7:50 – KPFA News: the Gaza war turns one

Yesterday we spoke with Joel Beinin about the one year anniversary of October 7th, the mark it’s left on Israeli politics, and why so many families of Israeli victims and abductees have become outspoken ceasefire advocates. For palestinians, October 7th marks the beginning of what the international court of justice determined was plausibly a genocide: a sustained assault by Israel that’s damaged more than 60% of the buildings, displaced over 90% of the population at some point over the last year, and killed – in the official tally, which is almost certainly an undercount – more than 41,000 people. KPFA’s reporter in Gaza, Rami Almeghari, filed this story.
