Journalists do not die - They are killed
Quds News - Dec 9, 2025
{RSF: Israeli Army Killed Nearly Half of All Journalists Slain in 2025
Nearly half of the journalists killed in 2025 died in Israeli attacks on Gaza, RSF says, warning of a global spike in targeted violence against the press.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said that Israeli forces killed almost half of the journalists who lost their lives in 2025. The group reported that 43% of all journalists killed this year were kilked in Israeli attacks in Gaza. The Government Media Office in Gaza also released updated numbers. It said Israeli forces have killed 257 Palestinian journalists since the genocide in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. RSF said 67 journalists died in. According to the group, 53 journalists died in war zones or at the hands of criminal gangs. RSF also described Sudan as an exceptionally deadly war zone for media workers this year. In Mexico, organized crime groups drove a sharp rise in journalist killings. RSF said 2025 became the deadliest year in at least three years, with nine journalists killed. Mexico now ranks as the second most dangerous country in the world for reporters. RSF noted that journalists face the highest risk inside their home countries. Globally, 135 journalists are missing in 37 countries. RSF said 72% of them disappeared in the Middle East and Latin America, and that some have been missing for more than 30 years. RSF director-general Christophe Deloire said the killing of 67 journalists this year did not happen by chance. He said they died because of their work. He stressed that media criticism is legitimate when it pushes reform and protects press freedom. But he warned against hate campaigns targeting journalists. He said armed forces and criminal groups often create or fuel this hostility. Deloire said impunity drives the violence. He argued that international bodies have failed to protect journalists and defend their rights in wars and conflicts because governments have lost the courage to act. He warned that journalists have become “side victims, disturbing witnesses, bargaining chips, and pieces on diplomatic chessboards.” He said no journalist “sacrifices” their life for the profession. Instead, their lives are taken.
“Journalists do not die,” he said. “They are killed.”} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66857&slug=rsf-israeli-army-killed-nearly-half-of-all-journalists-slain-in-2025


Videoscreen grab: Sundus before and after - Courtesy of Eman Hillis
Al Jazeera - Dec 9, 2025 - By Eman Hillis
{Israel shot my little sister during the Gaza ceasefire
Sundus was not lucky enough for the world to condemn her shooting or even to get proper medical care.
Gaza City – An Israeli sniper shot my six-year-old sister at a family friend’s wedding in northern Gaza during the ceasefire on November 3. In the Daraj quarter, far from the Israel-controlled yellow area, Sundus was playing on the first floor of a wedding hall with other kids, happy with her new clothes, while the wedding itself was taking place upstairs.
Suddenly, she collapsed.
Shouts filled the hall on the second floor. Bullets whistled loudly among the guests. One bullet hit the bridesmaid in the jaw, and another hit the groom’s cousin in her shoulder. The bride’s white dress turned red — the wedding stopped before anyone danced. Maria, my seven-year-old sister, came running. “Sundus is sleeping on the ground and won’t wake up.” Mum ran to the first floor, searching everywhere for Sundus, but found only a pool of blood. Her phone rang, “We are in the Baptist Hospital [al-Ahli Arab Hospital]. Come quickly,” her brother Ali said. “An Israeli sniper shot the child Sundus Hillis in the head,” the news circulated as we were on the way to the hospital. We knew nothing about our little one. When we arrived, Sundus was lying in a hospital bed. Blood covered her beautiful face, staining the makeup and the colourful clothes she had been overjoyed to wear.
“Sundus, oh love. Wake up,” Mum begged her, but she only groaned weakly.
“Two bullets in her head,” a nurse inspecting Sundus’s injury told Mum. Two holes, one bullet, and some parts of the brain lost, the medical report showed.
In the ICU
Sundus was moved to Al-Shifa Hospital.
