Al Jazeera - Dec 14, 2025 - By Eman Abu Zayed - Palestinian writer from Gaza.
{We now see the ugly face of Gaza’s ‘new normal’
Israel’s genocidal campaign has left behind a reality that our starved bodies cannot survive.
Winter came to Gaza last month with a violent storm. I woke up at night to a disaster. Our tent was flooded with water which had transformed our “floor” into a shallow pool. The mattresses and pillows were completely soaked, cooking pots were submerged, the clothes were drenched, and even our bags— which function as our “closets”—were filled with water. Nothing inside remained dry. As I tried to understand what was happening, I suddenly heard children crying at the entrance of our tent. I opened it quickly and found three children from the neighbouring tents, their lips blue from the cold, with their mother trembling behind them saying, “We are completely soaked… the rain leaked inside and the water reached everywhere.” The same tragic scene was repeated all around us: women, children, and elderly people sitting in the street under the rain, their bedding drenched and their belongings scattered, while confusion and cries filled the air.
All 1.4 million displaced Palestinians who lack proper shelter suffered that day—people with no protection against the weather or its sudden storms. For us, it took two full days for our belongings to dry because the sun barely appeared; everything stayed cold and damp. We didn’t move to another place—we stayed where we were, trying to salvage whatever we could, because there was simply nowhere else to go. Only a week later, an even stronger winter storm arrived with severe rainfall. Tents were flooded again; little children froze in the rain again. This week, when Storm Byron hit, we were flooded once again. Despite all our efforts to reinforce the tents, secure them tightly, and bring in stronger tarps, nothing worked. The winds were fiercer, the rain heavier, and the water pushed its way inside from every direction. The ground no longer absorbed anything. The water began rising rapidly beneath our feet, turning the entire area into a swamp. According to the authorities, the strong winds destroyed at least 27,000 tents. These are 27,000 families who already struggled and now have nothing, no shelter, nowhere to hide from the rain and cold. The rain also brought down damaged homes where people had been sheltering. Every time there is a storm or strong wind, we hear the sound of falling debris and concrete pillars from badly damaged buildings near us. This time, the situation was so bad that 11 people were killed by collapsed buildings. It is clear that after everything we have endured, we – like other displaced Palestinians – cannot survive a third winter in these harsh conditions. We survived two winters in displacement, living in tents that protected neither from cold nor rain, waiting with exhausted patience for a ceasefire that would end our suffering. The ceasefire finally came, but relief did not. We remain in the same place, with bodies drained by malnutrition and illness, under tents worn out by the sun and wind. We are a family of seven living in a tent that is four by four metres (13 feet by 13 feet). Among us are two children aged five and 10 and our grandmother, aged 80. We, the adults, can push through the cold and hardship. But how can the elderly and children bear what we live every day? We sleep on mattresses pressed directly against the ground, with cold seeping in from below and above, with only two blankets that can’t shield us from the freezing nights. Everyone in the tent has two blankets each, barely enough to offer temporary warmth. There is no source of heating—no electricity, no heater—just tired bodies trying to share whatever warmth remains. My grandmother cannot tolerate the cold at all. I watch her shiver through the night, her hand on her chest as if trying to hold herself together. All we can do is pile every blanket we have on top of her and watch anxiously until she is able to fall asleep. Many people in Gaza live in conditions far worse than ours. Most families who just want a modest tent over their heads cannot afford one. The price of tents can go as high as $1,000; the rent one has to pay to pitch a tent on a piece of land can be as much as $500. Those who cannot pay live in the street in makeshift shelters. Salah al-Din Street, for example, is crowded with them. Most are simply blankets hung and wrapped around small spaces for minimal privacy, offering no protection from rain or cold. With any strong gust of wind, they burst open. There are also children living directly in the streets, sleeping on the cold ground. Many have lost their mothers or fathers during the war. When you pass by, you see them—sometimes silent, sometimes crying, sometimes searching for something to eat. Despite repeated promises of aid and reconstruction, the trickle of supplies that entered Gaza has made almost no difference on the ground. Earlier this month, the United Nations announced it had managed to distribute only 300 tents during November; 230,000 families received a single food parcel each. We did not receive any food parcel—there are simply too many people in need, and the quantities are far too small for everyone to access. Even if we had received one, its contents wouldn’t have lasted us longer than a week or two. Food prices continue to be high. Nutritious items like meat and eggs are either unavailable or cost too much. Most families have not eaten a proper protein meal in months. There is no mass campaign to remove rubble or level the ground so people can pitch their tents due to an equipment shortage. No steps have been taken to provide permanent housing for families. All of this means we now face a terrifying possibility: that life in a tent—one that can be flooded or ripped apart by the wind at any moment—may become our long-term reality. This is an unbearable thought. During the bombardment, we lived with the constant fear of death, and perhaps the intensity of the war overshadowed everything else—the cold, the rain, the tents shaking above our heads. But now, after the mass bombing has stopped, we are facing the full ugliness of Gaza’s “new normal”. I fear this winter will be much worse for Gaza. With no heating, no real shelter, and the weather getting worse each day, we are likely to see many deaths among the children, the elderly and the chronically ill. Already, the first deaths from hypothermia were reported – babies Rahaf Abu Jazar  and Taim al-Khawaja and nine-year-old Hadeel al-Masri. If the world is really committed to ending the genocide in Gaza, it needs to take real, urgent action and ensure that we have at least the basic conditions for survival: food, housing and medical care.

