The humanitarian disaster in Gaza is deeply disturbing. In fact, it's impossible to express how I feel seeing the relentless killing and destruction. The inaction of world leaders makes them complicit. @johncusack @DalrympleWill @FranceskAlbs @antonioguterres

This touched me so deeply. My Palestinian friend Othman sent me this photo of his cousins holding my picture. They're holding it because I've been helping them however I can during this devastating time. I also apologized sincerely for what my country did to them. Othman
He is a person with special needs and suffers from a severe inflammation of the facial nerve, which has led to his loss of the ability to speak, along with malnutrition. He is asking for your help and begging you not to abandon him. https://t.co/9bAEz5F94n

@KiszelyPhilip Hi Dr. Philip, I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends, family and community are Jewish. I love them all. I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah & Talmud, and love Jewish culture, history and expression. But I'm not a

Today is the 830th day since Israel barred independent international journalists from entering Gaza. 260+ Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza. Amid the constantly violated ceasefire, Gaza is among the most restricted and dangerous places on earth for journalists.

A new step in a pattern of deliberate disregard for international law & the United Nations. Israeli forces stormed into an UNRWA health centre in East Jerusalem. This is a United Nations premises. Israeli authorities then ordered the centre to close for 30 days, depriving
The @UN footprint in occupied East Jerusalem is shrinking fast. Yesterday, in a disgraceful move, Israeli security personnel forcibly entered the UNRWA Jerusalem Health Centre, demanding the removal of UN signage. The Jerusalem Health Centre has been supported over decades by

What's happening in Gaza is now almost entirely absent from the top international headlines. But Israel is still killing Palestinians and their babies are freezing to death. We can't afford to stop talking about that.

Do not forget Gaza. Too many people are barely surviving & continue to be killed. https://t.co/zv7TzVHdTi
Donât forget #Gaza. Homes are still destroyed. Humanitarian aid is still restricted. UNRWA supplies are still completely blocked. Hundreds of thousands are still forcibly displaced. UNRWA is still working to support the people in Gaza. #UNRWAworks

In the abstract fantasy world, Zionism is the support of a Jewish homeland. In the real world, it is the absolute destruction of Palestinian society, theft of their entire country and murder of untold thousands of innocent people. It is racist and genocidal. We don't judge

Imagine calling law enforcement authorities after getting harassed by terroristsâŚ. Then the law enforcement authorities also terrorize you. Welcome to Israeli-occupied Palestine.
After being harassed by settlers at the their home in the town of Sinjil in the occupied West Bank, the Dar Khalil family called the Israeli police, only for the army to show up at their door, threaten the family by firing their guns in the air, and launching gas grenades at the

We were all shocked at this video showing an amputee brutalized by the IDF. But it turns out that this is just the tip of the iceberg of what Israel has done to this poor man. Abu Sayed, a 61-year-old farmer near Masafer Yatta by Avigayil in the southern Hebron Hills, endured a
Israeli forces were filmed assaulting a Palestinian amputee in Khirbet ar-Rakeez, near Hebron in the occupied West Bank. The soldiers seized the manâs crutches and reportedly detained him for hours while he was handcuffed and blindfolded.

@IDF so you want us to believe that Hamas has diligently lived up to every single element of the "ceasefire" (while you have violated it 1000+ times, killed 480+ Palestinians). And then 1 day Hamas decides to fire just a single rocket? you lie for living. your literal job is to lie.

As the genocide in Gaza grows obscured and muted, the evidence of apartheid practices keeps mounting: see the latest UN report exposing Israelâs asphyxiating regime on Palestinians in the West Bank. I await the day the ICC issues indictments for apartheid. https://t.co/PZMhSD8qDT

Israel has always treated the people of Gaza horrifically. It did not start on October 7. In 1956, Israel first occupied the Gaza Strip for a few months. The IDF then raided Khan Younisâalready crowded with families displaced in 1948. Israeli troops moved through the town and

The genocide was not the product of the Netanyahu government. All of Israeli society, including the center and the left fully supported it and believe that the IDF fought morally despite the horrific war crimes it committed. The very small minority that opposes the genocide is
A poll reveals that nearly half of left-wing Israelis highly rate the IDF's moral conduct in the Gaza war. If this is the group expected to oppose the immoral use of force, then the left did not fail in its criticism, it forsook the need for it | Opinion https://t.co/hoDneNs0R6

"I'm an anti-Zionist, because I'm the daughter of holocaust survivors. The Shoah is baked into my DNA, and that's why I call for Palestinian liberation. It's not anti-semitic to be anti-Zionist. It's not anti-semitic to call what's happening in Gaza genocide." Elsa Auerbach -

The day after telling us that Putin "wants Ukraine to succeed" Trump tells us, "âWeâre helping the people of Gaza a lot. So is Israel, by the way.â "Freedom is Slavery." "Ignorance is Stength." "War is Peace." This is way beyond Tass or Pravda. This is purest Newspeak, hot from

It started with the demonization of UNRWA and continues here. People will joke that Doctors Without Borders is Hamas. But its not funny. The reason they are banned is because they will keep Palestinians alive. That is not allowed in a genocide.
Israel becomes the first country in the world to ban the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders. Let that sink in. File under "Things you do when you are committing genocide"...