Before she entered the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the neurosurgeon tapped her right hand – she unconsciously moved it. But when he tapped her left hand and leg, nothing moved. Sundus underwent a three-hour-long surgery and remained in the ICU. We were permitted to visit for only 15 minutes. When I first entered the room, the doctor guided me to a child with a swollen face and a bandaged head, tubes everywhere, who bore very little resemblance to my beautiful Sundus. One day passed, and Sundus was still kept in the ICU until another patient in critical condition needed the bed, and she was moved to the inpatient ward. She finally woke up after two days, unable to see or move the left side of her body. No matter how much I talked to her, the only response I got was loud cries. She was rubbing her face, trying to look at anything but failing. “My eyes are crossed … I can’t see anything. Why have you made me like this?” she would shout. The wedding she had been looking forward to for days had disappeared from her memory. In her mind, she is still sleeping in our cousins’ shelter, where she was before the wedding hall. Sundus, who used to chatter all the time, could now only groan weakly. I used to make her draw just for a moment of quiet, but now I try to get her to speak, and she cries. Dad, too, who used to complain, begs her to make noise, but we get nothing except: “Stop talking. My head hurts.” “Why have you buried me alive?” she once shouted at Mum, after agonising, futile attempts to roll over in the hospital bed.
Hung by blockade
A few days after the surgery, Sundus was able to feel the brightness of light. She was able to see apparitions sometimes; at other times, she was unable to see at all. When she sensed the disappointment in our voices, she started guessing. That the red butterfly was blue or that the pink doll was a pink rose. I saw Sundus get angry at herself because she couldn’t move, then burst into tears – it’s a loop she suffers daily. The neurosurgeon had no clear answers for us when we asked whether she would return to her normal self. A simple “inshallah” was his answer for all questions. We had to face him several times with specific questions to get a clear answer. “She needs physical therapy, and it’s up to God whether she will regain her mobility or not … her vision will improve to a certain extent, but it won’t go back to how it was,” he said. Sundus didn’t stop moaning in pain, and the hospital did not have proper resources. We had to scour the streets for painkillers and other things for her. One day, I needed to find a medical cap to cover her wound – but found nothing in four pharmacies, walking through destroyed streets. Another time, I needed surgical gauze and could only find another kind, but she needed anything, urgently, so I had to buy what I found. I tried every international organisation to help get her out of Gaza. I sent her medical reports to anyone who might be able to help – all to no avail. Sundus heard talk of evacuation and started to dream of being able to move and see again. “The damage is done. Whatever the bullet damaged cannot be repaired by a surgeon,” a foreign doctor told us via messaging after he looked at Sundus’s records remotely, and our last bit of hope was shattered. Her condition deteriorated as the medical care was limited in the destroyed hospital. Her injury became infected and needed another surgery, in which she lost a significant amount of blood. It felt like Israel shot Sundus, then used the blockade to tighten a rope around her neck.
Evading death
For two years, we’ve been making impossible decisions to avoid injury to anyone in the family. When Israel issued warnings to the north of Gaza, we evacuated to the south. When Israel warned of a ground operation in Khan Younis, we evacuated to Rafah. When the ground operation in Rafah was announced, we rushed to Deir el-Balah. We only returned to northern Gaza as the truce took effect in January 2025. We slept in the streets, sheltered from bombs under the thin fabric of tents. For months, we endured starvation, not approaching aid drops or the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Besieged Palestinians in Gaza know what harsh fate awaits them when injured. We felt like we owned the land when the ceasefire took effect, feeling lucky to have lost only our home and suffered from malnutrition. Then an Israeli sniper took that relief from us. What did little Sundus do for the Israeli soldier to shoot her in the head? We are supposedly in a ceasefire. Ironically, my friends everywhere, instead of condemning the shooting, first asked me if Sundus had been in the “yellow area” that is held by Israel.
All the times we nearly died while trying to stay in the “safe zone” crossed my mind as I repeated that she was not, sharing the location of the wedding hall with tens of people.
Shooting a six-year-old child is a war crime.
However, it didn’t even make the headlines.
It was nothing out of the ordinary in Gaza.
Sundus was not lucky enough for the world to condemn her shooting or even to get proper medical care.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2025/12/9/israel-shot-my-little-sister-during-the-gaza-ceasefire


Attack and Killings
Quds News - Dec 9, 2025
{In 60 Days of Gaza Ceasefire, Israel Violated Truce About 738 Times: GGMO
The Office said about 386 civilians have been killed and 980 others injured in the violations, with children, women and the elderly accounting for the majority of the victims.
Gaza (QNN)- Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire at least 738 times in 60 days, killing hundreds of Palestinians since the truce came into effect on 10 October, according to the Gaza Government Media Office on Tuesday.
