October 9, 2024
Drop Site News reports: “As Israel Launches Massive Attack in Northern Gaza, Hospital Director Defies Israeli Evacuation Order.” The Red Crescent reports Israeli soldiers “fire at anyone who moves.”
The Israeli army has killed dozens and forced thousands to flee in northern Gaza. The UNRWA says at least seven schools sheltering displaced people are being evacuated and that Israeli attacks have forced the agency to “shut down lifesaving services.” Israel has recently killed several journalists in north Gaza including Mohammed Al-Tanani and Omar Al-Balaawi. Al Jazeera camera person Fadi Al-Wahidi was just shot in the neck.

Sidhwa is a trauma surgeon who volunteered at the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza. See his articles and interviews he has given.
He is one of 99 doctors who recently sent an open letter to President Biden and Vice President Harris: “We wish you could see the nightmares that plague so many of us since we have returned: dreams of children maimed and mutilated by our weapons, and their inconsolable mothers begging us to save them. We wish you could hear the cries and screams our consciences will not let us forget. We cannot fathom why you continue arming the country that is deliberately killing these children en masse. …
“These observations and the publicly available material detailed in the appendix lead us to believe that the death toll from this conflict is many times higher than what is reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health. We also believe this is probative evidence of widespread violations of American laws governing the use of American weapons abroad, and of International Humanitarian Law. We cannot forget scenes of unbearable cruelty directed at women and children that our government is a direct participant in. …
“The 99 signatories to this letter spent a combined 254 weeks inside Gaza’s largest hospitals and clinics. We wish to be absolutely clear: not once did any of us see any type of Palestinian militant activity in any of Gaza’s hospitals or other healthcare facilities.
“We urge you to see that Israel has systematically and deliberately devastated Gaza’s entire healthcare system, and that Israel has targeted our colleagues in Gaza for torture, disappearance, and murder.”

Noam Chomsky: "The Institute for Public Accuracy has been regularly providing the media with informed and expert commentary on the crucial events of the day, compensating for the inevitable distortion and significant omissions that trace to reliance on official sources and on a narrow spectrum of opinion, among other factors. Apart from its constructive contributions to media comprehensiveness and accuracy, for individuals who are seeking a better understanding of evolving world events IPA has been an incomparable source of critically important news that had escaped notice or received inadequate or misleading coverage, as well as acute analysis that is hard to find or completely missing in the mainstream. Speaking personally, I have found it invaluable as a source of insight and information, and for leads to pursue that I would otherwise have missed."[more]“Help Wanted” Full-Page Ad in The Hill Calls for Challenger to Biden

"Today a demand that the investment program of big corporations like GM must become subject to democratic pressure might not only save factories like Lordstown, but it would be the most effective way to expose President Trump’s faux sympathy for the Midwestern working class. It would unite the populist denunciation of the billionaire class to the concrete work-a-day fears and hopes of millions in factories and offices. In the process such a movement would demonstrate a far more effective and progressive way to revive and reshape the industries and workplaces that once sustained a more egalitarian America."[more]FTX: Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One
