B'Tselem: Since 10 October 2025, when the so-called ceasefire was announced, the Israeli army have killed 631 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The international community is enabling Israel’s policies and the ongoing genocide. The genocide in Gaza is not over.

 B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم

Since Saturday, 28 February, under cover of the ongoing Israeli-American attack on Iran, Israel has killed ten people in the Gaza Strip. 
 
As the assault began, Israel sealed all crossings into Gaza, halting all entry of food, medical supplies, and humanitarian workers. On Tuesday, Israel reopened only one crossing, Kerem Shalom. Only 16 trucks entered that day, 14 carrying humanitarian aid and two with goods for local markets. 
 
Israel continues to enforce the humanitarian crisis: 
 
Since the so-called ceasefire was declared, it has kept most crossings closed while imposing draconian restrictions on the transfer of food, as well as equipment and personnel essential for residents’ survival. About 22,000 wounded and sick people in Gaza still need urgent medical evacuation. 
 
According to the World Food Programme, at least 1.6 million people, 77% of Gaza’s population, are suffering from acute food insecurity, including more than 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women who are expected to face acute malnutrition by next month. 
 
The overwhelming majority of Gaza’s two million residents remain displaced, living for over two years now in unbearable conditions, in tents or damaged buildings. 
 
Since 10 October 2025, when the so-called ceasefire was announced, the Israeli army have killed 631 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The international community is enabling Israel’s policies and the ongoing genocide. 
 
The genocide in Gaza is not over.

2025: 𝗜𝗻𝘁 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 & 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 The #UNGA resolution calls on the int'l community to resolve conflicts through inclusive dialogue & negotiation in order to ensure the strengthening of peace & trust in relations between UN member states buff.ly/4ipa3uj
 

Adopted in London on 16 November 1945 and amended by the General Conference at its 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 31st and 40th sessions.

"Peace based exclusively upon the political and economic arrangements of governments would not be a peace which could secure the unanimous, lasting and sincere support of the peoples of the world, [...] peace must therefore be founded, if it is not to fail, upon the intellectual and moral solidarity of mankind."

"Israeli supporters thirst for these lies. They do not want to know the truth. The truth would force them to examine their racism, self-delusion and complicity in oppression, murder and genocide." Chris Hedges

Israel’s Culture of Deceit

Israel, which always seeks to blame Palestinians for the atrocities it carries out, is the least trustworthy source about the bombing of the hospital in Gaza. 

Oct 18, 2023

Israel was founded on lies. The lie that Palestinian land was largely unoccupied. The lie that 750,000 Palestinians fled their homes and villages during their ethnic cleansing by Zionist militias in 1948 because they were told to do so by Arab leaders. The lie that it was Arab armies that started the 1948 war that saw Israel seize 78 percent of historic Palestine. The lie that Israel faced annihilation in 1967, forcing it to invade and occupy the remaining 22 percent of Palestine, as well as land belonging to Egypt and Syria. 

Israel is sustained by lies. The lie that Israel wants a just and equitable peace and will support a Palestinian state. The lie that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. The lie that Israel is an “outpost of Western civilization in a sea of barbarism.” The lie that Israel respects the rule of law and human rights. 

Israel’s atrocities against the Palestinians are always greeted with lies. I heard them. I recorded them. I published them in my stories for The New York Times when I was the paper’s Middle East Bureau Chief.

I covered war for two decades, including seven years in the Middle East...READ MORE
