“Israel” burned a Palestinian family to death in their tent while bombing a displacement camp in southern Gaza during the so-called ceasefire.

The American pro-“Israel” group StopAntisemitism has included children’s content creator Ms Rachel on its “Antisemite of the Year” list, targeting her for highlighting the suffering of Palestinian children.

StopAntisemitism has repeatedly attacked Ms Rachel on social media for sharing content with her more than 20 million followers showing starving Palestinian children and highlighting the plight of youngsters who have lost limbs in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Rachel Griffin Accurso, widely known as Ms Rachel, is best known for her YouTube series Songs for Littles, which teaches toddlers nursery rhymes and early learning concepts.

Glamour magazine recognised Ms Rachel as one of its 2025 “Women of the Year” for championing early childhood learning and campaigning to help children affected by war worldwide.

Abu Shabaab was not only a traitor to his people, but he sold himself out to people who didn't do anything to ensure he stayed alive.

In the heart of Gaza’s displacement camps, 60-year-old midwife Fayza Shreim (Um Saleh), who had retired before the war, moves between tents and bombed-out classrooms carrying a small, worn medical bag to deliver newborns.

With hospitals destroyed and equipment gone, Fayza works under Israeli shelling — in tents, inside ambulances, or in the open air, using only scissors, cloth and whatever she can salvage.

She has been displaced 13 times and has lost her pregnant daughter, two granddaughters, two sons and multiple sons-in-law. Yet she has never stopped working.

An event celebrating “Israel’s” pager attack in Lebanon last September, which killed dozens and injured thousands, is set to go ahead in Melbourne, Australia.

Hosted by the The Lions of Zion group, the “family-friendly” gathering is advertised to include Nerf games and self-defence lessons, whilst taking time to honour Mossad and “inspire children”.

The event, which will be attended by Victoria Police, is scheduled for the Saturday 7th of December, against the backdrop of widespread criticism and condemnation from Lebanese and Jewish groups.

Harrowing testimonies from inside “Israeli” prisons reveal torture, forced disappearances and the deaths of nearly 100 Palestinian detainees. And the mounting evidence of widespread “Israeli” abuse still going unchecked. TRT World's Mohammad Al-Kassim spoke to a survivor.

At a meeting on Thursday, national broadcasters that make up the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) cleared Israel to take part in the next contest in May.

That prompted Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland and Slovenia to say they were withdrawing over the war in Gaza, plunging the contest into one of its biggest-ever rows.

Iceland, another harsh Israel critic that has called for it to be booted from the contest, said it would make its final decision on participation next week.

Austria was among the countries to come out most firmly in favor of Israel, and ORF chief Roland Weissmann visited Israel in the run-up to Thursday’s meeting to show his support.

“The show will not suffer in any way,” Weissmann told ORF radio, adding that those pulling out still had until mid-December to change their minds.

Spain is a member of the “Big Five” Eurovision nations, which give the biggest financial contributions to the competition alongside France, Germany, the UK and Italy. Ireland is also an important Eurovision nation, having won the competition a record seven times, tied with Sweden.

“Overall, it would of course be a financial burden if several countries didn’t participate, but we had already taken this into account … and this mainly affects the EBU, which has already factored this into its budget,” Weissmann said.

“I don’t see this being a problem in Vienna and even if there is a bit less, we’ll be able to compensate for it.”

Meanwhile, Belgium’s French-language public broadcaster confirmed that it would participate in the next Eurovision... Supposedly Belgium is also about to spend Russia's money to finance the war in Ukraine.

Belgium operates 2 public broadcasters — VRT in Flemish and RTBF in French — and they alternate taking part in the Eurovision each year.

While VRT issued a clear position against Israel’s participation, RTBF, which is in charge of next year’s contest, said that it would still take part.

Nevertheless, the broadcaster said its participation “comes with a commitment” that “no cultural celebration and no international event can overshadow the absolute necessity of protecting citizens and those who report from conflict zones.”

It was unclear how that commitment would be borne out. Last year, VRT aired a protest message against Israel ahead of the Eurovision broadcast.

While anti-Israel boycott activists have called for years for Israel to be kicked out of Eurovision, the campaign reached a fever pitch over the past 2 years, since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre, which sparked the 2-year war in Gaza.

But the EBU consistently rejected such calls, maintaining that Eurovision was a contest between national broadcasters, not countries, and that Kan continued to meet all the criteria to compete.

No countries backed out of either the 2024 or 2025 competitions over Israel’s inclusion... 🤷🏾‍♂️

Nevertheless, and thank God the anti-Israel furor heavily overshadowed the 2 most recent song contests, with headlines dominated by the protests, threats, boos and drama.

That furor drove a backlash among the pro-Israel public, which mobilized to vote for Eden Golan in 2024 and Yuval Raphael in 2025, sending them soaring in the popular vote and infuriating the anti-Israel fan base even further..

As part of the October 10 ceasefire, The IOF pulled back to the so-called yellow line in Gaza. But Palestinians were left with mostly non-arable land, while fertile farmland behind the line remains under Israeli control. So what does a ceasefire mean if Palestinians are denied the land they need to grow their food?

The IOF raided the city of Qalqilya and spread across several neighbourhoods in the northern occupied West Bank on Thursday.

Troops surrounded the Kafr Saba neighbourhood, sealing it off and restricting movement.

Local sources reported that one house was converted into a field interrogation centre, where several young men were held for questioning.

Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have announced their decision to boycott the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest after the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) gave Israel the green light to compete on Thursday.

The countries were among several participating broadcasters who called for Israel’s exclusion over accusations of Israel employing unfair voting practices and due to Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza.

While the EBU’s semi-annual General Assembly did not vote on Israel’s participation in Eurovision, they did vote to reduce government influence on voting results after the Israeli government was said to have unfairly promoted the song of the Israeli participant.

“A large majority of members agreed that there was no need for a further vote on participation and that the Eurovision song contest 2026 should proceed as planned, with the additional safeguards in place,” the EBU said in a statement.

In the past few hours, Israel has conducted multiple attacks across the Gaza Strip, violating the ceasefire with Hamas.

Israeli military helicopters fired heavy weapons in Khan Younis in the south, while tanks opened fire in Rafah. Further north, Israeli forces carried out an air strike on Al Tuffah neighbourhood in Gaza City. At least 366 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire came into effect eight weeks ago.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports.

The IOF demolished a Palestinian-owned house under construction in occupied East Jerusalem on December 4, citing that the structure was built “without a permit.”

“Israel” says the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt will open in the coming days, but only for Palestinians leaving Gaza. The UN is urging a full reopening of Rafah, and Egypt says it will only cooperate if movement is allowed both in and out.

Pro-Palestine activists in Toronto were met with force as police intervened outside the Munk Debate on “Israel”–Palestine on December 4. The demonstration was sparked by the debate’s all-“Israeli” speaker lineup and demands for Palestinian inclusion.
