"The rate of damage being registered is unlike anything we have studied before." The Terrorist, Fascist, War Criminal, Apartheid, the Bastard Child of the United States and the West and the Illegal Regime of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐖 🐗 Isra-hell's Seven-month Bombardment of Gaza has caused more destruction than the controversial firebombing of the German city of Dresden near the end of the Second World War, analysts say.

Doctors in Palestine's Gaza say the majority of surgeries are being performed on children, casualties of “Terrorist, Fascist, Apartheid, Illegal Occupier of the Palestine, Bastard Child of the USA and the West, War Criminal Zionist 🐖 Isra-hell's” unyielding assault on the besieged enclave. However, “Zionist 🐖 Tel Aviv” persists in targeting healthcare facilities, incapacitating them and reducing them to rubble.

Palestinian prisoners are facing the "harshest and cruellest" systematic violations by Israeli prison guards ever recorded, a Palestinian advocacy group has said.

In a report published Tuesday, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) detailed the abuses faced by Palestinians in Israeli jails since 7 October, which have led to the death of at least 16 prisoners, though the actual number is likely higher.

At least 8,430 have been arrested from the occupied West Bank in 200 days since the war started, the report said. The figure does not include thousands of people arrested from Gaza. According to PPS, the Gaza detainees have forcibly disappeared as Israeli authorities refuse to release information about their numbers and whereabouts.

There are currently 9,500 prisoners in Israeli jails, the report said, a figure that does not include Gaza detainees. The Palestinian government media office in Gaza estimates that 5,000 Palestinians have been arrested from the Strip since the Israeli ground invasion began. Of the 9,500 prisoners, 3,660 are held in "administrative detention" for indefinite periods without charge or trial.

An independent review has found that “Terrorist, Fascist, Apartheid, Illegal Occupier of Palestine, War Criminal, Bastard Child of the USA & the West Zionist 🐖 Isra-hell” has yet to provide supporting evidence of its claims that some employees of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees are Hamas members who were involved in the October 7th attacks. “Terrorist, Fascist, Apartheid, Illegal Occupier of Palestine, War Criminal, Bastard Child of the West Zionist 🐖 Isra-hell's” allegations against UNRWA led major donors to cut their funding to the agency - which is the main humanitarian provider in Gaza.

Above Mentioned Countries Are The Incurable Cancerous Scrotums Licker of the “Terrorist, Fascist, Apartheid, Illegal Occupier of The Palestine, War Criminal, Bastard Child of the West Zionist 🐖 Isra-hell.” Hell with All These Boak Bollocks Bastards.

The UK Could Be Complicit in “Terrorist, Fascist, Genocidal, Apartheid, War Criminal and The Illegal Regime of The Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐗’s, Isra-helli” War Crimes Through Its Continued Sale of Arms To The Country, Oxfam Has Warned.

"It is illegal, immoral and inconsistent for the UK to continue to sell arms to Israel, when it is clear that UK-made weapons and components are being used in serious violation of international humanitarian law - and after it imposed restrictions in previous escalations of violence when the scale of death and destruction had been lower," Aleema Shivji, Oxfam's chief impact officer, said on Friday.

"The people of Gaza are facing unprecedented levels of bloodshed, schools and hospitals are being deliberately targeted and starvation is being used as a weapon of war - what more suffering must they endure for the UK government to act?"

"This Criminal Occupation By ‘The Terrorist, Fascist, Genocidal, Apartheid, War Criminal Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐗 Illegal Regime of Isra-hell’ Doesn’t Care About International Laws or Humanity, It Only Cares About Killing The Palestinian People."

Palestinians are recovering the bodies of those killed by Israel's two-week raid on al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, but identification is proving difficult because of the state of decomposition.

After Israeli forces withdrew from the hospital on April 1, 2024, teams from several government ministries have been deployed to al-Shifa to remove and identify bodies before burying them in cemeteries.

"We are now digging up all the martyrs that were executed by the [Israeli] army," Hussein Mahassen, ambulance director in the Gaza Strip, told Middle East Eye. "Our capacities are very limited, as we are working with just one bulldozer."

While it is unclear how many bodies have been buried in the hospital's yard, the Civil Defence said that they have recovered 409 bodies from the medical complex since the withdrawal of Israeli forces. Mahassen said his team expects to find between 200 and 300 bodies buried in the ground in al-Shifa, but cannot confirm this number.

Reports emerging from the hospital and its vicinity following the Israeli army's raid spoke of torture against detained Palestinians, with medical teams in al-Shifa currently documenting these cases.

"There are signs of torture on some of the arms and bodies we pulled out," Mahassen said. Medical and forensic teams said that their mission is particularly difficult because of the state of the remains.

Amira al-Safadi, a doctor at al-Shifa, said that some of the bodies were initially left to rot among people who were besieged in the hospital for days, before Israeli forces allowed them to buried.

Safadi herself was forced to stay in the hospital's reception with a group of people for two weeks. "Among the wounded that they brought down from the ICU to us, at the reception, around 16 died," she told MEE. "They laid dead with us for three days."

