Survivors of Gaza's genocide tell their stories, with Laila Al-Arian

The story of Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old girl trapped all alone in a car, surrounded by dead relatives, pleading over the phone for rescue, is among the most poignant and horrifying crimes in Israel’s ongoing American-backed genocide in Gaza - at least among those that are known.
As the sound of Israeli fire approached, Palestine Red Crescent Society paramedics Yusuf al-Zeino and Ahmed al-Madhoun set out to rescue Hind, as their colleagues at headquarters tried to keep the terrified child calm on the phone.
But despite coordination with the Israeli invaders, the rescue was not to be.
In act of unspeakable perfidy, the Israelis who gave permission for the rescue, would open fire, killing Hind and the two paramedics.
This is just one of the harrowing stories told in The Night Won’t End, a new documentary in Al Jazeera’s flagship Fault Lines series. Through forensic reconstructions and interviews with survivors and witnesses from four families, including Hind’s mother, the film details some of the horrifying atrocities Israel has perpetrated.
Unlike in so much media coverage, the voices and experiences of Palestinian victims are at the center of this harrowing but necessary film.
We are joined by Fault Lines executive producer Laila Al-Arian, an Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist and author.
We watch some excerpts together and talk to Laila about the people whose stories are told in the film, the process of making it in the midst of a genocide and her analysis of media coverage of Gaza more generally.
Nora Barrows-Friedman, Asa Winstanley, Ali Abunimah and Jon Elmer of The Electronic Intifada were joined by Fault Lines executive producer Laila Al-Arian, an Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist and author on the day 264 livestream. You can watch the entire broadcast here: kzbin.info...

Stop this genocide.

Lots of blessings for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. May Allah Subhana Wata'ala bless u with freedom and sovereignty soon Amin.

[@kjw6383]

I watched this documentary and the alshifa one. Aljazeera has done an incredible job documenting Gaza when the rest of the world did not care.

[@PerceivedREALITY999]

Thank you Nora, Ali and Laila. Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.

I can't thank you enough. Thank you for standing up for the truth and bring that truth to millions around the world. Am in Sierra Leone

[@davidarchibald50]

Shortly after I heard of the death of Hind Rajab and her fading phone call, I had three conversations with friends I had known for many years. They argued for the genocide continuing in Gaza and the culpability of the Palestinians. I ended the conversations and will in this life never talk to those men again. Why had I not seen who they really were? There can be no forgiveness; they are articulate, intelligent men, but they are advocates for the worst of crimes humans can commit. It is in times of great stress and challenge when we reveal the true nature of ourselves. Free Palestine, free the entire world.

[@PamDigiovanni]

Well said!

[@northerncross007]

Its time like these that true nature of some so called friends and family comes out , their justification of such cruelty, in essence shows their accomplice , in different times they are the same people who excused the Nazis , the Serbians and the Hutus ..they are always and will be among us

[@Notnoot2]

How can anyone rationalize genocide. How could anyone blame the Palestinians for their deaths? Over 76 years of Zionist terror, and Palestinians are still blamed for their own murder

[@FloraChanel-SG]

Went thru the same thing. SO dissapointed. I'll never talk to them again

[@paulfletcher3998]

@davidarchibald50. It's just to sad for words. I've a friend who is completely on Israel's side. Even after all that's happened. I just don't understand how seemingly bright people are so willfully ignorant. Nxo matter your view of Oct 7th nothing is justification for what's happened since.

Thank You Ei, for all of your reporting. Dear Laila, you are so right, we dont need family in Gaza to feel the pain. I dont know anyone there, but that does not make them less human, nor does their pain be less important. How arrogant to assume that we can only care for those who we 'know'.

[@omarahmad9397]

Thank you EI and Laila. We all share in collective grief. Gaza is indeed all our family and we are all Palestinian.

@35:50 Yes I bothers me too. It’s about humanity. It’s hard to put into words. It’s just horrifying.

[@thundercatt5265]

She lost 200 family members,then another lost 100 members , just those 2 alone adds up to 300 dead and the stats those 2 young ladies were discovering is scary and those stats were done early on and didn't cover the whole 8 months of killing,see the map they gave to me paramedics trying to reach Hind ,that map shows premeditated murder and a 120 mm tank round was used to destroy the ambulance,they fired on the car with a Machine gun mounted on a tank with a very high rare of fire , shooting a .308 round... that's a size larger than a AK 47,there was no reason to fire on them ,the car went left because the driver was killed by the first burst of gunfire the young boy.from the other story,i think his infection was caused due to a lack of antibiotics , and the executions of all those men in the other story , that was also cold blooded murder ..i hope that's some kinda mistake , about the missing 21,000 children , separate from the 17,000 killed , that's close to 30,000 and that's a false statement by Bibi saying they weren't in the area and add this "they fired on anything moving" that's exactly what they did, and that was a crime Kirby, Miller,Blinkin and Biden , it's not that hard to figure out what happened,the evidence is overwhelming ,all of their stories points to genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of international law motivated by hate ,Hind the wound in her back led to internal bleeding ,her mouth was not bleeding, she was chocking on her own blood... that part was very difficult to process.... and the part about him crying with no pain medication, they allowed him to die ,not allowing him to leave in the timely manner ....

[@myownbiz5461]

Heard from another show that Hind didn't want to wipe her face from the blood with her dress because she didn't want her mom to be upset that she'd gotten her dress dirty. I don't know to whom she told this or when, maybe her cousin, but if so, that is even sadder..so normal, a little girl not wanting her mom to be upset and not realizing she is actually dying, where her mom will be grief-stricken and would be happy to have her dress to wash. Oh, my..this is all so beyond words...

It's not a crime to condemn Israeli war crimes. Condemning Israeli war crimes is not antisemitic. Jews who condemn Israeli war crimes are not self-hating Jews.

[@adammsa5303]

Lots of Israelis are upset about what happening. Benjamin Mileikowsky receiving caustic criticizes from Israelis, Now asking Shabak(The Israel Security Agency ) to protect him and his family against Israelis

[@myownbiz5461]

Some people don't know that is Netanyahoo you are talking about..who changed his Polish name to sound more "authentic". He and his sympathizers are pig waste!

Free Free Palestinian. May the Israeli IDF live their life of in nightmare every night. Israel dehumanized Palestinians so that the IDF and majority of Israelis feel no guilt of the inhumanity treatment. They are raised from pre-school to IDF that Israeli is victim. The propaganda worked and we see it online their attitudes.
