[ 📹 Scenes from the Israeli occupation army's bombardment, which began today in the eastern residential neighborhoods of the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, killing 22 Palestinians who were targeted in their homes. 📸 Photos of flyers dropped by the occupation army ordering of over 1.4 million displaced Palestinians, jam packed into Rafah, to migrate to the Khan Yunis and Al-Mawasi areas, which have already been obliterated in the Israeli army's genocide in Gaza.]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

213 DAYS OF GENOCIDE: AIRSTRIKES INTENSIFY KILLING MORE PALESTINIANS; AL-JAZEERA'S OFFICES CLOSED, EQUIPMENT SEIZED; RAFAH OPERATION BEGINS, PALESTINIANS FORCED OUT

On the 213th day of "Israel's" ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces committed a total of 5 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of no less than 52 Palestinians, mostly women and children, while another 90 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to reach countless hundreds, even thousands of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.

This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.

Due to the Israeli occupation's attempts to pressure Qatar to put it's own pressure on the Hamas resistance movement to accept a bad deal, in bad faith negotiations, Al-Jazeera's satellite news network in Palestine was closed on Sunday, its offices raided and equipment seized.

The Israeli occupation's warrant included the confiscation of its broadcasting equipment, the prevention of the broadcasting of Al-Jazeera's reporting, and blocked its websites inside the occupied Palestinian territories.

In a post on the social media platform X, the Israeli occupation's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, wrote "the government headed by me unanimously decided: the incitement channel Al-Jazeera will be closed in Israel."

In statement issued by Al-Jazeera, the news network condemned the closing of its offices in Palestine, describing the actions of the Israeli occupation as a "criminal act", warning that the entity's suppression of a free press "stands in direct contravention of International and humanitarian law."

"Al Jazeera Media Network strongly condemns and denounces this criminal act that violates human rights and the basic right to access of information. Al Jazeera affirms its right to continue to provide news and information to its global audiences," Al-Jazeera's statement reads.

"Israel’s ongoing suppression of the free press, seen as an effort to conceal its actions in the Gaza Strip, stands in contravention of international and humanitarian law. Israel’s direct targeting and killing of journalists, arrests, intimidation and threats will not deter Al Jazeera from its commitment to cover, whilst more than 140 Palestinian journalists have been killed since the beginning of the war on Gaza."

"The Network vehemently rejects the allegations presented by Israeli authorities suggesting professional media standards have been violated. It reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the values embodied by its Code of Ethics,” the Qatari news network added.

In the meantime, a fourth Israeli occupation soldier has died as a result of wounds sustained during a Hamas rocket attack launched from the Rafah area on Sunday, targeting an Israeli occupation military site in Kerem Shalom, in the south of the occupied Palestinian territories.

According to a report published by the Israeli public broadcaster, Channel 12, "Sergeant Michael Rozel, 18 years old from Rishon Lezion, a fighter in the 931st Battalion of the Nahal Brigade, fell yesterday (Sunday) in a barrage to Kerem Shalom."

The other three soldiers who were killed in the strike include:

Sergeant Reuven Mark Mordechai Assolin, 19 years old from Ra'anana, served as a soldier in the Shaked Battalion in the Givati Brigade. Sergeant Ido Testa, 19 years old from Jerusalem, served as a soldier in the Shaked Battalion in the Givati Brigade. Sergeant Tal Shavit, 21 years old from Kfar Giladi, served as a soldier in Battalion 931 in the Nahal Brigade.

In other news, Israeli army radio announced yesterday that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have begun the evacuation of Palestinian civilians from the Rafah area, in the southern Gaza Strip, forcing families living in tent cities to pack up their belongings and leave once again, this time in preparation for the occupation army's invasion of the city of Rafah.

The Israeli army radio said that the occupation forces began evacuating Palestinians from Rafah towards previously erected displacement concentration camps in the Khan Yunis and Al-Mawasi areas.

Both cities have been completely destroyed by previous occupation army operations in the south of Gaza, and little of either city's infrastructure remains. Only Rafah has not been completely obliterated.

According to analysis of satellite imagery, the Israeli occupation army deployed approximately 300 military vehicles near the Rafah border with the occupied Palestinian territories.

Rafah is currently the only home left for more than 1.4 million Palestinians, most of whom have been displaced from other areas in Gaza, where Israeli military operations have turned entire cities into rubble.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces greatly intensified its attacks on Palestinians over the last day, slaughtering entire families and destroying the few homes and buildings that remain standing following 7 months of Israeli bombardment.

On Sunday evening, Israeli occupation warplanes bombed a Palestinian house belonging to the Al-Attar family in the Yabna Refugee Camp, located south of the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of 5 civilians, including a woman and a child, while several others were wounded in the attack.

At the same time, IOF artillery detatchments shelled the southern areas of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, while civil defense personnel in the Gaza Governate recovered the decomposing bodies of five civilians belonging to the Al-Jaabari family, who were killed following the targeting of their home by the Israeli occupation army near the Palestinian stadium in the city.

