Students call on French government to help Palestine
France threatens new sanctions against Israeli settlers
President Emmanuel Macron’s office says France is considering extending sanctions on Israeli settlers behind violence against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank after the prime minister spoke with Jordan’s King Abdullah II.
The two leaders “firmly condemned recent Israeli announcements about settlements” in the occupied West Bank, “which are contrary to international law”, Macron’s office said in a statement.
On February 28, “extremist Israeli settlers” were banned from entering French territory. Last week, the EU imposed sanctions on four Israeli settlers and two settler organisations for violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem.
Since the start of the year, Israeli authorities have declared nearly 1,100 hectares (2,720 acres) of the West Bank to be “state land” – twice as much as in the previous record year in 1999, according to the settlement watchdog Peace Now.
Chef Jose Andres mourns WCK workers killed in Gaza
Celebrity Chef Jose Andres says the seven aid workers killed by Israeli forces in Gaza were “the best of humanity” during a memorial service at the Washington National Cathedral that was attended by hundreds.
The attack on an aid convoy for Andres’s charity, World Central Kitchen (WCK), earlier this month prompted worldwide condemnation.
At the service, Andres praised each of the workers – Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, John Chapman, Jacob Flickinger, Lalzawmi Frankcom, James Henderson, James Kirby, and Damian Sobol – during an emotional eulogy, his voice cracking repeatedly.
“The seven souls we mourn today were there so that hungry people could eat,” he said, referring to residents of Gaza. “They risked everything to feed people they did not know.
“They were the best of humanity. Their examples should inspire us to do better, to be better,” he said.
Andres said WCK continues to demand an investigation into the actions of the Israeli forces against its workers and that the official explanation was not good enough.
“There is no excuse for these killings. None,” he said.

The protesters at George Washington University are not planning to leave anytime soon
The students here at George Washington University have the same template as the students at Columbia. They’re looking for the university to divest, to declare what interests they have in companies linked to Israel, and also, they’re looking to make sure that anyone who is involved in these protests will get an amnesty afterwards.
However, in the last hour or so, we’ve also seen a number of barriers placed on the edge of the square. They were very quickly removed, but they’re not far away. The number of police in nearby streets has increased. We are told the Secret Service was here as well, but they have cycled away and are no longer on site.
A number of accesses to the square have been blocked, and in the building over my shoulder, the police have set up essentially a temporary command structure where they are talking about what they can do. Now, seven o’clock local time … was given essentially as a deadline for the encampment to go away. It’s not clear then what the university administrators will do.
What is clear is that the Metropolitan Police Department has been called in to help because the numbers are just too big for George Washington’s own police to deal with. The mayor has said that it has to be done peacefully if the protesters are to be moved.
The people here are not planning to leave anytime soon. They will stay until the university meets its demands.

Deadline passes for pro-Palestinian student protesters to clear George Washington University
We are an hour past the deadline that the authorities said they wanted the people to move out of College Square, right here in the heart of Washington, DC, to clear the encampment.
Just in the last hour, we have heard from the university saying that the occupation is illegal, is against university policy, and they are continuing discussions with the metropolitan police – the local police department in Washington, DC – about how best to clear the area and return it back to the way it was 14 hours ago.
Oh so you do know occupation is illegal, so why are you supporting Israel...
Pro-Palestinian student protesters on ‘morally sound’ side of history
Wearing the robes they wore to graduation, a former student of George Washington University told Al Jazeera’s correspondent Alan Fisher why the students had a right to protest in support of the people in Gaza.
“I believe that students have always been on the progressive side of history, the morally sound side,” the former student, RK, told Fisher at the protest site. “These students are doing just that. They have every right to free speech. They have every right to be here,” RK said.
“They [the university management] ask us for donations. What are they using our money for? [Student protesters] have the right to question that. So to threaten calling the police on your own students is, in my opinion, very extreme. Instead, they should listen to what the students are saying, which is to stop funding Israel. To stop funding a genocide. And to allow aid in [to Gaza].”

