  SPEAKER_03: Who are these people?
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_02: But I did have a more relevant video about surviving genocide and a year of ceasefire.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_02: And that would be B-San.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_02: Bisan Oda reflects on three years of genocide in Gaza,
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_02: a life lost forever, and her unending work to tell the truth.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_02: Again, I'm going to get to the Mamdani stuff later.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm not ignoring this journalist.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_02: It's very important what he has to say.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_02: It just doesn't fit with what I want to talk about yet.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to come back to it.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_02: Let's watch what Bisan has to say.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_02: This is about four minutes long.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: Hi, this is Bisan.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: And after three years...
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: When I think about the genocide, I immediately think about time distortion.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: How time is not the same for Palestinians in Gaza and for the entire world.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: We are stuck in 2023.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: I feel we're still there,
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: but at the same time anything happened before 2023 or before October 2023 is in
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: the past,
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: a place that we can't go, a person that we can't see, a life that has gone forever.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: So we are both.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: We're stuck there.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: So anything happened around there must be new.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: But at the same time, everything happened before 2023.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's something like a dream that we struggle to wake up from.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Something that we can never restore.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's if Gazans are stuck and the entire world is moving forward.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: But even for this,
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: maybe the most horrific thing that happened to Palestinians is that,
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: the Palestinians in Gaza particularly,
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: is that they were deprived from the basic human right.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: They were deprived from the right to grieve, to feel sad.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because we have millions of losses, millions of losses.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: Each one of us at least lost one thing and yet to lose.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, greater losses are by the corner, staring at us, waiting for us.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: So we don't even have the time to grieve and the world,
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: this genocide is bigger than the world, not only us.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: So the world faces huge struggle to comprehend all of this together.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I spend my day only to be able to deal with this feeling of Helplessness
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: and loss,
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: I spend my day trying to push,
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: trying to help my people,
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: trying to write,
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: to direct or make some pieces,
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: some social media videos and even some films so I can help the true narration And
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: the voices of the people who may lost the places,
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: the voices of all of these things together to reach out to the world.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: I really want the truth to reach out.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: I want nothing but the truth.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: Owning this truth is so powerful.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: I don't need anything except the truth.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: No lies, no scenarios, no fake things, no fake news, nothing but the truth.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: Truth is enough to give us back our rights, our land, everything to rebuild our Gaza.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: So I feel that this is how I'm dealing with it.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: This is how I'm working to stop the genocide.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yet despite all of this,
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: I don't find running away,
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: ceasing to try or basically surrendering as an option
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: because what is happening is far beyond me.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about me as an individual.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's the right of an entire people.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's the price of a land, not a bag of candy.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: So all what I can do is gather my strength and fight for my people's liberation.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: And this is my message in the third anniversary of the ongoing genocide.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_00: We need all to use our strength to liberate our peoples.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: She's a remarkable human being, let me tell you.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: I marvel at the strength.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: I really do.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_02: I get, like, what else are you going to do?
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_02: But still, yes, thank you, the auspicious.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_02: She is an incredible woman.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: And amen is right.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: Sword.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: Seven sword.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, what do you say to that?
