A Palestinian doctor has died in an Israeli prison after more than four months in detention, Palestinian prisoner associations have said.
Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, 50, was the head of orthopaedics at al-Shifa Hospital.
Colleagues have paid tribute to the late surgeon, describing him as "compassionate" and "heroic".
Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the West Bank and Gaza, said she was "extremely alarmed" by news of Dr Al-Bursh's death and called on the diplomatic community to take concrete measures to protect Palestinians.
Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry said in a statement that Dr Al-Bursh’s death meant that the total number of medical workers who had been killed by Israel since the 7 October attack now stands at 496.
CAIRO (AP) — Israel and Hamas appear to be seriously negotiating an end to the war in Gaza and the return of Israeli hostages. A leaked truce proposal hints at compromises by both sides after months of stalemated talks.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week praised Israel for offering what he described as significant concessions and saying “ the time is now ” for Hamas to seal the deal. Hamas leaders, meanwhile, say they are reviewing the proposal in a “positive spirit” and sending a team to Egypt in the coming days to continue the talks.
Activist Groups Trained Students for Months Before Campus Protests
The recent wave of pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses came on suddenly and shocked people across the nation. But the political tactics underlying some of the demonstrations were the result of months of training, planning and encouragement by longtime activists and left-wing groups.
At Columbia University, in the weeks and months before police took down encampments at the New York City campus and removed demonstrators occupying an academic building, student organizers began consulting with groups such as the National Students for Justice in Palestine, veterans of campus protests and former Black Panthers.
They researched past protests over Columbia’s expansion into Harlem, went to a community meeting on gentrification and development and studied parallels with the fight over land between Palestinians and Israelis. They attended a “teach-in” put on by several former Black Panthers, who told them about the importance of handling internal disputes within their movement.
“We took notes from our elders, engaged in dialogue with them and analyzed how the university responded to previous protests,” said Sueda Polat, a graduate student and organizer in the pro-Palestinian encampment.
An Instagram post by UVM’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine celebrated the cancellation, calling Thomas-Greenfield a “war criminal.”
The Democratic National Committee’s college outreach arm, the College Democrats of America, has also voiced solidarity with the pro-Palestinian protestors and slammed the White House over how it has dealt with the conflict.

Early in the second century A.D., the Emperor Hadrian prohibited the Jews from entering Jerusalem. From that period dates the dispersion of Jews throughout the world. Since then, until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, no Jewish Government has existed in Palestine. Although some Jews have always lived in Palestine, their numbers have fluctuated depending on the tolerance of the successive rulers.

I've explicitly said that attack was awful at least twice in this thread, including at least once directly to you.blah blah history shows that..
Not sure what Emperor Hadrian has to do with the IDF stopping food, water and medicine being distributed to the 2 million Gazans living on the brink of famine and with all their hospitals destroyed, but maybe you can help join those dots for us.

Rafah is where almost the entire 2 million population of Gaza is currently forced to hide after Israel's invasion drove them out of the rest of the region, and this invasion also closes the only border crossing that was even partly open, thereby sealing off the small amount of aid that was managing to get into Gaza (food for its starving people and medicine in lieu of the hospitals that have been destroyed).

It's not Arab missiles that have been used to kill 35,000 civilians in their homes over the last 7-8 months. It's Israeli and US missiles.
The US Government has actually just come out and admitted its bombs are being used by the Israeli army to commit war crimes:

So, to recap:
- The UN, the ICJ, most world governments including the US and EU, Amnesty International, Red Cross etc: Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza
- The Israeli army, Dukasaur and HitRed: war is war, literally any atrocity whatsoever is justifiable and anyone who says anything different is a snowflake SJW
