Israel is still slowly but steadily torturing an accomplished doctor to death, right in front of the entire world.
A man who walked up to tanks and refused to abandon his patients.
We live in a time where the greatest cowards murder the greatest heroes.
That Safiya dude. A hero being slowly tortured to death with the whole world watching.
Hussam Abu Safiya was born in 1973 into a family displaced from the Palestinian village of Hamama and raised in Jabalia refugee camp. Not exactly a head start in life. To the manor born he was not...
Still, he went to Kazakhstan to study medicine, met his wife Albina there, and returned with her to Gaza in 1996. With his skills he could have made millions in private clinics in at least 50 different countries, but no, he chose to support his people and share their fate.
He became a pediatrician and neonatologist: a man who had chosen to spend his life keeping children alive.
By 2024 he was director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the last barely functioning hospitals in northern Gaza. Under bombardment and with doctors disappearing through death, injury and detention, Abu Safiya refused to abandon his patients.
Israel took almost everything from him before it took him. On 25 October 2024, his 15-year-old son Ibrahim was killed in a drone strike at the hospital entrance. Abu Safiya buried his child in the hospital courtyard and went back to work.
A month later, Abu Safiya himself was wounded by drone-fired shrapnel. He went back to work again. On 27 December, after Israeli forces emptied Kamal Adwan Hospital, the world saw him walking alone through the ruins toward an Israeli tank. He was arrested.
More than eighteen months later, he remains imprisoned without formal charges; his lawyer and human-rights advocates say his health has severely deteriorated and allege physical and psychological abuse, while Israeli authorities deny mistreatment.
There are people who talk about courage because they have never had to demonstrate it. Abu Safiya buried his son, treated the wounded while injured himself, watched the hospital around him being destroyed and still refused to leave the sick behind. Israel has alleged Hamas ties; no formal charges have been filed against him.
Perhaps that is why the image of him walking toward the tank is so difficult to forget. The tank contained an army. The man walking toward it had already lost his son, his hospital and almost everything else that could be taken from him.
He still walked forward.
Now Israel is slowly but surely murdering him AND enjoying every step of the slow motion execution.
The current power structures benefit from propping up Israel, so not even millions of people watching a vicious execution can stop rabid dog Israel.
Israel's license to kill shows us who really has power in this world.
Hint: it's not those who want to see talented physicians do their job.

This is repulsive. Holborn & St. Pancras deserves better than an MP who is paid for by companies complicit in genocide. No wonder she refused to speak out on the genocide!
‘The Best Democracy Money Can Buy!’
Sagal Abdi-Wali has just filed her first register of interest in Parliament, revealing who funded her election campaign in the Holborn & St Pancras by-election where she defeated Zack Polanski.
And they stink.
They are from sources with strong historical ties to Labour Together. And through one of her key donors, Sagal is linked to investments in companies like Palantir and Elbit Systems and Boeing. There is something completely broken about how the reporting regime for donations works that we're only finding this out now, after the election.
The returns show that Abdi-Wali had two big donors: Daniel Luhde-Thompson and his wife Cressida Pollock who donated jointly, and Green Britain Group Ltd, the holding company of Dale Vince's Ecotricity. Both donated £50k to the campaign.
Daniel Luhde-Thompson is mega-wealthy. He is one of the co-founders of the quant-trading hedge fund Quadrature Capital. Quadrature, whose holding company is registered in the Caymans, donated £4m to the Labour Party during the 2024 General Election.
It was the single largest donation Labour had ever received. But nobody knew this fact during the election itself, as the donation was only declared after the election as it was made in a specific week-long window that was exempt from immediate reporting.
As I revealed in OpenDemocracy in October 2024, Quadrature had held shares in companies connected to the genocide in Gaza in late 2023 and early 2024. It held an average of $121m in shares in companies linked to the genocide in Gaza between December 2023 and July 2024. This included shareholdings in arms companies like the lead contractor on the F-35, Lockheed Martin.
I've just checked Quadrature's most recent SEC filings submitted at the end of June 2026. They show that Quadrature still has investments in arms companies like Boeing and Lockheed. The June fillings show it held $9m in Elbit shares and an astonishing $117m in Palantir.
What is it with the Labour Party and connections to Palantir?
Luhde-Thompson also donated to Labour Together. He donated £50k at the end of November 2023: smack-bang in the middle of the period when Labour Together hired APCO to investigate journalists (including me and my family) who had exposed Morgan McSweeney's failure to report donations in violation of the law between 2018 and 2020 (of course there is no indication Luhde-Thompson knew about this).
Dale Vince, Sagal's other donor, was also a big donor to Labour Together. He has, most recently, strongly supported approving drilling at Jackdaw and Rosebank oilfields.
We found out about Dale Vince donating to Sagal during the campaign because it was leaked to the Independent. But voters in Holborn & St Pancras had no idea that she was also being funded by Daniel Luhde-Thompson, linking her to Quadrature and, through that, investments in companies complicit in genocide.
There is really something deeply wrong here. Voters were deprived of key information before they cast their vote. Our electoral laws around donations, which allow the mega-rich to dominate our politics, have to be reformed.

This is so depressing but completely unsurprising. Politics in Britain has become so corrupt because there is no proper and robust transparency regarding donations - collectively to The Labour Party, Labour Party organisations and individually to Labour candidates and MPs. They know they’ll never be properly held accountable. As you say, they should be required by electoral law to declare their donors before election day. And once they’ve got to Westminster they’re not interested in changing the rules or voting in the best interests of their constituents on important issues. They’re literally bought by the same wealthy and powerful donors.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if Israel's got militarized "humanoid robots" ready to deploy against the citizens of Palestine, it's got the robotic Dogs of Death too.
Israel's inhumanity towards Palestinians (and others) knows no bounds.

Unbearable.
Gaza screams for us to break the siege.
I hope you are all sleeping safely in your homes, surrounded by your families. I hope every child has warm clothes and every parent can provide the care their children need.
I hope your children have umbrellas, raincoats, and rain boots for school. I hope your cities are prepared to respond to winter emergencies.
Of course, sharing this news will change nothing for our families in Gaza, just as the warnings issued days ago changed nothing.
Tonight, at 8:30 p.m., as families slept on the ground inside their tents, a massive landslide of soil and rocks buried at least two families in Deir al-Balah.
The victims have been identified as:
Habiba Hossam al-Zain, 4 years old
Reem Hossam al-Zain
Ibrahim Hossam al-Zain
Salah Nabhan, 7 years old
Mariam Nabhan
The mothers of these five children remain in critical condition.
The father of the first three children had already been killed by Israel.
I hope everyone has heat in their homes.

Does @bbc5live have the same editors and producers as @TimesRadio? Today after PMQs they BOTH (@TVNaga01 at around 1254 and @hugorifkind about 1243) ‘analysed’ @jeremycorbyn’s question about Gaza aid situation and UK involvement in Israel’s war crimes. BOTH focused on belittling Corbyn, asking whether he was ‘still relevant’, while COMPLETELY ignoring the issue of the siege of millions of people in dire circumstances. They also both failed to mention that over 100000 of the British public have signed a petition demanding a public inquiry into UK complicity.
This is what propaganda looks like. Trying to hide/minimise Israel’s depraved crimes while attacking British politicians for condemning such crimes.
Naga Munchetty even questioned whether Corbyn was active in Parliament, giving the impression that maybe he only focused on Gaza, and had to be corrected by a guest who said he was quite active. Naga, if you don’t follow Parliament then maybe current affairs is not for you.
