4:00 pm
the, the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, i'm so i may say them, this is the news. our live from dell coming up in the next 60 minutes. witnesses 10? i'll just sarah is ready for susan garza exit q to the 11 on the palestinian man front of the families. world health organization says there are no functional hospitals left in northern cancer due to
4:01 pm
a lack of fuels stopped and supplies. a number of palestinians killed and israel's war on gaza has reached 20000, including more than 8000 children. ascend, brigade says it's launched a barrel of rockets instead of even in response to his rails killing civilians and renews fighting across. these are all live in a boat. at least one person is being killed to get the lights, the see how the you and the human rights office says it's received allegations of what could be a will crime, buys, ready full series in gaza. says it's received information that logic is right. the forces executed at least 11 on the palestinian men in front of the families in the north of the strip is right, the forces allegedly stormed, the residential building, then separated the men from the women and children. the incident is alleged to have
4:02 pm
happened that the ad on building west civilians with sheltering you and it's cooling for an investigation or having my co joins us live from rafa. so how, how do we, 1st of all a stop with what we're hearing from eye witnesses? a yes sign either reports uh, from dogs, about the 11 people or from one family and then family along with their in laws this for a family. and as i see family who were sheltering and one uh, and a residential home belongs to an end family in center, a gauze of july road. our whole roof leak. i know there are spreading across the area right here. many people are reacting where the frustration and anger as a lot of people who still have family members remaining family members. we are caught in the words on, in the know the part and gaza and making them more worried and more concerned about the positive trust that is committed by these really
4:03 pm
a military and it's invading forces on the ground and are still being committed, making them worried about their relatives making them that a thing that they're the coming days might have might unfold more of the atrocities committed. but the fact that those at the group of civilian inside the residential homes and the women worried gather and separated from the men. and then the men were shot at it from the blank point is making everybody frustrated. and so a lot of people react differently here. but one comment that we had it from uh, from one of the people who was talking about what happened is that it was not a surprise at all given all the this year level of destruction on the atrocities that been committed by this very minute 3. i'm the number of families have been wiped out the say, and this is normal for an occupation. and if you're applying force acting as an occupying force and on ok pipe territory, this is what we've heard from a people when we talk to them to yeah, i know, you know,
4:04 pm
i'm with him about sick this. i've been beyond 7 to 6 years old and have even so many was on the conflicts in my life. you know, but i haven't seen anything like this model to see a level of destruction. unsustainable heating the civilians. very welcome and what is going on this? and they all died munition of up on that. it's something that's really surprising to me that these things are actually, you know, happening. we don't expect this type of thing. and, or i feel like you know more. everything should be fair, everything should be accounted for. everyone should be held responsible for their actions. i feel like this story is insane to me that people are being executed in the garden city. those are our people, you know it's, it's difficult to here somewhere else. so hearing the crossings and now being bombed one, can you tell us about that, honey? here's what, at this point, it seems a re other remaining means of life in gaza or to be helping a dog and to survive is being a target. a by uh,
4:05 pm
is really relentless various right. so not only were talking about no residential homes that have been already targeted. the largest good and public facilities, including schools and hospitals. but now the very crossing that within the past, if you did the word discussion about allowing that human a jury and ada trucks to go through it to help all of the, the, the, the miserable situations and reduce the difficulties that there is a word of starvation going on and gaza being target as what was specifically talking about kind of both silent across, being controlled by these really military and where to 3 people were killed. right at the spot when i'm not drawn fire to 3 muscles at them including the director of the crossing you from the palestinian side of the this of good good have an implications on the work and the activities going on on the crossing. it might, we might see a delay in the the trucks coming in into a goza, which we, which will only be a more devastating for people who are on the verge of,
4:06 pm
of gravitating a starvation already. we're seeing the visible sign of it in the central part of the gas turban, even in the northern part, even worse here. and then, and city of revenue where 1000000 people displaced palestinians at ford into the city within the past few days. i will leave it there. thanks so much. hi, my fluid. this is there. any bulldozers have destroyed the chef siobhan cemetery in the neighborhood and east and gaza images from the cemetery show recently buried bodies lang, among the rubble of tombstones houses. there was a smile. is it the whole reports now from the cemetery? and we should warn you. some of the images in his reports may be disturbing. i look to see and look what a chips i've been and what costs i'm standing in the middle of the shake shabani cemetery and the i'll show a neighborhood. this symmetry was pulled those by the user id occupation forces.