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: You know, look at some of the sites and some of the stuff she has to deal with on a daily basis.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: We can't even, you know, comprehend what that's like to have to deal with.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_02: And the fact that it's inflicted by our government,
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: our tax dollars, quote unquote, is disgraceful, seriously.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's heartbreaking to hear all that.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_02: So moving on.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, this is from the New Arab.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, let's close this and close this.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: My mouse is acting funny.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: It's not scrolling right.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_02: Let's try this one.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_02: This one, another one that almost broke me.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: Gaza's newborns are fighting for survival in a healthcare system on
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_02: the brink three years into Israel's genocide.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: Again, You know, look,
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_02: it was three years from October 8th,
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_02: which is the day that they started actually dropping bombs on Gaza.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: And that's when the genocide really started.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_02: And our last show was on the 6th.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_02: So really, we haven't done a show since.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_02: And I wanted to do a couple of things about this, and we know this is forced and intentional.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: Overcrowded neonatal wards,
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_02: scarce medicines,
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: broken equipment,
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: are putting Gaza's premature babies at greater risk as its health system struggles
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_02: to recover, which again is fully intentional by the Israelis.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_02: Make no mistake about it, and they are proud to
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_03: brag about it.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_03: All right, so let's go here.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: Mustafa Al-Laham watches anxiously over his newborn son, Hassan,
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_02: who lies in an incubator he shares with another baby in the neonatal unit
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: of Nasser Medical Complex in Kanyunas, southern Gaza.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_02: Doctors have kept him there because he's struggling to breathe.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_02: A 42-year-old follows the nurse as he checks the machines keeping Hassan alive,
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: watching for any sign that the medicines are working.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_02: But what worries him most is the crowded ward around them and
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: the stranger lying beside his son.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: He tried to find in vain to find an incubator of his own.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: There are none, he was told.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_02: And he's luckier than others.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: The incubator next to his sons holds three babies, not two.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_01: Fuck Israel.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: They're having to double up and triple up babies in incubators
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: that they're not designed for that.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: Mustafa fears Hassan could catch an
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_02: infection from the babies pressed against him.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: It's happened before in his family, he says.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: A relative's newborn's health deteriorated not from the illness that brought him to
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_02: the hospital, but from an infection passed on by another baby in the same incubator.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: I can't even imagine as a parent of a newborn having to deal with this.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_02: As a father of five other children,
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: the eldest 16 and the youngest five,
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_02: Mustafa has been,
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: of course,
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_02: out of work since the genocide began three years ago,
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: and Israeli forces destroyed his home in southern Kanyunas.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_02: So what have they been doing?
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_02: He struggles to provide for his family,
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_02: particularly his wife, who needed a C-section to deliver Hassan.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_02: Hassan has dangerously high levels of acid in his blood,
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: which is a condition that threatens his life.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_02: Doctors told Mustafa that the tests and medicines he needs are not available in Gaza.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: They exist in the occupied West Bank and neighboring countries,
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: but medical evacuations out of Gaza are limited to a handful each day
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: under Israeli procedures and their supposed permission,
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_02: which is unreal that they even have the right to decide whether a baby can come in
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_02: or out at this point.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_02: Why doesn't somebody just shove them aside and be like, hey, fuck no.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: The only guarantee my son will survive is if the medicine is available here.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: That is impossible.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: Or if he's urgently transferred to treatment outside, and that is impossible either.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: That means a death sentence for my baby.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: Mustafa continues,
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_02: Ever since my wife has become pregnant, I've been afraid for her and the baby.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: Every Gazan or every Palestinian in Gazan knows we are facing a health system
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_02: that has collapsed and can't provide even the minimum care because
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_02: the occupation blocks what it needs from coming in.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_02: As we've covered multiple fucking times.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: This is the incubator.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: Worst of the worst.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: The overcrowded neonatal unit reflects crises that medical staff say never seem to end.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: Again, inflicted intentionally by Israel, and they would be proud
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: to hear this.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck Israel.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_02: Shireen Nofal,
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_02: the unit's nursing supervisor, the staff struggled to obtain most of what they need.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_02: Again, Israel would be happy to hear this because they've been denying all of
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_02: the necessary
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: medical aid and medicine and surgical supplies and anesthesia
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_02: and everything that they would need to properly staff a neonatal unit and equip it.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_02: They're forced to ration some medicines and lab tests
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_02: and sometimes use less effective alternatives.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: Which is all intentionally hurting babies.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks, Israel, for that.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: Fuck you.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: Shireen,
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: who's worked in the unit for 20 years,
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: thankfully, describes the current situation as the worst
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_02: she's seen, naturally.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: The past six months have been the worst of the worst, she shares with the new Arab.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: We've lost so many of the things that are the backbone of our work and
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: that threatens the lives of premature babies.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_02: We're at the peak of crisis now.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_03: What were they at six months ago?
