US-Israel Gaza genocide

It’s another deadly day for Palestinians in Gaza as the Israeli military continues to pound the blockaded territory with more attacks. In the latest such strike, at least three Palestinians were killed after Israeli warplanes bombed Gaza’s Workers’ Union in the al-Saftawi area in northern Gaza. Earlier, the Israeli bombings of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, left at least 10 Palestinians dead and several others injured. There are reports that the Israeli military shot at people trying to rescue those buried under the rubble in the attack. Israeli warplanes also carried out air raids on Beit Lahia, north of Jabalia, leaving at least 10 Palestinians dead and several others injured. Jabalia is an area that has been the focal point of regime attacks for the past nearly one month. The Israeli aggression that began in October last year, has so far claimed the lives of more than 43,200 people.

Israel killing journalists

November 2nd marks the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. The purpose of this day is to express solidarity with journalists who strive to represent the truth and provide correct information. In his message for this day, UN Secretary General António Guterres says Gaza has seen the highest number of killings of journalists and media workers in any war in decades, calling for urgent steps to protect journalists worldwide. According to Palestinian officials, over one hundred-80 journalists have been killed in Israeli aggression in Gaza since October last year. Dozens of journalists have been killed in Lebanon as well. Meanwhile, today marks the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration that led to the creation of Israel by the West by uprooting the Palestinians from their ancestral lands. On this day in 1917, then British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour issued an infamous statement to pledge the settlement of European Jews on Palestinian lands.
