9 d. ago Have you looked at images of Gaza on Google Maps? You should | Arwa Mahdawi

If you don’t trust Palestinians, maybe you’ll trust Google Maps. Satellite imagery shows the extent of the devastationA picture says a thousand words. And the imagery slowly seeping out of Gaza tells a story that many politicians and media figures are still doing their best to ignore or obfuscate. Updated satellite imagery on Google Maps of the devastated region, drone shots of dystopian aid checkpoints, and military maps of so-called “safe zones” make it increasingly hard to argue that Israel’s military “operation” (to use a sanitizing word the media is incredibly fond of) is about eradicating Hamas. This isn’t an operation – it’s a cremation: one with the ultimate goal of eradicating not just Palestinian life in Gaza, but Palestinian identity altogether.First, though, I want to stress that there still isn’t a lot of imagery coming out of Gaza. This is by design – and something I wish more of my colleagues in the western media were outraged about. Israel has not allowed foreign jou...

As he kept himself largely out of the limelight, he consolidated an iron grip over the army’s ranks and ben...
