: Israeli soldiers deliberately fire at Palestinians seeking aid at distribution sites, Haaretz investigation reveals
An investigation by #Haaretz reveals that Israeli soldiers have deliberately fired at Palestinians near aid distribution sites in Gaza over the past month, with commanders ordering troops to shoot at crowds to disperse them despite posing no threat. According to official numbers published by the Gaza's Health Ministry, 549 people have been killed and over 4,000 wounded near aid centers since May 27.
Soldiers described the situation as a "killing field" and "total breakdown" of military ethical codes, with one calling it "Operation Salted Fish" - firing live ammunition, mortars, and grenades at hungry civilians waiting for food.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation operates four distribution centers that open for just one hour daily. Soldiers report firing at people who arrive early or remain after closing, with no return fire documented. Private contractors receive payment for each house demolished, bringing forces closer to aid distribution points and creating additional shooting incidents.
While the Military Advocate General has ordered investigations into suspected war crimes at aid sites, human rights organizations including Amnesty International have criticized Israel's military justice system for lacking independence and impartiality. Investigations typically focus on individual soldiers rather than examining broader military policies or command decisions, with limited transparency and many cases closed without prosecution or disciplinary action.
Israeli soldiers nicknamed their activity around Gaza aid distribution sites [death traps] "Operation Salted Fish" after the Israeli version of the children's game "Red light, green light." Like in the children's game where players must stop moving when "red light" is called, Palestinians approaching food distribution sites face live fire when they're not supposed to be there, and can only approach safely when the "green light" is given (when the distribution center opens). The soldiers are essentially treating starving civilians seeking food like players in a deadly version of a children's game - shoot to stop them from moving forward, then allow them to approach only during the designated hour when distribution occurs.
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present.
I mean, the sane among us already knew they were doing that, but I'm glad there's more organised investigation happening as well (and by an Israeli publication at that) 😛
It's like a mini Jallianwala Bagh every day but the leaders of most white countries evidently think that's perfectly okay 🙄
@badrihippo Unfortunately, it’s also not Israel’s first massacre; they’re not even trying to hide their glee as they watch the slaughter. I remember how much pushback there was about Deir Yassin and Tantura, even recently. You weren’t even allowed to question the purity of arms of pre-state militias, and then Kefar Qassem… and on and on. No one wanted to hear this then, and even less now. As someone posted today, why isn’t the #NYT, BBC, etc. publishing what appears on Haaretz regularly? There’s so much documented by Israeli researchers and investigators that it’s overwhelmingly clear.
Gaza is the place where resistance has never ceased, not for a single moment. This fact alone is sufficient to establish Gaza as the most critical and undeniable component in the entire intricate history of the so-called conflict.
In his message following the end of Israeli aggression against Iran and a unilateral declaration of a ceasefire by the regime, Ayatollah Khamenei congratulates the Iranian nation on the victory.

This is #Israel / Racism & coercion: on the Depo-Provera Issue and the Ethiopian community (research)
I’ve seen this issue discussed here recently. Here’s some context about an historical and ongoing overreach of the state and medical authorities in controlling the fertility of Ethiopian immigrant women, in this case the forced (or “strongly encouraged”) use of the Depo-Provera contraceptive injection, extracted for a recent research paper.
The issue dates back to the 1990s and continues to the present day. Ethiopian immigrants, who often faced discrimination and were perceived as having higher birth rates, were disproportionately targeted by state-sponsored programs aimed at limiting their family size.
The Depo-Provera injection, a long-acting reversible contraceptive, was frequently administered to Ethiopian women, often without full informed consent or consideration of their individual needs and desires. This practice was sometimes carried out in the context of family planning programs in absorption centers for new immigrants.
The Israeli government and medical authorities played a role in perpetuating this issue. While some officials initially denied or downplayed the extent of the problem, investigations and reports revealed a pattern of coercive practices.
The issue is deeply rooted in racism and discrimination against Ethiopian immigrants, who were often viewed as a "problem", requiring state intervention to control their population growth. This reflects broader societal biases and stereotypes which is not limited to the Ethiopian community, if we limit the discussion to Jewish immigrants.