Attack and Killings
The Office said about 386 civilians have been killed and 980 others injured in the violations, with children, women and the elderly accounting for the majority of the victims. The Office condemned “in the strongest terms the continued serious and systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement by the Israeli occupation authorities,” adding “these violations constitute a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and the humanitarian protocol attached to the agreement.”
The Office added that Israel shot at civilians 205 times, raided residential areas beyond the “yellow line” 37 times, bombed and shelled Gaza 358 times, and demolished people’s properties on 138 occasions. It added that Israel has also abducted 38 Palestinians from Gaza during the 50 days. The Palestinian Health Ministry said over 70,100 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the genocide in Ocotber 2023.
Aid Entry
Israel has also continued to block vital humanitarian aid and destroy infrastructure across the Strip, the Office said. “The humanitarian situation in Gaza is deteriorating at an unprecedented rate, and the Israeli aggression has destroyed infrastructure and essential services,” Ismail al-Thawabta, director of the office, added. The Office noted that Israel has failed to meet even the minimum agreed-upon levels of aid: only 13,511 trucks entered the Gaza Strip over the 60 days of ceasefire, out of the 36,000 that were supposed to enter. This amounts to an average of just 226 trucks per day, compared to the 600 scheduled daily. “This serious shortfall has prolonged the shortages of food, medicine, water, and fuel, further deepening the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza.” Over the same period, only 315 fuel trucks entered Gaza out of the 3,000 that were supposed to be delivered, an average of just 5 trucks per day compared to the 50 stipulated in the agreement. “This means the occupation met only 10% of the agreed fuel quantities, leaving hospitals, bakeries, and water and sanitation facilities nearly at a standstill, and intensifying the daily suffering of civilians.”} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66854&slug=in-60-days-of-gaza-ceasefire-israel-violated-truce-about-738-times-ggmo

{Ben-Gvir Boasts: “100 Doctors Told Me, Just Tell Me When” to Help Execute Palestinians
Ben-Gvir boasts that 100 doctors told him “just tell me when,” as he pushes a death penalty law, designed to execute Palestinians.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said he received “100 calls from doctors” who told him: “Just tell me when.” His comment came ahead of a key debate on Israel’s proposed death penalty law for Palestinians. Members of Ben-Gvir’s Otzma Yehudit party arrived at the Knesset on Monday wearing noose-shaped pins. Ben-Gvir said the pins reflect the party’s commitment to pushing the death penalty law forward. “We all came with this pin,” he said. “It is one of the options we have when we pass the death penalty law for terrorists. There is the gallows. There is the electric chair. There is also anesthesia.” He said doctors had contacted him after earlier reports that medical professionals would refuse to participate. “I received 100 calls from doctors saying, ‘Itamar, just tell me when.’” The proposal comes from the far-right Otzma Yehudit party. Ben-Gvir called the vote a “historic step” and urged all coalition and opposition parties to support it. The bill calls for the death penalty for anyone Israel accuses of causing the death of a Jewish Israeli “intentionally or through indifference,” when motivated by “hatred of Israel.” It blocks any future reduction of a final death sentence. Israeli lawyer Khaled Mahajneh told Al Jazeera that the bill targets Palestinian detainees only. It does not apply to Jewish Israelis who committed similar crimes against Palestinians. He called the proposal racist and discriminatory. Mahajneh said the draft law allows Israeli judges to issue a death sentence by majority vote, not by unanimous decision. He described this as a “serious attack on judicial safeguards” and said it has no precedent in legislation that deals with the right to life. Mahajneh added that the core purpose of the law is to expand Israel’s legal killing powers against Palestinians. He said Israel already kills detainees inside prisons and army camps, and the law aims to turn these acts into state-approved executions. He said the legislation “does not rely on any legal logic, only on the logic of revenge.” He added that the political atmosphere since October 7, 2023 created a climate of incitement and retaliation. He said Israel has spent months carrying out practices that resemble executions inside prisons through starvation, medical neglect, and abuse. “There is no real need for such a law except to give these practices legal cover,” he said. The Israeli news site Walla reported on Monday that Israel has effectively executed 110 Palestinian hostages under extreme torture inside Israeli interrogation and detention centers. The report intensified fears that the proposed law will expand an already deadly system.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66858&slug=ben-gvir-boasts-100-doctors-told-me-just-tell-me-when-to-help-execute-palestinians

{Secret F-35 Fighter Jet Parts Send From Sydney to Israel on Passenger Flight, Probe Finds
At least 71 packages of F-35 fighter jet weapons parts were sent from a military base in Australia to Nevatim Air Force base in Israel.
