The Electronic Intifada:
"An Israeli child completely incinerated at Kibbutz Be’eri was killed by two tank shells shot by Israeli forces at the end of an hours-long gun battle, a survivor of the same carnage told the Israeli state broadcaster Kan earlier this month.

Yasmin Porat, taken captive with at least a dozen other Israeli civilians on 7 October, told Kan Radio that a fellow captive, 12-year-old Liel Hatsroni, survived to the end of the battle and only died when Israeli forces fired two tank shells at the house where they were held hostage by Hamas fighters. ...

A day after Porat’s revelation on live radio that Liel Hatsroni had been torched to death by tank fire, an Israeli official confirmed that she was not nearly the only person incinerated by Israel on 7 October and in the days that immediately followed. ...Meanwhile, Hatsroni’s death is being used by Israeli politicians to incite and justify Israel’s vengeful slaughter of thousands of Palestinian children in Gaza."

-->Few sources beside The Electronic Intifada are fact checking Israel's propaganda and war lies. Do I always trust The Electronic Intifada? No. But sometimes their interviews are authentic, and reading this publication adds a little balance to the pro-Israel reporting I see in much of the US media.

Common Dreams:
"The Nation Publishes Gaza Genocide Article Killed by Harvard Law Review. The Nation this week published a piece about Israel's genocidal war on the Gaza Strip that the Harvard Law Review commissioned from a Palestinian scholar but then refused to run after several days of internal debate, a nearly six-hour meeting, and a board vote.

The essay—'The Ongoing Nakba: Towards a Legal Framework for Palestine,' by Rabea Eghbariah, a human rights attorney and doctoral candidate at Harvard Law School—begins: 'Genocide is a crime. It is a legal framework. It is unfolding in Gaza. And yet, the inertia of legal academia, especially in the United States, has been chilling.' The controversy over Eghbariah's own piece helps prove his point. ...

Eghbariah wrote in an email to an editor: 'This is discrimination. Let's not dance around it—this is also outright censorship. It is dangerous and alarming.' "

-->The NYT didn't print this story. I think the story reveals the pro-Israel narrative that gets promoted by both our premier newspaper and our premier university. They have both hurt their reputations in trying to defend the genocide in Gaza.

Aljazeera:
"Leaders of major emerging economies called for an end to Israel’s war on Gaza on Tuesday, and for a cessation of hostilities on both sides to ease the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

In a virtual summit chaired by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, the BRICS grouping denounced attacks on civilians in Palestine and Israel, with many leaders calling the forced displacement of Palestinians, within Gaza or outside the territory, 'war crimes.'

'We condemned any kind of individual or mass forcible transfer and deportation of Palestinians from their own land,' a chair’s summary read. The group, which did not issue a joint declaration, also 'reiterated that the forced transfer and deportation of Palestinians, whether inside Gaza or to neighbouring countries, constitute grave breaches of the Geneva conventions and war crimes and violations under International Humanitarian Law.' ”

-->The NYT covered this story, but under a questionable title: "At BRICS Summit, Countries Diverge Slightly on Israel and War in Gaza." This story in the NYT emphasizes "divergent positions" and "subtle differences," rather than a universal condemnation of Israel's ethnic cleansing and genocide.
