The UN reports that, contrary to public promises, the Israeli military radically increased its obstruction of aid to North Gaza. Even after they clear all inspection and rerouting demands, Israel now bans more than two out of three aid convoys. ochaopt.org/content/humani… by @OCHAopt

Man, who could have predicted that giving 100 days of ironclad support to an Israeli prime minister who has spent decades telling Democratic presidents to go fuck themselves might end with that prime minister 'rejecting most of [your] recent requests' axios.com/2024/01/14/bid…

one way you can tell that tiktok increasingly sets the culture on social media is the proliferation of 100K-interaction tweets accusing KFC of masterminding made-up geopolitical events

Only 27% of Americans consistently support democracy according to a 7-year study published today by Democracy Fund, called Democracy Hypocrisy: Examining America’s Fragile Democratic Convictions. Among this group, 45% are Democrats, 13% are Republicans, and 18% are Independents.

At this point like 80% of non-journalists I follow on Instagram have shared Israel-Gaza misinfo. Not just little rumors, QAnon-level stuff. Ironically most also share posts saying you can't trust the lying MSM.

90 percent of the population in Gaza say they regularly go without food for a whole day — with some children eating rotten tomatoes they find in the streets while others huddle over a phone to watch someone eating fries online. nytimes.com/2024/01/01/wor…

The great danger is that ideology + tribe make us inhuman. We avert our eyes when the victims are ideologically inconvenient. Israel's critics, especially, must read this. Then fight for an Israel-Palestine where this never happens again, to anyone nytimes.com/2023/12/28/wor…

The naked racism on display here is stunning. Anti-Palestinian racism and demonization, and support for ethnic cleaning, has been normalized in our political and media discourse.

A year ago today, Netanyahu's government was sworn into office. How did it manage to make so much damage in so little time? Three factors stand out: populism, polarization and the personalization of politics. My long-ish read on Israel's annus horribilis:

The evidence gathered in this sweeping NYTimes investigation shows mass rape and sexualized violence by Hamas in multiple locations on 10/7, including against children, strongly suggesting this was a premeditated strategy nytimes.com/2023/12/28/wor…

About 24% of West Bank jobs have evaporated since Oct 7th due to work permits being suspended.
Another ~25% depend on PA salaries.
So that’s HALF of total income in WB in jeopardy. At most violent & unstable moment in decades.
Using “security” as the argument in both instances

“It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed. How quickly it has happened, in just a matter of two months.”

Despite the tough talk from Israeli officials, this is probably the last large-scale operation of the war. American pressure is mounting; so is damage to the Israeli economy from long mobilization. But lower-intensity war will bring little relief for Gaza. economist.com/middle-east-an…

As Barbara Kunz & I write in our forthcoming chapter to my ed. volume: the 🇩🇪 nuclear debate has in recent years moved from the fringes of elite circles to the mainstream of politics. Similar voices/calls like Fischer: Merz, Schäuble, Kiesewetter, Wadephul, Heusgen, Frei, Weber.

Earlier this week, a journalist in Gaza made one of the war's grimmest discoveries: four dead babies, their bodies decomposing on the beds in Al-Nasr Hospital where they had been left. This is the story of what happened: wapo.st/47GKLm8 [paywall free]

I've done fact-checking during several conflicts. Never have I seen one where so much disinformation is posted with the direct intent of dehumanising real victims of war on both sides.

Dead or injured women and children, civilians, hostages, prisoners; no-one is being spared.
