'Sickening': Reactions to Gaza doctor's rape and murder in Israeli prison

Gaza doctor's rape and murder

Condemnations and reactions poured in from around the world over the "likely rape" and murder of a renowned Palestinian doctor from Gaza in an Israeli prison after a report revealed chilling new details of his last moments.

Adnan al Bursh, an orthopaedic surgeon who had continued to treat the wounded even when Israeli bombs fell all around him, was detained on December 19, 2023, and taken to the notorious Sde Teiman detention facility.

Four months later, he was transferred to Ofer Prison in the occupied West Bank, unable to walk and eventually died, a Sky News investigation has revealed.

According to testimony collected by the Israeli human rights organisation HaMoked, Bursh arrived in Ofer Prison in a severely battered condition, naked from the waist down, and unable to stand.

UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese called out "the racism of Western media" who are not covering the story of "a stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics".

TVNL Comment:  A more detailed account of the murder of Dr. Adnan al Bursh can be found here. This MUST SEE, with its embedded videos, has been totally ignored by the western media.  For those who want the truth, this is a very important source.

California city council passes $5.9m reparations deal with ex-residents

Alvin Taylor

The Palm Springs city council on Thursday unanimously approved a $5.9m reparations settlement with former residents of a largely Black neighborhood that was leveled in the 1960s for commercial development.

The city council was also set to approve another $21m for housing and small business support aimed at the former residents and their descendants.

Former residents of the Section 14 neighborhood, which also included Latino families and other immigrants, have fought for decades to receive compensation for being pushed out of their neighborhood in the California resort town located about 70 miles (113km) east of Los Angeles.

Palm Springs’ mayor, Jeffrey Bernstein, before casting his vote to approve the settlement, said he knew it was a mostly symbolic measure.

HRW accuses Israel of war crime of forced displacement in Gaza

Gaza displacements sare war crimes

Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by deliberately causing the mass displacement of Palestinians in Gaza, a report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) says.

About 1.9 million people - 90% of Gaza’s population - have fled their homes over the past year, and 79% of the territory is under Israeli-issued evacuation orders, according to the UN.

HRW’s report says this amounts to “forcible transfer” and that “evidence shows it has been systematic and part of a state policy”. It also says Israeli actions appear to “meet the definition of ethnic cleansing”.

Humanitarians Say Israel Failed To Improve Gaza Aid. The U.S. Still Won't Listen.

Israel ignores starvation in GazaWith Tuesday marking the end of the Biden administration’s window for the Israeli government to materially improve the humanitarian response in war-torn Gaza, international aid organizations are condemning the country’s failure to meet U.S. demands and, in some cases, outright worsening the crisis that has devastated Palestinians for the last 13 months.

“Israel not only failed to meet the U.S. criteria that would indicate support to the humanitarian response, but concurrently took action that dramatically worsened the situation on the ground, particularly in Northern Gaza,” eight aid organizations said in a report on Tuesday. “That situation is in an even more dire state today than a month ago.”

The damning report by Oxfam, Save the Children, MedGlobal, Anera, CARE, Mercy Corps, Refugees International and the Norwegian Refugee Council rates Israel’s progress in complying with the U.S. letter’s humanitarian demands.

Evaluating 19 measures of relief, the organizations’ scorecard found Israel to be noncompliant on 15, partially compliant on four and fully compliant on zero.

This lawyer is fighting defamation lawsuits that can silence sexual assault victims

Victimes afraid to accuse violators

"One minute I'm in this nice restaurant, and the next minute I'm waking up, coming out of a severe coma in the ER, not knowing how I got there," Burke says. "It was absolutely terrifying."

She eventually pieced together what happened: After drinks, this individual brought her back to her apartment complex. They stayed in his car for more than an hour until 911 was called. Paramedics arrived and found Burke incoherent, vomiting, her shirt askew and breasts exposed. The acquaintance didn't stick around.

Burke believes this person assaulted her.

In recounting this painful event to a friend, who is also a lawyer, her friend had a stark warning: Don't say this person's name or publicly accuse him of assault.

"'He could sue you for defamation,'" Burke says she remembered her friend saying.

Burke was shocked — and angry.

‘Strong likelihood’ of imminent famine in northern Gaza, food experts warn, as Israel continues siege

Imminent famine in Gaza

There is a “strong likelihood that famine is imminent in areas” of the northern Gaza Strip, a committee of global food security experts warned on Friday, as Israel claims to be pursuing a military offensive against Palestinian militant group Hamas in the area.

“Immediate action, within days not weeks, is required from all actors who are directly taking part in the conflict, or have influence on its conduct, to avert and alleviate this catastrophic situation,” the independent Famine Review Committee (FRC) said in a rare alert.

The warning comes just days ahead of a US deadline for Israel to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which the UN said almost a year ago had been made “uninhabitable” by Israeli attacks, or face potential restrictions on US military aid.

Middle East latest: Israel ends agreement with UN agency providing aid in Gaza

israel bans UNRWAIsrael said Monday that it has terminated the agreement facilitating the work of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, the main aid provider in Gaza, in what appeared to be a step to implement legislation passed last month that would sever ties with the agency and prevent it from operating in Israel.

Israel says the agency, known as UNRWA, has been infiltrated by Hamas. UNRWA denies the allegations and says it takes measures to ensure its neutrality.

On Sunday, Israel said its troops had carried out a ground raid into Syria to seize a Syrian it accuses of working with Iran. It was the first time in the current war that Israel announced its troops operated in Syrian territory.

TVNL Comment: Using starvation as a weapon is a crime under international law.  Israel is a criminal under international law.  The US is complicit in the crimes in Gaza and Lebanon.  Where is the outrage?