Sydney (QNN)- At least 71 packages of F-35 fighter jet weapons parts were sent from a military base in Australia to Nevatim Air Force base in Israel, home of Israel’s F-35 flee that has been used in Gaza genocide, on a commercial passenger flight in November, an investigation by Declassified Australia revealed.
During a Senate interrogation by Greens Senator David Shoebridge last month and in a public admission by a senior Defence official that came in response to questions and reports about the F-35 parts exports, Deputy Secretary Hugh Jeffrey, said, “What you’re probably talking about is items that Lockheed Martin imported into Australia to support the maintenance and sustainment of our fleet and then needed to move around to someone else. They are entitled to do that under the F-35 global supply chain mechanism.” “These are US owned goods. They’re managed by Lockheed Martin. Australia does not direct the export of those goods. It does not control the export of those goods. If it’s resident in Australia, it needs to issue a permit for those goods to be moved offshore.” However, a newly leaked shipping document seen by Declassified Australia confirms the ‘lethality’ of these parts. The document reveals the latest shipment is a part for the 25mm four-barrel cannon on the F-35 fighter jet. It was covertly transferred on a commercial passenger flight about two weeks ago, sent from the Williamtown Air Force base in Australia to the Nevatim Air Force base in Israel. The package was flown out from Sydney International Airport in the cargo hold of a commercial passenger plane, Thai Airways flight TG472. This happened on Saturday afternoon, 22 November at 3.25pm. After transferring to its connecting flight, another passenger plane, El Al Israeli Airlines flight ELY84, touched down at Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel, on Sunday 10.45pm, local time. Then it was delivered to its destination at Nevatim, the base for the Israeli Air Force’s three F-35 squadrons that are continuing to inflict so much devastation on Gaza during the ongoing genocide. The leaked documents show the shipment from the Williamtown RAAF Base was labelled ‘Gasket, Ammunition Holder’, and marked as a ‘JSF’ (Joint Strike Fighter) part from its source company ‘Lockheed Martin’. The report says it is almost certainly for the 25mm GAU-22/A four-barrel cannon fitted to Israeli F-35s that can fire 3,300 rounds per minute and is used to devastating effect on Gaza. Lawyers representing the Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq have previously told a UK court the F-35s have played a critical role in Gaza and linked them to airstrikes that have killed more than 400 people, including 183 children and 94 women. More than 75 Australian companies have contributed to the global supply chain for the F-35 program, according to the defence department. More than 700 of the fighter jet’s “critical pieces” are manufactured in Victoria alone, according to the state government. The global supply chain is coordinated by the F-35’s primary manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, in the US. The fighter jet is used by the US and 19 allies, including the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan and South Korea. Manufacturers are not contracted to supply parts to one specific nation, such as Israel. Instead, they supply enough parts for large batches of F-35s that are bought from Lockheed Martin. In July, the Declassified website published a story confirming that civilian and military use aircraft parts had been sent from Sydney to Israel. The story cited shipping records that listed Lockheed Martin as the source of some parts and described them as being for the “JSF” – the F-35 joint strike fighter. Australia has been a partner in the US’s multilateral Joint Strike Fighter JSF Program’s Production, Sustainment and Follow-on Development (PSFD) Memorandum of Understanding, since it was signed by the Howard Liberal government in Washington in December 2006. Under the Joint Strike Fighter program, Australia holds parts for Australia’s fleet of F-35s, and RAAF Base Williamtown is being developed as a regional hub to hold parts for partner countries of Japan, South Korea, and US bases in the region. None of the leaked shipping documents seen by Declassified Australia show parts presently being sent from Australia to any country other than Israel. Australia’s supply of components and parts to the F-35 fighter jets, which have been used by Israel, constitutes “directly the facilitation of war crimes,” Josh Paul, a former US state department official who resigned over US arms shipments to Israel, told the ABC. The Australian Centre for International Justice, a non-profit legal centre, has said Australia’s role in the supply chain “raises grave concerns that Australian parts and components are involved in the atrocities we have seen unfold in Gaza”. Amnesty International Australia’s Mohamed Duar has said “the lack of transparency surrounding Australia’s defence exports hasmade it extremely difficult to determine the extent of our involvement in the commission of genocide and war crimes”. Human Rights Watch was among 232 civil society organisations who urged nations involved in the F-35 supply chain to “immediately halt all arms transfers to Israel”.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66856&slug=secret-f-35-fighter-jet-parts-send-from-sydney-to-israel-on-passenger-flight-probe-finds

