NEW-Israel is using water as a weapon of war in Gaza, creating a deadly health catastrophe. Oxfam's report finds that Israel’s cutting of external water supply, systematic destruction of water facilities and deliberate aid obstruction have reduced the amount of water by 94%.

It is wildly inappropriate for Congress to have extended an invitation for Prime Minister Netanyahu to speak. The invitation lends legitimacy to his deadly siege and bombardment. Our message to him & Congress is simple: do everything in your power to end this conflict. 🧵:

I would like to share with y'all some recent work on economic sanctions and globalization that I've published in a few places. A 🧵 1/n

What an absurd and desperate smear of two brilliant, talented human rights advocates. If association with Negar Mortazavi نگار مرتضوی and Yasmine Taeb is the most damning part of Kamala Harris’s oppo file, she will cruise.

As PM Netanyahu addresses Congress today, Israel is using water as a weapon of war in #Gaza - one of his government's atrocities we expect him to dismiss or defend. What's needed now is urgent pursuit of a ceasefire and hostage deal. oxfamamerica.org/press/congress…

Kamala Harris has the opportunity to offer a U.S. foreign-policy vision that upholds a universal set of rules and norms for the global community, instead of different ones for partners and adversaries. My new piece in ⁦Foreign Policy⁩ foreignpolicy.com/2024/07/24/kam…

Quick fact check for you on all the misleading and outright dishonest statements being made right now on the floor of Congress on Israel's role in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/wate…

Bibi speech described a reality that doesn't exist. Lying about cutting off access to food. Lying about civilian casualties. Avoiding responsibility for 10/7 security failure and diplomatic failure to bring hostages home. Seeking applause for unachievable military objectives.

Just imagine what this speech looks like to the rest of the world - a leader who could never even get this kind of reception in Israel given a platform to gaslight in Congress.

Also: Dems should not be giving a platform to someone who uses it to attack all protesters, compares them to Hamas, and mocks them. We should be building a diverse coalition with energized young voters, not attacking and alienating them.

Nothing PM Netanyahu said in today's speech changes the reality on the ground for Palestinians. Israel continues to obstruct aid, bomb, displace and starve civilians. We need a #ceasefirenow, hostages returned safely, full access for humanitarian aid & to stop arms sales.

"Children are dying of starvation in every part of the Gaza Strip." Oxfam's Scott Paul spoke to One World CNN on the appalling suffering happening in Gaza right now.

Thank you Rep. Jim McGovern for sharing our critical report and firsthand experiences on the destruction of water and sanitation infrastructure inside Gaza by Israeli military operations. We agree-Palestinians need an immediate ceasefire and a surge of unimpeded humanitarian aid now.

🚩🚩🚩🚩The world's leading experts have now announced that famine is underway in Darfur. This is not a drill. Thousands are starving to death. Here's a thread with HRW's reaction ipcinfo.org/fileadmin/user…

This is a massive failure by Sudan's leaders, compounded by a massive failure by the international community. Shame all around. When famine is declared, it's already too late to prevent the worst.

An argument made often by top Biden officials in private is that withholding weapons to Israel wouldn't make a difference; Israel would continue bombing Gaza regardless. New statement from Israel's Defense Ministry suggests the war would be unsustainable w/o U.S.

The 50,000 tons of offensive and defensive weapons and equipment, including armored vehicles, munitions, and ammunition, "are crucial for sustaining the IDF's operational capabilities during the ongoing war," says the Defense Ministry

I have just arrived in Ukraine. In the time since Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2022, Oxfam International and the UN estimate that 14.6 million people in Ukraine need humanitarian assistance, including 1.6 million internally displaced people.

Doubling down on harmful asylum restrictions would be devastating for people seeking safety in the United States. Not only are these policies cruel, they are ineffective. We need a humane & fair asylum system, not one that punishes people seeking safety & returns them to danger.
