Peace activist Vivian Silver killed in Hamas massacre on 7 October

The Israeli-Canadian peace activist Vivian Silver was killed in the attack on Israel by the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas on 7 October.

Peace activist Vivian Silver is dead.

Whoever murders the allies of the Palestinian civil society in Gaza is not the friend of the Palestinian people!

The 74-year-old's body has been found, the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem announced. Silver was at times thought to be among the hostages taken to the Gaza Strip. She last lived in Kibbutz Beeri. The German ambassador to Israel, Mr Seibert, called the news of Silver's death "devastating".

Silver campaigned for peace with the Palestinians and was honoured with numerous awards for her work. She launched aid programmes for residents of the Gaza Strip and helped them to receive medical treatment in Israel. In 2014, she was involved in the founding of the peace movement "Women Wage Peace", which now has more than 45,000 members.

Her friends, family, and supporters all agree that Israel's current attack on Gaza is not what Silver would want. 

Hatred is only the road to destruction.

Always remember not to confuse cause and effect..... whoever sows wind will reap storm.

Hamas is the enemy of Palestinian civil society in Gaza and of the Palestinian people.

Hamas has challenged Israel, what did you think would happen afterwards?

I don't really like what's happening but it's all caused in the name of what Hamas did.

But I am not playing a role here, time will judge what is happening, but what happened on 7th October has no room for interpretation, it is a crime against humanity in the name of Hamas. An atrocity equal to any war crime in the history of mankind.

Best of all, it has been very well documented by the hate-filled ideologically entrenched crimes of hamas and their helpers in their self-absorption. Welcome to the prosecution cell if you're lucky.

International aid workers from World Central Kitchen killed in Israeli airstrike

A World Central Kitchen team has been hit by Israeli fire in the Gaza Strip. Five people died, including helpers from Poland, Australia and the UK.

Israel had a right to self-defence, the key word being " had past tense".

What else must happen to the eternal back and forth chasing of the Palestinian civilian population for supposedly necessary measures or, to put it clearly, military attacks with more and more civilian deaths!

israel is doing itself a disservice with this strategy, it is creating even more terrorists and driving extremism in the arab countries even further.

Pressure creates against pressure physically law. It's only stupid if you have caused the waves that are coming your way.

The massacre on 7 October was cruel and despicable and represents the sick ideology of hamas and its contract killers. The murder, rape and kidnapping of innocent people is not a fight for freedom but a war crime.

Never forget who is responsible for the consequences - the murderers and those behind the hamas massacre.

However, retaliation on this scale is no longer justifiable and must be stopped immediately.

Stop the Gaza war immediately, it is against international law.

The UN Security Council has been given a stark warning about the consequences of inaction in Gaza: in its latest report to the UN Security Council, the United Nations (UN) warns that at least 576,000 people in Gaza are at risk of famine as a result of the conflict.

The UN Security Council met under the auspices of Resolution 2417: representatives of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the UN World Food Programme (WFP) presented the findings of their report. The report highlights how warfare, including the impact of the Israeli military blockade before 7 October 2023, is preventing people in Gaza from accessing food. This includes Israel's far-reaching restrictions on access and delivery of humanitarian and commercial goods, as well as targeted attacks on aid convoys. Humanitarian aid and access to the population across Gaza is also restricted due to the denial of security guarantees and the ongoing blockade of water and electricity and bombardments. The UN also emphasised the impact of the attacks on the food production infrastructure: due to the destruction of agricultural land and numerous forced displacements, fields have been abandoned and food production is limited.

While the entire population in Gaza does not have sufficient access to food, the situation in northern Gaza is particularly catastrophic. According to the WFP, one in six children under the age of two now suffers from wasting. 155,000 pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers do not have access to sufficient, nutritious food. Malnutrition has a devastating and intergenerational impact on vulnerable populations, including long-term effects on children's cognitive and physical development and well-being, as well as compromising their future quality of life.

Resolution 2417, adopted unanimously in 2018, is intended to prompt the UN Security Council to act when there is a risk of conflict-related famine for the civilian population. It strengthens existing international law, according to which starving the civilian population is a war crime. However, despite constant warnings of the risks and contrary to the UN Security Council's own resolutions, it remains inactive - as a result of the use of the veto power of the permanent members. At the beginning of the month, the United States vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire for the third time.

The signatory non-governmental organisations are calling on the UN Security Council to urgently adopt a resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. This is the only way to curb the famine in Gaza and protect the civilian population, including by preventing a military operation in Rafah, which would have catastrophic consequences for the civilian population and bring relief efforts to a complete standstill.

At the same time, humanitarian aid for Palestinians must now be massively increased, which will be essential even if the fighting stops. This includes continuing to support the vital work of UNRWA and partner organisations to help the Palestinian civilian population survive one of the worst humanitarian disasters of our time. The role of UNRWA cannot be replaced. The approval and renewal of visas for humanitarian workers must also be accelerated.

The UN Security Council must ensure the implementation of the resolutions on Gaza, which call for unrestricted, rapid, safe and unhindered access for humanitarian aid organisations to all of Gaza. In addition, the UN Security Council has a crucial role to play in ensuring compliance with the judgement of the International Court of Justice and upholding the consistent application of international law.
