It’s not easy for me to write this, but my community Masafer Yatta will be destroyed unless more activists and journalists don’t urgently come and join us on the ground. Settlers are now in Khalet Al-Dabia village 24/7 after the army destroyed it.

Have BBC impartiality guidelines always required its presenters to repeat justifications for genocide at the conclusion of every report?

BREAKING: Al-Awda-ziekenhuis in Noord-Gaza is nu buiten dienst na een ontruimingsbevel van Israël. WHO helpt morgen mee aan de evacuatie. Hierbij is er geen functionerend ziekenhuis meer over in Noord-Gaza.

Khallet a-Dabe' is under grave risk of forcible transfer, by settlers who have taken over residential caves, with the full support of the Israeli government.

No, Marco Rubio, it is not "standing with the Jewish people" to back Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza. Jewish people around the world depend on the human rights standards that Netanyahu is shredding. Don't equate the current ruthless Israeli government with "the Jewish people."

Ceasefires are by nature temporal, urgent, uncertain. But they inherently strive to be permanent. The Israeli scheme around a temporary ceasefire is a euphemism for its license to continue destroying Gaza and its people. And Witkoff is in on it. What happened to being impartial?

The catch with Macron's statement is recognition "with conditions". The main condition is full disarmament of Hamas & Palestinian armed groups & exile of leaders, which he know won't happen So it's an excuse to not recognise Palestine while fawning sympathy with empty statements

Imagine living in a world where you could get arrested or suspended for saying don't kill children, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.

🚨Important: Hamas did NOT reject a "ceasefire deal" They are demanding that the deal includes a commitment to end the genocide The current proposal is merely a 60-day pause to get Israeli captives out, then back to genocide (Hamas didn't reject it yet)

We are back to the blaming game while the people of #Gaza are starving + trying to survive heavy bombardments. There are reports that 900 trucks were sent in the past two weeks. That’s just over 10 per cent of the daily needs of people in #Gaza The aid that’s being sent now

The EU can put pressure on Israel argues Nathalie Tocci “Suspending preferential trade means withholding a benefit of the association agreement & this falls within remit of EU trade policy, which only requires a qual. majority of states voting in favour.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Yes, I wept... I wept with a pain I had never known before, feeling a crushing humiliation weighing down on me. The lack of food forced me to stand in a long line at the American aid distribution center, walking on foot, burdened by pain, broken from within. Thousands of people

This month has seen a growing number of officials, public figures, and individuals come out of the closet with public statements that they can no longer support Israel. All well and good, and only a fool would claim these testimonies are politically insignificant and should be

It is a political choice to starve Gaza’s population. And a political choice to give Israel a free hand, or assist it, to continue its genocide.

Macron warns the West could lose credibility over Ukraine and Gaza wars… Seriously? Credibility was lost 19 months ago, the result of the West complicity or inaction to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. And it will take far more than words for it to be restored. bbc.com/news/articles/…