“Terrorist, Fascist, Genocidal, War Criminal, Occupier, Apartheid and Illegal Regime of Isra-hell” Continues to Attack Palestine's Gaza Both with Air Strikes and Troops on the Ground Despite a UN Security Council Resolution Passed on March 25 Demanding an "Immediate Ceasefire".

At least 157 Palestinians were killed and 112 wounded over the last 24 hours, Gaza's health ministry reports.

• At least 15 people die in an Israeli strike on a sports centre in Gaza City, while injuries were reported in the bombing of Saad bin Abi Waqqas Mosque in the Jabalia refugee camp.

• Caroline Gennez, Belgium's minister of development cooperation and urban policy, says international pressure must be maintained on Israel, and it "must stop starving civilians and children."

• At least 32,623 Palestinians have been killed and 75,092 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas's October 7 attack stands at 1,139 with dozens still held captive.

The War Crimes of the Illegal Regime of The Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐗, The Isra-hell!

The Terrorist, Fascist, War Criminal, Apartheid and Genocidal Isra-helli Army confirms that it has withdrawn from Al-Shifa Hospital and its vicinity in Gaza City, ending a two-week-long siege on the medical complex in which they claim to have killed and detained hundreds of Palestinian gunmen and seized weaponry and intelligence documents.

The army claims it conducted its raid without harming civilians and medical personnel, but the World Health Organization (WHO) says that at least 21 patients were killed during the siege which began on 18 March

Gaza's civil defence said that around 300 people were killed during the raid

The medical complex is the largest hospital in all of Palestine

Reporting from the hospital, Al Jazeera Arabic's correspondent said that all buildings in the complex have been burned, with people trying to take whatever remains from regular items to essential supplies.

The channel also quoted medical sources saying that "hundreds" of bodies are lying inside the complex and in the streets surrounding it

“If This Is Not A Genocide Then Hitler Wasn’t Genocider Either!”

Hundreds of workers have blocked the entrances to the UK's Department of Business and Trade (DBT) in protest against Britain's arms sales to “The Terrorist, Fascist, Apartheid, War Cry, The Illegal Regime of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐖 🐗 Isra-hell.”

DBT oversees arms export licences and has the power to approve or deny the sale of British arms to other countries.

Activists said they shut down access to DBT in support of civil servants who requested to "cease work immediately" on arms export licences to Israel over fears they could be complicit in war crimes in Gaza.

The protest outside DBT is also part of an organised blockade against arms factories across the UK to pressure the government to end its support for “The Terrorist, Fascist, Apartheid, War Criminal, The Illegal Regime of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐖 🐗 Isra-hell.”

Google, The Scrotums Licker of The Zionist Cunts, Won’t Say Anything About “Terrorist, Fascist, Genocidal, Apartheid, War Criminal Zionist 🐖 Isra-hell” Using Its Photo Software To Create Gaza “Hit List”

Google Prohibits using its Tech for “Immediate Harm,” But ‘Terrorist, Fascist, Genocidal, Apartheid, War Criminal Zionist 🐖 Isra-hell’ is Harnessing its Facial Recognition to Set-up a Dragnet of Palestinians.

The Terrorist, Fascist, Genocidal, Apartheid, War Criminal Zionist 🐖 Isra-helli Military has reportedly implemented a facial recognition dragnet across the Gaza Strip, scanning ordinary Palestinians as they move throughout the ravaged territory, attempting to flee the ongoing bombardment and seeking sustenance for their families.

The program relies on two different facial recognition tools, according to the New York Times: one made by the Terrorist, Fascist, Genocidal, Apartheid, War Criminal Zionist 🐖 Isra-helli contractor Corsight, and the other built into the popular consumer image organization platform offered through Google Photos. An anonymous Israeli official told the Times that Google Photos worked better than any of the alternative facial recognition tech, helping the Terrorist, Fascist, Genocidal, Apartheid, War Criminal Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐗 Isra-hellis make a “hit list” of alleged Hamas fighters who participated in the October 7 attack.

The mass surveillance of Palestinian faces resulting from Israel’s efforts to identify Hamas members has caught up thousands of Gaza residents since the October 7 attack. Many of those arrested or imprisoned, often with little or no evidence, later said they had been brutally interrogated or tortured. In its facial recognition story, the Times pointed to Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha, whose arrest and beating at the hands of the Israeli military began with its use of facial recognition. Abu Toha, later released without being charged with any crime, told the paper that Israeli soldiers told him his facial recognition-enabled arrest had been a “mistake.”

Putting aside questions of accuracy — facial recognition systems are notorious less accurate on nonwhite faces — the use of Google Photos’s machine learning-powered analysis features to place civilians under military scrutiny, or worse, is at odds with the company’s clearly stated rules. Under the header “Dangerous and Illegal Activities,” Google warns that Google Photos cannot be used “to promote activities, goods, services, or information that cause serious and immediate harm to people.”

“Facial Recognition Surveillance of This Type Undermines Rights Enshrined in International Human Rights Law.”