Chants of “free Palestine” and cheers erupted as dozens of Georgetown University students joined the pro-Palestine, antiwar protests at the neighbouring George Washington University campus in the heart of the US capital city.
Students, professors and activists from across Washington, DC, have gathered to show solidarity with Palestinians amid the war on Gaza and demand an end to what they say is complicity by their educational institutions in Israel’s human rights abuses.
Student activism around Gaza has spread to universities and colleges across the US, and it is now taking centre stage in the country’s politics.

Protesters at George Washington University defy deadline to leave campus
It’s been three hours since the university said it wanted to see the college yard cleared of the tents and the protesters. But there are still a number of people there – more than 200. Numbers have gone down as you would expect, and perhaps the police are playing a waiting game.
But those that are in this square are making provisions to stay the night. They are bringing in more tents. They are bringing in more food. They are making sure that the people there have water as well.

I'm starting to feel proud of Gen Z, maybe there will be a better future after all. Social media does a lot of harm, but also is finally making a breakthrough in the 75 years of Israel enjoying impunity in its occupation of Palestine. And for the USA, hopefully it will lead to a reversal of the ever increasing restrictions on freedom. Politicians will need to start listening or they will have no voter base left in the future.
CNN woke up
Almost 400 bodies have been found in mass grave in Gaza hospital, says Palestinian Civil Defense
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/25/middleeast/gaza-400-bodies-mass-grave-hospital-intl/index.html
Authorities in Gaza have concluded their search of mass graves at a hospital in the south of the strip and said they have uncovered a total of 392 bodies, including some still wearing surgical gowns.
Speaking at a Thursday news conference, an official from the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza said workers have identified 165 bodies at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area earlier this month.
They are still examining the remaining 227 bodies to determine their identities, Mohammed Al Mighayyer said at the news conference in Rafah. “We found three mass graves, the first in front of the morgue, the second behind the morgue, and the third north of the dialysis building,” he added.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said any suggestion that it had buried Palestinian bodies in mass graves was false, and that a grave at the Nasser complex was dug by Palestinians in Gaza some months ago.
The Gaza Civil Defense acknowledged that around 100 bodies were buried in graves at the Nasser hospital before the IDF operation there.
A CNN stringer who visited the scene Sunday spoke to people who said they had buried the bodies of family members who had been killed in the grounds of the hospital as a temporary measure in January. When they returned after the Israeli military withdrew on April 7, they discovered the bodies had been dug up and then placed in at least one collective grave, not all in the initial spots they were buried in, the stringer said.
The Palestinian Civil Defense also showed graphic images on a TV screen at the news conference. CNN has reviewed the photos that appear to show several almost unrecognizable bodies at the complex. The images also include bodies of decomposed children.
A CNN stringer who visited the scene on Sunday and Monday saw several decomposed bodies in surgical gowns. Photos CNN has reviewed show several bodies still wearing hospital wristbands.
CNN footage also shows several other children’s bodies decomposed in the complex.
Al Mighayyer said the Civil Defense “witnessed the presence of children’s bodies in the mass graves at the Nasser Medical Complex, which proves crimes of genocide.” While the group says it is still examining the bodies, they suspect at least 20 civilians were buried alive in the complex, but it did not explain how it knows this, or offer proof, while it continues to investigate.
Al Mighayyer also claimed there had been cases of executions of patients who had been receiving treatment at the hospital. He said several bodies were found with gunshot wounds to their heads and injuries to their bodies.
[IDF Censor] CNN is unable to verify these claims and cannot confirm the causes of death of those whose bodies are being unearthed, and it is unknown who is responsible for their deaths.
Al Mighayyer said at the news conference that the Palestinian Gaza Civil Defense in Gaza “discovered torture marks on [some] bodies.” CNN cannot independently verify these claims.
Al Mighayyer added that Israeli forces buried several bodies in plastic bags “at a depth of three meters, which made them decompose quickly.” “The occupation deliberately concealed evidence of its crimes in the Nasser Complex by changing the plastic shrouds more than once,” he claimed. Video recorded by CNN shows bodies wrapped in three different colored shrouds: white, black and blue.
Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF) did not respond to specific questions about the allegations being made regarding the grave sites.
The article goes on with Israel's denial, calls for an investigation and IDF's claims they only DNA tested some bodies.
Ralph Nader calls out Biden’s support for Israel’s Netanyahu despite ‘slaughter’ in Gaza
US author, well-known consumer advocate and one-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader has said Israel is entering a second stage of its “genocidal war” on Gaza, and still, US President Joe Biden “sticks to his master” – Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a series of social media posts, Nader said mass graves have been discovered in Gaza amid “Netanyahu’s slaughter of Palestinian children, women and male civilians”.
“Intelligence agencies report all this in their morning briefings to President Biden. Still, he sticks to his master, Netanyahu,” who is funded by the US taxpayer, Nader said.
“Joe, at least demand that Israel allow US reporters into Gaza and get those obstructed 500 humanitarian aid trucks daily into that tiny enclave containing 2.2 million besieged Palestinians,” he added.

