AMEEN

We are watching Israel and its influence unravel in real time in our lifetime, Israel is on a downward trajectory and on a losing cause and just bent on inflicting misery on people while it goes down but that won't save it from collapse.

Again that is the thinking that will never lead to peace. Why does Israel need to be finished? Why cant Gaza try to peacefully coexist with Israel? Israel for one is not going anywhere whether Gazans like ot or not. Why is it always river from the sea talk and never trying to stay peacefully side by side? Why not atleast give it a chance?

It's a pity.

I could understand a young Palestinian youth wishing an end to Israel. While they've inflicted some misery on Israel, they've had ten times as much inflicted on them so I can get it. It's tough to think rationally through such pain.

A random Pakistani dude wishing an end to Israel is taking it too far. There are Israelis now whose grandparents have been born there. Through 3 generations they've known no other country. It's absurd to call for Israel to be 'doomed'.

There are Palestinians whose great, great, great, great grandparents are born on the land which has been robbbed from them.

Historically, Muslims allowed and permitted Jews back into Palestine against the wishes of local Christians and Jewish quarter (of native Jews and not Atheist Europeans) existed alongside Muslims with no issues and the Atheist Europeans came along and inflicted barbarity on native people and usurped their lands and then claimed themselves to be native...

I don't really want to relitigate history. Otherwise today's Americans will have to vacate America, Brits vacate Britain and so on till we go back to the first man and all 8 billion of us will have to fit into a few square kilometres in Ethiopia.

We have to draw a line on when a people belong to a land or if you prefer to think of it differently, a land belongs to a people. I personally like to think of it as when an entire generation born in that land grow to maturity. You can't ask them to vacate that land anymore. They've never known any other.

Israel and Palestine will have to coexist. Today Israel has the dominant hand, tomorrow it's possible Palestinians will. Either way, they have to eventually live as two countries next to each other like India and Pakistan do.

That said, I understand Israelis and Palestinians hating each other viscerally. I can't get why folks like @The Bald Eagle wish 'doom' on Israel.

Israel has squandered the chance to co-exist multiple times before be it Camp David accords, Oslo accords or many suggestions for two state stuff but if they don't comply and remain hell bent in their atrocities then let their anti Christ save them from their ultimate fate.

Muslims don't hate "Jews" or "Hindus" or anyone and there is no visceral hate but I understand that it may be difficult for someone looking for a "Sanghi-RSS" lens to understand.

However, kids have been slaughtered in cold blood, villages have been wiped out and EVEN THEN there are no large scale attacks on Jews anywhere in the Islamic world Jews still live in Iran, Turkiye, UAE etc with no issues. The lone attacks on people, their places of worship in a civil society are utterly condemned by everyone concerned.

The ground reality of apartheid, fascist and barbaric state of Israel is for everyone to see apart from most myopic and hateful posters. What is being called for is a dismantling of a barbaric state and its machinery i.e. Israel.

But as I have said before, dishonesty is a forte of certain kinds of posters on the forum.

Agreed, the state of Israel has given up its rights by inflicting barbarity on other humans and civilians.
 
 
FIFA fines Israel FA citing racism and ‘multiple’ discrimination breaches

FIFA fined the Israeli Football Association (IFA) 150,000 Swiss francs ($190,700) for “multiple breaches” of its anti-discrimination obligations.

A report on Thursday by the disciplinary committee of world football’s governing body found the IFA “failed to take meaningful action against Beitar Jerusalem” for “persistent and well-documented racist behaviour”.

In October 2024, the Palestine Football Association reported allegations of discrimination by the IFA to FIFA, which initiated an investigation.

FIFA did not opt for the sanction requested by the Palestinian FA, which argued for a suspension of the IFA.

But the IFA was found to have failed to “abide by FIFA’s statutory objectives”, in a lengthy decision published by its disciplinary committee, which listed several racism incidents in Israeli football.

The disciplinary committee highlighted “deficient and substantively inadequate” sanctions against Israeli club Beitar for racist and discriminatory behaviour.

“Supporters have engaged in persistent and well-documented racist behaviour,” the report said of Beitar fans.

