Footage showing the massive destruction that Israeli forces inflicted on the so-called 'safe zone' of Al-Shaboura camp in Rafah.

If you are feeling sad and hopeless that is completely understandable, but it's also a luxury we can't afford right now. Here's a list of some great organisations helping on the ground, just as a handy guide:

Five years ago today, I was fired from CNN after giving a speech at the United Nations in defense of Palestinian rights. So much about the situation in Israel and Palestine has changed since then. I can’t help but wonder how this “dangerous” speech would have been received now:
