'Qatar was not surreptitiously funneling illicit funds to Gaza. It did what Israel asked and Israel condoned. This may be uncomfortable for some to admit, but those are the facts. Israel encouraged Qatar to funnel money to Gaza because it served a policy.' haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

For months ME journalists and analysts warned Israel’s objective in Gaza was depopulation…otherwise known as ethnic cleansing.
Now that 2 Israeli ministers confirm, the Biden admin must answer if US Gov’t will continue to unconditionally support Israel’s ethnic cleansing plans?

Half of Gazans are at risk of starving and more than 90 percent say they have regularly gone without food for a whole day, according to the United Nations. nytimes.com/2024/01/01/wor…

Extra! Read all about it: Top Israeli military and legal officials are concerned The Hague will charge Israel with genocide.

Question: If they are not committing genocide in Gaza, why are they so concerned about being charged with it at the International Court of Justice? 🧐

Coerced emigration achieved through acts such as the mass displacement of civilians, military attacks on civilian areas, and wanton destruction of property constitutes ethnic cleansing under international law.

I didn't exactly have a rosy view of the global system beforehand but the last three months have been very difficult to witness. I am hoping that in 2024, somehow, we can start to build a world that is more human

Something that strikes me about Palestinian journalists. They lay press vests on coffins, they wear them to funerals. They are proud of their profession and they honour it. And yet so many journalists are silent about what is happening to them. They deserve our solidarity.

Israeli government ministers keep saying the loud part, even louder. Here is a call for strategic ethnic cleansing by making the conditions in Gaza worse. They will want to leave because 'they've been living in a ghetto for 75 years'

Western media reporting on Gaza is one of the great scandals of our time.

From the start, Israeli leaders and officials have been loudly mixing genocidal rhetoric with commitments to ethnic cleansing.

They couldn't have been less subtle.

This is not reflected in the coverage.

The “pressure” is not real. It’s fake. It’s been 12 weeks and US support still has ZERO conditions, limits or red lines. Blinken just fast tracked another $146M in artillery shells. Im begging news outlets to stop running liberal PR cover for the WH. It’s half ass moral pantomime

U.S. liberals who won’t call for a ceasefire think they look reasonable because Biden and congress are with them. But 80% of the countries on earth, 80% of their party, and international organizations want peace. The U.S. is just so far right that enabling genocide is bipartisan.