{US court orders Trump admin to restore Rumeysa Ozturk’s student status
The ruling comes months after the Tufts doctoral student was freed from ICE detention where she was held for opposing Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. The United States government must restore Rumeysa Ozturk’s student visa record, a federal court has ruled, months after the Tufts student was released from immigration detention where she was being held for speaking out against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. United States District Judge Denise Casper delivered an interim ruling on Monday that US President Donald Trump’s administration must restore Ozturk’s name to a database of foreign students administered by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), known as SEVIS. The return of her SEVIS record would allow Ozturk, who is a doctoral student in childhood development and the media at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts, to work and participate in research related to her studies, her lawyers said. In a statement responding to the ruling, Ozturk said her student record was “unlawfully cancelled” because she co-wrote an op-ed advocating “for equal dignity and humanity for all”. “After eight long months, that record will now finally be restored,” she said. “Going through this brutality, which began with my unlawful arrest and 45 days of detention at a shameful for-profit ICE prison in Louisiana, I feel more connected to everyone whose educational rights are being denied – especially in Gaza,” Ozturk added, noting that “countless scholars have been murdered and every university has been intentionally destroyed,” in the Palestinian enclave. Ozturk, who came to the US from Turkiye to study as a Fullbright scholar, was taken into immigration detention on March 25 after her student visa was revoked as part of a wider Trump administration’s crackdown on students who spoke out against Israel’s brutal war on Gaza. Many universities had already begun harshly cracking down on the protests, which included the student encampment at Columbia University in New York, in a bid to repress criticism of the war, which received considerable funding and political support from the US government and companies. “Here in the US, it is truly sad how much valuable knowledge is currently being lost due to the widespread fear of punishment within the academic community,” Ozturk said in her statement on Monday. She was one of four Tufts students who co-authored an article published on March 26, 2024 in the Tufts Daily student newspaper, calling on the university to implement student resolutions to “acknowledge the Palestinian genocide” as well as to “disclose its investments and divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel”. The Trump administration said it had revoked her visa because she had “engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organisation”. Jessie Rossman, legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Massachusetts, one of the organisations representing Ozturk, said they were grateful her record would now be reinstated after months of “unlawful, and unfair, treatment”. “Ms Ozturk came to Massachusetts as a scholar to study childhood development and the media, and we all benefit when she is able to fully participate in her doctoral program,” Rossman said in a statement. Although many of the students arrested by the Trump administration for pro-Palestinian activism have since been released from detention, several, including former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil, have continued to face legal issues related to their immigration status. Meanwhile, Leqaa Kordia, a 32-year-old Palestinian woman who participated in the Columbia University protests, is still being detained in immigration detention, according to Amnesty International, months after she was arrested on March 13.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/9/us-court-orders-trump-admin-to-restore-rumeysa-ozturks-legal-status

{“New McCarthyism:” Tenured San José State Professor Fired Over Pro-Palestine, Anti-Genocide Protests
The dismissal is part of an aggressive crackdown on pro-Palestine activism on college campuses across the US by the Trump administration.