“The club’s use of slogans such as ‘forever pure’, and the repeated chanting of ethnic slurs such as ‘terrorist’ directed at Arab players, are not isolated incidents but rather form part of a systemic pattern of conduct that offends the basic rules of decent behaviour and brings the sport into disrepute.

“The committee underlined that said club is only a small example of a general failure by the IFA.”

FIFA also said the IFA was issued with a warning and was ordered to display a “significant and highly visible banner” at its next three FIFA competition home matches, stating “Football Unites the World – No to Discrimination”.

Gaza toddler returned to family with alleged torture wounds on legs after Israeli detention​


A doctor told the child’s family that his injuries were consistent with ‘signs of torture and cigarette burns’, reports say​


A toddler in Gaza was returned to his mother with apparent marks of “torture” on his legs - likely caused by cigarette burns - after 10 hours in Israeli detention, his family has claimed.

Jawad Abu Nassar, aged 21 months, was taken by Israeli soldiers alongside his father, Osama Abu Nassar, 25, near their home in the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) rejected the claims, describing them as “unfounded”, and said the child was brought “by a Hamas operative into a dangerous area to be used as a human shield”. They claimed that his injuries were inflicted by shrapnel from bullets being fired by Israeli soldiers.

Following Jawad’s release from detention, his mother discovered what appeared to be severe burns around and behind his knees, as well as a wound caused by a sharp object, Sky News reported.


When his family took him to hospital, doctors told them that the injuries were consistent with “signs of torture and cigarette burns.”

The incident happened on the morning of 19 March as Osama took his little boy out to buy him sweets ahead of the Muslim festival Eid al-Fitr.


Osama’s father, Muhammed Husni Abu Nassar, said he witnessed his son and grandchild heading east, towards the so-called Yellow Line, the invisible border that splits the Israeli-designated military zones and buffer areas inside the Strip.

Osama, whose home had been destroyed in an Israeli bombardment, had reportedly been grappling with severe trauma and the recent loss of his unborn child.

His father told Middle East Eye: “The neighbours told me that [Israeli soldiers] did not shoot him, they only fired around him.

“Poor him, he seemed unaware of what he was doing, so he just kept walking.”

An Israeli quadcopter drone approached Osama before he was seen putting Jawad down, walking towards soldiers and removing his clothes, keeping only his boxers on, eyewitnesses told his father.

The IDF told The Independent that on the day of the incident, it had identified a suspect approaching while holding an unidentified object, later found to be the toddler.

Despite “repeated” calls to stop, the man continued walking toward the soldiers until they fired at the road as a warning, the spokesperson claimed.

“It is likely that splinters resulting from the fire caused minor injuries to both the suspect and the toddler,” they added.

Both Jawad and Osama vanished, until - about 10 hours later - Muhammed received a phone call from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who told him that they have his grandson.

When he went to pick up the boy, he saw that his trousers were covered in blood splotches.

“We asked him, ‘Who caused this blood?’ He could not answer,” his grandfather said. “When we asked, ‘Where is your father?’ he said only, ‘Gone.’”

Jawad’s mother told Sky: “When I took his trousers off, I saw his legs. There were entry and exit wounds right here. It seems like they used a metal tool to pierce him. And they put out cigarettes on his little legs. We only realised the extent the next day.”

The child was examined by Dr Bisan Ahmed, an emergency room physician, a day after his release. She produced a medical report that identified signs of possible torture.

"I observed multiple deep, uniform lesions on his lower body, which are clinically consistent with deliberate cigarette burns used as a form of physical torture," she told Sky News. The Independent could not verify the report.

Jawad’s father is still missing, and his family has not been told whether he has been arrested by the Israeli army, or what his condition is after being wounded. The IDF has not produced evidence to support the claim that Osama is a member of Hamas.

The IDF said the child had been transferred safely to the Red Cross and released footage of a soldier handing the child over and saying: "His vitals are stable. Walking and talking, and he's happy."

A statement from the IDF added: “The suspect was apprehended by the troops and taken to a nearby military post, where he received medical treatment and was questioned.


“During questioning, he identified himself as a Hamas operative and admitted entering Israeli territory during the October 7 massacre. He confessed to bringing his toddler son with him to prevent harm if he approached IDF troops.

