Jewish Woman Condemns Israel After Zionist-Funded ‘Birth Right' Trip
In a video released by Aljazeera Documentary, a young Jewish woman Sarah revealed more details about her free trip, which was funded by Zionist institutions. Sarah said that this trip has changed a lot of her thoughts and convictions and eventually led her to reject the Israeli occupation. 'I am Jewish enough for a free trip to Israel. In my early twenties, I went to Israel and when I went out of the plan, people told me you could become a citizen within 24 hours. You are Jewish enough. You should move here,' she said. She noted that when Israel became a state, she thought that all governments gave Jewish people money to buy houses in Palestine. Surprisingly, she discovered that Israel did not buy houses from the Palestinians, Israelis actually detained and killed Palestinians and seized their homes by force. She even mentioned that Palestinians still have the keys of their homes that they cannot even walk by any more. Sarah described what happened as 'colonization' that ended up with an open-air prison as people cannot even leave the neighborhoods that were forced to live in. 'This is equal or worse than a concentration camp,' she added. @aljazeera_documentary كشفت الشابة اليهودية سارة عن تفاصيل رحلتها المجانية التي مولتها مؤسسات صهيونية ضمن برنامج 'حق الولادة'، وكيف غيّرت تلك الرحلة قناعاتها، وجعلتها تشكك في الرواية الرسمية، وتعلن رفضها العلني للاحتلال والعنصرية. ♬ son original – الجزيرة الوثائقية Birth Right Program Moreover, she stressed that Jews need to start talking about the 'Birth Right' program,, any American or European right now can go to Israel for free in a trip funded by specific Zionist institutions and go to the stolen houses. 'I have recently a rabbi's wife calling me over and over again because she knew that my husband speaks about the Palestinian Cause. She wants to convert me into her world. I told her I do not practice Judaism and we will not be good friends. But she would not stop calling and texting me because she wanted to convert me because I have good blood,' Sarah added. She also described what is happening in Gaza as 'worse than the holocaust,' concluding that this open-air prison that extends across generations should end. Since the beginning of Hamas-Israel War, the Israeli strikes have killed more than 61,499 Palestinians and wounded over 152,800, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

Recently, Irish authorities have announced that they seek to obtain a formal decision to suspend trade ties with Israeli firms in the Palestinian territories, according to Financial Times. Moreover, the government also condemned Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid since March and accused Israel of using food as a weapon of war against Palestinian civilians.

New U.S. airstrikes hit Yemen's Sa'dah
ALBAWABA- U.S. forces have launched five new airstrikes on the outskirts of Sa'dah, the northern Yemeni city considered the stronghold of the Houthi-led Ansar Allah movement, according to Houthi-affiliated media. The fresh wave of attacks comes just days after a U.S. strike reportedly hit a detention center in Sa'dah, killing at least 68 people and wounding around 50, many of them African migrants. عاجل | وسائل إعلام تابعة لأنصار الله: عدوان أمريكي بـ5 غارات على محيط مدينة #صعدة — الجزيرة - عاجل (@AJABreaking) May 1, 2025 The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) condemned the attack. Christine Cipolla, ICRC's regional director for the Near and Middle East, stated, 'The deadly strike on the detention center resulted in a large number of casualties, including migrants. It is unacceptable for detainees to be caught in the crossfire. This incident highlights the increasing threat to civilian lives in Yemen.' Simultaneously, the U.S. military confirmed that an F/A-18B fighter jet crashed into the Red Sea after taking off from the USS Harry S. Truman. The crash reportedly occurred during an exchange of fire with Houthi forces. One U.S. Navy personnel was injured. The incident marks a significant operational setback, which U.S. officials have reluctantly acknowledged. Since March 15, the U.S. has sharply escalated its air campaign in Houthi-controlled areas across northern and western Yemen. Human rights groups report that hundreds of civilians have been killed in the strikes, with one of the deadliest targeting Ras Isa port, killing more than 80 people, mostly workers and truck drivers.

Dozens killed since morning in continued Israeli assaults on Gaza
ALBAWABA- At least 18 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air and artillery strikes across the Gaza Strip since dawn today, marking yet another bloody day in the ongoing Israeli assault on the besieged enclave. Also Read More than 50 children killed in Gaza within 48 hours: UNICEF Two people were killed in Wadi Al-Arayes Street in the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City.

In Abasan Al-Kabira, near Khan Younis, artillery fire by Israeli forces killed one farmer and wounded two others. A Palestinian police outpost north of Rafah was also bombed in an overnight strike. عاجل | مصادر طبية للجزيرة: 18 شهيدا في غارات إسرائيلية على مناطق عدة في قطاع غزة منذ فجر اليوم — الجزيرة - عاجل (@AJABreaking) April 20, 2025 These attacks come a day after 56 Palestinians were killed in similar assaults, part of what Palestinians and human rights groups now describe as a daily killing of civilians with total disregard for human life, international law, and ethical norms. The persistent Israeli bombardment and civilian casualties have prompted accusations of war crimes and genocide. Alongside the violence, Gaza is experiencing an escalating humanitarian catastrophe. According to The Guardian, citing aid agencies, Israel's blockade has created desperate and unprecedented conditions. Famine is reportedly more devastating than the airstrikes themselves. Oxfam reports that most children in Gaza now survive on less than one meal a day. As the war grinds on, calls are mounting for an immediate ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian corridors to prevent further civilian suffering in one of the world's most densely populated and devastated regions.

Ascari, Italian Politician, Condemns "Criminal Will" Behind Gaza Massacres
Italian politician Stefania Ascari calls on her country to stop selling weapons to Israel for further killing and massacres in Gaza. Ascari expressed her shock at Events in Palestine: 'We have witnessed a criminal will aimed at the annihilation of the Palestinian people' In a moving speech, an Italian poltician described what she witnessed during a visit to the Rafah crossing as 'horrific,' emphasizing that what she saw and heard from her colleagues confirms the existence of a criminal will aimed at the annihilation of the Palestinian people. The politician, who has personally experienced the horrors of genocide in the past, stated that she speaks from a place of deep humanity. She added: 'Through my participation in the working group for peace between Palestine and Israel, and in collaboration with my colleagues, governmental organizations, and journalists, we have witnessed with our own eyes what can only be described as a criminal will to completely destroy the Palestinian people.' She continued: 'In the video we watched, we see mothers holding their children's hands, but they do not know that the children shown in the video no longer have hands. Their limbs have been amputated. The children there no longer have arms or hands. This is the horrific reality we are facing.' @aljazeera نائبة إيطالية: لمسنا إرادة إجرامية لإبادة الفلسطينيين #فيديو ♬ original sound – الجزيرة – الجزيرة The politician pointed out that more than 70,000 people, including children, women, and men, have been brutally killed as part of a premeditated and calculated plan, even before the events of October 7. She affirmed that these events are 'unacceptable and inhumane,' expressing her sorrow over the complete loss of humanity. In response to Trump's statements about the forced deportation of an entire people, the politician said: 'This people exists, and they must be treated with humanity and respect. What does Italy want to do? Does it want to continue selling weapons and supporting the trade of death that leads to more killing and massacres?' She also added: 'International institutions are standing idly by; they do not sign a ceasefire, do not recognize the state of Palestine, and do not support the International Criminal Court. Where are we headed? We must wake up and ask: Where is the Christian mother to come here and ask us: Does Italy want to be complicit in these crimes and genocide, or does it want to stand on the side of justice and human life?' In conclusion, Ascari called for an end to the support of the arms trade and the adoption of a humanitarian stance that supports peace and justice, emphasizing that standing against these crimes is a moral responsibility for everyone.
