What does a mum trapped and dying under rubble think? In Gaza or Venezuela or elsewhere, a mum wants to be sure her children will feel her love after she's gone.

The difference is that in Gaza she only dies cause of Israeli barbarity while the world looks away.

@JonahPlatt, why do you keep lying when your lies are so easy to rebuff? Everything you write is either a direct manipulation or an outright lie. Twitter is not the platform for this discussion (which you know well). Let's see you bring me on your show, you gutless wonder.

@aseisfree The Iranian captain is 💯 correct - this entire World Cup was/is a scam…. Putting politics above the beauty of the sport

[Ahmed Eldin @aseisfree]

“This is a disastrous World Cup. As professional players, we cannot play a competition under these conditions; it’s neither right nor fair. If FIFA thinks this is fair, that’s on them, but it isn’t. Who should solve this problem for us? FIFA? The U.S.? I don’t know! Tell me a name. The FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, came to our locker room after the first match against New Zealand and said he was going to resolve all the issues, but in reality, FIFA did nothing. In response to the question: ‘Do you feel that the World Cup organizers, including FIFA and U.S. officials, prefer for Iran to be eliminated from the competition?’, I say: We have to fight against absolutely everything. We can’t stay in the country, we travel and undergo immigration checks every time we want to play, now we can’t stay in Seattle and have to return to Tijuana. They’ve done everything possible to eliminate us, so from our perspective, yes, I think that’s what they want, they want us out.”

Hi @NYTimesPR, thanks for responding. Appreciate it. I'm a subscriber and I think some of your reporters do some great reporting.
Just to respond to your response to my post:
1) There were no facts "misstated" by me. You cited three examples in response. Only one of them was about specific *named* GOP House members (and it wasn't from "yesterday", it was from a year ago.) So I stand by my post.
2) As others have pointed out already, none of the 3 articles you cited have the names of any GOP individuals in the titles ("Right-Wing Republicans" "a Kansas Republican" "G.O.P. Fingerprints"), in comparison to your original "Who is Darializa" takedown piece. Where is your "Who is Brandon Gill" or "Who is Keith Self" or "Who Is Randy Fine" or "Who Is Mary Miller" critical profile pieces? How about "Who is Tom Emmer," given the GOP House Majority Whip just a few days ago spewed racist crap about Somalis? And where are the Peter Baker tweets summarizing *their* most controversial claims?
3) This isn't a new criticism. Many have made it against your paper for many years; that you go harder on the left than the right, that you even occasionally whitewash the far right. Remember when you had to do a public response in 2017 to a NYT profile that went super soft on a... Nazi? https://t.co/IF6DhTwcrp. Remember when you guys did a softball piece about a far-right, Islamophobic Trump aide's love for cooking? https://t.co/dp0Sf9PQg9.
Oh, and dare I ask: where are the fawning 'Trump voters' in diners' equivalent pieces for DSA members in NYC bodegas? Isn't it time?
4) Finally, that your response to my post was to proudly say you guys at the Times have "been documenting the increasingly extreme viewpoints on both sides of the political spectrum" kinda makes my point for me. One side's extreme wants universal healthcare and an end to genocide. The other side's extreme says Somalis are "garbage" and wants "remigration", mass deportations and white supremacy.
But, hey, "Both sides!"

[William Peynsaert @PeynsaertBill]

When mother nature pulverizes whole neighbourhoods it's sensational front page news, when Israel does it, it's... terrorism to even talk about it.

Expect clickbait stories about babies pulled from under the rubble.

Cause journalists care deeply. About their jobs.

[Ori Goldberg @ori_goldberg]

If you think Israel has been fighting a "defensive" war, Eli, you really should consider having your head removed from your posterior. There is no other redemption for your lies or for your gloating at such mass death.

If there ever was any smoking gun evidence that the Israeli-Lebanese agreement is nothing but a cover for Israel to sabotage the US-Iran MOU and subjugate Lebanon under Israeli dominion, it is von der Leyen's endorsement of the agreement.

[Kerry Burgess @KerryBurgess]

Tragically, there are very few innocents in Israel. It is difficult to justify or see how such a damaged country can continue to exist without endangering humanity.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Joy Reid: “The most violent country in the Middle East is not Iran, it’s Israel. They’re blowing up pagers as children are nearby. They’re putting bombs in toys to blow up children. They are slaughtering children in Gaza. They’re wiping out entire ancient villages in Southern Lebanon. Which of these things is in our interest?”

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Iran scored a winning goal in each of their 3 matches, each one was overturned by VAR. The way they’ve been treated and what they’ve had to overcome is absurd, no other team was barred to stay in the host country, no other team’s country is being bombed by the host country.

In the world of injustice, this may seem small, but in the world of international sport it’s deeply unjust.