4:07 pm
the dad has been exude and crushed under the bulldozers of the occupation forces. to give you a clearer picture, you can see. one of the dead bodies assumed by the is rarely occupation forces. the body was crushed by these riley's heavy machinery. it is not the 1st time that the occupation forces hold those symmetries destroying graves and makes you mean the dead bodies and then utilizing them. you can see clearly the traces of the is ready, occupation forces, heavy machinery, and the tracks of the ahmed vehicles. even the data not sped and respected. this is a gross violation of a basic human value. any part of the already dead bodies are clearly visible. zoomed and crushed and mutilated by the ease, riley forces saw how this all cuts on malta. this is part of a scope of a deadman quotes to the whole month of the motor. and here is another completely exams, dead body from
4:08 pm
a grade so that listen to all these on the on. there is no respect for the dead. these rarities have no respectful human lives, not even in death. the cemetery was totally bulldozed and totally destroyed on purpose. uh here you can see another dead body of a recently buried. a person shrouded in white. i just saw the body was assumed on purpose by the israelis. this is what remains is some of the shrouds and some of the dead. the tracks of these riley tags, purposely crushed the dead bodies that had been exempt from that grace. this is the foot of a dead child. he was killed in an abstract and reason. the buried now assumed a mutilated by the israelis had caused this to have a long time on the books. and i come up with a has a button that says, uh huh. there is another body of another child over here to respect. we will not reveal anymore checks out button and what we are opposing live from the shakes
4:09 pm
siobhan symmetry and the alice neighborhood. this was boulders and destroyed by the is riley homage. vehicles and bulldozers. the dead bodies were exempt them the mutilated. there is no respect for that. it is yeah. another wall crime committed by the israelis. that's mind of the whole mean. medina does not to just go along with the actual joins us now. here in del hays, professor of security and ministry studies, the, the institute for graduate studies, good to have you with us. so, you know, just looking almost at some of the things we've talked about in the 1st, what is it? 9 minutes of this show allegations, the u. n. is calling for an investigation about summary executions. a report of aaron garza talking about what's happening, desecration of cemeteries, i mean this kind of stuff. what is the point from a minute treat the spec to, i know we go to focus your security and military analysts. so was step aside from the discussion about, you know, the humanity and the double standards and international law. but from
4:10 pm
a ministry perspective, what is the usefulness if i, if that's the correct word to use here, all of this kind of practice joining wolf out all these i legit, practices i. so the functionality or the usefulness is a, this is on the rational side, right? so on the rational side, you the to summarize it to catalyzed the population to make them less and less likely to support the uh, the surgeon force. the 4th is fighting against the, the, the, the, the state force in the region by more attacking says civilians more on a more or less a to the rising them so they can get penalize, you know, way so, so there's a way to break the will of the people to resist the occupation is not too big. the will of the people in supporting whoever it is they're just doing the occupation so that that's the, that's the so even the is the targeting and noncombatants. so noncompetitive, i'm not, i'm not really resisting so, but they're supporting, you know, way if they are supporting the, the, the, the combat and so that's, that's the, it's
4:11 pm
a very old school and then counselor. so who is conference agency operations is to try to target the population and punish the population. if you sense that there is a um, some support. uh which is which is good to clear that in that case. so this is what makes it easy though, i mean, you've covered all the holes, you seen a lot of the ministry tactics employed? does this kind of tactic work? it the majority of military generals, including many of the. ready us military generals who experienced the, was in vietnam in the of gun this done and the doc, and also a bit of generals unless they will tell you it's, it's not working. and they have the different approach of the winning hearts and minds. trying to actually the, the us feel manual for a contents agency tells you exactly the, the, the fight between the states and the non state is a competition of the other d for the population. so we're trying to make the, the population less, and that's loyal to the,
4:12 pm
the non state force and make it more with the state by offering incentives. in this case it's, it's offering they offer the destruction and, and the situation that so, but also the, the psychological side to it because uh, you know, the, the graveyards on this uh, they believe that the tunnels on the doors. uh, some security uh uh they mentioned to it and it has normally 3 value the monuments has normally 3 value. what, why would you uh, the drop down and wont even to call me or anything that you said on the front door . uh, well, you know, this happened to you guys, so these have no means the value, but it has more and more psychological. um show we say uh, on one side the soldiers would like to see that. and on the other end also the, it's damaging the, the, the morales or they believe it may damage the more i love the population as well. in the ukraine country. i know you're familiar with that. we've seen allegations of war crimes lead to an arrest warrant for the russian president,