Claifornia (QNN)- A longtime faculty member at San José State University in California was fired last month over her pro-Palestinian activism, becoming the first tenured professor fired from a public university amid Trump’s crackdown on pro-Palestine campus protests against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Sang Hea Kil, a tensured professor at the university’s justice studies department and a faculty adviser for its Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, is the latest in a growing list of university professors and staff who have been suspended, investigated and in some cases dismissed or forced out in connection to the crackdown of pro-Palestinian protests that swept US campuses in the first year of Israel’s war in Gaza. The dismissal is part of an aggressive crackdown on pro-Palestine activism on college campuses across the US by the Trump administration, which also saw several overseas students arrested and deported while universities were hit with federal funding cuts by Trump over alleged anti-Semitic activities. According to The Guardian, Kil, who is contesting her dismissal, was the second tenured faculty member dismissed from a US public university over pro-Palestinian activism. Steven Salaita was fired in 2014 from the University of Illinois over a series of social media posts critical of Israel’s assault on Gaza that year. Maura Finkelstein, another tenured professor, was fired from Muhlenberg College, a private liberal arts college, following her criticism of Israel’s most recent war in Gaza, while Katherine Franke, a Columbia University law professor and longtime advocate for Palestinian rights was forced out amid what she called a “toxic and hostile environment for legitimate debate around the war in Israel and Palestine”. The university’s case against Kil stems from a February 2024 protest on campus, which she attended. The university claimed she had “disrupted the university’s business operations and encouraged students to do the same”. During the protest, history professor Jonathan Roth grabbed and twisted the arm of a student when she attempted to block him from recording protesters on his phone, according to videos of the incident. Kil said that she was at the protest in a personal capacity. She said that Roth, who was briefly suspended but later reinstated, had “assaulted” a student. She also said she joined the student encampment in part after similar ones in other cities were raided by police, leading to dozens of arrests. “A lot of my work is critical of policing, and I felt, because of what happened in New York and Los Angeles, obliged to camp with them,” Kil told the Guardian. She stayed at the encampment for three of the 10 days it lasted. The California Faculty Association, which is representing Kil as she seeks reinstatement through arbitration, said in a statement that it was “outraged” at her dismissal.  “You can’t fire people for their beliefs and expression,” said V Jesse Smith, a union representative. “It’s an infringement on free speech and academic freedom, and as a faculty union, we cannot let this happen.”  Kil said she planned to sue the university should the arbitration fail. “All faculty should be able to protest all genocides without targeted punitive actions,” she said at her public appeal hearing, during which she described the university’s actions against her as “New McCarthyism, where geopolitical interests interfere with constitutional rights and academic freedom on campuses across the nation and on this campus.” Last June, following an investigation, the university informed Kil that it would dismiss her over alleged violations of university policies, including “time, manner and place” restrictions intended to restrict protests. A faculty committee that reviewed the dismissal confirmed some of the allegations that Kil had violated university policy but concluded that the dismissal was disproportionate and not justified, according to internal documents reviewed by the Guardian. But the university president, Cynthia Teniente-Matson, upheld Kil’s dismissal despite the review and rebukes from the American Association of University Professors, Middle East Studies Association and California Scholars for Academic Freedom, among other groups. Henry Reichman, a retired professor at California State University, East Bay and leading expert on academic freedom, testified on behalf of Kil at a public hearing appealing against her termination. Reichman said that while Kil may have violated university policy, the dismissal was unwarranted because the violations did not affect her “fitness” to do her job, the standard held by groups like the AAUP with regards to faculty conduct. “You dismiss tenured professors for things like, the professor sexually assaulted a student, or the professor didn’t show up in class for five weeks in a row with no excuse,” he said. “None of this goes to her fitness to do the job for which she was hired.”} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66853&slug=new-mccarthyism-tenured-san-jos-state-professor-fired-over-pro-palestine-anti-genocide-protests

{HRF Files Complaint Against Israeli Soldier in Spain Over “Genocide and War Crimes” in Gaza
The group said last week that the complaint was submitted after confirming that Israeli soldier Benayau Nahum was present on Spanish territory.
Madrid (Quds News Network)- The Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) has filed a criminal complaint in Spain against an Israeli soldier for “responsibility in genocide and serious war crimes” committed during Israel’s assault on Gaza. The group said last week that the complaint was submitted after confirming that Israeli soldier Benayau Nahum was present on Spanish territory, “triggering Spain’s obligations under international law to investigate and prosecute grave international crimes.” HRF has formally requested the urgent arrest of the suspect to prevent his departure and to “ensure accountability.” According to the Belgium-based pro-Palestine group which leads a legal push against Israeli soldiers’ war crimes in Gaza, Nahum served as a soldier in the 97th Netzah Yehuda Battalion of the 900th Kfir Brigade. This unit has a long record of serious human rights violations, including the killing of unarmed civilians, abuse and torture of detainees, extrajudicial killings, and the systematic destruction of Palestinian property, HRF added. It noted that the battalion has previously been implicated in internationally condemned cases and has repeatedly operated in occupied Palestinian territory with “near-total impunity. Its presence in Gaza formed part of Israel’s large-scale ground operations in the north of the Strip.” HRF has evidence that places Nahum directly on the ground during Israel’s near-total destruction of Beit Hanoun city in northern Gaza as part of an Israeli plan aimed at emptying northern Gaza of its population. Entire neighborhoods were set on fire, leveled by heavy machinery, and erased from the map. The evidence “shows his participation in systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure, including homes and public buildings, at a time when Beit Hanoun was already largely depopulated and defenseless.” The group said Spain is bound by international law, including the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute, to “either prosecute or extradite individuals suspected of committing genocide and war crimes when they are found on its territory.”
