“Israel has suffered a horrifying terrorist attack and deserves the world’s sympathy and support, but it should not get a blank check to slaughter civilians or to deprive them of food, water and medicine,” writes Nicholas Kristof. Read: nyti.ms/3FueUsB

“What are we to make of the Biden administration’s call for an add’l $14BN in assistance for Israel & simultaneous call for humanitarian aid for Gazans?…the idea that we will help pay for humanitarians to mop up the blood caused in part by our weapons?” nytimes.com/2023/10/21/opi…

An IDF spokesperson went on CNN and the BBC with a printed-out screenshot from an Al Jazeera livestream showing this projectile, claiming it was the rocket that hit the hospital. We also believe that American officials are incorrectly assessing this to be a Palestinian rocket.

7,028 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza. Here is the list of their names and ages. President Donald J. Trump #ceasefire

The courage of Wael Al Dahdouh is extraordinary.

Gaza is under intense bombing. Telecommunications have been cut. We can't get through to our family who have been trapped in this war zone for almost 3 weeks. We can only pray they survive the night. How many more children have to die before the world says enough?

People in Gaza are dying in the darkness. This unthinkable horror cannot be undone — and history will not forgive those who refused to treat Israeli and Palestinian lives with equal worth. Please, we need a ceasefire, now.

We have lost touch with our staff in Gaza, with health facilities, health workers and the rest of our humanitarian partners on the ground. This siege makes me gravely concerned for their safety and the immediate health risks of vulnerable patients. We urge immediate protection

Even the United Nations is saying it has lost touch with its staff in Gaza. For days the UN has been urgently pleading for a humanitarian ceasefire - saying it would have to halt its humanitarian support if there is no fuel.

Children are now beginning to die of starvation & dehydration in Gaza. The U.S. must immediately begin a massive humanitarian airdrop to the hardest-hit areas. And we must DEMAND that Netanyahu open the borders and let aid in at the scale necessary.

The US is considering dropping aid to Gaza over the weekend, just as a few other countries have. What stops Israel from shooting at people going towards that aid? How does the US have the audacity to airdrop aid as it supports the constructs of the violent regime. This is absurd.

The most powerful country in the history of the world will airdrop humanitarian aid past its ally that created the humanitarian crisis with its weapons and its political support.

Thinking about the US having to airdrop food because we don’t even have enough control over the war we’re funding and enabling to coordinate land passage for aid trucks.

No war crimes are being committed by our strongest ally in the Middle East, they say at the podium, as they are forced to airdrop aid for starving babies because that "ally" is blocking aid trucks and having bouncy castle parties as they do it.

Frankly I don’t know why anybody of Biden or Trump’s age would *want* to be President. I’m 60 and I don’t even want to go upstairs.

Biden is not looking or sounding good. Trump isn't telling the truth, but he appears sharper and more capable than Biden.

Trump's pivot regarding January 6th is hilarious. He basically was like "let me tell you other things that happened on January 6th." His audacity is unmatched. #Debates2024

Biden is saying true shit incoherently. Trump is saying fake shit coherently. We’re fucked. #Debates2024
