Hypothermia: Freezing to death. Gazans are fighting with severe cold, hunger.



 1. Children Freezing to Death in Gaza: 

On December 26, Gaza’s health ministry confirmed four infant deaths from hypothermia within 72 hours due to severe cold in makeshift tents.


2. Sila’s Tragic Death: Mahmoud Al-Fasih’s two-week-old daughter, Sila, froze to death despite being breastfed and snuggled for warmth. The family awoke to find her lifeless in the bitter cold, with no proper shelter or heating.


3. Uninhabitable Living Conditions: Thousands of displaced Palestinians live in tents that offer little protection from extreme weather

Water seeps into shelters, and families sleep on sand amid freezing temperatures.


4. Healthcare Crisis: Hospitals report rising cases of hypothermia in children. Malnourished mothers struggle to breastfeed, and formula shortages worsen the crisis

Premature and vulnerable babies are at highest risk.


5. Dr. Al-Zaharna’s Death: The bitter cold claimed the life of 28-year-old Dr. Ahmad Al-Zaharna, who died in a tent after being displaced for over a year.


6. International Double Standards: Medical professionals in Gaza highlight the disparity in global response, noting that similar tragedies elsewhere would provoke widespread outrage and action.


7. Calls for Action: Doctors plead for an end to the war and a return to homes, emphasizing that children’s survival requires shelter, warmth, and basic necessities.

Hajo Meyer: Auschwitz, Zionism, and the Courage to Say “Never Again Means Never Again”

Hajo Meyer did not speak from ideology. He spoke from Auschwitz . Born in Germany in 1924, Meyer survived the Nazi machinery of annihilation and emerged with a conviction that would shape the rest of his life: the Holocaust was not a Jewish lesson alone—it was a human one . To betray that universality, he believed, was to betray the dead. Late in life, Meyer became one of the most unsettling voices in Jewish ethical discourse —not because he denied Jewish suffering, but because he refused to let that suffering be weaponized . The Moral Core of The End of Judaism (2005) In his seminal book, The End of Judaism: An Ethical Tradition Betrayed , Meyer argues that Judaism is not defined by land, power, or ethno-nationalism , but by an ethical tradition rooted in justice for the vulnerable. One of his central claims is uncompromising: “ Judaism is not a bloodline or a state . It is an ethical tradition. When that tradition is abandoned , Judaism ends — regardless of who claims ...

When the World Gives Permission: From Gaza’s Rubble to the West Bank’s Maps

  There are moments when history does not announce itself with explosions—but with paperwork. On paper, Israel’s approval of 19 new settlements in the occupied West Bank is framed as an administrative decision. In reality, it is a cartographic act of violence: borders redrawn without consent, futures erased without headlines, and international law treated as background noise. This is not an isolated policy choice. It is the logical continuation of a world that watched Gaza burn—and learned nothing. A Timeline of Forewarning, Ignored December 11, 2025 Israel’s security cabinet quietly approves 19 new Jewish settlements across the occupied West Bank . The decision remains largely under wraps. December 20–24, 2025 The news becomes public. Fourteen countries—including the UK, France, Germany, Canada, and Japan—issue a joint appeal urging Israel to reverse the decisio n, warning it violates international law and undermines any remaining possibility of a two-state solution. Isr...

Starving Gaza: How Silence Is Enabling a Genocide in Real Time

  Gaza: Starving a Nation in Broad Daylight — and the World Must Act Now Seven weeks. Zero aid. Two million lives on the brink. Gaza is not just suffering — it is being starved. Deliberately. In full view of the world, an entire population is being pushed into famine, death, and despair. No humanitarian aid or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for over seven agonizing weeks. This is now the longest closure the Gaza Strip has ever faced — a man-made catastrophe unfolding before our eyes. The evidence is clear and horrifying: All 25 WFP-supported bakeries in Gaza have been forced to shut down. No wheat. No fuel. No bread. WFP food parcels — intended to last two weeks — have been completely exhausted. Safe drinking water has run dry , leaving families to scavenge scraps to burn just to cook a basic meal. Food prices have exploded by up to 1,400%. Hospitals are collapsing without medicine, electricity, or clean water . And yet, just beyond Gaza’s sealed borders, h...

De dollarization a nightmare for global power elite.

" First and foremost, the weakening of the U.S. dollar would begin if Saudi Arabia accepted local currencies for oil trade. If Saudi Arabia demands that other countries pay in local currencies only, then demand for the U.S. dollar would dip drastically. The move could lead to the dollar facing a depreciation in the international forex and currency markets . A weak dollar would make imported goods more expensive in the United States and potentially impact the overall U.S. economy. Secondly , other nations will begin to diversify their reserves and accumulate other currencies apart from the U.S. dollar . The development would increase demand for other local currencies and put them in direct competition with the dollar. Central Banks around the world will keep reserves of all currencies and commodities like gold, making the USD dip. Thirdly , and in conclusion, Saudi Arabia might not make such a decision as their currency, the Riyal, is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Therefore, if the ...

💔 One Eye for Gaza: Hannah Thomas and the Price of Speaking Truth

🖋️ By Malik Mukhtar 📍 ainnbeen.blogspot.com | 🗓️ June 29, 2025 She stood on the pavement—Hannah Thomas, lawyer, activist, former Greens candidate. She stood—holding no weapon, only a banner and a conscience. She stood—outside a factory that allegedly helps plate the steel for F-35 jets now raining hell on Gaza. And for that—Australian police slammed her to the ground. Now, she may never see from her right eye again. Let that sentence burn into your mind: “She may lose her sight—for standing against genocide.” 🇵🇸 In Gaza, Eyes Are Lost Forever In Gaza, there are no surgeons left for eyes. Eyes are buried beneath concrete. Eyes were starved shut. Eyes were blinded by phosphorus, smoke, dust. Children in Gaza have forgotten what it means to look up without fear. And still, the bombs fall. From October 7, 2023 to now, tens of thousands dead—many torn apart by American-made weapons, polished and prepped by foreign contractors. The livestream genocide has not stopped. The...
