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.

The most senior Israeli commander 'dismissed for his role in the drone strike which killed seven aid workers' for World Central Kitchen in Gaza 'is a settler who signed an open letter in January calling for the territory to be deprived of aid.' telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

A truly impressive document. Hope Jewish faculty at other universities follow suit.

This is a super important observation from Crisis Group. Israeli govt efforts to supplant the role fo professional humanitarian agencies is not just flopping, it's doing active damage.

New Human Rights Watch research: kids in Gaza are dying of starvation-related complications as the Israeli gov't continues to block aid from reaching northern Gaza. hrw.org/news/2024/04/0…. A thread on why this is not merely unfortunate-it's a deliberate policy that can and should be reversed.

Rosen (D-NV) et al have intro'd new far-reaching legislation on antisemitism...at the center of which is of course the IHRA definition & the conflation of antisemitism w/ criticism of Israel &/or Zionism. A quick breakdown of IHRA-related elements in this bipartisan bill.

30 years ago, I reported on the Rwandan genocide as the world stood by. Afterwards, governments made another promise of 'never again'. Now they are failing Gaza. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Now: Big crowd of 'Christians for a Free Palestine' protest in the US Senate cafeteria—pushing Congress to back a ceasefire, restore aid to UNRWA, and end military aid to Israel.

'Congress & their staff will not eat today,' they chant. 'Until Gaza eats.'

Dozens being arrested.

Not clear to me how honoring a respected journalist who was killed for her journalism would be 'taking sides'--except taking the side of press freedom, which is surely the side we should all be on? themediamix.co/p/the-overseas…

“Who will be left to tell the world what happened to us, what we lived through, and what we saw?”

Since October, the Israeli army has killed 90 Palestinian journalists in Gaza. This short video honors their work and sacrifice.

Suddenly, all the 'security' delays vanish and more aid starts getting into Gaza. All because of a phone call. Biden could have made that call months ago. Imagine what Biden can achieve when he actually stops sending Israel weapons.

No. It gives me no pleasure to say it but Biden chose this path. So many have been sounding the alarm for months, both inside and outside the administration. Biden thought he knew better, and stubbornly refused to change course. This is on him.

If Israel controls airspace, maritime areas, access points and reserves the right to re-enter unilaterally then it is exercising authority over Palestinian territory, which is the definition of occupation. It may not like it but that’s the conclusion from their own policies

“É muito difícil tentar fazer um trabalho de diálogo num momento em que crianças estão diariamente morrendo de fome, e quando você vê ações apoiadas pelo governo americano. O governo dos Estados Unidos tem em seu poder, (Joe) Biden tem em seu poder a capacidade de colocar pressão…

“O meu trabalho inteiro de 20 anos foi para contar histórias de pessoas que estão trabalhando com a não violência, que é o oposto da estratégia do Hamas. Então, eu não tenho simpatia nenhuma pelo Hamas. Agora, desde dezembro o Hamas ofereceu liberar todos os reféns em troca do…

“Nós estamos, agora, vivenciando a realidade do colapso completo da moral e da ética de grande parte da sociedade israelense. (...) Eu uso essa palavra com muito cuidado, e não usei essa palavra por meses, mas é alta a probabilidade de que o que Israel está fazendo em Gaza pode…

'According to an NBC News analysis of more than 60 videos and photos, and interviews with university administrators, professors, students and experts, at least 5 of Gaza’s 7 major universities have been destroyed or partially damaged since Israel launched its offensive.'

'Just this week, two prisoners had their legs amputated due to handcuff injuries—which unfortunately is a routine event,' the physician said... He said inmates are fed through straws, defecate in diapers & are held constant restraints—which violate medical ethics & the law.'
