The Post contacted 25 aid groups, U.N. agencies and donor countries to ask about aid delivery to Gaza and found that Israeli authorities have denied or restricted access to items ranging from lifesaving medical supplies to toys to chocolate croissants.

After treating activists trying to stop a world-recognized genocide with contempt and ridicule, I'm sure the local right wing and attendant media companies will fall over themselves lauding this.

It's normalizing political, economic and physical violence against protesters. Local media, which love slandering the poor and marginalized on behalf of capital, just doing what comes naturally

It's clear who the perpetrator was and who the target was and why. This is a consistent feature of specifically local reporting, focused misrepresentation and exaggeration of anti-genocide activist behavior, absolute ignoration of the many attacks against them.

If you want an idea of how extensive the pay off for local media is, look at how panicked the right wing is of me, a guy with a 9k twitter following and middling newsletter who owes no allegiance to money or power. It's no compliment to me, yal left me out here alone and targeted

Such weird fundamentally racist commentary. I'd imagine almost anyone with a brain in their head remembers the failures of 'western' journalists to report the truth in every one of our wars for as long as they could get away with it, Amandpour being one.

A promised surge in aid into Gaza that Benjamin Netanyahu promised Joe Biden a week ago has so far failed to materialise.

Fetterman should do a costume change like other kayfaybers who became the heel mid through a career decline. A headband, dyed goatee and tights and flared boots should do the trick, get rid of the 'working class hero' get up

None of those who've bravely weathered slander and jail time will get their flowers. Rather, orgs that have profited off genocide & defended killers will receive the awards. Youngins notice, so don't wonder why fewer are invested in this sick system. That's the bill that's due.

You actually do need to be an expert on the first amendment to even have a good faith attempt at determining this, BUT ultimately a judge is the person that determines it. And that's what the NLG, the org that's actually doing work on the issue, say in 2nd paragraph. Incredible.

Today in Oakland, hundreds of janitors who clean the Bay Area's largest office buildings & tech co's took to the streets to demand an end to abusive workloads. They are fighting back at the bargaining table & in Sacramento.

But what they mean is Oslo in new bottles, the fake independence that didn't solve any of the problems and forms a direct line of sight to the current day. Then, like now, a two state solution is a safety hatch for when the brutality is in plain view of the world

Biden is about to drag America into war with Iran on behalf of Israel. The disastrous way he has handled matters since Israel bombed the Iranian consulate in Damascus shows that any shift in Biden's policy on Israel was all talk, no walk.
