Israel responds to Iran's retaliatory strikes by cutting off all aid to Gaza.

This is a state which routinely collectively punishes civilians as a tactic of war.

This is monstrous, and it is also a grave war crime.

🚨Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least 7 Palestinians and wounded at least 12 others on Monday, according to Palestinian media and medical sources.

📌 Israeli attacks today include:

◽️In Jabalia refugee camp, a strike on civilians in Anwar Aziz Square killed three people, including 8-year-old Jad Youssef Suleiman, who local sources told @MosabAbuToha was returning from school, and 70-year-old Ismail Abu Dan. Several others were wounded.

◽️Earlier, two people were killed and others injured when an Israeli drone struck a group of civilians beside a tent near the al-Attar area in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis. The victims were identified as Iyad Mohammed Abdul Aziz Nofal, 43, and Ahmed Abdelhamid Hamad Marouf, 34.

◽️Separately, 31-year-old Awwad Abu Shahada succumbed to wounds after being struck by an Israeli drone on Salah al-Din Road in Deir al-Balah earlier Monday, while Mohammad Samir Abu Tir died today from injuries sustained in an Israeli strike on Khan Younis last Tuesday.

◽️An Israeli drone strike on a vehicle near Asdaa City, northwest of Khan Younis, wounded three people. Another drone strike east of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah injured several others, including one person reported to be in critical condition.

◽️Israeli artillery also shelled eastern Khan Younis and eastern Gaza City, while Israeli forces opened fire toward neighborhoods in eastern Gaza City and deployed illumination and smoke rounds near Salah al-Din Road east of Khan Younis.

🎥 The footage below shows an Israeli helicopter firing a missile at what local residents said was a residential apartment near Barcelona Park in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City. An eyewitness told Mohamed Ahmed—who filmed the incident for Drop Site—that a child was wounded in the strike.

[CODEPINK @codepink]

Outside Delaney Hall Detention Center, protesters gathered in solidarity with immigrants inside who are on hunger strike, risking their health to demand dignity, freedom, and an end to their detention.

Instead of pouring billions into detention centers, deportations, and raids, we should be investing in the things that actually make communities stronger: housing, healthcare, schools, legal services, and good jobs.

Abolish ICE. Fund communities. Free them all.

HI Lewis, I'm a Jewish journalist who made a video comparing Israel to Nazis. Happy to come on.

The US has quietly deployed 82nd Airborne paratroopers to Israel, per deployment order leaked to me.

The deployment is tied to new US-Israel joint contingency plans for seizing Kharg Island and carving out coastal territory inside Iran.

אלימות והפרת זכויות אדם שיטתית היא חלק מהותי במנגנון ההפעלה של משטר האפרטהייד והכיבוש הישראלי. בכל האזורים תחת שליטתה וכן ברחבי המזרח התיכון, בלבנון ואיראן, ישראל פועלת באלימות חסרתרסן.

מאז אוקטובר 2023, המדיניות הישראלית מתורגמת לממדים חסרי תקדים של אלימות והרס:
בעזה ישראל הרגה עשרות אלפי בני אדם, עקרה מיליונים בכפייה והחריבה באופן שיטתי תשתיות ומבנים.
בגדה המערבית ישראל הרגה כ-1,082 פלסטינים, בהם 239 ילדים ובני נוער.

בבתי הכלא הישראלים מוחזקים אלפי אסירים פלסטינים כשהם נתונים למסכת שיטתית של עינויים, אלימות, השפלות ותנאים תת-אנושיים.

ישראל עקרה בכפייה 61 קהילות פלסטיניות בגדה המערבית, שכללו לפחות 4161 בני אדם. 15 קהילות נוספות גורשו חלקית, ובהן נעקרו לפחות 454 בני אדם.

תחת משטר האפרטהייד הישראלי, חייהם של הפלסטינים מופקרים לחלוטין, ונשקפת סכנה לחייהם של מליוני בני אדם במזרח התיכון.

In a Chicago suburb the Trump administration tried to recast constitutionally protected dissent (protests against ICE raids) as criminal conduct. "The case collapsed amid stunning allegations of prosecutorial misconduct, including grand jury manipulation." https://t.co/5Qa4jWrVAO

For the first time in two decades of polling, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians (41%) than Israelis (36%), a reversal from 55% to 26% in Israel’s favor before to the October 7th attacks. Even 57% of Republicans aged 18 to 49 now disfavor Israel.https://t.co/A1nure5zJO

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Susan Collins still uses 9/11 to justify her disastrous vote on the Iraq War.

The problem is: it was Al-Qaeda who attacked us, Senator. They were in Afghanistan, not Iraq. But that didn't stop you from still sending me to both.

⭕️ Journalist Ken Klippenstein reports that the Pentagon quietly deployed elements of the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to Israel earlier this year, according to an Army deployment order he obtained.

Klippenstein, citing a military source, says the move was linked to newly developed joint U.S.-Israeli contingency plans for potential operations inside Iran, including the possible seizure of Kharg Island. While the Pentagon publicly said the unit was deploying to the broader CENTCOM region, it has not disclosed that some paratroopers have been sent to Israel.