4:13 pm
although we have to say that was for the issue of the transfer of children. but it also prompted talks condemnation from western leaders talking about war crimes when it came to the allegations of summary executions of ukrainian civilians and things like if pain and boots are less listening to what we heard. if we go back to last year from the likes of us, secretary of state and the us president. all right, we'll try and bring that up later. we haven't got it, but i think you're familiar. we've run it in the last hour when we don't have those similar kinds of statements going in the case in gaza. does that translates into a continuing window and tolerance for, for these kinds of activities, shall we say that target civilians or the show you say the pressure is not enough
4:14 pm
for to stop the what the best them buy them cold in? just commit the environment. the pressure is not enough to stop using this circle, done bombs, the m 117, which are actually the us stop to using them since the 1st go 419-191-9912 the pressure is not enough to end this. the depth level of destruction, and that's on one end, on the other end, the comparison with ukraine, ukraine is a different for that. so it's a different for, it's a different scale of what we're talking about. the levels of casualties often not we don't, we don't know how many the dns is, just estimates in money. you put money over the day that it was invaded in, in february 2022. and by may, it was on the russian cold by may june, which was on the russian control. so we're talking in 2 months, the estimates over $75000.00. so so, so some estimates go as high as that. so we don't have confirmed the estimates in index levels visa, of course not these uh,
4:15 pm
estimate. so expectations the un security council meeting on october, the 31st phone calls will hud. a briefing from you and officials mentioning 9900 civilians killed in ukraine. so apparently that is the number we know so far, which is obviously significantly less than the numbers which the u. n. has been talk about in terms of gone. so yeah, this is the, the, the, the confirmed, the figures but the, again, that it's not the total figures and in the, the, the basic and then these are the figures from the liberated areas where you can actually track what happened about the, the, there is under occupation, i believe that the there will be a lot a lot more to talk about the in that the, i mentioned dental potential will crimes in ukraine. but the doctor does. uh, i think the, the, the, the main issue here is that the, the level of civilian the destruction and this is, is just extremely high for, for, for this type of full sets. and for this very small area,
4:16 pm
one of the main issues is the population density in gaza is so the population density in keyboard last is about 63, the province of keeping of the city of keith. it's about $63.00 people in each. it's clicking on me to in gaza before the war. it was $100.00 times. it was $6500.00 persons per square kilometer. and now it's probably doubled because of the, the, the id piece. one. we know that 1000000 700000 people were became internally displaced within it gives us north central themselves, which means that the population density has doubled over $13000.00 per square kilometers. anyway, you're going to shoot anyway, you're going to drop a bomb, is going to kill many innocent people. and these really operational doctrine so far is not taking this into account and is ignoring any international colds and international pressures to limit and, and, and if it's very heated these colds, i think it would be a very,
4:17 pm
very different way of wolfish wine. thanks so much on that offshore. now the world health organization says there are now no functional hospitals, a tool in the north of goss hospitals have been bombed. well, they've run out of medical supplies really, since they don't have any fuel. now as a result, it's difficult for any of the 2200000 people in gonzo who and effectively a was there and to get adequate and medical care. in the south of garza, there are a few functioning hospitals, but only a fraction of what. so once was richard peep, calling from the world health organization explains from geneva, it's only 9 out of $36.00 also. so these are far from functional and the whole got all of the saw there are actually no functional. so left and the, nor a likely what's the last one, but it's not a minimum function and still treat patients, but most amazing. it was a long way. uh and also hospital. so the hospital are still showing 3 and also
4:18 pm
