Look up the story of Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar. A Palestinian mother and pediatrician whose children were killed this weekend in an Israeli airstrike. Dozens of people in Gaza have been killed over the past 24 hours alone.

A Palestinian mom in Gaza was on duty at a hospital. She received bodies of 9 of her 10 kids, charred. Her last remaining child and her husband are in critical condition. The generational trauma this genocide is inflicting on Palestinians won’t end when this genocide ends.

The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

Nothing can justify the number of civilian casualties (tens of thousands of women and children) inflicted by Israel in Gaza in the last two years. We should end all U.S. military aid to Israel now.

This is the right approach to any statement coming out of the Israeli govt & IDF. You should assume it's untrue based on a track record of that being the case. If they've got nothing to hide, let independent foreign journalists in. Touring Gaza with the IDF doesn't count.

To be fair to her, it’s become absolutely impossible to defend this Israeli government without either being delusional about the realities presented to you or to be simply fine with thousands of Palestinian children targeted and killed.

Why won't Israel allow international journalists into Gaza?

I grew up in Nablus. I can still hear the sounds of Israeli soldiers using loud speakers announcing a “curfew until further notice”. You’re not allowed to leave your house, even in emergencies. Sometimes that lasted weeks. I can’t believe my friends with kids as young as mine

The genocide in Gaza continues.

Israeli hospitals should be protected. Palestinian hospitals should be protected. Iranian hospitals should be protected. This isn’t hard.

Disgusting brutality.

Israeli soldiers are ordered to fire at unarmed Palestinians "even when no threat was present".

Whenever someone says “there’s no Palestine” or “the West Bank is part of Israel”, my answer is always the same: Great. That’s one step to ending apartheid. I’m sure you don’t mean killing my family or ethnically cleansing them so could you let me know where they can go pick up

He’s 10 years old comforting his younger brother and sister. What are his dreams? What do we expect him to grow up thinking or doing? Is he even going to grow up? Is he going to survive this? Are his siblings going to live? He’s alive, at least. Over 15,000 Palestinian kids

“She’s my mother. I can recognize her from her hair”. “Those are my children” (a man holding two small grocery style bags). “My children died hungry” “Please wake up mama. I don't want to be alone. wake up please" - Quotes are seared in my memory from the genocide in Gaza
