Israeli forces killed at least 28 Palestinians — including 17 children — in Gaza on Wednesday following their massacre of 13 Palestinians in a refugee camp in southern Lebanon.
Israeli authorities and security forces “committed four of the five genocidal acts defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide,” says a new U.N. report.
The razing of Gaza is not a crime only against the Palestinian people but against our cultural and historical heritage. We can’t understand the present, especially when reporting on Palestine and Israel, if we don’t understand the past.
As Israel prepares for its ground invasion to decrease Gaza’s territory, it is also cracking down on dissent harder than ever, including on journalists, reports Elizabeth Vos.
