Day 236 roundtable: Israel burns Rafah; Jabaliya fights back

Nora Barrows-Friedman The Electronic Intifada Podcast 29 May 2024

Scenes of unspeakable horror have emerged from Israel’s repeated attacks on the tents of displaced Palestinians in Rafah, while its war of extermination against the civilian population rages across Gaza.

This has prompted global condemnation, even from some of Israel’s closest allies, but the slaughter isn’t stopping. The Biden administration continues to arm and support Tel Aviv’s genocide while shedding crocodile tears for its Palestinian victims.

We were joined by Dr. Tarek Loubani to talk about the medical catastrophe across Gaza.

Tarek is an emergency room physician based in Ontario. He regularly worked at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City and is the director of Glia, a medical aid organization that provides care and medical equipment for vulnerable and conflict-torn populations all over the world.

On 7 October, the Israeli military implemented a controversial order called the Hannibal Directive, which allows its forces to kill Israelis in order to prevent them from being taken captive.

This week Asa Winstanley examined why there is such widespread acceptance of this abhorrent practice and why so many Israelis seem willing to sacrifice their loved ones on the altar of Zionism – and sometimes even themselves too.

Over the past week, there has been no let up in the fierce resistance to Israel’s genocidal onslaught. Jon Elmer took a look at the latest news from the resistance across Gaza, with a focus on Rafah and Jabaliya refugee camp.
