Jadi had gone to al-Awda Hospital with his wife, who was giving birth to their first child.

According to the Wafa news agency, while waiting for his wife, he decided to check in on his colleagues who were outside the hospital in the vehicle.

His brother, photographer Omar al-Jadi, documented the moments after the Israeli strike hit the vehicle.

“Guys, Ayman is inside. Ayman, my brother, is martyred,” he shouted in the video as he helplessly filmed the burning van.

    As a Jewish (living in “Israel”) person I have regularly been called antisemitic and even fascist for saying “hey maybe we shouldnt be killing children”

      As a German born two generations later than our country’s atrocities versus Jewish people and the world, I am absolutely and without a doubt firm in my support for the right of existence of the state of Israel (I just think they should have taken the land from the Germans, or offered the Palestinians part of Germany, after all, the Germans were the insane mass murdering fuckheads that caused this clusterfuck). That said, I also always sympathized with the plight of the Palestinian people.

      Being fully aware of our historical responsibility to stand with the people of Israel, I can say with absolute certainty that the current regime of Israel is led by monsters who commit war crimes faster than we can count them, and that all those monsters should be dragged to the ICC in The Hague in chains, and hopefully put in prison for the rest of their lives. Netanyahu is and always has been first and foremost a career criminal who has sought nothing but his own gains, and when the Israeli judiciary goes after him, he finds ways to start wars to distract from his own corruption. Literally washing his hands in the blood of the Palestinian (and Lebanese) people.

      The last time I saw real progress in the Israeli/Palestinian peace process, was under Yitzhak Rabin - and he was murdered by a rightwing extremist Jewish settler.

      Having seen films of the aftermath of German atrocities, films that made me gag and shed tears in horror and in sympathy with the victims, I believe that “never again!” is inextricably linked to fighting Jewish extremism and Israeli atrocities against Palestinians, because both of them fuel antisemitism, and the misdirected anger of the families of victims will again lead to senseless slaughter, typically of innocent Israeli citizens.

      You could say that zionism is anti-semitic at its core.

      This horror has been a blood feud since the foundation of the state of Israel - and the only way out of this is to STOP THE %^#$% KILLING! No matter which side feels that it’s current “their turn” to get revenge.

        No Ethnostate has a right to exist. The right way to tackle the rampant antisemitism in Europe would have been (and still is) to enshrine protections that guarantee civil rights to Jewish people and not limit the amount of refugees seeking asylum.

        Zionism is certainly anti-Semitic at it’s core, it other-izes Jewish people, and justifies the violent settler colonialim of Israel as in the defense of all Jewish people, which only serves to further fuel genuine Antisemitism at the expense of Jewish people globally.

        Zionism is, of course, inherently fascist. The ethnic cleansing of the native people of Palestine has always been fundamental to the ideology.

        Even under Rabin, there was no interest in Palestinian statehood. Rabin was assassinated because even the extremely minor of a semblance of autonomy was too far for the right-wing of Israeli politics. Oslo was ultimately used to justify settlements in the West Bank while under a guise of legitimacy of ‘working towards peace’.

        Peace Process and Solution

        Both Hamas and Fatah have agreed to a Two-State solution based on the 1967 borders for decades. Oslo and Camp David were used by Israel to continue settlements in the West Bank and maintain an Apartheid, while preventing any actual Two-State solution

        Hamas proposed a full prisoner swap as early as Oct 8th, and agreed to the US proposed UN Permanent Ceasefire Resolution. Additionally, Hamas has already agreed to no longer govern the Gaza Strip, as long as Palestinians receive liberation and a unified government can take place.

        Oslo was used as a land grab while continuing to deny Palestinians human rights

        (Oslo Accord Sources: MEE, NYT, Haaretz, AJ).

      Yeah, before my test of insanity was to say “Palestinians deserve human rights”

      Nothing about.that statement is controversial, but you spot the bigot if someone disagrees