thousands of displaced people. pat assigns red cross and says the ambulance center in giovanni and southern gaza resolved the siege and this continuous selling, putting everyone at risk and rendering this and to use this unfortunately, this is the 2nd day or teams at um, the ambulance on to the the products are under the crescent, i'm getting sent to the image about your artist 10 under pcs or centers as completely pcs. and there's artillery showing and sense are still there, he's running that is continuous since yesterday, along with gone plan from. is there any documentation, forces snipers, and there is no way anyone can go out of this filters. that the safety of our teams is asterisk. there is around 127 people who are trapped inside or ambulance centers, including panama,
4:19 pm
next volunteers at their families and the 22 injured person where the center is located as completely the injures. there is no way anyone can go out to defend to anyone is a trying to move out of that area is under the target of is there any snipers along with that opportunity? something that is not stopping. it's just continuous. however, we are still providing our medical services inside or medical post, which was established a month ago to continue providing medical services to the wounded people in the area. oh sure bad. yeah. which is under constant bombardments. unfortunately, as you just highlighted, now there is no lift, overt hospitals in north of casa a cosign brigade, saucers, alms wing climes of hit tel aviv with a barrel issue of rockets. they say it's in response to his right, the massive because in gaza, sirens sounded in tennessee for this, right?
4:20 pm
the security forces say the rocket intercepted by the end of the rockets were intercepted by the line dumb, and there were no casualties. and then smith joins us live from tel aviv. so what does the all small smoke like then the somebody those sirens when? so i'll say about an hour and a half ago, sending people running to the shelters and quite a lot shared by roger bro. kids came in, we understand that so much as the most of it about and so it's, you don't kids, at least those intercept said by israel vandalism, defense system. now, it's a surprising, really, that's $76.00 days now into the war. but how much is able to do this? but these rockets came in. now fragments fell on various parts of tel aviv on the metropolitan area. and we know that a rocket also fell into the sea near the jump for old port um,
4:21 pm
but uh its the heaviest box has been in recent weeks. more than 4000000 people in the tel aviv metropolitan area. all of them running for comfort, running for shelter when those sirens go off. it's incredibly disruptive, as you can imagine, that is the intention of, of how must cause some of the guys find there. okay, so these are kind of, i guess just been some like say and well, mind is a people that there is a, was still ongoing in gaza. all right, we'll leave with that. thanks so much, ben. it's miss this is riley forces continue tearing out daily rides. across the occupied west bank and the 3 vehicles entered several cities and towns including nablus invested. they have money on choose on thursday. they've rated homes and detained at least one palestinian investment him and fishes in ramallah in the occupied westbank island. the last time we spoke you said the news of more raids, what's going on now? well,
4:22 pm
we know that one person has been shot and killed kalia as the rate to the gun. and janine was essentially the consent and the people because they saw these really ami driving into the time. but then upon lee, they drove out. so you could understand the tension in the area. we've also had that for you matt, and have been arrested and occupied east jerusalem. also a number of check points. i've been closed, linking east, jerusalem to the west by just the last couple of hours as well. and you remember, we told you that there were 3 men who had been shot near bethlehem after the funeral there of someone who was killed on wednesday. while we spoken to the chairman of the council there. he says things are calm but tense and he's consent because the army is still surrounding the village. they have not pulled out. and the he says that the here that are sensually goulding, some of the people who went to the funeral. and he's one of the while that's com at the moment,
4:23 pm
this could well explode again into another level of violence. and we've also had about a number of incidents involving people who farm in new york supplied westbank festival . there was a, the army moved in with their builders and flattened 2 buildings where animals and feed was kept. and then not far from there. and this was happening near bethlehem. uh, there were 14 buildings and tents that were pulled down by the israelis as well. if that wasn't quite enough, settlers then broke into an area where tools were being kept and either stool or destroyed, what was being kept there. so you can see that there are on going tensions throughout the west bank. and this situation just seems to provoke one cycle after another. and it's very difficult if you're a palestinian trying to negotiate and navigate everyday life and then getting home
4:24 pm
