đHussein Agha and @Rob_Malleyâs book is a bitter epitaph for the peace process era https://t.co/JCVVhZE7Ul âThe goal of a Palestinian state, they suggest, may have always been futile. It certainly had no chance of succeeding while the US refused to exert real pressure on Israelâ

Adapted from Hussein Aghaâs and my forthcoming book, Tomorrow is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine, coming out September 16.
âHamasâs onslaught and Israelâs war of destruction were not one-offs or historical exceptions,â Hussein Agha and Robert Malley write. âThey were reĂ«nactments. They made quick work of years of a peace process that had become a sore farce.â

For months, folks on this website have pushed a set of "gotcha" tropes to debunk the existence of famine in Gaza. In fact they are mostly debunking their own credibility on famine dynamics. As we await tomorrow's IPC report, here is a pre-buttal đ§”of some of those tropes.

«The anti-Netanyahu public & main opposition parties differ little from the current leadership on the future status of Palestinians, the inevitability of Israeli occupation, & acceptability of denying self-determination, or alternately, democracy & civil rights to Palestinians»
Why does the Israeli govt consistently defy public opinion, & why does the Israeli public stand for it? My analysis, by the numbers, deep dive, long read, in @ForeignAffairs -

Hussein Agha & me: Recognition of a state does nothing for Palestinians. It suits Israel, which wonât have to suffer from more punitive steps; France & UK, which wonât have to take them; & the Pal Authority, which will cover weakness w/a futile victory. https://t.co/ZJd4qNZ0au

Airdrops are very expensive (money spent on flights instead of food), volumes are too small, distribution is impossible as hungry crowds rush to get something, aid canât be distributed fairly, people get killed. This is more distraction and deflection: it allows Israel to
Israel will now allow Arab countries to resume the airdrops of food into Gaza. This is a step that hasn't happened for many months. It happened last year when the humanitarian situation was extremely dire. At the same time Israeli officials continue to claim there is no

As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

Think about how uncomfortable it is to be hungry for a few hours or to be thirsty and not be able to drink for a little while. Now think about what 32-year-old Rahil Mohammed Rasras went through as she slowly starved to death inside Nasser Medical Complex https://t.co/d1BdHo7dYO

Israel is starving civilians in Gaza by blocking the delivery of aid. Hospitals are overrun with those dying from hunger, while doctors and staff have themselves run out of food, and people are collapsing in the street. One million children are at risk. https://t.co/J4j1zpUCGw

It is one of the highest reported death tolls among repeated recent cases in which people have been killed while looking for aid.
