@mgtsorohan @ryangrim There’s clearly no casing. Bullets ‘stop’ in human bodies often, as I’m sure you know. But if you’re denying what I saw with my own eyes, and photographed, and filmed, this is clearly futile.

Paul Conroy was a great journalist, human being and friend to so many. He did heroic things with incredible humility, and for all the right reasons. In an era when the frauds and propagandists are thriving, his passing is even more devastating. https://t.co/7pmpjDyx4j

@wendzedin @ChrisLynnHedges @lindseyhilsum @paraicobrien @SecKermani @krishgm @mattfrei The @Channel4News team is one of the best there is, and has been for as long as I can remember

"Palestinian journalists right now are crying."

Al Jazeera’s @Hind_Gaza became emotional as she described the Israeli attack on the Nasser Hospital in Gaza's Khan Younis that killed four Palestinian journalists.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

At least 20 people were killed, including five journalists, by an Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.

Two shells hit the hospital in quick succession - the second exploding as journalists and rescue workers arrived at the scene.

The UN said the killing of journalists should shock the world into demanding accountability and justice. The Israeli military said it regretted 'any harm to uninvolved individuals'.

Warning: this report contains distressing scenes.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Over the last year, Palestinian farmer Saeed al-Amour has attempted to defend his land in the occupied West Bank, as settler attacks have become more frequent and violent.

His olive groves near the Palestinian town of Al-Rakeez have become a target for Israelis from the illegal settlement of Avigayil, a kilometre away.

Warning: this report contains distressing scenes of violence.

@Rudabathefaerie @Itz_Tiq I’ll take pleasure in telling him!

[Ben Anderson @benjohnanderson]

@Rudabathefaerie @Itz_Tiq Thanks for the kind words and support. And last time I spoke to him, Bill was doing great, and even doing Ironmans. Here’s the link: https://t.co/7rxFmpEuuD

@ferrarimanf355 @deray Sure. Anas was killed with 4 of his colleagues, meaning Israel has now killed at least 186 journalists since the war began, more than the number killed in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, combined. That enough for you or would you like some more?

Killed by Israel in a precision strike on a tent for journalists outside the gates of a hospital- al-Shifa

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital https://t.co/MMKatjgeAa

Very good factual analysis of what’s being done in Gaza by @adam_tooze It’s not complicated, and outlets who keep giving airtime to pundits who deny it are failing miserably. https://t.co/C5HlukYCvu

[Ben Anderson @benjohnanderson]

@PacoCuatroBurro @NYMag Some are close friends, and brilliant, brave and honest soldiers. After we failed to deliver on all our promises in Afghanistan, they deserve sanctuary, and I think they’ll be a huge asset to the UK too.

[Ben Anderson @benjohnanderson]

Kudos to @NYMag for publishing this long and deeply reported piece by Suzy Hansen. Whether you know this issue well, or believe the myth that it’s too complicated to understand, it’s well worth your time, especially when we’re seeing so much cowardice from news orgs elsewhere

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

The accusation that Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza — likely hundreds, maybe even thousands — has become all but undeniable. Even Israel’s supporters, those who defended or withstood this publicly broadcast nightmare for 19 months, have reached some semblance of a limit.

For our latest cover story, @suzyhans examines how the war in Gaza has upended decades of humanitarian law: https://t.co/kloetoKRb9

Breaking News: Israeli military officials say they have no proof Hamas routinely steals UN aid, undercutting a claim Israel has used to limit food for Gaza. https://t.co/5ujWZYvfBD

Always read anything @rtraister writes, but definitely read this blistering piece on Andrew Cuomo before Tuesday’s election https://t.co/ab7sMhM4Dv

@longtyler666 @snboxing Appreciate the kind words Tyler- had to take a break for health reasons and now it’s very hard to get good foreign affairs projects commissioned anywhere. Very happy to hear you liked the work I did though, thank you 🙏🏻👊🏻

@snboxing Use a VPN and the NOW tv app. Triller too I think
