On the Thai Restaurant massacre in Gaza last week: www.dropsitenews.com/p/massacre-t... "I would come to the restaurant at least twice a week to finish my articles—to report the genocide of my people to the world. I thought it was a safe place, but in this land of death, there is no such thing."

"We asked the IDF why, having arrested & released him twice, they then decided to target him in an airstrike...and why they considered his young family to be an acceptable level of collateral damage. They did not give us an answer." www.youtube.com/watch?v=AILY...

Edan Alexander being released: He's an American from New Jersey who left the US to join the Israeli army. He was captured from an army base near Gaza. He should never have been there & serious questions should be asked of those in his life who encouraged him to join the apartheid regime's military.

"The Unbearable Pain of Leaving Gaza" Our remarkable colleague Abubaker Abed never wanted to leave his homeland. In a deeply personal essay, he describes the excruciating decisions he was forced to make. www.dropsitenews.com/p/abubaker-a...

Netanyahu claims Israel breaking the ceasefire, imposing a starvation siege & killing 2500 people is why Hamas will release Edan Alexander. Hamas had said it would release him right before the ceasefire was broken. He would've been home 2 months ago if it weren't for Netanyahu.

Israeli settlers in civilian vehicles stormed the town of Sa’ir, north of Hebron, firing indiscriminately and causing civilians—including children—to flee in panic.

Did not expect to see this headline from The Guardian. It’s good to finally be getting clarity in the language around Gaza. “UK’s F-35 exports more important than stopping genocide, lawyers to argue”

A really interesting Breaking Points segment with @jeremyscahill on his interviews with Hamas leaders. A lot of insights into how the group sees the current battle and info from those who were part of the first direct US-Hamas talks: youtu.be/tbTQgzn-oxM?...

Israeli soldiers caught on camera punching and kicking man during a home raid in the West Bank tonight

Yahya Sobeih's last post this morning: a picture with his daughter, born earlier today. A few hours later, he was killed in an Israeli airstrike with at least 28 other people in Gaza City. Pictures show parents and children among the dead as people had gathered to find a wifi connection & buy food.

Oh people, is there any news or update? I am not okay. The sky is filled with terrifying, massive warplanes.

Since launch, @dropsitenews.com has had some of the best English-language coverage of the Gaza genocide. They use journalists on the ground and give credence to local sources & political actors-which should be standard for all media but clearly isn't. Happy to have joined their livestream this week.

Israel's prison service put out the image on the left today, of Palestinian prisoners in an Israeli torture camp under a large picture of Gaza's destruction. The guy who runs these camps was in Mar A Lago today, to call for bombing...food (see his own post) in Gaza.

A 2017 Amnesty Intl report on Israeli water policies found Palestinians in the occupied West Bank consume 73 liters per day (WHO recommended daily min is 100L). Israelis living in the same place consume 300L per day. In Gaza today, it's SIX liters per day. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

cowards.

Around the same time the Israelis were firing missiles at tents in the displacement zone in the south, they also hit a tent near Kamal Adwan hospital in the north. Footage is graphic.

10 people burned to death tonight, after an Israeli airstrike, on a tent, in the “humanitarian zone”. Somehow, 18 months in, the apartheid regime still finds a way to shock you with its depravity.

What does it take for someone's soul to be this emptied

Very few people talk about hiding Palestinians and allies and other targeted groups facing this fascist regime’s kidnappings and trains to concentration camps. What does that conversation look like and when does it begin in earnest.

Al-Sharqiya Cemetery, near Gaza City, is the largest cemetery in Gaza. It has been inaccessible since the genocide began and many fear it has been bulldozed and destroyed, along with the remains of our loved ones. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/pale... #Palestine #Israel

Hamas claims it has lost contact with an Israeli-American soldier in its custody, Edan Alexander, after a recent Israeli airstrike. Hamas had agreed to release him early after direct talks between it & the Trump administration. Days later, Israel broke the ceasefire.

