From 2023 to 2026, Google Earth's updated satellite imagery shows what's left of Gaza.

The images reflect what Human Rights Watch has already found: Israel has caused deliberate, widespread destruction throughout Gaza ⤵️

“Other than there’s less bombardment than before, nothing really changed.”

Tech entrepreneur Iyad Hmidat, who is still in Gaza, says that nothing changed after the ceasefire was announced in October and that the world has forgotten Gaza since.

Yes, one of the biggest, to be sure.

Ambulances reached the scene after an Israeli strike hit a gathering of civilians near the Ansar junction west of Gaza City on Friday, local medical sources said. One man was killed and another injured. But don’t worry, this is the “ceasefire,” where Palestinians keep dying and the world keeps calling it peace.

“There is a dangerous illusion in local and international discourse that replacing the current Israeli government will solve the problem”

The B’Tselem human rights group said on Monday Israel is carrying out a systematic and accelerated project aimed at “eliminating” Palestinian presence in the occupied West Bank and imposing “Jewish supremacy” across the territory.

“The genocide in Gaza should have fundamentally changed the international policy towards Israeli regime. It didn’t,”  said Yuli Novk, B’Tselem’s executive director. “The same impunity is now enabling the destruction of Palestinian collective life in the West Bank”.

The report said that as of July, Israel had illegally taken control of more than 264,402 acres (107,000 hectares) — nearly a fifth of the occupied West Bank — through illegal “armed settler militias”.

In the occupied West Bank, we see “almost daily atrocities carried out against innocent people,” says former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

“Burning and shooting people in their homes, in their fields, everywhere they can find them. This is something that can’t be ignored and can’t be forgiven.

“And therefore, I’m not surprised at the statement made by Secretary Miliband and the actions that were taken” by the United Kingdom.

We’re being taunted and intimidated over here in this country by Communist fascists, who are trying to bridge their menacing ways to the US.

[The Darting Sparrow @DartingSparrow]

Israel should really stop trying to control our people and our processes.

And threats. No more threatening of American citizens—remember what happened with Gigi? (I believe that was meant to be a threat.)

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

In January 2024 I forced a vote to investigate human rights abuses by Israel in Gaza. Only 11 Senators supported it.

Today, 47 Senators voted on a similar resolution to investigate Israel’s actions in the West Bank.

Listen to the American people:
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

AIPAC plans to spend $233 million to defeat candidates who dare to speak out against Netanyahu's extremist government.

They spent $33 million to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan primary. They lost.

They are going to keep losing.

NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID FOR ISRAEL.

Israeli forces raided the central vegetable market in eastern Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, assaulting and harassing Palestinian vendors during the incursion. Footage showed soldiers physically assaulting a young Palestinian man and forcing dozens of traders to march through the market under armed escort. According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, the raid took place as Israeli forces secured the area for illegal Israeli settlers visiting nearby Joseph’s Tomb, while troops also occupied the rooftops of several residential buildings to deploy snipers

In my mind, I’ve always thought that Barack *liked* BN. I wonder why. 🙇🏻‍♀️

I hadn’t thought about it one way or the other until the past few years, though.

[The Darting Sparrow @DartingSparrow]

I’ve watched only part of this. What Barack supposedly said is very interesting…

And yes, with certain profiles and things, you might want to follow up.

For example, we all know that there are very outstanding people out there who don’t have a lot of friends (or possibly any at all).
