@cnnipr@trtworld She should’ve said “She was a 6 year old child in Palestine WHO WAS MURDERED BY THE IDF”. She “forgot” to mention that important piece.
The Palestinians, facing down the most powerful countries in the world, left virtually alone even by their allies, have suffered immeasurably. But they have won this war. They, their journalists, their doctors, their rescue teams their poets, academics, spokespeople, and even their children have conducted themselves with a courage and dignity that has inspired the rest of the world. The young generation in the western world, particularly the new generation of young Jewish people in the US, have seen through the brainwashing and propaganda and have recognised apartheid and genocide for what it is. The governments of the most powerful countries in the western world have lost their dignity, and any respect they might have had. Yet again. But the millions of protestors on the streets of Europe and the US are the hope for the future of the world.
Palestine will be free.
Statement by Arundhati Roy at the meeting of Working People Against Apartheid and Genocide in Gaza, at the Press Club, New Delhi, on March 7.
“Death is better than this.”
Shocking images of starving, emaciated children from inside Gaza are laying bare the desperation inside the strip, as @nadaabashir reports.
#SOTU The only ceasefire that is morally acceptable is a lasting ceasefire.
It is inhumane to pause the violence for 6 weeks and then continue sending bombs right after. #CeasefireNow
Presidential intent is powerful, and actions speak louder than words.
We need a lasting, indefinite #CeasefireNOW to save lives, return the hostages, and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
And @POTUS has a moral, humanitarian, and political mandate to make that happen.
Every day that Palestinians continue to suffer from famine, violence, and displacement is a tragedy.
And every day that the United States does not explicitly call for an immediate ceasefire is a moral failure.
@ChrisCuomo These images are coming out of GAZA, NOT ISRAEL. You are purposely misleading people. I’m actually quite shocked and disappointed by your lack of journalistic integrity.
No. Sorry. They are not “collateral damage” they are human beings who happen to have been born there and live there and most of those human beings are stuck there. Have some compassion, they are Palestinians not buildings or roads or things, they are human beings and so are the hostages whose lives you may also be destroying. They aren’t “collateral damage” either.

The ultimate hope in the midst of this unspeakable, paralyzing horror - so uncharacteristically out in the open , so unmasked , is that million of Jews, Christian, Muslims, Buddhists , atheists stand together and refuse the bait ; which is to seek a biblical justification for it’s crimes against humanity. The world revolts. Millions refuse to accept the immoral choice offered to them by political leaders who would make the price of safety of one people , the extinction of another.
