Imagine this being printed in a Western outlet... no me neither.

Senators demand CENTCOM clarify US coordination with Israel regarding mass evacuation zones in Lebanon and Iran. The group, led by Sen. Peter Welch, warns the practice likely violate international law by facilitating permanent displacement and civilian deaths.

1 in 5 amputees in Gaza is a child, UN warns amid crisis #palestine #israelpalestinenews

The UN yesterday warned that hunger remains widespread and severe across the Gaza Strip, with millions struggling to access adequate food

In 2025, out of 1,000+ Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank,, 350 targeted Palestinian water sources and infrastructure. That is nearly one attack on Palestinian water resources every day.

Rutgers Engineering School disinvited their commencement speaker Rami Elghandour—a tech entrepreneur, graduate of alumni and executive producer of the Oscar-nominated film The Voice of Hind Rajab. “I think [Palestine] is the moral issue of our time." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"Trump's latest unhinged comments go far beyond mere bellicose rhetoric or even a threat to commit atrocity crimes. They are crimes in and of themselves, aimed to spread terror amid the Iranian civilian population, which U.S. and international law clearly forbid." dawnmena.org/dawn-stateme...

"Even in the Ramla prison hospital, they beat me... Things happened to me that you couldn't even imagine," he wrote" www.haaretz.com/opinion/2026...

Derek R. Peterson, a historian at the University of Michigan and a MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient, used a graduation speech to thank “pro-Palestinian student activists” for “opening our hearts to the injustices and inhumanity of Israel’s war in Gaza.”

This is an Israeli checkpoint created within Gaza. The signage reads: Death to Arabs.

THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF CHILDREN AMPUTEE IN THE WORLD. In Gaza they shape replacements from plastic pipes and wood.💔 The Israeli occupation refuses prosthetics into Gaza 🤬🤬🤬

Remember when Joe Biden personally vetoed sanctioning Ben Gvir even though Blinken recommended it? Also remember when the EU refused to sanction him because of Germany and Hungary? Also remember how people on here told me that this guy isn't that important, he's just the national security minister?

Today is “World Press Freedom Day”. Israel killed well over 200 journalists in Gaza during an ongoing genocide; I spoke to some of them before they were killed, like Hossam Shabat. International journalists are still not let in–and we talk about “press freedom”? What an absolute farce.

“The Christian village of Yaroun in southern Lebanon, before and after it was destroyed by the Israeli army.”

The American impunity shield at work: Normalizing criminality

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s wife, Ayala, presented him with a birthday cake, decorated with a large picture of a noose. 😱🤔 The text around the noose read: “Congratulations to Minister Ben Gvir. Sometimes dreams come true.” www.timesofisrael.com/naftali-has-...

Really honored to be reading with @ahjohnson.bsky.social at @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social on May 21 about his incredible book,

“The Israeli reservist shot 14-year-old Aws al-Naasan in the head just outside the western gate of the Mughayyir boys’ secondary school, where he was studying in ninth grade.”

This journalist was arrested by Israel in May 2025. Inside Israeli prison he lost 130 pounds because the food he was given was inedible.

RT @idreesahmad.bsky.social J.M. Coetzee is a magnificent writer. And, naturally, his rejection of an invitation to a literary festival in Israel is also magnificent. Brief and unsparing. x.com/im_PULSE/sta...

Bit of the latest reporting from Seymour Hersh:

"5-year-old Jad had no prior speech difficulties but after a bombardment near his home, he woke unable to speak. Four-year-old Lucine lost her voice after falling from a 3rd floor when a staircase, damaged by an Israeli air strike, collapsed beneath her." www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

“My daughter choked in my hands. Her color turned blue, her eyes rolled back and she lost all movement." Doctors diagnosed Nour with movement paralysis caused by inhalation of toxic gases. At just 2 days old Nour’s life shifted from a nursery to a hospital bed." www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

The US Congress continues to serve, and to give safe harbor to mass murderers. War criminals who can't go one day without murdering and crippling civilians.

This makes me furious. This needs to stop before Lebanon looks like Gaza

We are proud to announce that +972 Magazine and @mekomit.bsky.social investigative reporter Yuval Abraham has won the award for Outstanding Investigative Reporting at the Fetisov Journalism Awards. This honor recognizes his critical investigations into the genocide in Gaza.

This point is obvious, banal even, but I sense that many scholars, advocates and journalists with deep if conflicted Israeli sympathies, and many hyperpartisan Democrats, would like to avoid or ignore it

Tepid take: Trump’s war on Iran is an outgrowth of Biden’s indispensable support for Israel’s assault on Gaza. The latter cannot be completely separated from or understood without the former

"By May 2024 it was clear the goal wasn't destroying Hamas and freeing hostages.It was to render Gaza unlivable. The destruction of hospitals, schools, desalination and energy plants, entire housing blocks – all an attempt to ensure Palestinians of Gaza could not renew their existence as a group."
