This is unconscionable & should never be the cost of providing humanitarian aid.
The Israeli government must stop killing aid workers, starving innocent civilians, and slaughtering the Palestinian people.
We need a #CeasefireNOW.
@elvira_legrand I’ve heard 24-48 hours max. If you’re going to wait to send, you need to let them know of the situation. It won’t look good if you don’t say anything. Keep in mind that they may not wait, because standards are that anything a writer queries is as polished as they can make it
These video confessionals have been rejected by essentially every organization that has looked into this because of the high likelihood of torture used to extract the confessions as well as the inability to match these stories with any actual victims on the ground. If you’re sharing this, you’re complicit in torture.
BREAKING: A senior US State Department official has confirmed that the Israeli regime and military are systematically raping Palestinian women. This has shocked the genocidal Israeli regime who demanded they not say this publicly and are now trying to get her fired
The fact that a Jewish director of a highly acclaimed film about the Holocaust, made in collaboration with the Auschwitz Museum, is being accused of *antisemitism* by right wingers simply because he decried the violence done to Palestinian civilians in his name says so much
See the difference? The way Western media frames Israeli crimes is by design.
Looking at BBC’s headline you would think it’s a normal construction project. In reality, Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law but continue to expand with impunity.
This isn’t Gaza.
This is Lebanon.
Israel has been intensely bombing residential areas in South Lebanon today, killing several civilians including children.
And complete silence from the “international community”, of course.
This video is heartbreaking for me.
And what makes it crazier is the reason WHY the US is airdropping aid.
Have you asked yourself why don't they just send aid through trucks as usual?
Israel, which is heavily funded by the US, is limiting aid and blocking access to a lot of it.
How does this make sense?
Those celebrating the rescue of two Israeli hostages, without even mentioning the dozens of Palestinians slaughtered in Rafah:
Seriously, how would you defend yourself from the charge of racism?
How would you justify a claim that you thought Palestinian life had equal worth.
the Israeli regime just killed over a hundred babies and children to release two prisoners and the entire Western media and political class is celebrating it. They don't even realize that this is the perfect justification for Hamas' October 7 operation, which they call pure evil
we are so privileged and we have to use our privilege to amplify what’s happening in rafah and around the world. this bloodshed is unfathomable yet unsurprising, and so familiar. free palestine