{Gaza to Dublin: A journey through war, displacement, hope
'Survival comes with weight,' writes Rawand Alagha in an essay about the pain of leaving Gaza.
Dublin, Ireland – When I was accepted to Trinity College Dublin, I imagined a fresh start, new lectures, late-night study sessions and a campus alive with possibility. The plan was clear: begin my studies in September 2024 and finally step into the future I had worked so hard for. But when September came, the borders of Gaza were shut tight, my neighbourhood was being bombed almost every day, and the dream of university collapsed with the buildings around me. Trinity sent me a deferral letter, and I remember holding it in my hands and feeling torn in two. I didn’t know whether to feel relieved or heartbroken. That letter became a strange symbol of hope, a reminder that maybe, someday, my life could continue. But everything else was falling apart so quickly that it was hard to believe in anything. My family and I were displaced five times as the war intensified. Each time, we left something behind: books, clothes, memories, safety. After the first temporary truce, we went home for a short time. But it no longer felt like the place we had built our lives. The walls were cracked, windows shattered, and floors coated in dust and debris. It felt haunted by what had happened.} Read her story at Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2025/12/14/gaza-to-dublin-a-journey-through-war-displacement-hope


Death in Prison
Quds News - Dec 14, 2025
{Second Palestinian Youth Dies in Israeli Prison Within a Week Amid Torture Reports
26-year-old Sakher Zaoul from Bethlehem died in Israeli custody after being held in administrative detention since July 11, 2025.
Occupied Palestine (QNN)- A 26-year-old Palestinian detainee, arrested months ago in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces, has died in Israeli custody amid reports of torture and medical negligence, marking the second Palestinian death in Israeli prisons in less than a week. The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) confirmed on Sunday that 26-year-old Sakher Zaoul from Bethlehem died in Israeli custody after being held in administrative detention since July 11, 2025. On December 10, the two groups confirmed that anotjer youth from Bethlehem also died in Israeli prisons, a week after announcing the death of three detainees abducted from Gaza during the genocide. The deaths bring the total number of known Palestinians who have died in Israeli custody since October 7, 2023, to 86, including 50 from Gaza, the groups added.  The noted that the period since October 2023 has seen an "unprecedented" rise in the "systematic crimes practised in [Israeli] prisons," making it the "bloodiest in the history of the prisoner movement since 1967".  This brings the total number of Palestinians who have died in Israeli custody since 1967 to 323. However, they noted that the true figure is likely higher, as dozens of detainees abducted from Gaza are subjected to enforced disappearance. This week, Israeli Walla reported that Israel has already murdered 110 Palestinian hostages and detainees under torture inside Israeli detention centers. Walla described the figure as a record high compared with previous decades. The report follows last week’s findings by Israel's Public Defender’s Office, which documented a sharp decline in the health of Palestinian hostages due to harsh incarceration conditions, including severe hunger, overcrowding, poor sanitation, and systematic abuse. According to several Palestinian prisoner-monitoring groups, these conditions have persisted even after the Gaza ceasefire was signed last month. There are currently more than 10,800 Palestinians held in Israeli jails, including 450 children, 87 women, and 3,629 held without charge or trial. The organisations said Palestinian prisoners continue to die in detention due to torture, starvation, medical neglect, sexual assault, and systematic violations of human rights. Testimonies confirm regular beatings by Israeli guards, extreme overcrowding, humiliation, and inadequate hygiene.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66881&slug=second-palestinian-youth-dies-in-israeli-prison-within-a-week-amid-torture-reports

Storm Byron 8 9
Quds News - Dec 13, 2025
{Polar Storm “Byron” Exposes Gaza’s Humanitarian Catastrophe: $4 Million in Initial Losses and Widespread Damage
Polar storm “Byron” devastates Gaza, washing away over 53,000 tents, collapsing homes, and leaving more than 250,000 displaced people at immediate risk. Initial losses hit $4 million, highlighting a deepening humanitarian crisis.
