When your employer is complicit in genocide, are you complicit if you stay? History hasn't been kind to journalists in Nazi Germany or 1994 Rwanda. How will it treat today's Western media workers?

The Israeli Foreign Minister just announced he is no longer talking to the EU Foreign Minister -- the way you do in the 7th grade when you're mad at your friend -- all because she said the same thing that Netanyahu's former Mossad chief said the month before the Oct 7 attack: that Israel's occupation of the West Bank is apartheid.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.

Now the rapists are free.

This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

Holy smokes!! 🔥🔥🔥

JD Vance to Israel opposing the MOU

"My response to them would be: What is your exact proposal? You’re a country of 9 million people. You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have."

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Would you still call it a “ceasefire” if over 1000 Israelis had been killed @Reuters?

[#LandIsNotProperty Mwalimu Wandia @wmnjoya]

It's not even the money. It's the humiliation of the county governments. These people are doing the decent thing of running a business, and the government punishes them. Meanwhile, on the news, they see thugs being celebrated.

An Israeli drone strike on a busy street in Gaza City killed three people and injured more on Thursday. The strike hit a vehicle in broad daylight at the Abu Khadra intersection, one of the busiest places in the city.

[Rania Khalek @RaniaKhalek]

Cool, but maybe take away their ability to bomb the population centers to torpedo negotiations and you won’t have a problem anymore

Death in the afternoon

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has devastated the enclave's health sector, which was struggling long before the war, pushing it to the brink.

Read this.

Israel is using new technology to continue terrorizing Palestinians in Gaza

[Chris Doyle @Doylech]

Human rights groups have in fact been very careful not to make the comparison to South Africa. Israel is guilty of the crime of apartheid but it is different significantly to what was imposed in South Africa.

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

At least 1,005 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since the so-called US-backed ceasefire came into effect.

Here’s What You Need to Know.

Ms Rachel is calling for the release of Dr. Abu Safiya, a doctor from Gaza imprisoned by Israel without charge for 530 days.

[Ali Abunimah @AliAbunimah]

This monster has supported and enabled Israel’s crimes for decades, including pushing the rape hoax to justify the genocide in Gaza. But even this empty husk of a human can tell which way the wind is blowing.

[Dyab Abou Jahjah @Aboujahjah]

Yet another Israeli war criminal flees after we filed a case against him, afraid to face prosecution. This time, in India.
They can run, but they cannot hide.
Justice will come.

Remember those horrific pictures of Jews liberated from Auschwitz?

This isn't one.

This is a Palestinian man released after 26 months of Israeli "administrative detention." No charge. No trial. No legal rights.

"Never again" sounds noble. It just turns out it was never meant to apply to everyone.

The Israeli government currently holds roughly 3,500 Palestinians under this system, and has issued more than 100,000 such detention orders since 1967.

October 7th wasn't the start of this. It was a reaction to it.

Why don't we hear anything about this?

[B.M. @ireallyhateyou]

The only structure that remains from the uprooted Palestinian village of Tulayl in the Upper Galilee. The rest of the village was razed to the ground in 1948.

The residents of Tulayl used to earn their livelihood primarily from agriculture. Some of them engaged in fishing or raising water buffaloes in the nearby Lake Hula, drained by Israel in a horrific ecocidal crime in the 1950s.

[+972 Magazine @972mag]

As Israeli forces push to seize even more of Gaza’s territory, many Palestinians are left questioning whether the diplomatic process has any meaning at all.