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_03: Holy crap.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: The unit has 20 incubators but cares for between 55 and 60 babies.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_01: An occupancy rate of 200 to 300%.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_01: Babies who once stayed a few hours a day or two now stay for more than a month,
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: she says,
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: because their condition and their mother's health before them is so much worse.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: It exacerbates the problem and causes them to need even more care.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: Again, intended by Israel,
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: because what they want is to tie up The resources to distract and occupy the mothers
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: and the brothers and the sisters to care for the sick and the infirmed.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: And then they bomb them.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: Fucking disgraceful.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_01: War crimes.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: All these people should be arrested.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: This shouldn't be a country.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_02: Normally babies were placed in incubators for a few hours,
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_02: sometimes two days, and left healthy because their symptoms were mild.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: Now we record deaths among newborns every day.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: Most were born prematurely at 26 weeks or even earlier.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: This is completely unprecedented.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: And they're born at 26 weeks,
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: partly because the mothers are malnourished and not getting the care that they need.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_02: We've recorded deaths of babies who died not from their original illness,
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_02: but from infections they caught from babies beside them in the same incubator.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_02: It's a disaster, but we have no alternatives.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: We have a limited number of incubators,
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_02: well below the required standard,
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_02: and some are broken, and we repair them with whatever they have.
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you, Topher, appreciate that.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_02: Basic supplies have run out.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: Small oxygen tubes for newborns are unavailable,
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: so staff use larger ones, and they have to fit them.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: Syringes in the sizes used to give premature babies their medicines,
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_02: 20ml, 10ml, 3ml, have all run out completely, and 5ml syringes are extremely scarce.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_02: Oh god, one antibiotic for three babies.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: Here, here's Dr.
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_02: Ahmed Al-Fara,
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: director of the complex's Al-Tahrir building,
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_02: which houses its pediatric neonatal intensive care and maternity units.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_02: All in one place.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_02: Those conditions there violate every recognized international health standard
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: from severe overcrowding to shortages of medicines,
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: medical supplies, and laboratory materials.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_02: Why is that?
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_02: The maternity ward was built for 59 beds and rarely ran at half capacity before
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_02: the bombing and the massacre started becoming inflicted on October 8,
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: 2023 by Israel.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: In a territory they had already occupied and imprisoned.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_02: Staff have since squeezed in ten extra beds,
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: with six more to come, placing beds between beds, with all the risks that brings.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: At times,
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: pregnant women slept on the floor in the corridors,
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_02: and it's the same in children's wards and elsewhere.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_02: Severe overcrowding means epidemics spread and diseases are transmitted,
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_02: and a huge burden on medical staff and on supplies that are extremely scarce.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: The shortages run through everything, he says.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: Syringes,
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: needles,
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: alcohol,
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: disinfectants,
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: plasters, gauze,
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: fetal monitoring paper,
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: blood gas tests,
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: which are essential for saving lives,
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: most laboratory tests,
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: insulin for diabetic children and pregnant women,
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: most medicines for chronic diseases,
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: and IV
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: fluids, including intravenous paracetamol.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I don't know if I'm saying that right.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: Dissent will tell me because she's a nurse.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: Antibiotics such as vancomycin
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: are so scarce that a single vial is shared
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: among three departments,
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: intensive care,
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: the neonatal unit,
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: and the children's ward with all the risks it carries for patients.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's just for antibiotics, let alone anesthesia.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_02: Before Israel's massacre,
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_02: on the rare occasions a medicine wasn't available,
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_02: we would transfer the child directly to hospitals in the West Bank or Israel
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: within hours.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's not possible now.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_02: Today we lose our children because there is no medicine
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: and they can't be evacuated outside Gaza.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: He says conditions were better even during the massacre before the ceasefire
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: and have deteriorated further since it took effect one year ago.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_02: We recorded a death because we didn't have a central line for
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: an intensive care patient, he adds.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: Only recently did we manage to bring some in with a visiting medical delegation.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: Dr. Rachman believes Israel deliberately set out to destroy Gaza's health system.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's absolutely For three years,