Gaza (QNN)- The storm “Byron,” which swept across Gaza in recent days, has revealed the full scale of the humanitarian crisis in the Strip. The extreme weather compounded the suffering of civilians already living under siege and enduring ongoing Israeli attacks. Civil defense teams reported 11 deaths and are still searching for one missing person. Several buildings previously damaged by Israeli strikes collapsed under the force of the storm, and at least 13 homes were completely destroyed across the territory. The disaster also devastated the shelters of displaced families, according to a statement by the Government Media Office. Over 27,000 tents were either washed away or severely damaged, bringing the total number of partially or completely affected tents to more than 53,000. More than a quarter of a million displaced people faced immediate impacts, out of roughly 1.5 million individuals living in makeshift shelters that offer minimal protection. Initial estimates put direct economic losses at approximately $4 million, affecting multiple sectors, according to the office. Thousands of tents, blankets, mattresses, cooking tools, and temporary shelters were destroyed as displacement centers turned into mud-filled pools. Infrastructure suffered heavily as hundreds of dirt roads and temporary streets were washed away, blocking ambulances and emergency vehicles. Schools and temporary education centers used as shelters were flooded, damaging equipment and disrupting essential services. The storm also caused severe disruption to water and sanitation systems. Temporary water lines failed, contaminating clean water with rain and mud, while emergency sewage pits collapsed, increasing the risk of disease outbreaks. Food and emergency supplies were similarly affected, with stored provisions for thousands of families spoiled and newly distributed aid damaged. Low-lying farmland flooded, seasonal crops were lost, and dozens of small greenhouses were destroyed, cutting off a vital source of income for displaced families. Health services were disrupted as mobile medical points in shelters were damaged, medicines and first aid supplies were lost, and medical teams faced difficulties reaching affected areas. Energy and lighting infrastructure, including batteries, alternative lighting sources, and small solar panels, were also destroyed or washed away. Authorities highlighted that the storm’s impact cannot be separated from Israeli policies that block the entry of 300,000 tents, mobile homes, and caravans. These restrictions prevent the creation of safe shelters and delay the delivery of emergency aid, constituting a violation of international humanitarian law. Civilians, particularly women, children, and the elderly, remain exposed to life-threatening conditions. The government holds Israel fully responsible for the humanitarian disaster and stresses that over 1.5 million displaced Palestinians continue to live in exposed shelters after losing their homes during the ongoing Israeli genocide. Officials are calling on the international community, the United Nations, humanitarian organizations, and donor countries to act immediately. They demand that crossings be opened, emergency shelters, tents, mobile homes, and caravans be delivered, and real protection be provided for displaced populations. Immediate intervention is essential to prevent further collapses and flooding during future storms.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66878&slug=polar-storm-byron-exposes-gazas-humanitarian-catastrophe-4-million-in-initial-losses-and-widespread-damage

{Live Updates: Storm Byron created ‘complex humanitarian catastrophe’ in Gaza: Media Office
Gaza’s Government Media Office has released the following updates from the onset of the storm since yesterday morning:
11 bodies were recovered by civil defence teams, and the search is ongoing for one missing person as a result of the collapse of several buildings previously bombed.
At least 13 houses collapsed across Gaza.
More than 27,000 tents of displaced people were swept away or fully submerged, with more than 53,000 tents in total suffering damage.
More than 250,000 displaced Palestinians were directly affected, of approximately 1.5 million people living in tents and flimsy structures, who were partially affected.
Infrastructure and roads are eroded, disrupting transportation and communication, and creating difficulties for ambulances and civil defence vehicles. Sewage systems are destroyed or damaged.
