New UN report outlines the ‘Anatomy of a Genocide’ in Gaza
Last week, the UN Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese issued a report titled “Anatomy of a Genocide,” concluding that there are “reasonable grounds to believe” that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide has been met.
Such reports are not usually titled, but the title itself depicts the nature of what Albanese describes in her immaculate 25-page report. It not only outlines a textbook case of genocide, with clearly and widely expressed intent by leaders backed up by clear genocidal actions — it also describes how Israel has used the language and principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL, the laws governing warfare) to conceal the act.
Albanese begins with the historical context of the genocide, even
rooted in Israeli pre-state colonialist intents, and then charts out how
Israel has committed three central facets under the crime of genocide —
the killing of members of a particular group of people, causing bodily
or mental harm, and creating destructive conditions of life. There is
also a section concerning intent that chronicles some of the countless,
unambiguous, genocidal expressions of Israeli leaders. ..................

‘We’ll wipe them out in the outhouse’: Russia’s long and bloody fight against terrorism
It
was the deadliest act of terrorism in Russia for the past 20 years. In
recent decades, the country has suffered from both small-scale (but no
less tragic) terrorist acts – which are not well known internationally –
and major tragedies which have resulted in many deaths. They have taken
place both in Moscow and other regions of the country. ......

Death Toll in Israeli Airstrikes on Syria’s Aleppo Rises to 52
38 Syrian soldiers, 7 Hezbollah members among the deadSyria’s Aleppo Province saw the deadliest Israeli attacks in years on Friday, when Israeli warplanes hit multiple targets in the Aleppo countryside and targeted a Hezbollah warehouse near Aleppo’s airport. The warehouse reportedly housed rockets, and the attack resulted in a series of explosions.
As of Saturday, at least 52 people were reported killed in the Israeli attacks, 38 of them Syrian soldiers, 7 pro-Iranian forces and 7 members of Hezbollah. The toll may yet rise further, however, as civilians were also reported slain and still do not appear in the final count. Dozens were also reported wounded.
Israel declined comment on the killings in Syria, saying they do not comment on reports of their strikes from the media. They did however claim to have killed the deputy head of Hezbollah’s rocket and missile unit in a separate attack on southern Lebanon.
Israel’s involvement in the attacks doesn’t appear to be in any serious doubt, however, as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant made comments on the matter referring to it as a “successful termination like the one executed this morning.” He suggested more attacks on pro-Iran factions should be expected as rockets continue to fly from Lebanon.....

Secret Docs Reveal Germany's Public Health Agency Warned Lockdowns Cause More Harm Than Good
Authored by John Cody via ReMix News,
Following a long legal battle, Germany’s public health agency, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), has released the confidential protocols that show the RKI was aware that “lockdowns cause more harm than good” and evidence for “making masks mandatory was lacking.”
The RKI voiced concerns in 2020 that shutting down German society could lead to increased child mortality and other negative outcomes. The RKI experts also disagreed with the implementation of FFP2 face masks, saying there was a lack of data to support such a measure.
“Active communication would make sense in order to make clear why the RKI does not recommend this measure,” notes the minute regarding implementing FFP2 mask regulations. The agency even notes in the minutes that it would tell the public it did not support FFP2 mask regulations, but notably, the agency never did so despite mass protests against mandatory masks and other harsh measures.
The 2,500 pages of documents also contain a passage noting that experts warned that lockdowns could “do more harm than good,” with experts citing lockdowns in Africa and the negative outcomes seen there.

Released captive tells how Israeli fire killed kibbutz resident
The Electronic Intifada 12 March 2024
An Israeli woman taken captive by Palestinian fighters on 7 October 2023 is grateful to the helicopter pilot who shot at the vehicle she was riding in, killing another Israeli as well as all of their abductors, Israel’s Channel 12 reported last month.
Shani Goren, a 29-year-old resident of Kibbutz Nir Oz, was taken from her home at gunpoint by Palestinian fighters and transported to the Gaza Strip, where she was held for 55 days. She was released on 30 November.
Before she reached Gaza, however, a vehicle carrying Goren away came under heavy fire from an Israeli combat helicopter.
When the gunfire ceased, Goren realized that the helicopter’s high-caliber bullets had killed all of her abductors, as well as one Israeli woman, fellow Nir Oz resident Efrat Katz.
“My pants are all ripped and covered in blood. I raise my head and see dominoes,” Goren recalled to Ilana Dayan, host of Channel 12’s prestigious investigative program Uvda – and by coincidence also her cousin. “All the terrorists – dead.”....
