Friends, a funny but cautionary tale of how wrong GROK gets things. I am neither Jewish, nor "Whitewashing myself" nor Antisemitic. Follow this thread my pal @maassp.bsky.social posted..you may need to go back to Peter's account to follow the whole damn thread...which gets comically absurd

Israel has just wiped out an entire Al Jazeera unit! Israel kills Al Jazeera journalists in targeted Gaza City airstrike cpj.org?p=503486

Did we learn anything from Srebrenica? www.thenationalnews.com/opinion/comm...

“What’s happening in Gaza is deliberate, inhumane, and beyond any justification. No decent society can stay silent.” — Janine di Giovanni (@janinedigi.bsky.social), CEO and Executive Director, The Reckoning Project (@trpforjustice.bsky.social)

"(the EU) could reclaim its place as a regional power, not just a trade bloc. ... Most importantly, it could demonstrate that the EU is not just a cheque book for humanitarian aid but a credible broker for peace." My Op Ed in today's The National www.thenationalnews.com/opinion/comm...

I've been fortunate enough to work under one of journalism's best editors @DavidMFriend1 who is leaving @VanityFair after 27 years. Here's our last reportage together, out in this month's issue. I returned to #Syria after a decade away...to find a new country. www.vanityfair.com/news/return-...

Tragedy: Jewish couple killed in DC. Shooter WAS NOT Arab or Palestinian. It's called "a red line." West Bank: @IDF shoots at diplomats from Ireland, France (countries condemning Israel's actions in Gaza) Italy, Turkey diplomats. No "red line" bbc.com/news/article...

@TheEconomist is now saying 100k may have died in #Gaza How many hypocrites who were afraid to take a stand will now come forward and finally condemn #Israel for their genocidal policies in #Gaza? But it's too late Too many dead, too many maimed, too much pain. www.economist.com/interactive/...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Thank you @SweMFA for hosting @TRPforJustice's conference "Human Rights in a Turbulent World" in Stockholm last week. Sweden supports our urgent work tracking 19k Ukrainian kids deported to Russia. We at @TRPforJustice are deeply grateful to the Swedish people for their commitment to justice.

Another friend wins #Pulitzer2025 ! @MosabAbuToha my dear friend, who worked side by side with me in #Gaza - I am so very proud of your courage and your stand for what is right, for your commitment to human rights. And for Gaza Mabrouk, brother تهانينا www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

Congratulations to dear friend @nicoletung.bsky.social, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Photojournalism. A big talent and an empathetic eye. Nicole and I covered many miles together in Syria, Iraq, Kurdistan, Libya, Egypt and most notably - Gaza. Here, training with the White Helmets

Everyone should read this - how Antisemitism is being weaponized by the media @theintercept @nytimes @pressfreedom How the New York Times Distorts the Antisemitism Debate on College Campuses theintercept.com/2025/04/30/h...

“We spend our days between looking for water and food and charging batteries so we can see at night, and waiting to die,” said Mohammed Murtaja, 25. He lives in Gaza City with about 40 relatives and eats once a day at most. The siege of Gaza must be lifted.

Sweden, EU should take action to stop Israel’s atrocities in Gaza www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...

Israel must lift the siege of Gaza.

Apparently babies in #Gaza are so weakened by malnutrition according @unicef.org that they don’t have energy to cry. This is on Israel. Their society will have to live with this in their collective conscience forever.

Do Not Obey in Advance Are we going to go with the flow or are we going to stand...against the current?" -Lesson 1 "On Tyranny" @TimothyDSnyder

This is not antisemitism. @itamarbengvir is a war criminal w/ dozens of indictments; at least 8 convictions. He incites hate and violence. He should be behind bars. Not speaking at one of the world's most elite universities @Yale. yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/04...

Vaya con Dios Pope Francis. The most beautiful soul. @pontiflex.bsky.social

Happy Easter to all who celebrate. My thoughts and prayers, as always, are with the civilians of Gaza whose suffering is endless. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

I don’t know about you but I’m taking #Harvard brave “NO” to the demands of the White House - and the graduation ceremony with plenty of #Palestine flags - as the first sign of hope in 2 months. If Harvard doesn’t kneel - neither should we. Keep going. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

As a mother, I can not imagine the pain of being a Mom in #Gaza, trying to protect your kids from bombs, from hunger, from fear, from immense trauma. Read @amnesty's excellent testimony. ‘To be a mother during genocide is to fight, every minute, every second’ www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...