Remaining agricultural areas were damaged as well, with lands and seasonal crops affected and dozens of primitive greenhouses that provide a livelihood for thousands of displaced families destroyed.
& Children with wounds, deficiencies at heightened risk after storm: MSF
Caroline Seguin, the emergency coordinator in Gaza for Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, says conditions were terrible in the enclave after the rain started getting inside people’s tents. “MSF is very, very worried about the next month with the winter coming and the heavy rain,” said Seguin. She said last year the organisation saw “a huge increase in respiratory infections” for children, as well as diarrhoea. Injured Palestinians living inside the tents will have major difficulties healing their wounds, too, Seguin said, adding that those people will likely see an increase in infections and risks. “Within the last two years of war, we have many people [with amputations] who have wheelchairs. So it’s near to not possible to live in these conditions,” she said. “It’s also very hard for the newborn, knowing that with the last famine we have a lot of children born with low weight, so they are very, very fragile. Begin life in this condition under tents that are floating is very difficult for them and could compromise even their life.”} more incl. israeli propaganda at Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/12/13/live-storm-byron-passes-misery-remains-in-gaza-after-14-killed

{Israel claims to have killed senior Hamas commander, Raed Saad, in Gaza
There was no immediate confirmation from Hamas or from medics that Saad was among the dead.
The Israeli military sats it has killed senior Hamas commander Raed Saad in a strike in Gaza City. The attack on Saturday killed four people and wounded at least 25, according to Gaza health authorities. There was no immediate confirmation from Hamas or from medics that Saad was among the dead. In a post on Telegram, the army alleged that the commander had been operating to re-establish Hamas’s capabilities, which have been severely depleted by more than two years of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. It described him as one of the architects of the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel. If Saad was killed, it would be the highest-profile assassination of a senior Hamas figure since a fragile ceasefire deal came into effect in October. An Israeli defence official told the Reuters news agency that Saad had been targeted in the attack, describing him as the head of Hamas’s weapons manufacturing force. Hamas sources have also described him as the second-in-command of the group’s armed wing, after Izz al-Din al-Haddad. Saad used to head Hamas’s Gaza City battalion, one of the group’s largest and best-equipped, those sources said. The Wafa news agency reported that an Israeli drone hit a vehicle at the Nabulsi junction in the west of Gaza City, resulting in casualties. The agency did not report on specific numbers, and it was not clear if the attack was the one that allegedly killed the Hamas member. Since the ceasefire started in October, Israel has continued to attack Gaza daily – reaching nearly 800 times and killing at least 386 people – in a clear breach of the agreement, according to authorities in Gaza. Israel also continues to block the majority of aid trucks from entering the enclave. The United Nations General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly backed a resolution demanding that Israel open unrestricted humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip, stop attacking UN facilities, and comply with international law, in line with its obligations as an occupying power.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/13/israel-says-it-hit-key-hamas-member-in-gaza-city


Victims of 268 Violations
Quds News - Dec 13, 2025
{Israel Carried Out 268 Violations in Gaza in Ninth Week of Ceasefire Killing 18 Civilians, Report
A new report documents 268 Israeli violations in Gaza in just one week, killing 18 Palestinians, including women and children, and showing that Trump’s ceasefire has failed to stop daily attacks on the Strip.
Gaza (QNN)- Orouba Center for Research and Strategic Thinking released its weekly report on Israeli violations in Gaza. The report covers December 6–12, 2025, and highlights the continuation of large-scale, systematic attacks despite the ceasefire entering its ninth week. During this period, the center documented 268 violations. The attacks killed 18 Palestinians, including women and children, and injured 56 others. The figures indicate Gaza remains under daily aggression, even as tensions were slightly lower than in previous weeks. Data revealed a consistent pattern of repeated assaults. These included artillery shelling, airstrikes, direct gunfire, ground incursions, and large-scale demolition of residential buildings. Most violations targeted eastern and northern Gaza. Gaza City, Khan Younis, and northern Gaza suffered the heaviest toll in terms of deaths, injuries, bombardment, and demolitions.
