Genocide news, six actions, and 5 more items, by Mazin Qumsiyeh
I start with genocide news, go to actions YOU can take and then five more
items of relevance (please share and act)
Item 1: (Genocide) Seven Babies died in one of the only remaining hospital
with incubators. They died…. for lack of milk. They add to over hundreds
of babies (less than 1 year old) who died by carpet bombing residential
neighborhoods. But now, the deaths of babies is already more from
malnutrition and diseases (genocide by famine) than from bombings. It is
expected to rise. Amnesty on genocide by hunger
Former Mossad official: Children over 4 deserve to be starved

In the early morning Thursday few aid trucks drove to reach Gaza City
where 700,000 people are in a state of famine and despair. As >3000 rushed
to get the sacs of flour, the nearby Israeli military post opened fire with
machine guns and tank fire. Over a thousand were injured by Israeli bullets
and a minimum of 112 were reported dead on the scene (but dozens of fallen
nearer to check point could not be reached so the numbers in this one
massacre are liable to climb higher. Many of the injured will die because
the only major hospital in the area (Al-Shifa) is only able to provide
minimal treatment as it has been attacked with its supplies almost gone and
many of its medical staff were kidnapped by the occupation army. Again look
for amputations and bullet extraction with kitchen knives and no
anesthesia.
What Israelis think: Kill more civilians

As a friend wrote “The strategy of genocide has increased its efficiency of
murder by hitting into the places where more people can be eliminated with
less use of ammunitions, or, in the case of babies, even without any
ammunition and in silence.” This child and his bird were killed
Osama and his bird were killed yesterday…💔💔💔 by Israel along with 23 other members of his family including his mom. More than 47% of the population in Gaza are children. pic.twitter.com/JcOCmOxxAS

ITEM 6: Scholasticide – Destroying Gaza universities and education is part
and parcel of colonial activities
https://popular-resistance.blogspot.com/2023/12/assault-on-education.html
Zionist Israeli universities are complicit: That is why academic and
cultural boycotts are also as important as economic boycotts globally of
Israeli (and US!) products. See
https://jacobin.com/2024/02/israel-universities-palestine-apartheid-academia
ITEM 7: While many governments stand with aparthed Israel and its genocide
of Palestinians, the people stand with human rights and against teir
government. Hre is an example from Australia (where I am heading in Apri).

The ultimate chutzpah to cap: the US administration will give 53 million in
humanitarian aid to people in the West Bank and Gaza. That is after cutting
funding of $350 million to UNRWA (which is devastating this UN agency).
This after sending billions to Israel (more per capita than any other
country or even any state of the union in the US). This after sending over
200 billion of weapons to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing of
Palestinians in the past five decades. This after the US weapons delivered
over the past 5 months leveled Gaza strip causing over $6 BILLION n damage
(let alove over 110,000 casualties proportionally equivalent to 15 million
US Citizens)
