ITEM 1: More on the continuing genocide Israel used artificial intelligence to set 37,000 bombing locations. Even when a potential single fighter was found in a building with 100 civilians, it was OK. But most buildings had no hHamas fighters (they were and are in tunnels). Read this unprecedented language and orders (never in history did any military do this) A side effect: The debunking of the lie that resistance forces like Hamas used "human shields". Israel's intentional targeting of three cars killing seven people from World Central Kitchen including internationals Genocide will continue even if the bombing stops tomorrow
ITEM 2: More massacres Israeli forces shown intentionally killing palestinian collecting food aid Torture and executions are common now. Some chose to ignore Alshifa massacres. Children are targeted by Israeli snipers Israeli doctor blows whistle on israeli abuses UN human rights body demands Israel be held accountable

ITEM 4: Obscured by the fog of the Gaza war, Palestinians face a different threat