The report’s ninth-week figures show:
18 killed, including women and children
56 injured
10 ground incursions
43 artillery attacks
24 demolition operations on civilian buildings
41 direct targeting incidents
76 shooting incidents
268 total violations
The center said the daily average reached about 38 violations, showing that Trump’s ceasefire has not translated into a meaningful reduction in Israeli military activity. Airstrikes and shelling hit residential neighborhoods in Gaza City, Khan Younis, Rafah, and Deir al-Balah, causing deaths, injuries, and widespread destruction. Israeli forces advanced in eastern Khan Younis, Deir al-Balah, and Jabalia, bulldozing homes, vandalizing property, and setting up earth mounds. Displaced families inside shelter schools faced continued siege. Demolition operations included the destruction of entire residential blocks and the use of booby-trapped armored vehicles in urban areas. These attacks forced further displacement and targeted civilian homes and tents of displaced families. Jabalia, Bani Suheila, and Mawasi in Rafah experienced the highest impact. The humanitarian situation worsened after a recent winter storm. Hundreds of tents flooded, and several homes partially or fully collapsed. Israeli restrictions blocked the entry of relief and humanitarian aid, increasing the vulnerability of displaced families. Children faced the highest risk. The report also noted ongoing injuries and deaths from unexploded Israeli ordnance scattered across residential and displacement areas. Orouba Center concluded that the ninth week of the ceasefire shows Israel does not treat the agreement as a political or humanitarian commitment. Instead, it uses it to manage gradual aggression, maintain field pressure, and block any real path toward recovery or stability. Civilians remain under constant threat.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66877&slug=israel-carried-out-268-violations-in-gaza-in-ninth-week-of-ceasefire-killing-18-civilians-report

{Israel Violates Trump’s ceasefire Again, Murdering Four Palestinians West of Gaza
Four Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike west of Gaza City as a new report recorded 268 Israeli violations in one week, raising doubts about the reality of the ongoing ceasefire.
Gaza (QNN)- Four Palestinians have been killed and others wounded on Saturday evening in an Israeli army attack west of Gaza City. Israeli warplanes fired at least three missiles at a Palestinian car near Nabulsi Roundabout, southwest of Gaza City. The Israeli army claimed the strike targeted senior Qassam Brigades leader Raed Saad, in yet another violation of the ceasefire. Saad is a prominent commander in the Qassam Brigades in Gaza. The resistance movement has not confirmed the Israeli claim yet. Israel had previously claimed it killed Saad during a raid on Al-Shifa Hospital last year. The attack came as Israeli violations continued across the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire entering its ninth week. The mediators continue to remain silent. Orouba Center for Research and Strategic Thinking released its weekly report on Israeli violations in Gaza. The report covered the period from December 6 to December 12, 2025. The center documented 268 Israeli violations during the week. The violations killed 18 Palestinians, including women and children. Another 56 people suffered injuries. The center said the ninth week of the ceasefire shows a clear pattern; Israel does not treat the agreement as a political or humanitarian commitment. It treats it as a framework to manage gradual aggression. The center said the policy keeps pressure on the ground. It blocks any real path toward recovery or stability in Gaza. As a result, civilians remain under constant threat.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66876&slug=israel-violates-trumps-ceasefire-again-murdering-four-palestinians-west-of-gaza

Al Jazeera - Dec 13, 2025 - By Mais Al-Reem Hussein - Gaza-based writer.
{It is not too late for the world to redeem itself on Gaza
And it can do so by saving its children.