Additionally, several Palestinians were killed on Sunday evening following the occupation's bombing of the Nuseirat Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

According to local reports, occupation warplanes bombed a room housing displaced civilians in the Al-Jaouni School, belonging to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA), located in the Nuseirat Camp, killing 6 civilians and maiming several others.

The horrors continued into dawn on Monday, with at least 22 Palestinians killed, including 8 children, as a result of the Israeli occupation's targeting of 11 residential homes in Rafah over the last day.

In one example, occupation aircraft bombed a residential house belonging to the Abu Lebda family, in the Al-Geneina neighborhood, east of Rafah City, resulting in the deaths of 4 civilians, including at least two children.

Similarly, occupation forces bombed another home belonging to the Qishta family in the Al-Salam neighborhood, opposite the Haroun Al-Rashid Mosque, east of the city of Rafah, slaughtering 9 civilians, including 4 children, one of whom, Hani Qishta, was born and died during the duration of the war.

The IOF raids went on to bomb a civilian house belonging to the Al-Hashash family in the Oreibo neighborhood, north of Rafah City, while another bombing targeted the home of the Shteiwi family, east of Rafah.

The fighter jets of the Zionist occupation forces continued with their bombing by targeting a residential home belonging to the Ermilat family, in the vicinity of the Al-Tawhid Mosque, in the Al-Salam neighborhood east of Rafah, and also bombed the residential home of the Al-Kawaja family, in the Al-Bilbisi area, also east of Rafah.

Yet another attack occured with the targeting of the Abu Hashem family in the Al-Zuhur neighborhood, north of Rafah, wounding a number of civilians.

A house in the Al-Fokhari neighborhood of Khan Yunis was also bombed and destroyed by the IOF.

Further airstrikes were recorded targeting areas of Khirbet al-Adas, northeast of Rafah, while occupation artillery forces also shelled the eastern neighborhoods of the city of Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, inflicting incredible damage, while also killing and wounding several civilians.

Israeli air forces went on to bombard residential homes in the towns of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun, in the northern axis of the Palestinian enclave.

Israeli aircraft also launched several firebelts targeting the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City.

The carnage went on with several bombardments in central Gaza as well, including a bombing which targeted near the Istiqama Mosque, south of the Maghazi Refugee Camp, martyring one civilian and wounding several others, while occupation fighter jets additionally bombed several homes in the village of Al-Mughraqa, also in central Gaza.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the death toll among the local population has risen to exceed 34'735, including over 14'560 children and 9'582 women, while another 78'108 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

(translation)

24 soldiers in 24 hours

an unfathomable number, like a small classroom in school

but when you look at the names of the fallen and they cities they're from, you understand they weren't one small classroom in one school, they're a collection of the entire Israeli society

a soldier from Beer Sheba and a soldier from Herzeliah and a soldier from Alon Shvut and a soldier from Kiryat Arbah and two soldiers from Tel Aviv and a soldier from Ramat Gan and a soldier from Givatayim and a soldier from Jerusalem and a soldier from Rahat amd a soldier from Heifa and a soldier from Elazar and a soldier from Karnei Shomron and a soldier from Pardes Hanna and a soldier from Rishon Lezion and a soldier from Bnei Dkalim and a soldier from Mavoh Beitar and the list goes on and on

they probably loved each other unconditionally until the last moment

they deserve nothing less than that from us

Let's Discuss... Philippine History: Quezon's Open-Door Policy

The Open-Door Monument in Rishon Lezion, the fourth largest city in Israel. (Picture taken by: ???)

Let's start around the year 1935 where anti-Semitic laws were implemented, making Jews in Germany lose their rights and be vulnerable to discrimination.

Thanks to Quezon and US High Commisioner Paul V. McNutt, they were able to admit Jewish refugees to the Philippines.

It was in 1937 when the Jewish refugees arrived in Manila from the Shanghai Ghetto (which was also called Restricted Sector for Stateless Refugees) with the help of Philip Frieder. Here, along with his brothers (Morris, Herbert, Henry and Alex) learned about the atrocities of Nazi Germany against the refugees, and Jews too.

So, the Frieder brothers approached McNutt, Quezon, Eisenhower, and MacArthur for help (take note, the Philippines was still under American rule, but already ruling as a Commonwealth) and planned to admit approximately 100,000 Jews in the Philippines.

Thus, a policy was born!

On August 21, 1937, then-President Manuel Luis Quezon carried out Proclamation No. 173, or the "Open Door Policy," which urged the Filipinos to welcome refugees and help them. This was not implemented without criticism. Quezon's cabinet members were anti-Semitic, and some are opposition politicians.

The Open-Door Policy became the basis for Commonwealth Act No. 613, the "Philippine Immigration Act of 1940."

Visas were being issued to refugees with the help of McNutt. Eisenhower was planning to settle the refugees in Mindanao. Quezon even use his house, the Marikina Hall, as a place for the refugees.

Around 1937-1941, approximately 1300 Jewish refugees escaped from Nazi Germany to the Philippines, most of them European Jews. They would be called the Manilaners.

If I have to recommend any series for this, there is a documentary series called "The Last Manilaners," also a biopic called "Quezon's Game."
