Pope Francis said that there couldn’t be peace without justice, called to investigate the Gaza genocide, referred to Israeli killings as terrorism, called Gaza every evening, canonized two Palestinian saints, recognized Palestine & demanded a ceasefire in Gaza. Rest in Peace 🇵🇸🇻🇦

I’m shocked by the arrest of Ali Samoudi — a well-respected, 58-year-old veteran journalist in poor health, with over 30 years of reporting for major local and international media outlets including CNN & Reuters. #JournalismIsNotACrime #AliSamoudi cnn.com/2025/04/29/mid…

Worth mentioning that Ali was injured when Israeli forces killed our friend and colleague Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin refugee camp, in the northern West Bank, on 11 May 2022. He still has shrapnel in his body, including his head.

Israeli forces demolished nine homes, five tents, and five animal pens... That's pretty much all of Khalet AlDabe' in Masafer Yatta.

... as words lose their moral gravitas, it's more important than ever to observe how the Israeli discourse shapes the collective consciousness about the Palestinians. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

The war in Gaza has killed nearly 16,000 children since October 2023, most of whom have died in indiscriminate bombings. Yet a deeply unsettling subset of these deaths stands apart - children arriving at trauma centres with gunshot wounds. youtu.be/t-0zrQZWwDE?si…

It's been so different since you were killed by Israeli soldiers in Jenin three years ago. The only constant remains our demands for #JusticeForShireen.

This is the checkpoint of Deir Sharaf, west of Nablus. It’s only one of nearly 900 checkpoints and obstacles across the occupied West Bank; a steep increase on the 645 in 2023 and the highest in two decades, according to the UN.

The night did not fall. It broke. A sound tore through the silence, not like thunder, but like something deeper collapsing, something within the world itself. News came: an entire residential block crushed into dust. We ran. We didn’t speak. There was no room for thoughts, no

The Flotilla Giants are approaching Gaza, scheduled to arrive tomorrow. It is not only the aid, it is the HUMANITY THEY CARRY. For all of us. May Israel not endanger them as with the previous flotilla. MAY THIS BE THE TIME ISRAEL LAYS DOWN THE GENOCIDAL MACHINERY.

By forcibly intercepting and blocking the Madleen, Israel has once again ignored its legal obligations towards civilians in the occupied Gaza Strip. The crew were unarmed activists and human rights defenders on a humanitarian mission. They must be released immediately and

This genocide will haunt us. It will echo down history with the force of a tsunami. It will divide us forever. There is no going back. And how will we remember? By not remembering.

The university, which has taken a heavy-handed approach to suppressing student protests against Israel’s war in Gaza, paid $800K to City Shield’s parent company… There is no evidence investigators surveilled anyone aside from pro-Palestinian activists. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Here are some FACTs: - The US is 9.867 million km² - Israel was established on the wake on Nakba on mandatory Palestine in 1948 - It illegally occupied the rest of Palestine; the West Bank and Gaza, in 1967 - This is not a religious conflict

Israel imposed a closure on the occupied West Bank after Iran strike, almost all 900 checkpoints are closed, new gates are installed trapping Palestinians in cities, villages and refugee camps. Below for a new gate set up near Sinjel, north of Ramallah.

Death toll in Gaza, as reported by the Palestinian Health Ministry, understates true scale of the crisis, researchers say. Hunger, disease, and Israeli gunfire at food distribution centers made the war in the Strip one of the bloodiest of the 21st century haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
