Israel resumes genocidal attacks on Gaza, killing 400
Israel launched intensive attacks on Gaza early Tuesday, killing at least 400 Palestinians and injuring more than 560, the health ministry in the territory said later in the day. | The ministry said that more victims are still under the rubble. Entire families were massacred in the strikes, according to the government media office in Gaza. Defense for Children International-Palestine said that at least 174 children were among the dead. [...] Hamas remains the de facto ruling authority in Gaza despite Israel’s stated aim of destroying it during the offensive beginning in October 2023. Hamas officials have accused Israel of repeatedly violating the fragile ceasefire that came into effect on 19 January.

✅ Genocidal Western ‘Democracy’ (Craig Murray): As 320 Palestinians were massacred on Monday night, most of them women and children, we live in a world where it is accepted as legal that U.S. President Donald Trump is genocidally Zionist because he received a $100 million donation from Miriam Adelson to be so. In addition to which Adelson is the second largest donor to AIPAC, which openly pays hundreds of other elected and potential U.S. politicians to be genocidally Zionist too. This is Western democracy.