at night. so i'm wondering if your time, your village, your house is going to be the next visited by the israelis to relieve with that. thanks so much on the official now. well, it is being killed in southern lebanon by is really sharing a sub in as many days. is riley cross border attacks have increased in recent weeks, striking further inside lebanon, approximately 50000 people from southern lebanon out displaced as a result of the fighting. has block continues to fire into northern this route, hitting the town that could be extra. mona was in a hole, those 10, this updates from southern lebanon on the cross border exchange of fire continues. it is intensifying israel, carrying out the series of air strikes the lebanese armed group, hezbollah, firing salvo of rockets. the towards is really military positions. the escalation is sporadic, but it's becoming more frequent and the scope of the attacks are widening. overnights as well as hits a target and
4:25 pm
a claim at the fact that's approximately 20 kilometers from the border quite far from the, from the battle ground in the 3 to 4 kilometer depth battle ground in, in, in southern lebanon. it seems that it could have been in retaliation for hezbollah, firing surface to air missiles. that force is really helicopters to move away from, from the border, from the border area. so both sides really showing their capabilities off their full military capabilities with showing capabilities, sending messages in the form of, of the parents if you like. because israel has been stepping up its threat saying that it will destroy beta root the lebanese capital and not just target has been life has, will, doesn't move away from the border. but hezbollah is saying that it will not stop it's attacks as long as, as well as a tax on garza continued, no matter what the cost and it has the house lost a lot of men in the past 11 weeks, a 114. and just in the past week,
4:26 pm
18 man and most of them were hit by drones. and so as well really relying on technology. so the conflict largely confined to the border, but intensifying center for their elders either. so they're loving on what time for a check of the why the with just now as well. so now is moving away from norway and sweden pulling in to finland. hey everyone. we'll talk more about that in one sec. but 1st, let's talk about the real risk of seeing some flooding in southern turkey and through the van. so countries like 11 on a route you could scoop up to a month's worth of rain within 24 to 48 hours. so that much rain, that fast will give us some flooding. okay, now to that snow, it's being whipped around all sides of the baltic sea. here i think you could see a 5 to 10 centimeters still windy through ireland, britain, denmark, and really a good portion of germany. gus here looking to exceed 80 kilometers per hour, and oh yeah, quite a bit of snow coming to the alps as well. on friday now it remains settled,
4:27 pm
but wendy's still through the valley. eric islands here and that's pulling in 2 parts of algeria and didn't easy as well. so let's go to africa right now. the entire co sign of libya's under a weather alert for wind gusts. here and waves off the coast could reach about 23, maybe even 4 meters high. otherwise we got to watch out for some dust storms in gun it, especially northern gunnar. and it's been hot, dry and windy in south africa, so we're dealing with a wildfire not too far away from cape town, but some severe storms in the east or so i had an al jazeera y, u, k, healthcare workers, all protesting outside the headquarters of the us 5 firm in london and the social media company mentor and accused of censoring palestinian content on his platforms, facebook and instagram, the
4:28 pm
thought provoking on sundays. but the patient doesn't have time to wait for the extremely unfortunate. but there are no quick wins and events or research hard hitting interviews. do you feel like america is the best thing to do since these days, or is it just a different full? i think the demography of the process facing realities do you feel that the fraction is already starting the g 7 in the us on one side showing that in the breaks on the other? i assume there is a huge release of that to happen to the stores on tools to how does air frank assessments to the problem is that is there is allowed to be outside that. and so it's international that's a be the is the fact that is it and has declared war on okay. parts people informed opinions, the medical infrastructure of an entire society has been completely destroy the people who will feel that destruction 1st and most be the women and children inside story on al jazeera, the,
4:29 pm
the, [000:00:00;00] the, you're watching out just the time to recap those headlines. witnesses say is right, the forces killed 11 on the palestinians in front of the families before rounding up women and children and attacking the view and is demanding an investigation into the elizabeth icon tuesday in gaza city, which it says could constitute a will crime. the world health organization and the palestinian right cousins is sounding the alarm about the state of hospitals and gaza. w i chose says there are
4:30 pm
no functional hospitals left in the north, leaving 800000 ton of experience deprived of medical services. the assembly gates from us is dwayne claims to hit tel aviv with a barrel issue of rockets, a sites in response to his writing master, cuz it's very security forces, say the rocket split into set that's how of israel is war on. gaza keeps rising, but via another day the united nations security council cannot agree on the wording for a resolution. cooling finance, the blog, check this. this row has killed 20000 palestinians in 76 days. in october the us veto. the un security council resolution calling for humanitarian pauses in the fighting. well, that was off the 11 days of his riley bombardment has killed 3478 palestinians. in november, the council finally passed the resolution calling for
