Dozens killed and thousands flee as Israel shrinks ‘humanitarian zone’ in Gaza
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed and thousands more forced to flee after Israel launched a fresh ground assault against what it said were Hamas targets in the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced Monday that it was reducing the size of its so-called “humanitarian zone,” ordering Palestinians to evacuate from eastern neighborhoods of Khan Younis due to intelligence that Hamas had embedded in the area.
CNN witnessed exhausted and angry Palestinians fleeing Khan Younis, once Gaza’s second-biggest city. As they left, they expressed anger not only at Israel but at Hamas and even other Arab states.
The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) slammed the evacuation order Tuesday as “confusing” and said it “gave no time for civilians to know from which areas they were required to leave or where they should go.”
The Israeli ground incursion in Khan Younis follows similar operations in Shujayah in the north and parts of central Gaza, where military units have reentered areas to prevent Hamas from reestablishing a presence.
The death toll from the operation continued to rise on Tuesday, as the Hamas-run government media office said 89 people had been killed and 263 injured so far, with nearly 200 buildings bombed.
World Court Finds Israel Responsible for Apartheid
The International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, August 27, 2018. © 2018 Mike Corder/AP Photo
(New York) – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an advisory opinion on July 19, 2024, with significant consequences for human rights protections in Palestine under Israel’s 57-year occupation. The opinion stems from a December 2022 request by the United Nations General Assembly to the court to consider the legal consequences of Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
The following quote can be attributed to Tirana Hassan, Human Rights Watch Executive Director:
"In a historic ruling the International Court of Justice has found multiple and serious international law violations by Israel towards Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including, for the first time, finding Israel responsible for apartheid. The court has placed responsibility with all states and the United Nations to end these violations of international law. The ruling should be yet another wake up call for the United States to end its egregious policy of defending Israel’s oppression of Palestinians and prompt a thorough reassessment in other countries as well."

The problem is the perception that all soldiers in japanese army are Japanese.
Another good observation on Low SES and Cruelity and lack of empathyIt should never be forgotten that the Taiwanese n Koreans who served in the nip army were more cruel than the nips themselves and funny that they never faced persecution after the war ..
Taiwanese Guards at POW Camps
Lin De-hua (林德華), World War Two vet and keeper of war records at
Taichung's War Shrine (台中寶學寺)
In literature regarding the topic, much has been made about the brutality of Taiwanese guards at the POW camps located in Taiwan and other places across Southeast Asia during World War II. The camps in Taiwan mainly held British and Commonwealth troops captured with the fall of Singapore in February 1942. A handful of Americans also ended up here, shipped in from the Philippines after they went down in April 1942. I'll put up a few accounts of what was happening to the POWs:
"We christened [the Taiwanese guards] the 'Runabouts' or 'Goons.' They seemed to be the lowest type in the army. Very young, they jumped at the commands of the lowliest [of] Japanese privates, who did not hesitate to slap them in the face. Face slapping seemed to be allowed from officer down through NCOs to privates in the Japanese Army. The Formosans were below privates and as we soon learnt, we were at the end of the line . . . These young 'Runabouts' reveled in their power, and they loved to rush into the hut, trying to catch prisoners too slow in bowing and coming to attention." - Jack Edwards, British POW at the Kinkaseki (金瓜石) and Hsintien (新店) camps
"They certainly went to great lengths to please their masters; one way in which this manifested itself was their treatment of us, the prisoners. They had the right to beat us, and this they did at the least provocation. They were like dangerous children attempting to ape their dangerous parents." - Arthur Titherington, British POW at the Kinkaseki (金瓜石) and Hsintien (新店) camps
"The 'Runabouts' were also given nicknames: 'The Christian" . . . Rampu or 'Lampu,' because one day he bashed all of us while pointing to a lamp, Rampu (he was an ugly vicious character who seemed to grunt instead of talk) and 'Scarface' or 'The Mad Carpenter,' because he had an old scar on his face, and was in charge of the prisoners assigned to carpentry repairs (he had a violent temper and a vicious punch, as I found to my cost in the first days)." - Jack Edwards
"[Taiwanese guards] were just as cruel. They emulated the Japs very well. The guards would strike you for the most trivial things. You had to stand at attention while they hit your head with their fist. If you didn't, trying to dodge it, then you'd end up with a rifle butt on your head or on the ground while getting kicked. I saw them murder a man, hit [him] on the head with a sword scabbard -- he died that night from the wounds." - Jack Butterworth, British POW at the Kinkaseki (金瓜石) and Hsintien (新店) camps
"In April, 1943 that changed [at the POW camp in Sandakan, Borneo] with the arrival of Formosan (now Taiwan) guards. The Formosans, like the Koreans in other camps, were brutal . . . My gang would be working and then would be suddenly told to stop. The men would then be stood with their arms outstretched horizontally, shoulder high, facing the sun without hats. The guards would be formed into two sections, one standing back with rifles and the others doing the actual beating. They would walk along . . . and smack us underneath the arms, across the ribs and back. They would give each man a couple of bashes -- if they whimpered or flinched they would get more." - POW, name not recorded
It seems officers interned in the various camps also suffered. Major General Jonathan Wainwright of the US, who was left behind by a fleeing Douglas MacArthur to surrender the Philippines, was for a while at a camp in Pingtung. Dealing with diarrhea one day, he tried to make a dash for the latrine. Almost there, a Taiwanese guard called him to attention and scolded him for not bowing. As a member of the cavalry, Wainwright had become bow-legged, so much so that his legs "looked like warped bamboo" (Daws, Gavan. Prisoners of the Japanese: POWs of World War II in the Pacific. 97). Taking note, the guard jabbed at them with his bayonet and began to laugh. When Wainwright tried to hold his knees together, his feet splayed out. Amused, the guard jammed his legs together and let go. With a scrunched up face, the American general was forced to bear these antics, all the while struggling not to dirty his pants.