Master class @journalismfest w/ @KenRoth "The Godfather of Human Rights" on his new book "Righting Wrongs" Audience got lessons on facing down authoritarian rule - and the powerful advocacy tool of "shaming" governments into doing better

The new US Ambassador to Israel is a supporter of the settler movement and thinks there is no such thing as Palestinian identity. Can it get any worse? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/w...

GREAT panel @FbdnStories @ARIJNetwork @manisha_bot #TheGazaProject If you are a journalist and you aren't standing up for our colleagues in #Gaza who are being deliberately targeted and killed by @IDF - then you need to get some backbone and speak out. www.journalismfestival.com/programme/20...

“We knew on October 7, there would be an October 8…” but no one predicted the scale of the horror that Israel would inflict on #Gaza Amazing panel brave Israeli journalists @journalismfest @972mag www.journalismfestival.com/programme/20...

Headed to @journalismfestival.com in Perugia - a place of great inspiration about how we keep our noble profession noble in dark times. On 12/4 I sit down with @kenroth.bsky.social to discuss his new book. On 11/4 I’m discussing ethical ways to document sexual violence. See below for details.

18 months since the war in Gaza started 18 months since.. the @IDF killed more than 50k people - most women and kids. killed more than 173 Palestinian journalists Killed 403 aid workers destroyed more than 70% buildings in Gaza. left 17,000 kids orphaned or separated in Gaza How much is enough?

How can anyone be silent about #Gaza after watching this? @IDF deliberately executed #Gazan medics/ Then lied about it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

When you get to interview one of your heroes @journalismfestival.com / @kenroth.bsky.social - an inspiration to all human rights defenders in dark times. Read his book “Righting Wrongs” - 30 years on frontline battling abusive governments.

CEO @janinedigi.bsky.social will be speaking at the @journalismfestival.com in Perugia next week. She will interview TRP Board Member, Kenneth Roth, on defending human rights in a time of decline, and will also join a panel on ethical storytelling in gender-related crimes #IJF25

I am so disappointed @booker.senate.gov whom I previously had deep respect for… Gallant is a war criminal. There is an arrest warrant waiting for him at The Hague for using starvation as a tool of war against Gaza civilians. Come on Cory. Where’s your moral clarity?

“No matter how much violence is done to Palestinians, we must not normalize it.”

Goodbye Hossam Shabat. Only 23 years old. Killed in Gaza by Israel for telling the truth. International journalists are banned from Gaza (unless they’re @IDF lapdogs) So Hosam and his colleagues were our eyes and ears in the middle of hell. Journalists are not a target.

CEO @janinedigi.bsky.social joined @france24.com to speak about the urgent need to confront double standards in war and humanitarian aid. At TRP, we work to ensure that all conflicts are met with equal standards of #accountability, #justice, and international response

Hey @MichelleObama @HillaryClinton @sherylsandberg - you’re all for girl power, right? So where the hell are you for standing up for our sisters in Gaza getting mowed down by Israel’s bombs? What are you afraid or? @CATPOWER

18 months watching #Gaza's agony. Witnessing double standards the int'l community has condemning Putin for Ukraine -but allowing Israel to get away with numerous war crimes. I lost my temper on @france24.com @theworldthiswweek.bsky.social @gavinlee.bsky.social www.reddit.com/r/WomenInNew...

Some great points by this journalist, @janinedigi.bsky.social

The International Court of Justice must order Israel to halt its current offensive in Gaza, restore humanitarian access to Feb. 2025 levels, and not displace civilians from their land. The situation has changed and the Court must act. My latest with Jasmin Nessa @justsecurity.org

The rules do not apply. The rule of law The rules of war Rules based order Geneva Convention no longer exists UN Charter? Up in smoke International law ignored and scorned The 1990s- which I thought of as a time of brutal wars - suddenly looking more gentle than now to me

The Reckoning Project has been deeply committed to tracking stolen Ukrainian kids to Russia for the past three years. Follow our important work @trpforjustice.bsky.social

Serbia. Hungary. Turkey. Israel

Israel's Defense Minister issues an unlawful threat / advance confession to the civilian population of Gaza: Making civilians the object of attack Threats of violence to spread terror Collective punishment Forcible displacement

One by one by one….anyone seen to be calling out Israel’s crimes simply disappear into the untraceable prison system… Remind you of anything? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

If you are Israeli and you aren't on the street right now protesting what your government is doing in #Gaza - just so Netanyahu can stay in power - then you are complicit in mass murder. Horrific images coming out of Gaza now - mainly kids. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

The minute a bomb drops on #Ukraine, European Parliament calls out war crimes. Yet hundreds dead in Gaza in 24 hours -mainly kids - and not a word from Brussels. @vonderleyen deafening silence. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ca...
