Drop Site News just published “Our Job Is to Flatten Gaza. No One Will Stop Us” — the inside story of one Israeli battalion’s “yearlong mission of destruction.”
Jeremy Scahill of Drop Site News warns: “The Israeli military has just publicly accused six Al Jazeera journalists of being ‘terrorists’ in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. This is an assassination threat and an attempt to preemptively justify their murder.” Details from Times of Israel.
Hossam Shabat, one the reporters wrote Tuesday: “I’m a reporter on the ground in North Gaza, and I’m here to tell you that no aid has entered the besieged area for the past 21 days. The Israeli and American governments are spreading inaccurate information.”
Another of the reporters, Anas Al-Sharif, yesterday posted a video of children killed, one with their head literally blown off. He just posted a video of civil defence crews working five hours to rescue a child.

He reports in “Netanyahu Declines Blinken Request To Publicly Reject Gaza Ethnic Cleansing Plan” that: “The completion of the general’s plan could pave the way for Jewish settlements in Gaza, an idea favored by many Israeli ministers and members of the Knesset. At a ‘resettle Gaza’ conference held on Monday, May Golan, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party and the minister for social equality, called for a new ‘Nakba’ in Gaza.” AntiWar.com also reports: “Israeli Military Kills 115 Palestinians in Gaza Over 48-Hour Period.”