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_02: there's been deliberate targeting of the health system by Israel to empty it
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_02: of its staff and its diagnostic and treatment capacity.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_02: The aim is to send Gazans and the message that one of the foundations
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: of survival is gone to achieve a political goal, which is clearly displacement.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_02: This is what the inside of one of these hospitals looks like.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: In the ICU of the hospital's surgical building, Dr.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: Khaled Speer,
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: an anesthesia and ICU specialist,
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: describes patients dying not from the illness that brought them in,
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_01: but from complications caused by missing equipment or by
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: the substitutes staff are forced to use.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: Parcetamil, it's Tylenol.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_02: There we go.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: Dr. Khaled previously headed intensive care at the Gaza European Hospital.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: Until it went out of service after it was raided and ended up behind
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: the yellow line, the boundary that Israel keeps moving further west toward the sea.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: He estimates that Nasser's intensive care unit has about
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_02: 30% of the staff
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: and equipment of similar units in the West Bank or neighboring countries.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: In the years since the ceasefire,
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: quote unquote ceasefire,
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: where 1,400 people have died,
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: The only improvement has been a fall in the number of patients,
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_02: but that's also because they've lost so many already.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_02: Medicines, supplies, and equipment have all declined sharply.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: Some medicines that were once dispensed
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_01: immediately on the ward now require
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: a medical report and a decision from the Ministry of Health itself.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: The machines in the unit are old models brought out of storage
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: after Israeli forces destroyed the advanced equipment.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: All run on batteries because they don't really have running electricity and rely on
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_02: a single main battery for the unit.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: Any failure would, of course, endanger patients' lives.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_02: Supplies are usually missing and sometimes available in limited quantities.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: Khaled tells the New Arab,
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_02: the Part 4 tracheostomy openings to keep
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: a patient's airway opening still isn't available.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_02: That's a rib spreader.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_02: A manual urometer is close to breaking and there's no replacement.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: Blood gas testing, again, is cut off and sometimes available only in drips.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: All of these are the backbone of ICU.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: Depriving patients of these things or replacing them with substitutes that don't do
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_02: the job delays recovery from days to weeks.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_02: Patients deteriorate sharply and develop new illnesses because of the substitutes,
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_02: which again Israel is thrilled to hear.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: Data obtained by the New Arab shows that Nasser now treats around twice
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_02: as many patients as before Israel's war on Palestinian people.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_01: In September,
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_01: its emergency department received almost 50,000 patients compared with just 23,830
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: in the month before October 7, 2023.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: Outpatient visits reached another 20,158, more than double the figure three years earlier.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_02: So they're handling twice the patient load.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_01: And of course,
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: they've lost a ton of staff and had to triage and people have had to be put
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: into service that didn't have training and qualifications.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_01: They've now had to possibly be doing this for up to three years.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: Non-obstetric operations rose from 627 to 988 over the same period.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: Lab tests increased almost 50%.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: X-rays went up from 10,700 to over 62,000.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_01: Hospitals also struggling to keep the lights on.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_01: Last month, they faced a severe shortage of engine oil needed to run its generators.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_01: That shortage hasn't been resolved,
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_01: forcing the administration at times to cut power
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_01: to some facilities considered non-essential.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_01: Tell me what's non-essential.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_03: The system at breaking point.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: And again, we've been talking about them being on the brink for a long time.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_02: Across Gaza, the picture is similar.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_02: According to Dr.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_02: Zahair al-Wahidi,
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_02: Director of the Health Ministry's Health Information Center,
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: 22 of Gaza's 38 hospitals now have reopened with partial capacity,
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: five of them government-run, supported by eight field hospitals.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_02: 98 of Gaza's 157 primary care centers are operating.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_01: That's a good thing.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, yes.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_01: How well they're operating,
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: how antiseptic and cleansed and those places actually are, I have no idea.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: How stocked of supplies, 97 of them are, I can't imagine.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: The ministry says 45% of essential medicines are out of stock,
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: rising to more than 48% for emergency and ICU drugs and cancer chemo,
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_01: with some items far higher.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_01: Natural.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: The shortfall in medical supplies stands at 56%,