Arrest Warrants
Concerns about soldiers being arrested abroad have prompted the military to change procedures regarding the exposure of soldiers to the media. In January, the military said in a statement that troops under the rank of brigadier general will now have their faces blurred in pictures or interviewed from the back and their full names concealed, similar to the current conduct when interviewing members of special forces and the Israeli Air Force.  Today, only those of the rank of brigadier general and above will be shown without hiding their faces and full names. Soldiers in lower ranks will only be presented by the first letter of their given name. Photographs will be taken from behind or edited and will be subject to approval by the military before publishing.  Those with multiple citizenship will also have their identities hidden from the media. Soldiers being interviewed may also not be “linked” to a specific incident of combat under the new guidelines. Additional procedures also include guidance from the International Law Department of the Army’s Military Prosecution for each soldier and officer before any interview or media appearance.
Committing War Crimes
Earlier this year, Israeli media published a guide for soldiers on how to avoid arrest when traveling abroad. Entitled “Here’s how to act if arrested abroad and what to check before flight”, Israeli news site Ynet published the guide, featuring advice from Nick Kaufman, a defense lawyer at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. He says that “any detained Israeli – whether a civilian or a soldier – is entitled to consular assistance”. “Soldiers who post videos online provide hostile organizations with potential evidence to support suspicions against them.” Describing videos of Israeli soldiers singing “racist songs” as “seemingly minor content”, he advises soldiers to “avoid posting photos or videos from their service, especially content showing destroyed buildings, even if there’s a military justification”. The guide also warns soldiers and officers in the military to consult an international criminal law expert before traveling anywhere, warning that “even friendly nations like the UK, France and Spain” may conduct arrests. It adds that insurance companies do not provide coverage “for arrests abroad related to alleged criminal acts”. Israeli newspaper Haaretz also reported that Israeli officials have begun coordinating with local law firms internationally to provide immediate legal assistance to Israeli officials facing prosecution for their actions in Gaza and already warned soldiers and reservists against travel abroad. Israeli legal officials are working to prevent investigations or arrests, according to Haaretz, although many note that statements by government members undermine efforts to defend soldiers. Additionally, the report noted that the Military Advocate General’s Corps, the Israeli foreign ministry, the National Security Council, and the Shin Bet intelligence agency have formed a joint task force to analyze the risks to soldiers traveling abroad and are monitoring investigations. These actions followed a Brazilian court’s order in January for police to investigate a former Israeli soldier, who was in Brazil on vacation, for war crimes in Gaza, based on a complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation. However, Israel helped the soldier to flee the country. In a statement, the HRF said Israel orchestrated his departure to obstruct justice, adding that “there are also indications that evidence is being destroyed”.  Israel’s Foreign Ministry also announced that it had helped the former soldier leaving Brazil on a commercial flight, after what it described as “anti-Israel elements” pushed for an investigation.. This case represented the first time a member of the ICC has independently enforced its founding Rome Statute provisions without depending on the court itself to act. “This is a historic moment,” said Dyab Abou Jahjah, the chairman of HRF. “It sets a powerful precedent for nations to take bold action in holding perpetrators of war crimes accountable.” In October 2024, the HRF filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Gaza. It said the complaint is “supported by over 8,000 pieces of verifiable evidence – including videos, audio recordings, forensic reports, and social media documentation – demonstrates the soldiers’ direct involvement in these atrocities.” It noted that soldiers were named and were all “located in Gaza during the genocidal assault, and the evidence reveals their participation in violations of international law.” It added that it provided evidence that they had taken part in the “destruction of civilian infrastructure … Illegal occupation and looting … Participation in the Gaza blockade … Targeting civilians … Use of inhumane warfare tactics,” which are violations under international law. The soldiers named include “high-ranking officers and commanders responsible for planning and executing military operations in Gaza,” individuals with dual citizenship, “including 12 from France, 12 from the United States, 4 from Canada, 3 from the United Kingdom, and 2 from the Netherlands,” and soldiers “who have openly boasted about their war crimes on social media,” it explained. In December, the Israeli military reportedly warned dozens of soldiers against traveling abroad, after some 30 soldiers who served in the Gaza genocide had war crimes complaints filed against them.  Soldiers have been identified from videos and images they posted online that were taken during their service in Gaza. In January, Channel 12 reported that the Foreign Ministry knows of at least 12 cases in which complaints have been filed abroad against Israeli soldiers accusing them of war crimes in Gaza.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66855&slug=hrf-files-complaint-against-israeli-soldier-in-spain-over-genocide-and-war-crimes-in-gaza

