Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and

The suffering of civilians in Gaza would not have happened without your direct assistance, acceptance, and complicity. Words are not enough; you need to show some actual leadership.

The entire international community is responsible for this, and no one has a good excuse. Just a complete failure of global leadership.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU

Words without action are not leadership.

Every child who dies of starvation in Gaza from this point forward will be the responsibility of the entire international community. No one in a position of global leadership has any excuse for letting Israel starve Gazans to death.

I know it's just Twitter, but I will just keep retweeting this over and over again, no matter how shadowbanned it is. I can't say it any more plainly than this.

None of these “leaders” will ever be able to live down their complicity in, and acceptance of, the destruction of Gaza and its people. It’s how they’ll be remembered the rest of their lives and in the future, long after they’re gone. It will be their legacy.

I am a historian of this period of American and international history, and have written about MLK and the US State, and I wouldn’t believe a word I would see in any FBI file on MLK.

This doctor’s crime was writing an oped for the New York Times and speaking to western media. For that he is being relentlessly tortured.

The passive language, the insistence that there are two sides in a "conflict" fighting a "war", calling for the "war" to end without specifying who can end it, this is the language of failed leaders, who are complicit with atrocities and trying to shed their responsibility.
