all of this for the sake of israel, dropping bombs this very moment. all this because israel is not to be questioned in its murdering and maiming palestinians. sick

Today in The Nation we have a piece by Lujayn, a 14-year-old girl in Gaza, that has floored me every time I've read it. It's about what happened when an Israeli bulldozer came to destroy the house she was staying in, and you must, must, must read it. thenation.com/article/world/…

I cannot stress enough how necessary it is for all of us to wake up every morning & believe and insist that we can and must live in a world where children aren't drone-striked at a playground. Israel is counting on your fatigue and hopelessness.

i love books. i love book reviews.

Meet my Uncle Greg.

For the last 34 years, he was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit.

Yesterday, he was exonerated. 🙏🏾

A guy wrote 'war is war' on my tweet about children in Gaza so I spent 368 hours sourcing historical death tolls from the deadliest conflict zones so we're all clear that Israel is massacring kids at a rate that surpasses the genocidal campaigns of the world's most evil dictators

They are literally wiping out centuries of ancient knowledge that our people have preserved in manuscripts and texts going back to the pre-modern historical era. This shows that their goal is to erase our cultural heritage, history, records, storytelling traditions and identity.

The people soiling themselves with rage when Sally Rooney said she didn't want to work with Israeli publishers don't seem to be very vocal about this one

You spend months driving people south. You announce it is the only safe zone. You kettle the people there. And then you attack them by air and land. That is textbook genocide and anyone who denies it is a genocide supporter.

🚨Israel's navy targets a UN aid truck heading to the starved Northern Gaza where 'pockets of famine' are spreading.

This is the predesignated 'safe route' the IDF ordered these food trucks to drive through.

impossible to say or think anything beyond 'how can we stop this?'

A “ceasefire” is what you demand in an armed conflict. In a genocide you demand an immediate end to all genocidal acts and that is exactly what the ICJ ordered with immediate effect. Please stop helping “Israel” spin its historic defeat as a win.

'We are not at war in the Middle East,' Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder insisted on Tuesday.

In reality, the Pentagon is bombing 3 countries and operating from 14 more in the region. Full story: kenklippenstein.com/p/pentagon-ins…

'So, take notes butcher Biden. The ancestors of the Ireland that you claim to be from disown you. Keep our country out of your mouth.'

A strong speech by MEP Clare Daly.

israeli bombs have released more co2 emissions over the last 100 days than 20 countries do annually.

'The first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate so far vain hope that the world might do something.'

Blinne Ni Ghralaigh. She got me, I'm tearing up.

This appalling The New York Times headline, which in an instant erases the 23,000 Palestinian dead in Gaza & the flattening of a metropolis as populous as South London, may win the Gold Medal 🏅 for most biased, insensitive and bigoted headline of the war, in a very, very crowded field.

Bernie Sanders is invoking section 502b of the Foreign Assistance Act (an option that Emily Jashinsky can testify I floated about a month ago).

It will force a Senate vote on Israeli human rights abuses. If it gets a bare majority, the State Dept is required to investigate and