The researcher, Chedva Eyal, states that despite some changes in policy, concerns remain about the potential for continued overreach and a lack of respect for the reproductive rights of Ethiopian women.
Testimonial from the paper:
[…] For example, the testimony of Shula, who arrived at a Kupat Holim (healthcare clinic) branch in central Israel after giving birth to her son. The nurse insisted she take Depo-Provera, even though Shula did not request contraception and even emphasized that she did not have a partner. Shula, stunned by the intensity of the pressure, decided to go to another clinic to avoid taking contraception she had not asked for at all. The visitor might also have heard the testimony of an Ethiopian woman who refused to take Depo-Provera and was insulted with "retard, foolish," and because of her three pregnancies, she was offered an abortion. The racist and humiliating treatment, along with cases of a lack of medical care infrastructure, indicate a difficult and complex reality that is not reflected in the visitor's inquiry.
The article presents a retrospective account of the Depo-Provera (contraceptive injection) provision scandal to women from the #Ethiopian community in Israel, which was administered broadly with the aim of reducing fertility. The article follows the social and institutional processes since the scandal was revealed in 2008 and examines the State Comptroller's inquiry in 2015. This is a multi-site #ethnographic study that combines interviews, data processing, analysis of the State Comptroller's inquiry and Knesset debate protocols, and spans the years 2023–2008. During the research, I was exposed to many cases of Depo-Provera being administered without consent, and I witnessed the public discourse and processes that occurred in the wake of the scandal's exposure.
#Israel just slaughtered 100s more innocents in #Gaza. Here are some of their names and stories
The numbers are horrific but they are not mere numbers With the world ‘mainstream’ media’s eyes diverted to Iran & never too interested in reporting Israel’s crimes in Gaza anyway – Israel has continued to accelerate its slaughter & starvation of the Palestinian people of Gaza. 100s have been murdered in just the last couple of days, bombed & shot.

On March 26, 2010 Nancy Schaefer and her husband Bruce were found dead in their Habersham County home. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation ruled the deaths a murder-suicide, asserting Bruce shot Nancy in the back while she slept and then turned the gun on himself, leaving a suicide note and no signs of forced entry and closed the case rapidly \[1].
Nancy Schaefer had been removed from the Georgia State Senate in 2008 but continued as an outspoken critic of child protective services, publishing in 2007 “Investigation of Child Protective Services,” which alleged Title IV-E funding incentives drove unwarranted child removals, financial fraud, and trafficking in concert with foster and adoption agencies \[2].
At the death scene GBI reported Nancy had a single gunshot wound to the back and Bruce a self-inflicted chest wound; towels near the handgun and no forced entry were cited as consistent with murder-suicide, yet no independent forensic audit, ballistics reconstruction, blood spatter or gunshot residue analysis has ever been released \[1].
Family members and close associates unanimously rejected the official narrative. Nancy exhibited no suicidal ideation, was in good health, planning international speaking engagements and a documentary release, and Bruce showed no history of depression, financial distress, or violence; both were described as supportive, stable, and focused on activism \[3].
Prior to her death Nancy publicly reported receiving threats linked to her investigations of CPS and alleged involvement in exposing international child trafficking networks; her collected documentation and documentary materials vanished after the deaths, and FOIA requests for related records were met with redaction or denial \[4].
Major media outlets offered minimal coverage, no Congressional inquiry or independent autopsy was conducted, and federal agencies showed no interest in her documented civil rights and RICO-related allegations against CPS and state actors, despite her presentations before conservative organizations and United Nations forums \[5].
Independent investigators and family‐designated experts were denied access to autopsy materials, crime scene evidence, and sealed court documents; whistleblower accounts within Georgia’s legal system claim her work threatened sealed federal interests, yet these assertions remain unverified due to restricted records \[6].
Nancy Schaefer’s death aligns with a pattern of unexplained fatalities among CPS whistleblowers and reform advocates, including Monica Petersen and Senator Linda Collins-Smith, characterized by abrupt official rulings of suicide or accident, rapid case closures, and absence of thorough forensic review \[7].