Asked how a prohibition against using Google Photos to harm people was compatible with the Israel military’s use of Google Photos to create a “hit list,” company spokesperson Joshua Cruz declined to answer, stating only that “Google Photos is a free product which is widely available to the public that helps you organize photos by grouping similar faces, so you can label people to easily find old photos. It does not provide identities for unknown people in photographs.” (Cruz did not respond to repeated subsequent attempts to clarify Google’s position.)

It’s unclear how such prohibitions — or the company’s long-standing public commitments to human rights — are being applied to Israel’s military.

“It depends how Google interprets ‘serious and immediate harm’ and ‘illegal activity,’ but facial recognition surveillance of this type undermines rights enshrined in international human rights law — privacy, non-discrimination, expression, assembly rights, and more,” said Anna Bacciarelli, the associate tech director at Human Rights Watch. “Given the context in which this technology is being used by Israeli forces, amid widespread, ongoing, and systematic denial of the human rights of people in Gaza, I would hope that Google would take appropriate action.”

Doing Good or Doing Google?

In addition to its terms of service ban against using Google Photos to cause harm to people, the company has for many years claimed to embrace various global human rights standards.

“Since Google’s founding, we’ve believed in harnessing the power of technology to advance human rights,” wrote Alexandria Walden, the company’s global head of human rights, in a 2022 blog post. “That’s why our products, business operations, and decision-making around emerging technologies are all informed by our Human Rights Program and deep commitment to increase access to information and create new opportunities for people around the world.”

This deep commitment includes, according to the company, upholding the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — which forbids torture — and the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which notes that conflicts over territory produce some of the worst rights abuses.

The Israeli military’s use of a free, publicly available Google product like Photos raises questions about these corporate human rights commitments, and the extent to which the company is willing to actually act upon them. Google says that it endorses and subscribes to the U.N. Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, a framework that calls on corporations to “to prevent or mitigate adverse human rights impacts that are directly linked to their operations, products or services by their business relationships, even if they have not contributed to those impacts.”

Walden also said Google supports the Conflict-Sensitive Human Rights Due Diligence for ICT Companies, a voluntary framework that helps tech companies avoid the misuse of their products and services in war zones. Among the document’s many recommendations are for companies like Google to consider “Use of products and services for government surveillance in violation of international human rights law norms causing immediate privacy and bodily security impacts (i.e., to locate, arrest, and imprison someone).” (Neither JustPeace Labs nor Business for Social Responsibility, which co-authored the due-diligence framework, replied to a request for comment.)

“Google and Corsight both have a responsibility to ensure that their products and services do not cause or contribute to human rights abuses,” said Bacciarelli. “I’d expect Google to take immediate action to end the use of Google Photos in this system, based on this news.”

Google employees taking part in the No Tech for Apartheid campaign, a worker-led protest movement against Project Nimbus, called their employer to prevent the Israeli military from using Photos’s facial recognition to prosecute the war in Gaza.

“That the Israeli military is even weaponizing consumer technology like Google Photos, using the included facial recognition to identify Palestinians as part of their surveillance apparatus, indicates that the Israeli military will use any technology made available to them — unless Google takes steps to ensure their products don’t contribute to ethnic cleansing, occupation, and genocide,” the group said in a statement shared with The Intercept. “As Google workers, we demand that the company drop Project Nimbus immediately, and cease all activity that supports the Israeli government and military’s genocidal agenda to decimate Gaza.”

Project Nimbus

This would not be the first time Google’s purported human rights principles contradict its business practices — even just in Israel. Since 2021, Google has sold the Israeli military advanced cloud computing and machine learning-tools through its controversial “Project Nimbus” contract.

Unlike Google Photos, a free consumer product available to anyone, Project Nimbus is a bespoke software project tailored to the needs of the Israeli state. Both Nimbus and Google Photos’s face-matching prowess, however, are products of the company’s immense machine-learning resources.

The sale of these sophisticated tools to a government so regularly accused of committing human rights abuses and war crimes stands in opposition to Google’s AI Principles. The guidelines forbid AI uses that are likely to cause “harm,” including any application “whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights.”

Google has previously suggested its “principles” are in fact far narrower than they appear, applying only to “custom AI work” and not the general use of its products by third parties. “It means that our technology can be used fairly broadly by the military,” a company spokesperson told Defense One in 2022.

How, or if, Google ever turns its executive-blogged assurances into real-world consequences remains unclear. Ariel Koren, a former Google employee who said she was forced out of her job in 2022 after protesting Project Nimbus, placed Google’s silence on the Photos issue in a broader pattern of avoiding responsibility for how its technology is used.

“It is an understatement to say that aiding and abetting a genocide constitutes a violation of Google’s AI principles and terms of service,” Koren, now an organizer with No Tech for Apartheid, told The Intercept. “Even in the absence of public comment, Google’s actions have made it clear that the company’s public AI ethics principles hold no bearing or weight in Google Cloud’s business decisions, and that even complicity in genocide is not a barrier to the company’s ruthless pursuit of profit at any cost.”
