For over 3 months, we have heard international leaders including British call on Israel not to invade Rafah, that it would be unacceptable. Biden said it was a 'red line' in March. Hamas accepted a deal - Netanyahu's response was to invade. 1/

Mitt Romney says support for a nationwide ban on TikTok is connected to the 'overwhelming' volume of 'mentions of Palestinians' on the popular platform.

Israel deliberately blocked aid into Gaza until starvation set in. Under pressure it allowed more aid but now says it has closed the aid crossings for imperative security reasons- “sorry, nothing we can do.” There is something to do: obey intl law and ensure aid to civilians.

Instead of responding positively to the Palestinian acceptance of the proposed ceasefire agreement the Israeli tanks and army invaded and occupied the Palestinian side of Rafah crossing blocking completely the passage for people and humanitarian aid.

This is the ceasefire proposal Hamas has accepted, and Israel rejected

It goes to show the narrative of the war ends when Hamas releases all hostages is false

Israel has no intent of withdrawing from Netzarim corridor on Gaza

NEW―Israel's humanitarian spin about the launch of its Rafah assault obscures ground truths: far >100k are fleeing but finding new refuges is impossible; 'safe areas' are vulnerable + unfit; aid flows will take an unimaginable hit when they are most needed

'The Israeli position now is anyone who disagrees with them is Hamas.'

Watch & share my full response to an Israeli colonel accusing me of 'parroting Hamas talking points' on CNN tonight, and watch me calling out the Israeli military's Gaza lies, which even CNN has debunked:

There’s been a growing understanding that end of the war in Gaza could mark the end of Netanyahu's leadership, while its continuation would likely result in the end of the Biden administration.

The dehumanisation and erasure of Palestinians continues.

Come see how the Pulitzer Prizes described the Special Citation award when they were awarding it to Ukrainians. Palestinians simply do not exist to these people.

We need to consider what might be lost in rush to shutdown protests.
For democracy, the right to protest isn’t merely a virtuous talking point for politicians. It is as essential as the vote if we are to hold power to account
My essay in ⁦The Guardian⁩ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Israel intel chiefs warned government ONLY a political solution can defeat Hamas, and Israel can’t mass slaughter and starve its way out of underlying crisis with Palestinians.

Netanyahu’s vengeance atrocity assures endless reprisal wars.

Saudi Arabia accuses Israel of forcibly displacing Palestinians from Gaza, & calls on the Int’l community to stop the “genocide carried out by the occupation forces against defenseless civilians.”
Israel rejects MBS’ normalization in exchange of ending occupation and 2S solution.

Genocidal threats are routinely promoted on 🇮🇱 TV…Israeli leaders and ministers calling for total destruction & more slaughter, incl. 600k Palestinian children in Rafah deemed subhuman animals.
Unconditional support and impunity breeds genocidal maniacs.

Hamas agrees to ceasefire but ‘deal’ not acceptable to Israel

Secondo l’ONU: “390 cadaveri sono stati riesumati da fosse comune negli ospedali di Nasser e Al Shifa, compresi quelli di donne e bambini; molti di essi, mostrano segni di tortura, esecuzioni sommarie e persone sepolte vive.”
Il genocidio di Gaza e’ la rovina morale di Israele.

15.000 bambini uccisi, 20.000 bambini orfani, e i Governi occidentali che fanno? Nessuna sanzione, nessun fatto concreto anzi, ARRESTANO e PICCHIANO gli STUDENTI, in ogni parte del mondo, che MANIFESTANO per la fine di questo MASSACRO!!

Reminder that the EU has sanctioned Russian journalists and academics for saying 5% of this below

Un milione e mezzo di persone senza casa, senza cibo, senza assistenza medica dovrebbero lasciare le loro tendopoli per evitare di essere ammazzati dalle bombe dell'esercito israeliano. Chi non vede tragedia e assurdità in tutto questo ha perso la ragione e l'umanità.
