DoomsdaysCW<p>😭 Some of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DemocracyNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyNow</span></a>'s interview with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HaniAlmadhoun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HaniAlmadhoun</span></a>, after the assassination of his brother, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChefMahmoud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChefMahmoud</span></a> -- just a day after Dr. Ahmed al-Kahlout was killed.</p><p>"AMY GOODMAN: That’s Dr. Ahmed al-Kahlout, who was killed this weekend, head of Kamal Adwan’s intensive care unit. Hani?</p><p>HANI ALMADHOUN: Yes, rest in peace, Dr. Ahmed al-Kahlout. He’s a friend of the family. He’s our neighbor. He was killed exactly a day before Mahmoud. In fact, he gave my — he was able to give my brother painkillers, because my dad, who’s 72 years old, was hurt two weeks ago by Israeli quadcopter, and we couldn’t find painkillers. The doctor said he didn’t want anything. He asked if Mahmoud can do him a favor and get him tomato paste. Can you imagine this hero saving lives and can’t find tomato paste? And Mahmoud said, “I’ll find it for you.” And he went to the hospital, and boom, that day, the guy was assassinated. He’s the head of the intensive care unit.</p><p>Mahmoud has developed a friendship with Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the hero doctor, solving problems for him. In fact, 10 days before Mahmoud’s assassination, he delivered filtered water for the hospital for their dialysis unit. Can you imagine a civilian figuring out how to deliver filtered water for the hospital, not just for drinking, but also to run the dialysis unit? You can’t imagine how important Mahmoud was for the hospital. The hospital already sent their condolences. They’re worried about lack of his support. In fact, yesterday the shipment of produce that Mahmoud ordered just got to the hospital. You know, they are out of fresh food. They’re eating pasta and rice that’s delivered by UNRWA and the World Health Organization.</p><p>But yesterday I was in a conference call with Dr. Hussam, and he said, “Out of the 50 items we need, these organizations are able to deliver six or seven,” and he’s frustrated because he’s not getting the help he needs. And, you know, I’ve met the doctors. They’re not seasoned by any measure. They’re just fresh out of medical school, trying their best, doing things that — even nurses in Gaza are doing operations now, because there’s nobody else to do these things. And it’s unfortunate we continue to do this.</p><p>And the cruelty, Amy, my brother survived this genocide for 420 days, and then he’s killed. And he was telling me the day before, “Hani, there might be good news. They’re talking about a ceasefire.” It’s one thing to be killed early in the war and not suffer as much, but he was killed toward, I hope, to be the tail end of it.</p><p>He does not deserve to be killed. And I inquire and I challenge the Israelis to publicly say why they targeted my brother. We have full confidence that he is the person we know. He’s a civilian dad who wanted to help his neighbors, and everybody knows him and supported him, and we pray for him.</p><p>But also, we want to make sure people there, you know, they can still do things. You know, why are they banning UNRWA? Why is the U.S. defunding the U.N. agency? This is no longer about October 7th and the horrors. This is about ethnically cleansing north of Gaza. The south is also facing starvations. We run a soup kitchen there. And we went from a $1,000 budget to $5,000 daily budget just to get people some rice, because food is not available. But we want to respond. Despite our pain, my cousins and nephews and sister-in-law is cooking for people in four out of the five soup kitchens we continue to run. We’re not going to close, because this is our family, this is our commitment. We don’t cook for people, we don’t eat ourselves.</p><p>This is not — and this is risky. You know, it should not be risky. It should not be an heroic act to get water to the hospital. And that’s why I remember the 230 UNRWA staff who were killed, and not just UNRWA. You’ve mentioned the Save the Children. You’ve mentioned other organizations who have lost their staff. And —</p><p>AMY GOODMAN: World Central Kitchen.</p><p>HANI ALMADHOUN: Yes, correct. And unfortunately that sometimes, you know, Israeli accusations run in the media as a fact, and that’s — nobody challenges whatever allegations are made, because, “OK, it’s good enough for me.” Nobody’s going to push back. And in the case of my brother, we’re pushing back as much as we can.</p><p>AMY GOODMAN: Finally, of course, you are not the only one who’s accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing. Israel’s former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon has accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and committing war crimes in Gaza. He served as Netanyahu’s defense minister from 2013 to '16, made the accusations several times over television, including on one of Israel's biggest TV channels. This is what he said, and we’re going to end with your comment after this.</p><p> MOSHE YA’ALON: [translated] To occupy, to annex, to cleanse, ethnic cleansing, look at the northern Gaza Strip and settle a Jewish settlement. That’s the point. … There is no Beit Lahia. There is no Beit Hanoun. They are operating in Jabaliya and are essentially clearing the area of Arabs.</p><p>AMY GOODMAN: That’s Israel’s former Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon. Your final comments, Hani?</p><p>HANI ALMADHOUN: This is our reality. This is the horrors my family faced. We’ve lost our brother last November. He is a full-time civilian, and they killed our brother. This is the price to pay for standing where we were raised. This is the memory of the Nakba. We learned our lesson from our grandparents who were ethnically cleansed. And now we refuse to do the same. But unfortunately, when they kill so many of our family members, our family relocated still in north Gaza, standing by, hoping that somebody watching, somebody listening, somebody from our government will definitely develop a conscience and try to save our people. This is no longer a war against terror. This is a war against the civilians in Palestine, including Gaza. Thank you so much."