These were the "suspects" you eliminated. Two little children. You're sick.
❌CEASEFIRE VIOLATION: IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, carried out suspicious activities, and approached the troops in southern Gaza, posing an immediate threat. The IAF eliminated the suspects to remove the threat. In another incident in the

during the Afghanistan withdrawal I remember how US forces prioritized evacuating military dogs before Afghan allies. In the colonial hierarchy, the colonized rank below animals
Germany has welcomed at least 8 donkeys evacuated from Gaza. But it is delaying the entry of Palestinian children in need of medical evacuation.

Just got off a video call with Mohammed. A surreal moment. He told me he’d seen the video of me rummaging through his bedroom drawers lol. I asked if he’d had any idea about the effort to free him; he said no. He knew literally nothing about what was happening in the outside
I have some incredible news to share. Today, after 9.5 agonizing months, Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim was released from Israel’s Ofer Prison and into his father’s arms. The Israeli military had no right to take him in the first place, and the family credits the relentless grassroots

I don’t understand who these apologies are for and why there’s an expectation for Palestinians to forgive anyone right now. I think these people want white liberals, in place of actual genocide survivors, to say “it’s ok!” so they can continue being grifters in peace. Just weird.

who could’ve seen this coming!!!
By speaking earlier this week at Tel Aviv University, I made a serious mistake. In the past, when formulating my views about Israel-Palestine, I’ve sought out Palestinian friends and interlocutors and listened carefully to their views. In this case, I did not. I really wanted

Tonight, I’m going to KKK university to tell them white supremacy sucks
Tonight, I’m going to speak at Tel Aviv University. I know many people who I respect will think this was the wrong decision given that Israel—as widely recognized by experts on international law—practices not only apartheid but genocide. I support full equality for Israel’s

After years of destruction and loss, a rare opportunity arises to restore a part of Gaza’s cultural spirit. This project is the first library to be built after the genocide, marking a unique event in the city’s history. This library will not be just a place for books, but a

There are moments in history when the creation of a library becomes an act of freedom itself.Here in Gaza, after the genocide, Omar and Ibrahim understood that dreams protected by books do not yield...

A CBS News staffer was going to be laid off but then wrote to Bari Weiss about how much he loves Israel so she spared him. If someone wrote this as satire for the onion they’d tell the writer it was too on the nose.

Does Jake Tapper talk like this about Benjamin Netanyahu, responsible for the murder of more than 250 journalists? Why not?
Jake Tapper: "We're standing by to see the president and First Lady greet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Presumably, he's washed the blood off his hands..." "Just to remind everybody, Trump's own CIA said that MBS ordered the murder and dismemberment of a Washington

I’ve already noticed the drop in news coverage about Gaza. Even on social media people aren’t talking about the multiple ceasefire violations and the rising amount of martyrs. What happened?

More than 10 martyrs in Gaza City tonight from multiple Israeli attacks during this “ceasefire.” I saw lifeless toddlers in white shrouds again. This is a disgrace on all of humanity.

Exchanges about Trump between a reporter and Epstein raise questions about what the New York Times knew and when.

Getting to this late but this is a must-read. Student journalists who focus day-and-night on their own communities can beat national publications on the same stories!
When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: Jeffrey E. Epstein. @dhruvtkpatel and @camsrivastava report. https://t.co/p8uUQjwtfG

Read them all. None of them do. From The Guardian to NPR to the New York Times. And activism for Gaza was so central to the last two years of Alice's life, and so successful. Shameful and deliberate
Absolutely zero mention of COVID or Gaza in the NYT obituary for @SFdirewolf, just a completely whitewashed version of her legacy. Pitiful

Alice used her writing, energy, networks, money, community to channel survival funds to Palestinians, foreground a disability justice embedded in Palestine liberation, and found Crips for eSIMs to keep Palestinians connected to each other and the world. So much to learn from this

Honor @SFdirewolf’s life by continuing to support this life-saving effort she helped organize. She would have expected nothing less of us.
🍉 Please help us continue to keep the thousands of eSIMs we bought active so Gazans can connect with the outside world For more: https://t.co/iayatfyJ94

Beloved disability rights activist Alice Wong co-founded Crips for eSims for Gaza, which raised millions of dollars to support internet and phone connectivity for Palestinians in Gaza during the genocide. In doing so, she helped save countless lives. RIP 💔