4:31 pm
a humanitarian pools, but not a seas fine at the time the death toll was it more than 11000. earlier this month for us again, vito, the un security council resolution bank, while almost all member states demanding an immediate cease $517000.00 palestinians . would that like this round of discussions about the resolution cooling for a cease fire have been delayed 7 times in 3 days. in those 3 days, $547.00 men, women and children were killed for michael spy, god is professor of economics of the role holloway college university of london. each, as every casualty, counts, a non governmental organization that provides rank holds and specifics on victims of conflict. all right, so good to have you with assessment. first of all,
4:32 pm
how does it the casualty numbers in this conflict compare with other conflicts we've seen as well. so if we look at the history of recent conflicts in gaza, i would say that this one, the killing is proceeding at a much faster pace. and it's also less discriminating in the service that the percentage of women and children amongst the dead are higher than it's been in earlier rounds of, of conflict. it's also a proceeding killing at a faster rate than, than what we've seen, for example, in, in the crane. and of course, the ukraine conflict has been going on much longer and so has racked up much higher totals for, for people killed. and how accurate the
4:33 pm
numbers that have been coming out so far from garza as well. i think the numbers have been incredible. as most of your viewers probably know, the 1000 ministry of health released a data file in late october that gave detailed information including names, sexes, and agents that people killed and included in the back data file personally were national id numbers, which are actually the numbers that are provided originally by because really is which, which, which means that this is a very open and transparent accounting of the dad at least up until the end of october. because because nobody providing that kind of detailed information. and anyone including this really is contract to see, for example are, these are, are these real people?
4:34 pm
there are other reasons for believing that the information is credible. i do wish that the ministry of health would release another crown of data so that we could look in more detail. but what's happened since, since late october? we've just been getting numerical updates since then. but i don't have any specific reasons to call those numerical updates. and the question, is it likely that the numbers, in fact, could go even further north, given the reports and claims that there's still people trapped all bodies trapped onto the rubble? yes, that's very much a possibility. um the, the ministry of health said specifically that they're, they're only able to include people who pass through the hospital system. and you know, anyone course that the item, their body hasn't been discovered. it couldn't be included in, in such
4:35 pm
a system and it seems likely, but there is substantial numbers that those, those people so, so yes, i would say it's rather likely that the, the actual numbers are, are higher than what we've seen so far. we've heard from a number of international human rights organizations calling on referencing what they call an indiscriminate unlawful attacks. agnes telemachus extra general amnesty international use the reference to the cooling for an to how the transfer of arms that could be used to commit unlawful attacks. we've heard from human rights watch the discussion about what these numbers mean from your perspective, the high level of civilian casualties, what they're seeing does that raise also serious concern and question about
4:36 pm
deliberate targeting of civilian targets. so i don't know about deliberate targeting, um, what, what i would say is, is that at least based on the late october data file set that i finalized on that of what we found me along with some professor daniel silverman of carnegie mellon university. that, that the age and sex distribution of the people listed as doug in that data file matches pretty well. the age and sex distribution for the population of cause as a whole. um, aside from us rather small from, we're a little bit extra relative to numbers in the population for males between the ages of 20 and 40. so little bit more males 20 to 40. then what you see in the,
4:37 pm
in the population as a whole. but otherwise, quite closely matching down. so what i'm saying was that it looks like at least to be early stage of, of the war is that the distribution of the people killed was almost like a random sample from the population from from which is this cron, which suggests fairly indiscriminate bombing that doesn't mean that it's deliberate, that they're, that they're purposely killing with women children but, but uh, but at least the results. so, you know, suggest that there's, there's not a lot of discrimination between fighters and civilians. all right, thank you so much for sharing. your thoughts are on that. thank you. now hundreds of health workers of gathered in front of the headquarters of pallets here
4:38 pm
in central london. the us tech johnson spies specializes in a power mid free, and surveillance technology in providing services to these by the government, which is being used to persecute palestinians. and the company was awarded a $413000000.00 contract, 5 and a chest england last month to create a new dolphin management system. so the guy go, has more of how was half down the side. the british headquarters of the us, china advised me to see how much it's supposed to all the former us president donald trump. protesting against this company has been awarded a 100000000 dollars by any chance england, confidential patient's information in the system to the states. the platforms are concerned as the fox is
4:39 pm

care system around london. human rights watch says meta has silenced post in support of palestine on instagram and facebook. it says the suppression is systemic, and global amounting to what seems to be the largest wave of censorship of contends about palestine to date. the rights group reviewed $1050.00 cases of online sentence to ship for more than 60 countries that were launch the english navy, all of them featured peaceful content and supports of palestine. the organization says that in more than 300 cases uses were unable to appeal methods, removal of content or accounts effectively inside identified 6 persons of censorship. content removal, suspension or permanent disabling of accounts and restrictions on liking, commenting, sharing or re posting. so also found restrictions on tagging or following other accounts. limited use of system method of features and shadow binding uses,

which means a significant dropping the visibility over use this post stories and the count. how much you have a dean as an independent journalist who joins us now from to and it's good to have you with us. so i mean, ultimately this report by human rights watch. what does it add up to for the ability of the world to hit palestinian voices? thanks. i mean it's good to be with you. i mean that's precisely the problem here. what is most concern to me is how meta is and even the applying the vaguely defined community standards to suppress content, frankly that's documenting is really crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing. while at the same time, allowing a lot of the accounts from israel's own government as well as media organizations or individuals. these organizations to share posts at themselves, either committing and documenting war crimes. in the case of soldiers when they, you know, bond schools un. ready it isn't hospitals or more troubling is there is this,
4:42 pm
as you know, deliberate media blackout on the ground international journal is not being let in and you know, the targeted assassination of journalists and their families in gaza. so, you know, what's happening here is, is troubling. mostly because meta is not taking into consideration, it seems not only been use wordiness of this genocide or campaign against the palestinians in garza, but also the conditions with which journalists are operating. and you know, it's equally important certainly that when men of policies are enforced like any need, you know, organization, then it's transparently enforced. you know, that means that need, for example, that i'm notified when there is a violation. and that i have access as a journalist to my account start as the top and i mean fully aware of any policy violations before they take action such as the action they took just over a month ago, where i started receiving hundreds of emails from people who follow me saying that
4:43 pm
they received a problem whenever they tried to engage with my account. then said i am repeating the publishing false information. so it's, it's, it seems as though this is all a compounding be already very worried about the size of the you said you received these emails from, from people who became of wes right to the total cost through the process. what happens when you become aware as a palestinian user of social media, that some kind of restriction has been applied to? how easy is it for you to address that to clarify that. and i should also ask you, since you mentioned, you know, you were accused of repeatedly posting false information. well, you was this a wrong accusation. how did you clear your top if it was, you know, just take us through some of the details. sure. certainly that's a great question. i mean the reality is but i, unlike many others,
4:44 pm
i'm fortunate to have certain relationships. ready the representatives who work in public policy and that, and that's how i eventually peered it up. and to answer your question, if i was in fact repeatedly publish the false information, why did they then reverse the decision as they have reversed many decisions in which they've removed, oppose without notifying me or without giving the due appeal. so know i had a 99.6 percent accuracy rate and they were to pose like all journalists, i mean, i'm sure you know everyone makes mistakes. the question is, what do you do when you make a mistake and to make a mistake on 2 posts? um, how do you know 500 posts? i don't think it warrants repeatedly publishing false information, but for your viewers, i think it's important to mention, for example, just the other day. there have been instances, for example, where a post of mine showing a father in garza morning, his daughter inside the medical facility. the polls gets removed right then without any warning, i received a notification. as i showed that it went against the company's guidelines. when i