Were these acts simply the expected consequences of war? War-atrocity investigators did not seem to think so. In 1945-46, many of the Runabouts were themselves incarcerated at the very POW camps where the shenanigans occurred while evidence was being collected to unknot the story. All told, 173 Taiwanese individuals, including many of the POW-camp guards, were charged with war crimes. Of the 173, 26 were executed for their conduct.
In trying to figure out why Taiwanese guards behaved as they did (as part of my master's thesis), I talked to Lin De-hua (pictured above), a World War II veteran himself and keeper of records at Taichung's war shrine. The following is what I came away with:
1. Taiwanese conscripts, as Edwards points out, were at the bottom of the food chain. The pressure of their situation on occasion brought out the worst in them. Beating up on POWs served as a kind of release.
2. Take this job and shove it: Taiwanese conscripts serving in Taiwan did not receive pay. The guards blamed the POWs. Simply put, no POWs meant "bye bye, crummy job."
3. The guards saw the POWs as an obstacle. They were the reason the guards could not return to their homes.
4. Taiwanese guards were also bullied. Since they experienced violence on a regular basis (face slapping and so on), they assumed it was normal or even okay. To play the devil's advocate, I think I'll point out that this order, given by the Chief of Prisoner of War Camps in Tokyo to the Chief of Staff of the Taiwan Army in a letter dated August 20, 1945 (or six days after the Japanese surrender) was used as evidence by the International Prosecution Section of the British Division 2011 (labeled Exhibit J): "Personnel who mistreat soldiers of war and internees or who are held in extremely bad sentiment by them are permitted to take care of it by transferring or by fleeing without a trace." Many of the guards took this advice. The guards, and the Japanese military for that matter, had to have known their behavior was wrong and this detail seems to support just that.
5. The worst of the Taiwanese recruits became guards. The best were sent out into Asia to fight. According to Lin, Taiwanese boys were typically drafted at 16 or 17 years of age. Before receiving official conscription notices, called pink slips, which came from the local police station via their bao jia (保甲) head, all male adolescents underwent three physicals. In addition to having their health checked, administrators subjected the youngsters to various fitness exams to test strength and endurance. Upon being conscripted, Taiwanese males were sorted for combat or homeland defense based on these tests as well as their school grades. Lin says kids actually competed to be chosen for the front lines. Why? While combat was obviously considered more dangerous, it was not without its perks. Combat soldiers were the only conscripts that were paid. Soldiers sent off to the front could in certain instances (such as pilots) achieve rank while those who remained, as already mentioned, could not. Making the grade translated into prestige. As a result, the strongest and the brightest served abroad. The dregs went on to distinction as 'Runabouts' and what have you.
6. From October 1944 until August 1945, Taiwan was bombed almost daily. Around 75 percent of the colony's infrastructure was destroyed and many innocent civilians died. This had to have been annoying.