Trump Spends $1M On Attack Ads Smearing Thomas Massie as Pro-Child Genital Mutilation Terrorist
AIPAC is recruiting a challenger to take on Thomas Massie and President Trump is already spending $1 million of his donors' money on smearing the America First congressman as a terrorist who wants to mutilate children's genitals.
Cases like Gabriel Fernandez and Adrian Jones highlight horrific abuse in state custody but are treated as rare exceptions. Meanwhile, systemic issues—especially mass spying via data collection used for racially and politically biased child removals, financial incentives, and the harmful outcomes—go largely ignored.
Risk assessment tools from firms like Palantir and Microsoft analyze data such as income, criminal records, CPS history, mental health, school attendance, social media, and neighborhood poverty and racial makeup. These biased algorithms disproportionately target families upholding traditional values or rejecting dominant ideologies, subjecting them to surveillance and separation. This model is exported globally via UNICEF, WHO, and philanthropic groups. The UN's number 1 stated goal is to end poverty; apparently by ending poor famalies.
The majority of removals (75%) are not for abuse, but a percieved risk of “neglect”. Even when the child was in no danger, and better off with family. (ACF, Child Maltreatment 2022). Reunification rates remain below 50%, with many parents permanently losing custody despite no criminal convictions (Children’s Bureau Annual Report, 2022).
These removals destroy family bonds, and cause irreversible damage to children. Outcomes in foster care are catastrophically worse than remaining with their families, marked by high rates of malnutrition, abuse, medical neglect, psychotropic overmedication, disappearances, and deaths—many concealed or misclassified. Sexual exploitation, trafficking, and organ harvesting disproportionately victimize foster youth, making the system a documented human trafficking conduit under the guise of protection.
National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) reports from 2021 indicate foster children experience mortality rates 20 times higher than age-matched peers, with deaths attributed to neglect, abuse, untreated medical conditions, and suicide. Investigative journalism from The Guardian and ProPublica revealed widespread physical and sexual abuse in foster care and group homes, forced medication, malnutrition, and neglect. The GAO (2019) documented that 61% of foster children received psychotropic medications, often prescribed off-label without FDA approval or adequate psychiatric oversight. DOJ statistics estimate roughly 20,000 foster children run away or go missing annually, many trafficked or exploited, but reporting systems are inconsistent and undercount disappearances (DOJ Child Exploitation Report, 2020). These abuses amount to racial and class genocide disguised as protection.
Media silence stems from conflicts of interest tied to government funding and corporate advertising, sustaining the false narrative that removal is always protective.
This media blackout is part of a global psychological operation controlled by political actors, corporate contractors, and intelligence-linked firms. By focusing on isolated cases, they hide a coordinated system enforcing racial and class genocide through family destruction. Without real investigative journalism, this silent genocide continues behind closed doors.

Open Society Publications Peter Thiel’s assertion that democracy inevitably subordinates freedom collapses once automation profits and import duties are taxed progressively, channeling AI‑driven surpluses into public goods rather than oligarchic coffers. This policy directly undermines his escape‑hatch logic by ensuring that technological dividends serve collective well‑being instead of private enrichment. By reclaiming a fair share of automation rents, it nullifies Thiel’s premise that extending fiscal democracy corrodes capitalist liberty. Nuclear powered robotic factories can produce enough surplus to provide a UBI for every citizen.
His vision of detached technocrats ruling unaccountable AI platforms is shattered by community‑led ownership of factories and data infrastructures. Democratic cooperatives and municipally governed enterprises prevent secretive acquisitions and algorithmic governance, embedding production within elected structures and subjecting all automated decision‑making to public review.
Thiel’s model of surveillance‑driven distribution is refuted by a uniform, non‑targeted UBI that guarantees equal economic footing without elite gatekeepers. Removing means tests and opaque criteria restores the principle that support is an unconditional right, not a privilege granted by an unelected few.
Finally, Thiel’s call to “find an escape from politics in all its forms” is countered by embedding these reforms within a transparent, consent‑based government fortified by robust protections for speech, press and information flows, real‑time disclosure of political expenditures, and citizen‑initiated referendum and recall mechanisms obliterates the claim that democracy stifles innovation. True liberty and technological progress flourish only when economic power is as decentralized and contestable as political authority.