</p><p>Full transcript / listen / watch:<br><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2024/12/2/gaza_soup_kitchen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">democracynow.org/2024/12/2/gaz</span><span class="invisible">a_soup_kitchen</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UNRWA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UNRWA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraeliWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraeliWarCrimes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Starvation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Starvation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaAid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaAid</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaFundraisers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GazaFundraisers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeasefireNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CeasefireNow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelHumanRightsViolations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelHumanRightsViolations</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopArmingIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopArmingIsrael</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldWarBibi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldWarBibi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BeitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BeitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BaitLahiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BaitLahiya</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BibiIsAWarCriminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BibiIsAWarCriminal</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KhanYounes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KhanYounes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HumanRightsAreNeverWrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HumanRightsAreNeverWrong</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthernGaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernGaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Assassination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Assassination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KamalAdwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalAdwan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KamalAdwanHospital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalAdwanHospital</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ViewerSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ViewerSupportedNews</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheChildren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaveTheChildren</span></a></p>

The official death toll in Gaza is now over 44,000, although experts believe that is a vast undercount of the true figure. Israel’s onslaught has continued to kill medical and aid workers in recent days, including three people with World Central Kitchen, the head of the intensive care unit at Kamal Adwan Hospital, a staff member with Save the Children, as well as Mahmoud Almadhoun, who co-founded the Gaza Soup Kitchen that has fed Palestinians suffering hunger due to Israel’s blockade of vital food aid. Almadhoun was killed in an Israeli drone strike and is survived by seven children, including a newborn baby. His brother Hani Almadhoun joins Democracy Now! to discuss what he calls a targeted assassination. 'My brother slowed down the ethnic cleansing of north Gaza, and that’s why he was taken out,' says Almadhoun.

But the newly elected president, Daniel Noboa, has said Ecuador is at war with gang violence and that the country is 'not in the same situation as two years ago.' Noboa has said oil from the Yasuní National Park could help fund that war against drug cartels. Environmental activists and Indigenous peoples say they’re concerned about his comments because their victory had been hailed as an example of how to use the democratic process to leave fossil fuels in the ground. 'Amazonian women are at the frontlines of defense,' says Nemonte Nenquimo, an award-winning Waorani leader in the Ecuadorian Amazon who co-founded Amazon Frontlines and the Ceibo Alliance. Her recent piece for The Guardian is headlined 'Ecuador’s president won’t give up on oil drilling in the Amazon. We plan to stop him — again.' Nemonte has just published her new memoir titled We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People. We also speak with her co-author and partner, Mitch Anderson, who is the founder and executive director of Amazon Frontlines and has long worked with Indigenous nations in the Amazon to defend their rights."</p><p>Watch / listen / read transcript:<br><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2024/11/29/indigenous_leader_nemonte_nenquimo_on_fight" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">democracynow.org/2024/11/29/in</span><span class="invisible">digenous_leader_nemonte_nenquimo_on_fight</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ViewerSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ViewerSupportedNews</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmazonRiverBasin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonRiverBasin</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandDefenders</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Yasun%C3%AD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yasuní</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Waorani" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Waorani</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousPeople</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Yasun%C3%ADNationalPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YasuníNationalPark</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalActivists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalActivists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeWillBeJaguars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeWillBeJaguars</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmazonFrontlines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonFrontlines</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeiboAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CeiboAlliance</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a></p>
