'The Night Won't End': New Film Investigates Israel's Civilian Killings in Gaza and U.S. Role in War

In a special broadcast, we feature part of our recent in-depth interview about _The Night Won't End_, a new documentary from Al Jazeera English which takes an in-depth look at attacks on civilians by the Israeli military in Gaza and the United States' role in the war. The film follows three Palestinian families as they recount the horrific experiences they have endured under relentless Israeli assault, including the family of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, the young Palestinian girl who made headlines when it emerged in January that she had been trapped in a car with family members killed by Israeli ground troops, and the Salem family, who first lost dozens of family members in an Israeli airstrike and then additional family members who were executed by Israeli soldiers. We play clips from the documentary and speak to journalists Kavitha Chekuru and Sharif Abdel Kouddous, the director and correspondent on _The Night Won't End_, respectively. We also discuss the plight of journalists in Gaza and U.S. complicity in Israel's war. "There's no question that U.S. weapons have killed civilians in Gaza," says Kouddous. "This violates both international humanitarian law and domestic law."

The pain and suffering that the Palestinian people have been and is going through is unbelievable. This is the wickedness of the colonial occupations. May God have mercy and help the Palestinians.

The US never wanted to stop the genocide Gaza. In the contrary it supported and facilitated the genocide.

[Yazzie]

Very very very sad .. sad that the world has allowed this horror I just can’t live life as normal knowing there is so much suffering!!😢

When I think about to the little Palestinian girl, who was helplessly hoping for someone to rescue her in the car, as her family lay dead around her. Her name was Hind Rajab. It reminds me of Ann Frank and the Nazi's.The whole world watches in horror as the US backs this genocide of the Palestinian people by supplying Israel with the weapons of war to murder innocent humans and feel helpless to stop these crimes against humanity. We must never forget what the Nazis did and we will never forget what the US and Israel are doing know.

I've cried everyday since the beginning of October All I can do is withhold my vote. In 2 & 4 years from now I won't be giving my vote to my Senators because they can't even say that Palestinians have a right to life. I won't vote for someone who doesn't believe all humans deserve life no matter what
