University administrators in the US are arresting and silencing students who want this to stop.

UPDATE: At least 8 Palestinians have been killed, including 5 children, in an Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in the west of Rafah, southern Gaza

The NYT has always been institutionally pro-Israel, but having your top editor be the son of a CAMERA board member does lead to some grotesque editorial calls.

There’s this whole class of ostensibly progressive “writers” who, for the last 6 months, have dedicated the majority of their public real-estate to berating some imaginary leftists while a million children are literally being starved in Gaza. Just the most despicable creatures.

Earlier today in a refugee camp in Tulkarem, in the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed Palestinian fighter Ahmad Aref.
Footage later emerged (attached) showing Aref was lightly wounded in the leg. He was executed after soldiers entered the house (not attaching that vid).

he is a #UN spokesperson - but also a very compelling reporter - stay safe James Elder UNICEF

A thread of global reactions of disappointment at America’s failure to accept Palestine’s application into the UN - the only Security Council member to vote no.

Today in the apartheid state:

lol

Words are insufficient to describe the layers of horror unleashed on the people of Gaza. Yesterday I learned that a woman who survived a massacre in Dec in which her father and brothers were executed, was killed in a bombing along with her husband and kids during Ramadan in March

8 children killed in Israeli strike while playing foozeball, CNN reports, showing, w/permission, faces and bodies of the dead & the cries of grieving parents. Every 10 min a child is killed or injured in Gaza, per reporter Jeremy Diamond.

71 Palestinians killed and 106 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza over the last 24 hours (April 17).

NEW: This is really something.

Blinken has ignored recommendations from a human rights abuse State Department panel to sanction certain IDF units credibly accused of killings and rape.

The headline: these are crimes that occurred before October 7th.

Palestinian journalists are truly the greatest amongst us.

The refusal of American newsroom and journalists to listen to these journalists and amplify their work is a moral stain on this industry.

Is it against the Google Code of Conduct to aid and abet 40,000 Palestinian deaths?

This is some of the clearest reporting that the State Department, through Secretary Blinken himself, is refusing to comply with the law — confirming past reporting that there is in fact a double standard when it comes to Israel.

This is not typical behavior by our state department and it’s alarming. Rape and murder should always be condemned and we should always seek to hold perpetrators accountable.

The Epstein conspiracy cottage industry somehow missed his links to the Secretary of State

Fascinating
