I spent time with young climate leaders earlier this week to hear their visions for climate action to save our planet and build equity into our communities.
Here’s what they said ↓
In October 2023, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages if Israel promised not to invade Gaza. Netanyahu rejected it. Some of us noted this at the time; establishment media did not, being too busy spreading pro-genocide atrocity propaganda about Hamas raping women and beheading babies.
The only open question is whether Hamas asked for anything at all. Qatari PM Mohammed al-Thani says Hamas agreed to free the hostages without conditions. Mossad chief David Barnea insists Hamas "set unacceptable conditions, such as halting the IDF's incursion into Gaza and new rights for worshippers on the Temple Mount."
Correct: because the natives had dared to resist their occupiers, it was unacceptable to stop Israel from destroying Gaza, or from denying Palestinians access to one of Islam's holiest sites.
A senior Israeli military official now tells Haaretz that when the Hamas offer reached the military, it was ignored: "To be honest, the issue of the hostages was not seriously on the agenda at this stage, and no one at the military or political level was open to discussing the proposal."
Antony Blinken was told of the Hamas offer directly, and rejected it too. "Israel is still under attack, and there's no one to talk to," he told the Qatari PM. This is the same Blinken who would soon claim that if Hamas freed the hostages, "this could end tomorrow." That was ghoulish on its own terms, endorsing mass murder as the means to an "end." It also wasn't honest, which for Blinken was the default.
Former CIA chief William Burns now says: "The basic problem was that Hamas was looking for a 'permanent end to the conflict,' as they called it." Yes. And the Biden team pretended Hamas was the obstacle, to help Israel put a permanent end to Gaza as a society and to Palestinians as a people seeking self-determination.
Deeply disturbing story. Survivors of US boat strikes allege they were kidnapped and tortured for days by the US military. The prosecutor investigating the claims was just assassinated.
'They killed my two sons. They killed my wife. They killed my parents. They killed my brothers. I dont know what to do. Please give me one minute and listen to me'
- Mahmoud, an architect in Gaza.
Reporter: "Are you serious about arresting Netanyahu?"
Mamdani: "100%. Yes."
Reporter: "Trump said he won’t."
Mamdani: "He has a warrant for war crimes. Trump may protect him. I won't."
🚨 An entire family in central Gaza, on Al-Wahda Street, was executed one by one by Israeli forces — including an elderly woman who begged for her life but was killed in her wheelchair.
-Date of the crime: March 31, 2024.
Hussam Ebu Safieh, "İsrail'in rehineler için ölüm cezası" ile öldürülecek olan Filistinli doktorlardan biridir (diğer 95 doktor arasında).
Onu öldürmelerine izin verme.

This is extremely shameful.
🇦🇺Australian filmmaker Juliet said:
"I was raped by an Israeli soldier inside a darkened shipping container while handcuffed and shackled on a Gaza aid flotilla.
They also used water torture and beatings."
The matter is even more shameful when the whole world is silent and toothless on this 😭
🚨BREAKING: A Palestinian girl in Gaza wore her orange Eid dress, waiting to celebrate Eid al-Adha with her family. Minutes later, an Israeli missile struck their building, killing them all.
10 Palestinians were killed and dozens of neighbors injured in the massacre.
El clip más cruel, soldados israelíes matando a una familia entera, la madre abrazando a sus hijos y los niños abrazándose entre sí y el padre parado frente a ellos sosteniendo la bandera blanca.
Opresión y gran dolor, un pasaje de la historia que testimonia la mayor masacre.
Nayef Samarou had just brought his wife to a Nablus hospital to give birth to their first child. While stepping out to visit a nearby supermarket, he was shot and killed by Israeli terrorist forces.
I am so heartbroken.
Israel has just shot my 30-year-old aunt in the chest while she was sitting with her three young children in a school shelter in Jabalia Camp. She is in critical condition; the bullet pierced her chest and exited through her back, devastating her lungs and spleen.
At the moment she was hit, she was holding her one-year-old son. He fell from her lap as she collapsed and was found bleeding from one of his ears.
I just spoke with my uncle, who told me that Israel has been using subsonic bullets lately. He said his sister is the second mother in the camp to be shot in the chest today.
Please pray for her and our family. Her husband was abducted by Israel in November 2024, and we still have no word on his condition.
@jonkentcomrade The list just kept getting worse the further it went. The democratic party doesn't care if they lose because their only goal is keeping their corporate owners in power. They put up candidates like this because they know either way the corporations win.
