“I raised my children to love goodness and to do good deeds,” Sobhi said. “We had a principle in our home: do good without expecting thanks or praise. Mohammad [Bahloul] lived by this principle.

“We never expected this to happen – not even in our worst nightmares,” Sobhi added. “They went to save lives, only to become victims themselves.”

Good news: Francesca Albanese's mandate as Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories (on the United Nations Human Rights Council) was automatically renewed (tacitly as they say, for three years); there was no vote.

‘I Want to Be Martyred,’ a #Palestinian Boy Declares

By Nicholas Kristof

[gift article - link can be shared. Expires in 30 days.]

"Without attracting much notice or protest, Israel increasingly is using the tools of war familiar in #Gaza — tanks, airstrikes and massive destruction and displacement — here in the #WestBank. Human rights groups like B’Tselem call this the “Gazafication” of the West Bank."

Published date: 5 April 2025 15:08 BST

"New video evidence relating to the killing of 15 #Palestinian rescue workers by Israeli forces has emerged, contradicting the Israeli account of the attack on a medical convoy in #Rafah last week.

Red Crescent Worker Who Survived Israeli Massacre Recounts Horror

In one of the deadliest attacks on emergency workers in the world in years, #Israeli troops killed 15 #Palestinian first responders and buried them in a mass grave.

"Amid what the United Nations has described as a “concerted policy to destroy #Gaza’s healthcare system,” the #RedCross and #RedCrescent said it was the single deadliest attack on their workers anywhere in the world since 2017. Gaza’s Civil Defense, likewise, called it “one of the most heinous massacres” they have witnessed. "

"Days after the closure began, Abadleh tried to get her hands on heparin injections in public hospitals and private pharmacies but found none. "Everyone told me the medicine wasn’t available,” she said. “I asked them, ‘What should I do now? ...

Abadleh’s condition deteriorated, when she began experiencing abdominal cramps. The next day, she woke up to a sharp pain and feared the worst... Her husband rushed her to a private clinic nearby, but it was too late: she had suffered a miscarriage."

"When the EU pressures other countries, such as South Africa and others in the Global South, to align with its geopolitical priorities (on Ukraine/Russia), while giving itself a pass when convenient (on Israel/Palestine), it grates in other parts of the world and undermines the very case for the “rules-based international order” that the EU purports to defend and exemplify."