From Avi Shlaim's 2024 book Genocide in Gaza: Israel's Long War On Palestine "Those "Gazan monsters" who do not flee abroad, she clarified, should "die horribly" at the hands of "a vengeful and cruel IDF. Anything less than that is immoral"."

Feeling helpless about Palestine? Start by confronting the self-censorship that silences you. That fear is the goal of a decades-long propaganda campaign—and as long as it works, it wins. You don’t have to let it. And you don’t have to compromise your personal beliefs or ethics to speak up.

13/ All were either completely or partially destroyed. Fires broke out across the area, rendering every section out of service.

12/ Anas Al-Sharif: Departments severely damaged at Baptist Hospital in Gaza after the Israeli airstrike include ▪️ Emergency Department ▪️ Laboratory ▪️ Pharmacy ▪️ Reception Area ▪️ Public facilities and hospital vehicles

Btw, Israel issued an evacuation order to the hospital before bombing. So there was no target hiding or receiving treatment inside. The target was the hospital itself.

On Passover, Israel just bombed the Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza. The airstrike has destroyed the surgical ward and the ICU’s oxygen generation plant. What level of depravity have we reached?

This is what happens when you appease Israel and accept its theft of territory in other countries; it just keeps taking more land. Full @dropsitenews.com article on what israel is doing to locals in southern Syria here: t.co/R138fHDxRa

Israeli officials tell the Economist their new goal in Gaza is to create a concentration camp on the coast and declare the rest of the territory "kill zones".

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh apnews.com/article/mahm...

Israel's frequent practice of holding Gazans in pits is repulsive. This is from the only EMT known to have survived the massacre of his 15 colleagues two weeks ago: www.dropsitenews.com/p/red-cresce... via @dropsitenews.com

8 little boys massacred in a single Israeli attack on Shujaiya today.

this is the natural conclusion of every politician, Democrat and Republican, broadly smearing anti-genocide protesters as antisemitic terrorist sympathizers for the last 2 years

For almost 2 weeks, Badar Khan Suri was kept in a room without a bed & with TV blaring 21 hrs/day. He was given used underwear & red uniform "usually reserved" for "high security" detainees. Not allowed to spend more than 2 hrs/week outside dorm. His little son has stopped talking in his absence.

NEWS: Israeli soldiers have shot dead a Palestinian woman near the illegal Israeli settlement of Ariel in the occupied West Bank, claiming she had thrown stones and “intended” to carry out a stabbing attack. The allegation remains unverified, with no independent evidence provided.

From @attackerman.bsky.social's newsletter (which I gladly pay for. You should too.) www.forever-wars.com/el-salvador-...

If any other country murdered an American child, it would be a crisis. But Israel murders a 14-year-old Palestinian-American, & it doesn't even come up when Trump & Netanyahu meet at the White House. For Trump, Israel is above the law, even when they kill an American kid.

Glad this is getting coverage but telling how until the videos were found, most outlets ignored the story even as PCRF & UN officials were telling the world their aid workers had been murdered. Even as it carries out a genocide, the Israeli army's credibility is rarely questioned.

CNN video report and article investigating Israel's killing of 15 medical and aid workers in Rafah: www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/m...

Read her full email, which is included in the article here (kudos to the Verge for publishing it):

Nonstop artillery shelling on Shujaiya in Gaza tonight. Every single one of these shells has a kill radius of 50-150 meters, and they’re being fired into (what’s left of) a densely packed neighborhood.

Almost 100 Palestinians killed in continuous Israeli bombings over the last day, multiple missile strikes on a school-turned-shelter for families who had already been forced to flee. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee Rafah.

@theguardian.com published a visual timeline on the case of the 15 EMTs and rescuers who were found killed by Israeli forces and buried under their crushed ambulances and fire trucks this week: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

This guy just got elected to Congress.

From @attackerman.bsky.social: "...it's hard not to see that inattention as the wages of normalization—and not just from all the times since October 7 that Israel has flattened inhabited buildings in Gaza, but from all the times since 9/11 the U.S. has, too."