Last month, I was waiting for a shared taxi at the Nuseirat roundabout when I witnessed a heartbreaking scene. As I stood by the side of the road, I felt a small hand tugging at my clothes. I looked down and saw a little girl, no older than eight. She was barefoot, her shirt was torn, and her hair was messy and unwashed. Her eyes were beautiful, and her face showed innocence, yet exhaustion and despair clouded it. She pleaded: “Please, please, give me just one shekel, God bless you.” Before I gave her the money, I decided to speak with her. I knelt down and asked, “What is your name, my dear?” She replied in a frightened voice, “My name is Nour, and I am from the north.” Her name, which means “light” in Arabic, stood in stark contrast to the darkness surrounding her. I asked her, “Why are you asking for money, Nour?” She looked at me hesitantly, then whispered, “I want to buy an apple… I crave one.” In Gaza, a single apple now costs $7; before the war, a kilogramme of apples was less than a dollar. I tried to ignore the pain rising in my chest. I thought about the circumstances we now face, where young children are forced to beg in the street just to buy an apple. I gave Nour one shekel ($0.30), but as soon as I did, the situation worsened. A large group of children, all Nour’s age or younger, gathered around me, repeating the same request. I felt immense distress. For more than two years, we have faced genocide. We have witnessed countless tragedies and horrors. But for me, the sight of children begging in the streets is particularly unbearable. Before the war, Gaza was still a poor place. We used to see child beggars, but they were few, mostly roaming in a few areas. Now, they are everywhere, from the north to the south. The genocidal war has destroyed families and livelihoods across Gaza. The carnage has orphaned more than 39,000 children, and the enormous destruction has deprived more than 80 percent of the workforce of their jobs, driving countless children into extreme poverty and forcing them to beg for survival. But child begging is not just a result of poverty; it is a sign of a deep disintegration affecting the family, the education system, and the community. No parent sends their child to beg because they want to. The war has left many families in Gaza without options, and in many cases, there are no surviving parents to keep the children away from the streets. Child beggars do not just lose their childhood; they also face exploitation, harsh labour, illiteracy and psychological trauma that leaves a lasting effect. The more begging children increase in number, the more the hope for this generation diminishes. Houses can be rebuilt, infrastructure can be restored, but a young generation that is deprived of education and hope for the future cannot be rehabilitated. The strength Gaza possessed before the war was not just about military power; it was about human power, the main pillar of which was education. We had one of the highest levels of literacy in the world. The enrolment rate for primary education stood at 95 percent; for higher education, it reached 44 percent. Education stood as a counterforce to the debilitating siege that dispossessed the people of Gaza and crippled the economy. It nourished skills and ingenuity within the young generations to help them cope with an increasingly harsh economic reality. More importantly, education gave children a sense of direction, security and pride. The systematic attack on Gaza’s education system – the destruction of schools, universities, libraries and the killing of teachers and professors – has pushed what used to be a remarkably resilient and effective educational system to the brink. The pillar that protected children and guaranteed them a clear future is now falling apart. After I left the Nuseirat roundabout, Nour’s eyes stayed with me. It was not just because of the pain of seeing an innocent child being forced to beg. It was also because of the realisation that this encounter brought about: That the capacity of the next generation to rebuild Gaza one day is being taken away. The world allowed Israel to carry out genocide in Gaza for two years. It knew what was going on, and yet it chose complicity and silence. Today, it cannot erase its guilt, but it can choose to redeem itself. It can take all necessary action to save the children of Gaza and to grant them the rights they are inherently given by the Convention on the Rights of Children: The right to food, water, healthcare, a safe environment, education, and protection from violence and abuse. Anything short of that would mean continuing support for the slow genocide of Gaza.

{“Death to Arabs” and “We Will Rape Your Daughters”: Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv Fans Chant Hate and Nazi Songs in Stuttgart
Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans spark outrage in Stuttgart, chanting “Death to Arabs” and “we will rape your daughters” in addition to Nazi chants during Europa League match.
Stuttgart (QNN)- Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv fans sparked outrage during a Europa League match against Stuttgart on Thursday, chanting hateful and violent slogans against Palestinians in additiin to nazi chants. The match ended 4-1 in favor of Stuttgart. Recordings and social media footage show fans singing offensive songs, including calls for violence and sexual assault against Arabs and Palestinians. Some lyrics mocked Gaza’s children, saying: “There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left.” Other chants included graphic threats, including sexualized language and death threats. Fans also repeated provocative slogans such as: “We will drink your blood and rape your daughters” and “You are Arab whores.” The chants echoed a notorious song widely celebrated by Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters. The disturbing behavior occurred in the heart of Stuttgart, raising concerns about racism and anti-Palestinian hatred in European stadiums. Meanwhile, German police launched an investigation into Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters after they gave a Nazi salute the match. Police said they temporarily detained six fans before the match for setting off fireworks. A young supporter is also under investigation for giving a Nazi salute to officers on his way to the stadium. All six received stadium bans. UK authorities previously banned Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending a Europa League match in Birmingham after West Midlands Police rated the fixture as “high risk” following incidents involving the club’s supporters in Amsterdam last year. The Safety Advisory Group cited “violent clashes and hate crime offences” from a 2024 match between Ajax and Maccabi in the Dutch capital as part of its safety assessment.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66875&slug=death-to-arabs-and-we-will-rape-your-daughters-israeli-maccabi-tel-aviv-fans-chant-hate-and-nazi-songs-in-stuttgart

{Freedom Flotilla Coalition Plans Biggest Gaza Sailings in 2026 Amid Worsening Humanitarian Crisis
Freedom Flotilla Coalition to expand 2026 Gaza sailings, calling for urgent global action as blockade and humanitarian crisis deepen.
