"Three [IDF] soldiers took turns RAPING [a Palestinian] with an M16 [assault rifle]". He "was visibly bleeding from his bottom". There're dozens of 1st hand testimonies of Palestinians raped by the Israel. Will Kamala Harris screen a documentary about them at the White House?

As the new school year begins, Palestinian students in Gaza cannot access education due to Israel’s systemic attacks on the education system, known as "scholasticide." Education is a vital pillar of resilience, resistance, & hope for Palestinians. #EndScholasticide

WATCH: An interview with Milena Ansari from @HRW who spoke with Walid Khalili, an ambulance driver in Gaza who Israel held captive in its torture camps. "It's sexual violence, it's rape, its medical neglect, it's the deprivation of food, and it's all happening all at once

Israeli authorities' ongoing attacks on water, sanitation, & health infrastructure has led to Palestine's 1st detected polio case in 25 years. Humanitarians are racing to vaccinate ~ 640k kids. The Israeli military should end the blockade of Gaza & allow full humanitarian access.

Children in Gaza who contract polio and acquire a disability are also at unique risks of death, injury, and other harms already experienced by the nearly 100,000 children in Gaza who had a #disability prior to Israel's military offensive and the siege.

Israel now seems to be using the same starvation strategy in the West Bank's Jenin as it did in Gaza, even though the International Criminal Court prosecutor has charged Netanyahu and Gallant for that war crime. aje.io/aa92yx?update=…