Settlers storm archaeological site in occupied West Bank
A group of settlers, protected by Israeli forces, stormed an ancient reservoir, the Carmel Pool, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to an Al Jazeera correspondent.
This is the latest of a number of incursions carried out by settlers in archaeological sites and water springs across the Palestinian territory during the Jewish Passover holiday.
Up to 14 years to clear Gaza rubble including unexploded ordnance
That’s the assessment of a UN official, who has said that Israel’s devastating war has left an estimated 37 million tonnes of debris in the Gaza Strip.
Pehr Lodhammar, senior officer at the United Nations Mine Action Service, told a briefing in Geneva that although it was impossible to determine the exact number of unexploded ordnance found in the widely urbanised, densely populated territory, it was projected that it could take 14 years under certain conditions to clear debris.
The would include rubble from buildings destroyed in Israel’s bombardment that has reduced much of the narrow, coastal enclave to a wasteland with most civilians homeless, hungry and at risk of disease.
“We know that typically there’s a failure rate of at least 10 percent of land service ammunition that is being fired and fails to function,” Lodhammer said. “We’re talking about 14 years of work with 100 trucks.”

Israel not interested in international probe of Gaza mass graves, former HRW chief says
Israel’s blocking of investigators entering the Gaza Strip is hampering an independent probe into recently discovered mass graves, Kenneth Roth has told Al Jazeera.
Roth, a visiting professor at Princeton University and former executive director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), said it was possible to carry out an investigation of mass graves even in the middle of a war. “This would require simply cooperation by both sides, but Israel doesn’t want to allow these kinds of independent investigations,” Roth said.
“It just wants to sweep the issue under the rug or it will say we’re going to investigate ourselves,” he said, adding that such a process usually ends up with nobody held accountable by Israeli authorities.
The UN and the EU have been calling for an independent probe following the discovery of 392 bodies, including some with their hands tied, stripped of their clothes, and shot in the head. The US has also called for an investigation, but it is not demanding that the probe be independent, Roth noted.

Israel, Hezbollah trade fire overnight
An exchange of fire took place overnight between Hezbollah and the Israeli army along the Lebanon-Israeli border, the Israeli army has said. It added that infrastructure belonging to the Iran-backed group was hit after two antitank launchers were detected coming from Lebanon.
Israeli civilian killed in Hezbollah attack: Army
An Israeli truck driver was pronounced dead after being injured in Hezbollah’s antitank missile attack launched from southern Lebanon, the Israeli army said. Israeli media says the man was carrying out infrastructure work for the military close to Israel’s northern border when the area was hit.

