EDITOR—The heinous crimes against women and children in Gaza—amounting to a genocide— and the lavish military, financial, diplomatic and media support extended to Israel by the West, especially the US, speak loudly about the uselessness and hypocrisy of Bourgeois liberal feminists.

EDITORS—NIMA and Dmitry discuss breaking news around the globe, with a main focus on Ukraine, Palestine, Iran, and China (Taiwan, Far East nations, etc.). The conclusion is that the Trump administration is bound to find a tough set of customers in the areas it may seek to bully, as the rise of BRICS, and the palpable decline of the US empire is now limiting America’s options dramatically compared with just a decade ago.

EDITOR—Laith and Garland talk about the nature of heroism and self-sacrifice so well personified in the Western/Israeli vilified Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. Laith points out that this was a man who was born in a concentration camp, and soon after, in his youth, he was imprisoned by Israel in one of its many horrid dungeons where he was to spend 20 years. A “wanted man” for most of his adult life, the Israelis eventually located him and killed him while fighting with his men, on the frontlines, not hiding deep in a tunnel, an example to Palestinian resistance. Wounded horribly by a tank volley, virtually mutilated, bleeding to death, he gathered enough strength of purpose to throw an object to the drone sent in by the IDF to check if there was anyone still alive. Yahya Sinwar will live in the hearts of many people long after the names of Biden and Netanyahu have been forgotten.

MEE—On Wednesday 9th October 2024, The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP), hosted a documentary screening of Al Jazeera’s documentary film titled Gaza, followed by a panel discussion featuring eyewitnesses of the war crimes. Among the attendees of the panel discussion were Youmna El Sayed, Al Jazeera’s English correspondent in Gaza, Susan Abulhawa, Palestinian writer and human rights activist, and Dr Victoria Rose, NHS plastic surgeon supporting trauma care services in Gaza since 2009. Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit exposed Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip through the medium of photos and videos posted online by Israeli soldiers themselves during the year long conflict. The unit has built up a database of thousands of videos, photos and social media posts. Where possible it has identified the posters and those who appear. The film also tells the story of the war through the eyes of Palestinian journalists, human rights workers and ordinary residents of the Gaza Strip.
