Israel has no right to defend itself as it is an occupying power, Russia’s representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, said at an emergency special session of the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.

“The only thing they can muster is continued pronouncements about Israel’s supposed right to self defense, although as an occupying power, it does not have that power as confirmed by the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice handed down in 2004,” said the Russian representative. Despite stating that Israel does not have the right to defend itself, Nebenzya proceeded to state that Israel does have the right to “ensure its security” and “to fight terrorism.” As for Israel’s security - and we recognize its rights to ensure its security - this security can only be fully guaranteed if we resolve the Palestinian issue on the basis of relevant UN Security Council resolutions," said the Russian representative

Did Russia just modify their position? It still plays the 'both sides' but I don't remember them using this kind of language. I have to admit I don't follow Russia's UN statements closely but it seems like legal beagle Putin is using the 2004 ICJ ruling as a way to further distance Russia from the western position.

I found a Youtube upload - Anti-Israel protesters disrupt Blinken's testimony - YouTube

---

Blinken is testifying before congress and people are protesting inside the chamber. It's hard to see but they have symbolic blood-stained hands.

Somebody holds up a sign, yells, and gets escorted out. And then somebody else does the same thing.

Ninja edit: Right now they are all yelling!

Edit

~~I was very lucky to catch the protest. Apparently when I checked the news - I started watching just a minute or two into it and it's already over. They've all be taken away. Right now it's back to normal evil. Blinken is droning on and on like an automaton from his speech.~~

I was wrong! It's still on! Haha. Fucking fantastic.

CNN seems to be ignoring the protest - they are streaming from northern Israel - https://www.livenewsmag.com/cnn/

I didn't know France sent a first helicopter.

France to send second helicopter carrier to Gaza coastline as part of aid effort

France’s defence minister said the move comes as part of its worth with the Israeli and Egyptian authorities to find a way to provide medical assistance to the people of Gaza.

France deployed a helicopter carrier to the area last week.

Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu also told the France Info radio station that messages had been sent to Hezbollah and Israel, urging them not to do anything that would make it impossible for the UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon to carry out its mandate.

Eleven bakeries destroyed, only nine remain: UN relief agency

Eleven bakeries in Gaza have been struck and destroyed since 7 October, according to an update from the UN relief agency UNOCHA.

Six of the destroyed bakeries were in Gaza City, two in Jabalia, two in the Middle Area and one in Khan Younis, UNOCHA added.

With only nine bakeries left operating in Gaza as of Wednesday, people are being “exposed to air strikes” while standing in “hours-long queues”, UNOCHA said.

The bakeries are receiving flour from UNOCHA, but are struggling to continue operating due to fuel shortages, the relief agency added.

Israeli tanks ‘pushing towards’ Gaza city’s downtown area

Safwat Kahlout reporting from central Gaza

Israel is … pushing tanks towards the downtown, specifically towards the al-Shifa hospital which is located in the heart of Gaza city.

From the southern part of Gaza city, the Israeli tanks already stationed at Salahuldin main road, and they are advancing or pushing towards the coastal road known as Rashid street – so, they are controlling the two main roads that link Gaza city with the rest of the Gaza strip.

We learned from witnesses who managed to flee or to escape from Gaza city towards the south, that thousands of people from the north of Gaza city itself now are heading towards al-Shifa hospital, seeking shelter.

Heavy exchange of fire is taking place between fighting groups and the Israeli tanks that are trying to push forward inside the downtown.

New York Times: The United States is trying to convince Israel to temporarily stop the war in Gaza

Maybe. I am not entirely sure I even believe this anymore though.

The "genociding soldier crying about all the crimes against humanity they had to do" is apparently such a fixture in Israeli society that there's even an English Wikipedia article about it lol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_and_crying

US expects Israeli air attacks to decrease soon: CNN

A senior US official has told CNN that the US expects Israel to change its tactics in its conflict against Hamas in the coming days, and shift from its current intense air bombardment of Gaza, which has killed thousands of civilians, and instead adopt “more of a tactical focus on the ground campaign” aimed at clearing out Hamas’s underground tunnel network.

The official, however, distanced the US from support for a ceasefire, and instead said that the US was emphasising “humanitarian pauses”.

Found this gem on Amy Schumer's Twitter. I'm seriously feeling so doomer after watching this. How can someone be looking at the same events and walk away with this framing of the situation. How will Zionists ever be re-educated. I feel like hope is lost. Sorry maybe I shouldn't be doomer but this is just so incredibly deranged that it fucked me up

A steward who works for Manchester United football club has been fired by them, because he told someone on Twitter that if they faced violence for holding a Palestine flag he would help him, as is his job. - Nitter thread

Argentinian media is ridiculously pro-israel and, therefore, pro-genocide. When Hamas launched their attack on Oct. 7th, they didn't stop talking about the plight of israel and how hard life is thanks to "these butchers and terrorists". But as soon as the propaganda ran dry and as israel intensified it's bombing campaign (Especially when they bombed the hospital in Gaza), they shifted away from the war. Now, as israel begins it's most savage genocidal stage, the media is pretty much silent. Maybe one or two articles talking about "US officials urging israel to be moderate" but that's it, no pictures of dead Gazan children, no reports from the thousands of people inside Gaza crying for help, barely one mention of the settler's actions in the West Bank, no reports of massive protests worldwide, nothing. It's just "israel bombs Hamas" and that's it.

Disgusting people. But be certain of something: When our time comes... you know the rest. We wont have mercy on those who enable, deny or whitewash this ongoing genocide. There's a special bullet, a special wall and a special pit for them. Be certain of that.

White House says no sign Hezbollah ready to go in ‘full force’

Amid an increase of fire across the Israel-Lebanon border, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said there is no indication the Iran-backed group is ready “to go in full force.”

Still, he said the White House was concerned about attacks on Israeli by Hezbollah, who claimed to have hit 19 Israeli positions in a simultaneous attack today.

cope?

Would you want your child growing up in a world where Israel didn't exist? I thought so. Think a little before you type out "death to isn'treal" and "death to america" on this website.

This process of drawing political legitimization from a sacred text can lead to fanaticism with dangerous consequences. The Bible, for instance, has references to genocide: the Amalekites were killed to the last by Joshua. Today there are those, thankfully for now only a fanatical minority, who refer not only to the Palestinians as Amalekites but also to those who are not Jewish enough in their eyes.

"thankfully for now only a fanatical minority" - christ, Ilan Pappe wrote this in 2017 and we've already seen Netanyahu call the Palestinians 'Amalek'

Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Ubaida: The Navy was able to carry out a number of attacks on naval targets off the coast of Gaza using the remotely piloted “Al-Asif” torpedo, which we revealed for the first time.

Surprisingly sharp commentary on the state of modern media.

There won't be a direct annoucement of Hezbollah's entry in the war. His choice of words in Arabic isn't indicating war so far