Female teacher among 3 Palestinians taken in Israeli military night raids: Reports
Israeli forces have carried out raids and arrests across the occupied West Bank, including arresting a female Palestinian teacher from the Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah, and two brothers in Hebron.
Israeli soldiers fired live bullets and detonated sound bombs when they raided the home of the brothers in the Talaat at-Takrouri area of southern Hebron, Palestine’s state news agency Wafa reports.
Israeli forces also stormed the following villages, towns and cities, Wafa reports:
Israeli air strikes, artillery fire hammer north, central Gaza
Early morning attacks have taken place throughout north and central Gaza, according to the Wafa news agency. They include:
Israeli troop movements seen as preparation for Rafah assault: Monitors
Palestinian fighters targeted Israeli forces operating in the “Netzarim corridor” with mortars and improvised explosive devices (IED) on Thursday, as two Israeli reservist units relieved the Nahal Brigade in apparent preparation for the anticipated ground invasion of Rafah.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP), two US-based think tanks, said the Nahal – one of Israel’s main infantry brigades – transferred responsibility for operations in the area of the corridor, which is a 6.5km (4-mile) Israeli-built road bisecting the Gaza Strip north from south – to reserve armour and infantry brigades.
According to Israeli army radio, “the Nahal Brigade will rest to prepare for Israeli operations in Rafah,” the latest joint ISW/CTP report states.
Also on Thursday, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Hamas claimed attacks using mortars against Israeli forces in the area of the corridor, and also detonating a “dud F16 missile” from an Israeli jet fighter “that had been recovered by Hamas forces and re-built into an IED”.
‘Constant artillery shelling’ in eastern Rafah
Right now … we’re seeing constant artillery shelling on the eastern part of the city.
That’s part of a longstanding plan by the Israeli military to expand a buffer zone, which is eating up 16 percent of the total area of the Gaza Strip, clearing more farmland and destroying remaining residential buildings in the eastern part.
More importantly, there seems to be a concentration of attacks on Gaza’s central area, mainly refugee camps, such as Nuseirat and Bureij camps, as well as on Deir el-Balah city.
They extend all the way to the northern part of Gaza, where there is almost non-stop artillery shelling and attack drones.
Deaths reported in Israeli air attack on Gaza City home
The air raid hit a home on al-Wehda street, a central thoroughfare in Gaza City, report our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic, killing and injuring numerous Palestinians. The attack comes after our earlier reports of Israeli air raids and artillery shelling in several neighbourhoods around Gaza City, including Tuffah, Zeitoun and Shujayea.
Palestinian fisherman killed off Rafah’s coast
Israeli forces have fired at fishermen working off the coast of Rafah, killing at least one person and injuring another, according to a report from our colleagues on the ground. Israel maintains strict control of Gaza’s territorial waters, and fishers trying to earn a living in the sea are often harassed, intimidated and even shot at by Israel’s navy.
Three people killed near Gaza City: Report
An Israeli air raid has hit another home near Gaza City, this time in the Remal neighbourhood west of the city, reports the Wafa news agency.
The attack killed at least three people, including a woman and a child, according to the report.
Meanwhile, at least one person has been confirmed killed and others injured from an attack we earlier reported on a home on Gaza City’s al-Wehda street.
Round up of arrests at pro-Palestinian protests on US campuses
Reuters news agency reports that around 550 arrests have been made in the last week across major US universities as police crackdown on peaceful protests against Israel’s war in Gaza.
Here’s what we know:
Columbia University Police arrested more than 100 protesters when they tried to clear a Gaza solidarity encampment last week.
University of Southern California More than 90 people were arrested on Wednesday night for alleged trespassing.
University of Texas at Austin The campus was calmer on Thursday, a day after police arrested dozens of students.
George Washington University About 50 students set up a tent encampment on Thursday.
Harvard University The university locked most gates into its famous Harvard Yard this week but a camp with still set up.
California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt The university said protesters continue to occupy two buildings on campus.
Emerson College Boston police said on Thursday that 108 people were arrested at an encampment.
New York University Police said 133 protesters had been taken into custody on Wednesday.
Emory University Police dismantled a camp on Thursday morning. The Associated Press news agency counted at least 17 people detained.
Northwestern University Administrators changed the student code of conduct on Thursday to bar tents on its campus as student activists set up an encampment. No arrests have been reported yet.

Columbia University removes encampment deadline
The university, where some 200 students have set up a pro-Palestine protest camp on campus, has said it will not enforce an overnight deadline it had set to dismantle the encampment, as it continues negotiations with demonstrators.
“The talks have shown progress and are continuing as planned,” said a statement by the university’s president Minouche Shafik about an hour before the midnight (04:00 GMT) deadline. “We have our demands; they have theirs.”
The statement also denied that New York City police had been called to campus.
New York’s Columbia University was the first university where major protests over the war in Gaza broke out last week. The protests have since spread to dozens of college campuses throughout the US, with police making upwards of 550 arrests to break up the peaceful rallies and try to clear encampments.