4:45 pm
try to click on the bottom to appeal the decision, that thing doesn't work fine. i because i'm fortunate to have these relationships, contact someone at meadow and you know, very soon they say, oh, actually it's been restored, it was a mistake, you know, and it's fine. they make mistakes, we make mistakes, we're human, we all make mistakes. but there's a difference between a mistake and a deliberate pattern of censorship, not just in this the last war, but as you know, in 2021 and dating back is instagram and met. i have admitted admitted to censorship and that's why i think the human rights watch report in terms of its framing is that, you know, it's a broken promise on there. how under, on there have a, you know, i back to the post a if i were, if i may just briefly the next morning i woke up and i saw that the same content had been restored. it was, you know, flagged and then restored. except this time it was accompanied by a warning that my account may be permanently deleted. so for the record, the post but simply of a palestinian man, as i said,
4:46 pm
hugging his daughter who had been killed by his really extracts, she was shrouded in a white sheet inside of a hospital. and you know, i, i am aware of their guidelines and their terms, so i read it and i knew it didn't violate. so, yes, i mean, i mean, what's happening here is, you know, when they do, you have to also understand as an independent journalist when they issue that prompt, notice that this account has repeatedly posted false information that was reviewed by independent fact checkers, so on so forth. it's an accurate and misleading, and particularly damaging to the pursuit of truth, not just my credibility in a war that is minor with this information that's being published and disseminated by news organizations like m p. r, like cnn, like many others, and by their journalists. and i'm not trying to name and shame people here, but let's be frank and candid when they publish these uh, you know, politicians from israel or what have you that are, that are disseminating big stories. bank news,
4:47 pm
beer knowingly doing that. and why are they not being sanctioned? my only question is, why are these accounts not being sanctioned? in the same way i am, we've seen, of course, is right. the officials make claims showing on social media clips of, of so, of lebanese phill, i'm explaining that this relates to palestinians. faking injuries and gaza. we've heard is ready. officials come out with statements in which they indicated to a no such thing as a civilian population. that's in a central unimed. busy all and what's happening in garza, so we don't, we don't hear about at least this kind of restriction being placed on them. but what we are hearing about according to men's rights, which is shadow banding aids. and it just explained to us, if you are not lucky enough to have a relationship, as perhaps you did briefly, what can you do if you're a shadow by and you might not even be aware of it, right?
4:48 pm
just briefly. yeah. yeah, no it's, it's, you're certainly right. it's very impossible. i don't know if that's intentional or not, but you know, your account can get deep prioritized. it can not appear in people's deeds. and that's how people come to the conclusion that they are. in fact, shadow bandon, just for the sake of brevity, i do want to say i got another notification. the other day that i collaborated with an account on instagram, we found god that showing a group of israeli soldiers filming themselves, eating potato chips casually, while humiliating and abusing palestinians. but they detained, stripped and blindfolded ends, are needed and occupied, westbank. it was removed and this is the 3rd time that instagram is automatically removed. a post of mine and to your point about shadow banning sometimes unless you get the notification which in many instances i and others i've been talking to don't get the notification product, you know, medic claims and i would. yeah, i could go ahead. no, no, no, i'll just let who wrap up on that we are running out of time, but we just finished the sentence all this to say instagram,
4:49 pm
finds it problematic. that in this instance, i'm sharing that video. and the capacity of a journal is trying to document a genocidal or in which journalists are being murdered and unprecedented numbers. and you have the soldiers themselves, who are choosing to document themselves, celebrating the humiliation and abuse. are able to continue recording. all kinds of, you know, offensive videos and all this, sammy joking and eating chips, you know, wildly as soldiers of a army that is using starvation as a genocide, a weapon against the policy and in people. so to me what's most troubling is just very briefly, this attempts to censor accounts, whether lawyers, artists, or journalists that are connecting with each other online platforms. they are also using things like disabling to collaborate or to rise allows us to regional audiences. so whether it's delivered or deliver it or not, i hope them at a take seriously people's concerns about their policy. you know, i thank so much, i don't you have it being the
