We've kept this under our hat the last few months but I'm happy to share.dpir first work on this important topic. @jbsapien and @js_kaplan from @propublica have been dogged in their support chasing down this story with us. More still to come!

🇮🇱✡️ One of Israel’s last moral authorities, Avraham Burg, former Knesset speaker and ex Chair of the World Zionist Organization, is calling on one million Jews worldwide to petition the ICJ to charge Israel for crimes against humanity

“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.”

The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid.

Chaos at Fred Meyer where they no longer employed cashiers all the way to closing time... @FredMeyerStores what's the deal?

More than 100 Portlanders down here at City Hall on a Tuesday afternoon to tell our new city council that they don't want ICE in Portland any longer. #abolishice #pdxprotest

[Brian Conley @BaghdadBrian]

I'm down at #pdx City Hall for a gathering of Portlanders who want to see ICE's permit revoked, ahead of the city council meeting occurring at 230 discussing what it means to be a sanctuary city, and the future of ICE in Portland. #pdxprotest

@Sativa888 Iran apparently still has universal free school meals.

[Brian Conley @BaghdadBrian]

@Sativa888 Where have you provided *any* evidence that this is true? Frankly it's obviously not true and extremely offensive to state that the "entire Palestine cause is a KGB invention"

[Brian Conley @BaghdadBrian]

Day 3 #IJF25 very interesting panel right now about Houses of Journalism.

Standing ovation for Yuval Abraham at #IJF25 after screening No Other Land.

[Brian Conley @BaghdadBrian]

Ridiculous, abhorrent overreach.

What ideas are illegal, @ICEgov ?

[Brian Conley @BaghdadBrian]

@attackerman My guess is they are referring to banning people from the US for "anti-Semitism" still ridiculous gross and abhorrent

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
