More video and eyewitness info on Al Jazeera so far

Also reported on Common Dreams and Middle East Eye.

I haven’t found any reports of any independent investigations yet, hopefully they are underway

    It’s not that Jews immigrated to their “homeland”, it’s that they are ethnically cleansing the people who have called that land home for thousands of years. Palestine could have been a modern pluralistic nation that included Jews, but instead zionists chose genocide to try and make a country for only Jewish people. That’s why this conflict is where it is today, Palestinians want some of their land back that was stolen in living memory (as opposed to 2000 years ago), but Israel really wants beachside condos and there are people they consider sub-human in their way.

        The genocide started when settlers began attacking Palestinians towns to expel them from their land to make way for more settlers. Settlers had been there for decades before at that point without committing genocide. It’s the displacing and killing that’s the problem, not the immigration. It’s got nothing to do with the fact that they’re Jewish either, calling it antisemitism is using past atrocities against Jewish people to justify or deflect from the currently ongoing genocide.