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: most acutely for open-heart surgery,
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_01: cardiac catheterization, orthopedics, kidney dialysis, including sodium bicarbonate.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, if you're on dialysis after three years at this point and surviving,
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: God bless these people.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_02: No medical or diagnostic equipment has entered Gaza since October 8, 2023.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: Of the territory's 17 CT scanners,
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_01: only five are working with limited capacity for more than 2 million people.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_02: Well, there aren't really more than 2 million people left.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_02: There's about a million and a half maybe.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_02: None of Gaza's nine MRI machines are functioning.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_02: You remember Daniel Hagari pointing to one of them,
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_02: saying that there were secret tunnels inside of it.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: More than 21,000 patients need medical evacuation outside Gaza,
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: including about 5,600 children,
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: 2,800 cancer patients, and about 200 life-saving cases.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_01: We've recorded 2,027 deaths since the Rafa crossing closed two years ago May.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_01: Biggest treatment was unavailable locally,
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_02: and patients were denied travel abroad.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_02: 1,500 cancer patients have lost their lives.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_02: In 2025,
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_02: about 475 people died from malnutrition and famine,
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: the ministry says, including 165 children under the age of 5.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: Every one of which is an absolute fucking war crime inflicted by Israel.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: And every single one of those is a count that goes against every one of the people
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_01: that inflicted this shit.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: Pregnant women face malnutrition,
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_01: anemia, and high-risk pregnancies, and over 30% of births are premature.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you, Fred.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, fuck Israel.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's not full Israel.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_02: I know what you were saying.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: Back to the neonatal unit.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: Mustafa waits beside a son's shared incubator.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_02: My son's only chance is a medicine that isn't here or road out that isn't open.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: Mohammed Suleiman for the new Arab.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry for having to do that, but this is the reality.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_02: These people live every day, inflicted by our government and supported by our government.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_02: And it's just a disgrace.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_02: This is another really long article from Indie Media Award Honoree, Manda Weiss.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_02: Check them out.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_02: Check out all their links,
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_02: indiemediaawards.substack.com,
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_02: and you can get to the Mondo Weiss page,
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_02: and all the links to find Mondo Weiss are there.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, a brief history of Israeli ceasefire violations from 1948 until today.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_02: Because you know what?
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_01: You know there's a lot more than brief number of them, okay?
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_01: Ahead of the one-year anniversary of the so-called ceasefire in Gaza,
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_01: We look at a brief timeline of a long-established Israeli practice
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_01: of sabotaging negotiations and violating ceasefire agreements
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_01: to advance their goals.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_01: Because we know that to an Israeli, ceasefire means you cease and they fire.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_01: And again,
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: this is displaced
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: Palestinians marching north along the coastal road on October 10,
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_02: 2025, one year ago, when they stopped bombing.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_03: God, look at how blue the sea is.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_03: How long that line of people is.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_03: And all those bombed out buildings you can see in the background.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: And the bombed out buildings here on the beach.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_02: Awful.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_02: On August 18th, 2026,
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: 10 months after the so-called ceasefire between Israel and Hamas had come
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_02: into effect,
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_02: Donald Trump's son-in-law,
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_02: Jared Kushner, held a marathon meeting with the war criminal Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_02: The discussion centered around efforts to advance
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_02: the U.S.-drafted quote-unquote peace plan in Gaza,
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: but reports circulated that Kushner also requested Netanyahu draw down attacks in
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_02: the Strip.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_02: We see how well that worked out.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: Following day,
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: the Israeli military would strike a seaside cafe in Gaza City,
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_01: killing at least seven people, including a child.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_01: Fourteen more were wounded, many critically.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_01: This time, as on many occasions before, the U.S. remained silent.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_01: What should have been seen as a major breach,
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_01: one akin to a declaration of war, Has instead become normalized in Gaza.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_01: As it stands,
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_01: Israel has killed over 1,400 Palestinians since the ceasefire came into effect
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_01: on October 10, 2025, breaking the enclave every single day.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: So you cease and they fire.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_03: I wasn't joking.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: While the number of violations have been egregious,
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_01: the injustice of post-ceasefire Israeli aggression is nothing new.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: In fact,
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: what's played out in the last year fits into a broader historical pattern,