{Poll: 82% of Britons Say Israel Should Be Excluded From Eurovision; 69% Support UK Withdrawal if Israel Participates Over Gaza Genocide
If the EBU fails to act, it risks a major split within Europe’s most-watched cultural event. For many broadcasters, the contest is no longer just about music, but about taking a stand on Gaza.
London (QNN)- A new poll has found that eighty-two British people believe Israel should be excluded from Eurovision in 2026 over the genocide in Gaza, and if Israel is allowed to take part, 69 percent believe the UK should withdraw from the contest. Last Thursday, The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) gave Israel the green light to compete. In response, four countries, Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands, announced they will boycott the contest, after having called for Israel's exclusion over the genocide in Gaza and accusations Israel has employed unfair voting practices. The BBC, Britain's public broadcaster, announced it supported the decision to allow Israel to compete. However, a new survey commissioned by Pablo O'Hana, a senior political advisor who has worked for British ministers and in 2024 worked on Kamala Harris' unsuccessful campaign for the US presidency, has shown eighty-two percent of British people believe Israel should be excluded from Eurovision in 2026. And if Israel is permitted to take part, 69 percent believe the UK should withdraw from the contest. Three-quarters of Britons also believe banning Russia from the contest but not Israel is "inconsistent". "Eurovision isn’t just about songs and staging - it’s about values. If Israel is permitted to compete, the people of Britain believe we should walk away," O'Hana said. The EBU excluded Russia from the competition shortly after its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Recent editions of Eurovision have been overshadowed by opposition to Israel’s participation in the contest over its ongoing genocide in Gaza which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians since October 2023. If the EBU fails to act, it risks a major split within Europe’s most-watched cultural event. For many broadcasters, the contest is no longer just about music, but about taking a stand on Gaza. There have been growing calls for the UK government to follow the lead of other countries and boycott Eurovision, amid repeated demands from human rights groups and protesters that Britain end its complicity in the genocide in Gaza. The UK provides vital components of F-35 jets and operates Shadow R1 surveillance flights over the war-torn enclave in coordination with Israeli forces, raising concerns about complicity in war crimes. MP Zarah Sultana, a key figure in the new left-wing Your Party, said, “The UK must follow Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia’s lead and boycott Eurovision. We cannot have “business as usual” with Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.” The Green Party, which had previously backed a ban on Israel's participation, said: "As Israel have been allowed to compete in Eurovision 2026, the UK must follow in the footsteps of Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands and boycott the competition.” "The world's largest live music event cannot be used to whitewash Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza," it added. The UK has also supplied Israel with arms during the course of its assault on Gaza, which has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians and has involved the ethnic cleansing of most Palestinians from their homes. Around 80 percent of buildings and homes have been destroyed. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has deemed that there is a "plausible" case for genocide by Israel in the besieged Palestinian territory. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has also issued arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza.
The UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, criticized the decision to allow Israel to participate in the Eurovision. In a statement, she said: "Genocide continues because it has become normalized, and then, as is the case now (with the decision of European countries to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest due to Israel's participation), the accountability process begins with a European boycott."} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66851&slug=poll-82-of-britons-say-israel-should-be-excluded-from-eurovision-69-support-uk-withdrawal-if-israel-participates-over-gaza-genocide