Dublin (QNN)- The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) announced its largest expansion yet, aiming to double its operations to break Israel’s naval blockade on Gaza in 2026. The announcement came at the coalition’s annual meetings held in Dublin from December 5–8, 2025. Delegates from 18 national campaigns, coalition committees, and international solidarity networks from Europe, North America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand attended. They reviewed the 2025 sailing season and set plans for a broader, more coordinated campaign next year. The coalition said its Dublin meetings occurred amid a harsh humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel continues to violate the ceasefire and restrict essential aid, including tents, blankets, medical supplies, and baby formula. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians face extreme winter conditions. Founded in 2010, the FFC has launched dozens of boats to challenge Israel’s naval blockade on Gaza, including the Madleen, Handala, and Conscience during 2025. The coalition plans an “unprecedented” increase in 2026, with more ships, expanded international partnerships, and synchronized actions across multiple countries. The meetings coincided with UN Security Council Resolution 2803, which the coalition called a dangerous step undermining international law and imposing a new international trusteeship over Gaza. FFC members said the resolution does not protect Palestinian rights or end the blockade. “Resolution 2803 is a moral failure by powerful governments and the UN,” said Huwaida Arraf, FFC Steering Committee member and coordinator of US Boats to Gaza. “When states fail, people must act. This is the time to intensify our struggle, expand our ranks, and turn collective outrage into unstoppable global action.” Bent Erik Krøyer of Ship to Gaza Denmark added: “The Freedom Flotilla will sail in 2026 not as a symbolic gesture but as a bold declaration. Civil society will not watch Gaza be strangled and destroyed. We are preparing more vessels, more international participation, and more coordinated action than ever before.” Two new initiatives joined the coalition in 2025: the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) and Thousand Madleens to Gaza (TMTG). Their participation increased the number of ships sailing this year to historic levels. Plans for 2026 include further expanding fleets, boosting international engagement, and coordinating advocacy with parliaments, unions, and civil society groups worldwide. The coalition concluded its meetings stressing that Gaza “needs global action more than ever.” It said 2026 will feature the broadest campaign in the Freedom Flotilla’s history, combining naval operations, political and media pressure, and global public mobilization.} Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66874&slug=freedom-flotilla-coalition-plans-biggest-gaza-sailings-in-2026-amid-worsening-humanitarian-crisis

{Eurovision winner Nemo returns trophy in protest over Israel’s inclusion
Singer’s statement follows walkout by five countries after organisers cleared Israel to participate in next year’s contest. Swiss Eurovision winner Nemo said they will return their 2024 victory trophy because Israel is being allowed to compete in the pop music competition. The singer, who won the 2024 edition with operatic pop track, The Code, posted a video on Instagram showing them placing the trophy in a box to be sent back to the Geneva headquarters of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). “Eurovision says it stands for unity, for inclusion and dignity for all people,” Nemo said, adding that Israel’s participation amid its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza showed those ideals were at odds with organisers’ decisions. The EBU, which organises Eurovision, cleared Israel last week to take part in next year’s event in Austria, prompting Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, Slovenia and Iceland to announce they would be boycotting the contest. “When entire countries withdraw, it should be clear that something is deeply wrong,” Nemo said on Thursday. On Friday, contest director Martin Green said in a statement sent to The Associated Press that organisers were “saddened that Nemo wishes to return their trophy which they deservedly won in 2024”. “We respect the deeply held views Nemo has expressed and they will always remain a valued part of the Eurovision Song Contest family,” he added. Next year’s Eurovision is scheduled to take place in Austria’s capital, Vienna, after Austrian singer JJ won the 2025 contest in Basel, Switzerland. Traditionally, the winning country hosts the following year. “This is not about individuals or artists. It’s about the fact that the contest was repeatedly used to soften the image of a state accused of severe wrongdoing, all while the EBU insists that this contest is non-political,” said Nemo. “Live what you claim. If the values we celebrate on stage aren’t lived off stage, then even the most beautiful songs become meaningless,” they added. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 70,369 Palestinians, according to the territory’s health authorities. The country’s military has continued to attack the enclave despite a ceasefire with Palestinian group Hamas reached back in October.} Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/12/eurovision-winner-nemo-returns-trophy-in-protest-over-israels