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_01: one that innocent civilians across the Arab world have bore.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_01: Again, from late 1947 onwards,
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: after the UN voted to partition Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states,
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_02: Zionist militias began an expulsion campaign known as the Nakba.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_01: After British control formally expired on May 14, 1948,
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_01: Israel declared independence on the same day,
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_01: and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian villages accelerated.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_01: It had not started that day.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_01: Active fighting would only end with the 1949 Armistice Agreements,
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_02: the first major ceasefire in Israeli history.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_02: The agreements prohibited military action
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_01: and established the green line between
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_01: the nation, Jewish state, and neighboring Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_01: Despite a UN commission set up for each treaty to ensure compliance,
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_01: cross-border violations were recorded from the outset.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_01: In the post-Nakma years,
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_01: thousands of Palestinian refugees would be killed after crossing
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_01: the demarcation line,
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_01: often after attempting to return to their farms to harvest crops,
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_01: visit family, or retrieve lost items.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_01: Dubbed infiltrators by the Israeli state,
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_01: military commander Yigal Alon implemented a free fire buffer zone Okay,
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_01: along the border issuing a directive that every stranger found will be shot
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_01: without interrogation.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_01: While Palestinian-led attacks also occurred,
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_01: Israeli troops would routinely respond with disproportionate force.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_01: Sound familiar?
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_01: One of the deadliest episodes took place in 1953 in the Jordanian-controlled west bank of Libya.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_01: Following an attack that killed three Israelis,
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_01: the army unleashed a raid which came to be known as the Kibya Massacre,
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_01: murdering 69 Palestinians, two-thirds of whom were women and children.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_01: Although cycles of women were common,
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_01: it was only in 1967 that the original agreements collapsed decisively
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_01: after Israel launched a strike on Egyptian airfields igniting the Six-Day War.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_01: Israel would go on to advance well beyond the demarcation line,
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_01: occupying the West Bank, Gaza, the Sinai, and the Golan Heights.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_01: Despite boasting a far more powerful army,
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_01: inflicting over 16,000 casualties and tripling its territory,
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_01: Israel successfully framed the preemptive attacks as a matter of national survival.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_01: Years later,
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_01: Menachem Begin,
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_01: who went on to become Prime Minister,
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_01: admitted there was no proof of an incoming attack,
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_01: yet maintained that this was a war of self-defense in the noblest of terms.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_01: And this, again,
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: is a much longer article that documents
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_02: multiple times that Israel has lied
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_02: about honoring a ceasefire, to nobody's surprise.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_02: But I got a lot more that I want to bring.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_02: So what's next?
• 30:50
  SPEAKER_02: This is from BM at IReallyHateYou on Twitter.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_02: Also on Substack, by the way.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_02: This is over at Notes.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_02: So follow me over there at Indie Media Today over on Notes.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_01: Zionists.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_01: Of course Zionism isn't colonialism.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_01: Literally the name of Rothschild's company for acquiring land
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_01: in mandatory Palestine, the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association, or the PICA.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_01: This was signed 1937.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: There's
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_03: from Haifa.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_03: And this is in French.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_03: Next.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_01: So, funny,
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_01: but apparently the Nobel Peace Prize people gave a peace prize to somebody
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_01: that had called out Israel for its genocide.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_01: So naturally, what did Israel do?
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_01: And the U.S. did?
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_01: They imposed sanctions on the ICC, threatening to dismantle it.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks, Narco.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_01: What happened here?
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_01: This is from Middle East Monitor.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_01: The U.S.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_01: on Friday,
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_01: let me blow this up,
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_01: imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court hours
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_01: after former court judge Navi Pillay won the 2026 Nobel Prize, Anvalu reports.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_01: President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_01: That's not what they want to prosecute that he's not allowing.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's Netanyahu and Gallant.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_01: Smotrich and all of them.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_01: Ben Gavir.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, that's why today the U.S. is sanctioning the ICC.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_01: Rubio said Washington had deferred the designation in hopes that
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_01: the ICC would change course or would otherwise be restrained by states' parties,
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_01: but neither had taken meaningful steps to address our concerns.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like they give a shit about your concerns.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_01: You're not even a part to this thing.
