrike on a residential neighborhood near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza has killed 66 people, most of them children and women, and left over 100 injured. The massacre is part of an intensifying Israeli assault on northern Gaza, marked by heavy shelling and starvation in areas like Beit Lahia and Jabalia Refugee Camp.

Occupied West Bank (Quds News Network)- A disturbing surge in violence against Palestinian children has emerged in the occupied West Bank since October 7, 2023. According to United Nations data, 171 children have been killed by Israel in this period, averaging the death of a child every two days. Over 1,000 more have been injured, many with live ammunition. The youngest victim was a 4-year-old girl killed near a checkpoint in January while sitting in a taxi with her mother, reported The Guardian.

Warmongers Defy Truth, Peace and Human ValuesAt today’s UNSC meeting on Gaza, the US once again used the veto power to reject the majority supported resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza. Ironically, since May the US Secretary Blinken propagated a “ceasefire” plan orchestrated by Israel, not so. But it was simply to buy time and space to continuously bomb the already obliterated strip of Gaza and to put a finishing answer to the freedom of Palestine.
