This is the fifth month since the current Israel-Hamas conflict commenced. I have been keeping copies of selected online content since 7 October 2023.
Many of these posts feature on my X page (@garybunt), and are usually posted there first, along with related materials and extra links (there’s often a time lag between posting on X and posting here!). The intention here is to keep a record of these posts (X posts disappear from time to time) and other content. I’m planning to write about these sources in due course.
There are thousands of potential posts, so what follows is only a snapshot of activities. Warning: there are images of violence and injuries in some posts.
Sequencing is date-related. The pages (from various months) link back to the earliest days of this crisis. Scrolling and loading the page can take some time (depending on net access/bandwidth).
As with all other posts here and elsewhere, reposting and retweeting is for recording, information and research purposes – and does not necessarily imply endorsement. For reasons of time, I don’t have time to comment on each post individually here.

Allan Woods, Toronto Star, ‘Can you help us?’ Gazans turn to crowdfunding, cold-calling influencers in bid to flee war zone, 4 Mar 2024. “The currency settings on the crowdfunding site GoFundMe were taking donations in Swedish Krona rather than a more common currency, such as the euro or the American dollar. When the exchange rates were applied, the amounts raised were several magnitudes less than what was required.”