7. Some people are just sadistic. Every country has its fair share of Runabouts and Goons.
The Sinai Peninsula was returned to Egypt as a peace for land deal etc...and the Gaza strip was also Egyptian land...so why Egypt don't want them back? Shouldn't it be Mudslimes help Mudslimes? How come Mudslimes refugees all go to Christian ang mor countries but none go to arab or other Mudslimes countries?https://www.france24.com/en/video/2...reject-having-them-break-into-to-their-border

More than one million people have fled their homes in Gaza in scenes of chaos and despair as Israel bombarded the Hamas-ruled territory and continued massing troops Monday in preparation for a full-blown ground invasion. Israel declared war on the Islamist group a day after waves of its fighters broke through the heavily fortified border on October 7, shooting, stabbing and burning to death more than 1,400 people, most of them civilians. After it suffered the deadliest attack in its history, Israel unleashed a relentless bombing campaign of the Gaza Strip that has flattened neighbourhoods and killed at least 2,670 people, mainly civilians. Following an Israeli order to move to the south of the Gaza Strip, people have fled their homes in the north of the enclave to seek shelter wherever they can, including on the streets and in UN-run schools. Gazans are effectively trapped, with Israeli-controlled crossings closed and Egypt also having shut the Rafah border in the south. For more on the dire situation rapidly unfolding for the Palestinians in Gaza, FRANCE 24's François Picard is joined by Egyptian Journalist and Security Analyst Mohannad Sabry.

talk cock lah. harry was a double agent and he relayed jap morale info to the british sis, predecessor to mi6. this, after he realized the allies were winning. he was invaluable to the sis as he was already embedded deep in the hodobu which was in fact a jap overt spy agency with morse intercept capabilities and not just a news or propaganda outfit. double agents can switch sides anytime the situation suits them. it’s part and parcel of intell work. the allies hired kempeitai japs after ww2 to spy on commies in south east asia. and for harry switching sides, he had to hide in cameron highlands for a while to evade the japs. there he met up with his sis handler.
hahahaha, talk cock bullshit. how long did it take u to fantasize this? If Harry the Old fart was a British double agent, all this would be known by now. The BBC and a host of English media would have exposed this as those files have long been declassified. As for him hiding in the Cameron highlands, that was because the japs were rounding up chinese young man to shoot in the beach. Not because he was a double agent or some shit. The Sook Ching massacre was an ongoing event and no chinese male on the island was safe from it. Other chinese men not so lucky can flee to Cameron, and got rounded up and murdered.
he took leave from his hodobu jap masters and pretended to visit penang. kempeitai agents were tailing him. if he were to be rounded up for sook ching ties that would have happened years earlier. the fact that the japs hired him as morse code intercept translator and editor eliminated him (no pun intended) from being a sook ching conspirator and victim. he must have had done a superb job of piecing together morse code and radio telegraphy holes that the japs were impressed with him.
Talk cock lancheow lah. Where is your source from? He barely turned 18 years of age when the Japs invaded. He was at most 19 years old when he started working for them. Like that with no prior experience he can be a morse code and radio telegraphy expert meh? U think the Japs would devote kampetai agents to tail him, a 19 year old or 20 year old fucker. The reason he was not rounded up was because he worked for the Japs. Everyone was told, as a translator. I don't know what he did, but that is why he was not arrested, because he was a traitor.
Now, I tell u the real reason why he was never arrested by the Kempetai nor subject to Sook Ching roundups. The fucker couldn't even speak chinese. His mother tongue was malay, and his second language was english. He had to be tutored in mandarin after he came into office as PeeM. That is why the Japs know this fucker could not be a Nationalist China sympathisizer. And that is why they trusted him to work for them. Imagine how he was bullied and look down by other Singaporean chinese, as someone who is chinese, with chinese name, look like chinese, but cannot speak a word. LOL. The Japs know this defective chinese would be motivated to work for them and retaliate against those people who laugh at him. Which is why when he became PeeM, he paid back sinkies big time.
How come Japanese hate Chinese but not other?
Because the Chinese in SE Asia were perceived to be providing aid to the Nationalists after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and during the 2nd Sino-Jap War.
Because of their war in China, which had already gone for several years before WW2. U heard of the rape of Nanking? SUn Yat Sen was going all around the world trying to raise support and money to fight the Japs. The Japs really hated the Chinese and treated them like inferior species. Just like the Germans killed Jews when they occupied any new country, the Japs did the same to Chinese.
But the chinese no disturb them right?is they want to go war with China one...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_East_Asia_Co-Prosperity_Sphere
The Japanese were attempting to create a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, a pan-Asian bloc including China, Manchukuo, Korea, and later parts of SE Asia to counter Western Imperialism and Soviet communism. Because of its location, size and population, China was key to the defence and economic viability of this bloc.
Ya la. They go fight with china first. China no disturb them at all. Don't said China, so many singkie got killed by them last time..