They might think their performance was disappointing, but it was far from it. They played with heart and captured the hearts of people across the world.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Read @UssamaMakdisi on the Lebanon surrender agreement:

“Israel sees two models for Lebanon: one is the West Bank model, featuring a neutered PA-style “government” that is totally subordinate to Israeli will, but financed by others to carry out “security” on behalf of Israel, as is the case in the contemporary West Bank where Israeli settlers and soldiers routinely terrorize Palestinians and while Israel methodically annexes ever more Palestinian land. The other model is “Gaza,” by which Israel means its campaign to obliterate and ethnically cleanse the south of Lebanon after having carried out genocide in Gaza. The irony is that no matter how many Lebanese think that their future is different from that of the Palestinians, history, geography, fate, and geopolitics always trump antihistorical fantasies of separatism.”

⭕️ Human Rights Watch’s Lebanon researcher points out that the new Israel-Lebanon framework requires Lebanon to forgo pursuing all legal claims and diplomatic actions against Israel in international political and legal forums.

That waiver would foreclose accountability for a war in which Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have documented extensive apparent war crimes by Israeli forces, including:

🔹 The demolition of more than 10,000 civilian structures in the south between October 2024 and January 2025, much of it carried out with explosives and bulldozers after the ceasefire and outside active combat, which Amnesty says must be investigated as a war crime

🔹 Attacks on medics and hospitals, including strikes that killed paramedics in Beirut and the south; Lebanon’s Islamic Health Association says Israeli forces killed 155 paramedics and destroyed 43 emergency centers during the war

🔹 The killing of journalists, including the October 2023 strike that killed Reuters photojournalist Issam Abdallah, which a UN expert found appeared to be a war crime

🔹 Indiscriminate attacks on civilians between September and November 2024, including unlawful strikes on residential buildings that killed children, per HRW and Amnesty

🔹 The widespread and unlawful use of white phosphorus in populated areas, documented by HRW

🔹 Repeated attacks harming UN peacekeepers (UNIFIL) in apparent violation of the laws of war

🔹 In the 2026 war that began March 2, more than 4,200 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, the majority of them civilians, with over one million displaced. Homes and infrastructure systematically destroyed.

🔹 That followed the earlier 2023-2024 war, after whose November 2024 ceasefire Israel killed more than 380 additional people, including at least 127 civilians, 57 of them in the first 60 days while trying to return home, per the UN

🔹Between October 2023 and the November 2024 ceasefire, Israeli strikes killed more than 3,961 people in Lebanon, including 248 children, 736 women, and 222 health and rescue workers, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

Woman posts Israeli murders of Palestinian children and is... branded a terrorist by the UK
Sarah Wilkinson is a 61-year-old British pro-Palestine activist and independent journalist who has spent years campaigning for Palestinian rights. She has written for MENA Uncensored, sought to join humanitarian missions such as the Freedom Flotilla, and has become one of the most prolific online chroniclers of life and death in Gaza.

By her own account and that of supporters, she dedicated much of her life to documenting a conflict that much of the Western media either ignored or covered only intermittently.

Then, in August 2024, British counter-terrorism police raided her home, seized her electronic devices and arrested her over material she had posted online. Whether one agrees with every opinion Sarah Wilkinson has ever expressed is not the central issue.

The undeniable fact is that countless posts on her accounts documented Palestinian civilians, including children, killed in Israeli military operations. The children remain dead. The destroyed neighbourhoods remain destroyed.

Yet the woman sharing those images found herself investigated under terrorism legislation. It is a remarkable inversion of moral focus. When documenting civilian suffering attracts the attention of counter-terrorism police, while the suffering itself risks becoming background noise, a disturbing question presents itself:

what exactly is being protected, the public from dangerous ideas, or governments with blood on their hands from uncomfortable realities?

🇮🇳 Sonia Gandhi, chairperson of India’s opposition Congress Parliamentary Party and mother of opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, says the Modi government has betrayed both the country’s anti-colonial legacy and its commitment to international law by supporting Israel and remaining silent during Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

In a sharply worded opinion piece, she argues that:

🔸 India has abandoned its long-standing support for the Palestinian cause and become “a lone voice of silence” as countries around the world have condemned Israel’s actions.

🔸 Modi’s government has enabled Israel through its silence and moved India closer to Israel at the expense of its historic support for Palestine.

🔸 Modi’s visit to Israel “will go down in history as a bewildering strategic decision,” arguing India is “slipping further into Israel’s strategic orbit” while much of the world is increasingly distancing itself from Israel.

🔸 India’s continued silence “cannot be explained rationally or morally”

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Bill Maher, who may be approaching dementia, says that Hamas should’ve put the 2.3 million civilians in Gaza inside tunnels to protect them from Israel’s attack. And bc they didn’t, the many thousands of children in the category “wounded child, no surviving family (WCNSF)” are actually the fault of Hamas
