Still, fires and plumes of smoke could be seen in several areas of Tel Aviv, while explosions were also reported in Jerusalem.

Images and videos verified by Middle East Eye showed apartment blocks in Tel Aviv’s suburbs and the nearby city of Ramat Gan almost completely destroyed and the wreckage of several vehicles among the debris.

    I’m done pretending that the Nazi regime of Israel and the 3/4 of a century of oppression and slaughter of Palestinians deserves my sympathy. A lot of the immigrants living as Israelis killed and tortured the people they stole the land from. I say this as a Jewish immigrant whose family experienced actual antisemitism. I say this as the grandson of a Russian military commander who was stuck in the blockade of st. Petersburg when the Nazis starved and bombarded the Russian people for 2 years. My experience and knowledge of history is precisely why my ethnicity cannot be allowed to perpetrate the horrors against Palestinians.