• 33:06
  SPEAKER_01: Either the ICC will end its threats or we will end the ICC.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_01: It sounds like a WWE thing.
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_01: Calling on U.S. allies that are members of the court.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_01: Right, because again, we're not to rein in the court.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_01: How about fuck you and no?
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's what the court's there for.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_01: If they do not,
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_01: the United States will continue its campaign to dismantle the ICC brick by brick
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_01: until Americans are threatened no longer.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_01: And we'll see you in the ring at WrestleMania, he added.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_01: What a fucking loser.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_01: The ICC strongly rejected the sanctions,
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_01: describing them as an assault on the rule of law, which is exactly what they are.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_01: The court also urged its member states to ensure its continued operation.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, fuck them hoes.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_01: The announcement came hours after Pillay,
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_01: a South African jurist who served on the ICC's Appeals Chamber from 2003 to 2008,
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in international criminal justice.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_01: Again, she hasn't been on the ICC in almost 20 years.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_01: They don't care.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_01: The sanctions also followed intensified U.S.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_01: pressure on the court after it issued arrest warrants in November 2024
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_01: for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant over alleged,
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_01: actual, displayed in front of your fucking face war crimes in Gaza.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_01: Alleged.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_01: Washington previously sanctioned ICC judges and prosecutors,
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_01: including court president Tomoko Arkane in August.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_01: At a cabinet meeting at Camp David on July 31st, U.S.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_01: President Donald Fuck Off Trump said Rubio's campaign against
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_01: the court was not intended to protect him.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_01: No, he's trying to defend Bibi and other various people.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_01: He said, again, quiet part out loud.
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks, Trump.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_01: The ICC has 125 member states.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_01: Neither the U.S. nor Israel is a party to the court.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_01: How you hold people accountable to a court they're not a member of, I don't know exactly.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_03: But good luck with that.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_03: Next.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_03: This motherfucker.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_03: Another war criminal that should be in
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_01: front of the ICC at The Hague.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_01: This isn't a random person.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_01: It's a high-ranking Israeli official saying they, quote, need to wipe out Gaza.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_01: This should be headline news.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_01: Genocidal intent?
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_01: That's not genocidal intent?
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_01: We need to wipe out Gaza, for example, not commit genocide, God forbid.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_01: Wipe out Gaza because Gaza is a terrorist entity.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_01: With 1.8 million Nazis.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_01: Should not exist.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_01: Quote unquote.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_01: The devil himself.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_01: Nonsense.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_01: Absolute nonsense.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_01: The Nazis are sitting in that chair.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_01: Sir.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not even going to call you sir.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_03: You piece of shit war criminal.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_03: Human slime.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_03: Disgusting.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_03: To call a baby a Nazi.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck you.
• 36:43

• 41:02
  SPEAKER_03: One day of death and destruction and injury and horror in the Gaza Strip.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_03: Fuck Israel.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_03: And of course we've got the torture camps.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_02: Now this is a Haaretz article.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_02: Really long.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to go into this whole thing.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_02: But this is an interview of
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_01: five prisoners who were held in the Israeli torture camps.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_01: Done again by an Israeli newspaper, Haaretz.
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_02: And it's horrifying.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's awful.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_02: This is what happens inside.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_02: We've talked about all this stuff, right?
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's Ketziot.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's one of the worst.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_01: So I'll just read the beginning of it.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_01: Israeli news shares five testimonies from among thousands of Palestinians
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_01: who survived hunger,
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_01: severe violence,
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_01: scabies,
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_01: brutal living conditions,
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_01: which are part of everyday life for thousands of prisoners.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_01: Fuck Israel.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_01: For three years now, Israel's prisons for Palestinian inmates have operated as torture camps.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_01: Hunger, severe violence,
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_01: scabies, brutal living conditions, part of everyday life for thousands of prisoners.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_01: None of this happens in the shadows.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's declared policy now central
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_01: to National Security Minister Itmar Ben-Gavir's election campaign.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_01: Facts have been laid bare in investigations by the world's leading news outlets,
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_01: reports by human rights organizations, and petitions to the High Court of Justice.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_01: The Israeli public has largely remained indifferent.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_01: The High Court Justices, too, have struggled to muster much concern.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_01: After repeated postponements and much foot-dragging,
• 42:55
  SPEAKER_01: the Supreme Court ruled twice against its policy.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_01: In September 2025, the Justices ordered that the prisoners receive adequate nutrition.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_01: In June of this year,
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_01: they ordered the Israeli Prison Service to resume Red Cross visits to prisons.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_01: Neither ruling appears to have changed anything in practice.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_01: Apart from minor changes to the menu,
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_01: deliberate starvation continues,
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_01: Red Cross representatives still have no access to the prisons,
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_01: and then they kicked out Doctors Without Borders as well.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_01: Motions for contempt of court have been filed in both cases.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_01: Who cares?