“Simultaneously, the toddler was taken by the troops to the same military post, where he was examined and remained under the constant supervision of the physician, as well as an officer and additional troops who provided food, sweets, and drinks.”

Three journalists killed in Israeli strike on marked press car in Lebanon​


An Israeli attack on a clearly marked press car kills Al Mayadeen and Al-Manar reporters as WHO laments deadly day for paramedics.
Three journalists and nine paramedics were killed in southern Lebanon on Saturday as the US-Israel war on Iran intensified.

An Israeli attack on the reporters’ clearly marked press vehicle killed Fatima Ftouni and her brother and colleague, Mohammed, of Al Mayadeen and Al-Manar’s Ali Shuaib on the Jezzine Road.

Four precision missiles hit the vehicle, Al Mayadeen said.

Other journalists were wounded in the attack, and one paramedic was killed as ambulances were also reportedly targeted.


The World ⁠Health ⁠Organization said that eight other paramedics were killed on Saturday and seven more were wounded in ⁠five separate attacks on healthcare in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military acknowledged the strike that killed the journalists, claiming Shuaib was embedded within a Hezbollah intelligence unit and had been tracking Israeli troop positions in southern Lebanon. It also alleged he had been distributing Hezbollah propaganda.

Al-Manar, his employer, described him as one of its most prominent war correspondents, having covered Israeli attacks on Lebanon for decades.

Israel, which has killed more than 270 journalists in Gaza, often alleges that the reporters it targets are members of or are linked to armed groups without providing evidence.

Neither network accepted Israel’s characterisation.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said Israel had once again violated “the most basic rules of international law” by targeting civilians carrying out their professional duty.

He called it “a blatant crime that violates all norms and treaties under which journalists are granted international protection during armed conflicts”.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam decried the attack as “a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law”.

Reporting from Tyre in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera’s Obaida Hitto said, “All the journalists that I’m speaking to here today say that they were just doing their job, and that the journalists that are still here are going to continue to carry out their work despite the obvious dangers.”

Nine paramedics killed in one day​

WHO’s chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus did not specify the perpetrator when announcing the deaths of paramedics.

“In Zoutar al-Sharqiya, five health workers were killed in a strike, and two were injured, one critically. Two more health workers were killed and three wounded in Kfar Tibnit; one paramedic died in an attack at a health facility in Ghandouriyeh, while another was killed in a strike in Jezzine. Two were wounded in an attack on Kfar Dajjal,” he said.

Tedros noted ⁠the repeated attacks have severely disrupted health services in ⁠southern Lebanon, with four ⁠hospitals and 51 primary ⁠healthcare centres now closed and several other facilities ‌operating at reduced capacity.

‘Intense day of bombardment’​

For Ftouni, one of the journalists who was killed, the war had already struck close to home. Earlier this month, her uncle and his family were killed in an Israeli strike, a loss she had reported on live television.

Al Mayadeen has now lost six journalists since hostilities began. Farah Omar, Rabih Me’mari, Ghassan Najjar and Mohammad Reda were killed in earlier attacks.

According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Health, 1,142 people have been killed and more than 3,300 injured in Israeli attacks since March 2 amid the rapidly widening regional conflict now entering a second month.

Israeli troops have pushed further into the south, advancing towards the Litani River. Hezbollah has claimed dozens of operations against Israeli forces in the past 24 hours.

An Israeli air raid in the southern Lebanese town of Deir al-Zahrani killed one Lebanese soldier, Lebanon’s National News agency reported.

Reporting that he could still hear “explosions”, Al Jazeera’s Hitto said the south had experienced an “intense day of bombardment and air strikes”, describing the entire area south of the Litani River as a “no-go zone”.

He said that some 20 percent of the population of southern Lebanon was staying put in defiance of Israel’s forced displacement orders, but that their decision was “turning into a very deadly gamble”.


Saturday’s killings of the journalists fit a pattern that press freedom organisations have been tracking with alarm.

The Committee to Protect Journalists recorded a global high of 129 journalists killed in 2025, the most since it began collecting data over three decades ago, with Israel responsible for two-thirds of those deaths.

It has now killed more journalists than any other nation in CPJ’s recorded history.

A separate assault earlier this month killed Al-Manar’s political programmes director, Mohammad Sherri, in central Beirut.