Pro-Palestine protests at US colleges enter second week
Despite violent police crackdowns, suspensions and admonitions from right-wing politicians, student protesters at dozens of US colleges are continuing their campus demonstrations over the Gaza war into a second week.
“Young people have always pushed our government to do better, whether it was through the civil rights movement, whether it was to end the Vietnam war,” said US Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who visited the pro-Palestine protest camp at New York’s Columbia University on Thursday to relay her support.
“I think they are on the right side of history in pushing our country not to stay complicit in the genocide that is taking place in Gaza.”
Professors arrested as US police use ‘violence’ to clear university camp
Protesters have accused police of excessive force during arrests at an antiwar protest camp at Atlanta’s Emory University, where one female professor was hauled to the ground and detained, and another demonstrator tasered.
Pro-Palestine protests continue at Paris Institute of Political Studies
There are a few dozen students outside the university and a few dozen inside as well. They’ve been staging a sit-in for nearly 24 hours. We know that university authorities have asked them to leave, but so far they haven’t.
There’s a pretty light police presence, and for now, the protesters are being left alone. They’ve got a number of banners saying “No to war” and saying this is a genocide.
They’re here protesting not only for the Palestinian people and asking for an end to the war but also saying they want universities in France, including Sciences Po, which is one of the most prestigious in France, to cut ties with Israeli universities.
They’re also calling on the French government to do more to protect the Palestinian people and protect what they say has been an erosion of freedom of speech. There were protests here at the university before. The police moved in and moved away those protesters.
This isn’t, at this stage, the sort of movement we’re seeing in the US. There have been two or three of these protests or sit-ins at this particular university, but we haven’t seen them in other universities throughout France. Certainly, some of the students here are hoping we might see a wave of protests across French universities.
‘We feel silenced’, protesters at France’s Sciences Po say
“One thing to know is our school is a leading school when it comes to political sciences, when it comes to international relations and international law, so it is important for us, regarding what is happening right now in Palestine, to speak up,” Sophie, a spokesperson for the students told Al Jazeera.
She added that they are calling for a town hall, for Sciences Po to cut ties with Israeli universities and for all investigations ino pro-Palestinian students to be cancelled.
“We feel silenced because we are not heard by the administration. We have been demanding what I’m telling you since October now. Plus we have been under several threats every time we were organising events,” she said.
“We’ve now reached another step with the police coming into our campus during Wednesday’s occupation to take us out.”
‘Extremely hard’ to talk about Palestine in France, says protester
We have spoken to more pro-Palestine demonstrators at Sciences Po in Paris, where students have been blocking the entrance to the university.
Hicham said he was demonstrating to force the administration of the education institution in the French capital to “break their complete silence”. “For three days we’ve been occupying our school. We went to one building, they [the university] called the cops on us, we had to get out, so we went to the main historical building,” Hicham told Al Jazeera.
“My comrades are still inside and there’s a big blockade of the school right now. We have a few demands but one of them is to start investigating all of the ties they [Sciences Po] have with the state of Israel, which [are] academic and financial.”
He added that it has become “extremely hard” to talk about Palestine in France due to the way police respond. “But I think the more repression happens, the more people are mobilising. Meaning that we were maybe 300 people before, [but] now we’re 600,” he said.

Tunisian student union calls for solidarity rallies
The Tunisian General Union of Students (UGET) has praised the pro-Palestine protest movement sweeping US universities and urged its own students to take similar actions.
In a statement on Facebook, UGET said it expressed “gratitude and admiration for the student movements at American universities, drawing inspiration from their remarkable history of war rejection, as witnessed during the Vietnam War”.
UGET called on Tunisian university students to likewise organise protests, vigils, and seminars “in support of the Palestinian liberation cause”, and for the establishment of a “national day of solidarity with Palestine in all universities”.