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_01: A petition concerning treatment for scabies was dismissed.
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_01: Violence and abuse continue unchecked in every aspect of prisoners' lives.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_01: In September,
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_01: they were holding almost 10,000 security prisoners,
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_01: but only 16% had even been charged and convicted in court.
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_01: The rest were detainees,
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_01: sound familiar, ICE,
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_01: administrative detainees,
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_01: and unlawful combatants, which between all of them made up 84%.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_01: A status not recognized under international law that Israel uses
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_01: to imprison Palestinians,
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_01: Syrians,
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_01: and Lebanese without granting them the rights of prisoners of war
• 44:22
  SPEAKER_01: or criminal detainees.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_01: Fuck Israel.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_01: Again, a very long article.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_01: Here's a quote.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_01: The guards burst into the wing and fired rubber bullets at naked prisoners in the showers.
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_01: And there's a ton of these different Quotes.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_02: It's horrific.
• 44:42
  SPEAKER_02: But I'm just going to close with one other thing here, which is a couple of tweets.
• 44:49
  SPEAKER_01: I love how Israeli media is openly saying, yes, we run torture camps.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_01: And Western media is like, nah, you don't.
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_01: Here's pictures.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_01: Asal Raad, we know her, and we're going to, I think, have more from her later.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_01: When's the last time you saw a Western media headline about Israeli torture camps?
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_01: As of 2022,
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_01: Haaretz newspaper has the third largest circulation in Israel,
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_01: yet Western mainstream media wouldn't dare print a headline like this.
• 45:21
  SPEAKER_01: Israeli prisons,
• 45:23
  SPEAKER_01: or more commonly referred to as Israeli torture camps,
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_01: tortures,
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_01: rapes, and starves Palestinians, men, women, and children in these torture camps.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_01: And they happily admit it.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_01: And now they want to build a moat around,
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_01: stay tame in prison, and put crocodiles, crocs in there.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_01: Horrible.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_01: Not the shoes, the actual crocodiles.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck Israel.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'm done spitting about them for now.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'm exhausted already.
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry to open with this,
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_02: but I'm raging about all this shit and there was so much to cover there.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't know how long that was going to take.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 46:07
  SPEAKER_02: Did I miss anything?
• 46:08
  SPEAKER_02: No, but I do want to go back and bring that thing that I had meant to do earlier.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_02: Let me move that back here about the journalist in Gaza and Mom Donnie.
• 46:20
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_01: So, how you doing, everybody?
• 46:25
  SPEAKER_01: That was fun, huh?
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_01: Fuck Israel for all that it's doing.
• 46:30

• 46:34
  SPEAKER_01: Make no mistake.

• 46:50
  SPEAKER_01: I heard about that.
• 46:52

  SPEAKER_02: Anyway, U.S. real.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_02: Because it's not just Israel.
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's the United States of Israel.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_02: The more I learn about the world, the harder it is to keep fighting back, to be honest.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it is.
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_01: It is, and at times it does feel futile,
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_01: but every single one of us has to do our part to stick our foot
• 48:26
  SPEAKER_02: in the gears and
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_02: at least try to slow the shit down,
• 48:29

• 48:31
  SPEAKER_02: and get in their way and be some kind of an impediment and educate
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_02: the people around us and take care of the people around us.
• 48:38
