And you saw European leaders come out and offer...
a tepid response, too little, too late.
And it was definitely a day late and a dollar short.
It was a response that was, you know, conditional recognition of statehood, you know, things that are objectively offensive on its face when you consider it.
Having said that, that was enough for, I think, Trump to also recalculate how much
He was allowing Israel to continue punishing Gaza, to continue killing Palestinians, and that's the reason why they implemented the ceasefire, a fake ceasefire, so that we here in the West would stop paying attention to it and move on to other things.
Yeah, and there's endless punishment for the people that stayed, and they pushed everyone out of the Rafah crossing to the best of their ability, and now they're not even letting people come back into the Gaza Strip, and they're limiting people, you're saying, that left before October 7.
They're not even allowed to come back into the Gaza Strip.
All of this is, of course, illegal.
What do you, as a Palestinian from Gaza, feel about the international rule-based order?
By the same standard applied to Palestinian reporters that were killed, the post-mortem analysis saying that they are criminals because of their affiliations, even if the affiliations are just like, oh, you've taken a photo one time with Yahya Sanwar or someone like that.
If that was applied to Israel evenly, it would justify the execution of every single Israeli journalist because every single Israeli journalist has participated in the Israeli occupational forces at some point because there's mandatory conscription.
And not only that, but like you also pointed out, they still are embedded with armed troops when they go into Gaza.
Not only are the journalists embedded with armed troops, but they themselves are armed also when they're doing their coverage.
Not only are they IDF veterans, sometimes they're directly embedded with IDF units.
So they're directly connected to the Israeli occupational forces.
And yet, even when there is no real connection to any of these groups that Israel has declared to be terrorist groups,
Which, once again, many of these groups are also acting out the internationally allowed legal right to militarily resist against illegal occupation.
What Israel is doing is illegal in this situation.
They will say this is reason enough for their execution.
