It's surreal how she has a sweet smile on her face in spite of everything she's going through. Her message should be heard by everyone.

Footage has surfaced online showing blindfolded and detained Palestinians being transported by Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza. The video shows Palestinians on the backs of Israeli military trucks wearing what appear to be hazmat suits while blindfolded, being driven to an unknown location:

"The mass killing and the destruction of the conditions for life that the attack in the Gaza Strip is causing is not an unintended result of the response to the Hamas attack on October 7, but a goal in itself. They are a component of the overall Israeli strategy ..." 1/

Children torn to pieces. Witness accounts of tired and starving mothers running away with their surviving children while leaving behind the limbs of the their killed children on the floor of bombed shelters.

Welp. So the *faculty* got suspended for their “study-in” protest in which they simply read books on free speech and displayed small signs quoting the library’s own mission statement.

Hearing some progressives argue that Jill Stein is some sort of anti-imperialist, anti-war candidate, or some sort of viable moral protest vote just makes me think that people are willing to ignore inconvenient history. You can't "educate" a candidate who looked at Syria or Ukraine & said "okay."

After every protest, authorities say: "You are protesting the wrong way, you need to do it this way instead." Protesters: * protest in the suggested manner * Authorities: "No, not like that."

What is happening in North Gaza is facilitating a population wipeout. No food, no water, just barrels of explosives falling on displaced and entrapped families and children. This unmitigated cruelty should make the entire world stop in its tracks, but instead it has been turned 'business as usual'

Seeing such a tiny girl walk miles on her feet carrying her sister on her back should break all of us. We must all see this and look at her face.

There is enough evidence here for several war crimes tribunals to examine, not one. Much of this info was available to the US State Department, yet, they concluded Israel's army was not violating US law.

I should not have read this before sleeping. Might be the most horrible document of human behavior i have ever read. If you want to see how genocide thinks - here you go.

After it gaslit everyone into thinking Palestinians bombed their own hospital (Al-Ahli), levelled another it said without proof was a “Hamas command centre” (Al-Shifa), Israel has absolutely relinquished any benefit of doubt when it comes to assessing hospitals Don’t believe it on Al-Sahel

Remember the “Hamas command centre” under Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza? You know the one for which Israel and the US couldn’t produce any evidence, even after flattening the medical centre? That’s this again. Manufacturing consent for massacres www.theguardian.com/world/2024/o...

Look at the horror of the last year in Gaza: it can still get much worse, if this is allowed to continue. This is where it is going. The elimination of Palestinians between the river and the sea through direct killing, siege, and expulsion. It can happen in mere 2-3 years.

Barring international press, barring UN orgs, barring humanitarian aid, barring medical orgs, cutting off telecom are ways to fast-track ethnic cleanisng, starvation & mass atrocities in Gaza. Not 1 condemnation from the Biden/Harris regime--only rewards.

"In a testimony to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in June, Zaken said that on many occasions, soldiers had to “run over terrorists, dead and alive, in the hundreds.”" -- and when they say terrorists, they really mean Palestinian men. period. This genocide is continuously unfolding.

In Jabalia, the Israeli army is bulldoziung homes in real time with innocent families screaming inside. This US govt funded extermination campaign is santizied in our media feeds with banal headlines like "Scores dead in Gaza" --- Out of breath and out of words.

We've long known about this atrocity, but academics, media figures, and govt mouthpieces have done crazy gymnastics to avoid calling these actions what they are: war crimes. Our lives and bodily integrity as Palestinian men are deemed of such little value to many in these 'esteemed' professions

From Sunday: Al Jazeera publishes video of Israeli military using captive Palestinians as human shields – sending them into boobytrapped buildings and tunnels as defenseless, camera-rigged minesweepers: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSbW...

“Hints” is a stupid word in the headline. But what the article details is a plan for mass murder and forced displacement. Future generations will wonder why we let this happen.

Palestinians are being burned alive. Are you reading the same headlines we're reading?

Videos of displaced families burning in their tents, photos of human shreds, and screaming children holding onto the leg of their dead mother cannot be the new normal. These are mass atrocities, and I wish political scientists weren't turning their eyes away. Make your opposition noted and publicly.

If you are thinking about publishing a piece about the great opportunities Israel has opened for Lebanon, please pause, take a deep breath, and then drop a 2000 pound bomb on your laptop.

“Israeli security forces have deliberately killed, detained and tortured medical personnel and targeted medical vehicles” in Gaza, according to the report by the UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry

"US credibility, already compromised by Washington’s close alliances with the repressive likes of Egypt, Saudi Arabia & the UAE, has been profoundly undermined by Biden’s aiding & abetting of Israeli war crimes in Gaza..that vote could have resulted in an overwhelming repudiation of the Biden admin"

This only enables more mass atrocities.

"The results of this study suggest indiscriminate bombing in dangerous proximities to hospital infrastructure, which is afforded special protection under international humanitarian law (IHL)." - Next time a state dept spox claims, we're still gathering evidence, hand him a copy.

Hala Rharrit, an 18-year veteran of the US Foreign Service, explains why she resigned from the State Dept. due to US policy under Biden with respect to Israel/Gaza. She also shares how US policy supports violations of international law and argues that current US policy violates US law as well.

Universities should stop calling the police on peaceful student protestors. This would show commitment to the rights of free expression and assembly and better protect students, say @daniellalock.bsky.social & Alex Benn politicalquarterly.org.uk/blog/univers... #University #Protest #UKpolitics

Netanyahu warns Lebanon to “throw out Hezbollah” (as if that were something any Lebanese actor could do) to avoid “destruction like we see in Gaza.” If international law still meant anything, the ICJ and ICC would be taking careful notes and disregard the passive voice. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The UNGA declared Israel’s presence is unlawful and must end “without delay.” Last week’s General Assembly vote upholds the International Court of Justice ruling. Read the full story by @kellyzvobgo.bsky.social here: goodauthority.org/news/the-u-n...

Israel's large defense firms have European subsidiaries that manufacture components for Israeli weapons systems. Israel fears that arms embargoes by the U.K., Germany and other countries will impair their ability to supply critical equipment to Israel Oded Yaron www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

US: we don’t mind if you do genocide or launch new wars, just don’t surprise us so we can be ready to help Israel: surprise! US: oh you kid. Here’s some more new weapons but we’re gonna leak to Axios that we mad.

Palestinians aren't "caught in the middle" of anything. They are the target. In Gaza, in the West Bank, and in Lebanon. Their expulsion, ethnic cleansing, and killing is not a "consequence"--it's been the aim as we've seen throughout this past year. Call out narratives that routinize our slaughter.

Barricaded by barbed-wire fences, tanks and soldiers, civilians in Gaza are effectively imprisoned in a 141-square-mile strip of land between Egypt and Israel that has become a killing zone. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/07/w...

Israel’s siege now blocks 83% of food aid reaching Gaza, new data shows in joint press release by 14 aid organizations. 1.87 million people in need of shelter but only 25,000 tents have entered Gaza. www.nrc.no/news/2024/se...

This was an Israeli missile attack on a displaced persons camp with over 200 tents. People are not "feared" killed. People were killed. Not knowing the precise number of deaths does not change that.
