The New York Times won a Pulitzer Prize for news photography documenting Israel's starvation and destruction in Gaza -- key parts of Israel's genocide. https://t.co/Q9m3WRQkfa

That’s what you call double standards.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is being held unlawfully. His arbitrary detention must immediately be brought to an end. Each additional day compounds the responsibility of those detaining him.

May all Palestinian hostages be released soon.
May the perpetrators face justice soon.

I am from this village that Zionists has now wiped out for the second time. The first was in 1976. Today, they are doing this to every village in the southern sector of South Lebanon. This is a form of genocide. Their ultimate aim is to steal our land like they stole Palestine.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue.

She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.

She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.

By putting the EU-Israel trade deal before human life, the EU puts profit before people. Italy and Germany continue to block the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

But change is vital. One million people in Europe, 75 NGOs, 400 diplomats and officials, Belgium, Ireland, Slovenia and Spain are calling for the suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement.

Demand @giorgiameloni and @bundeskanzler show integrity and stop greenlighting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and apartheid over all Palestinians.

Humanity must win.

[Nathalie Tocci @NathalieTocci]

The EU had yet another opportunity to redeem itself of its moral bankruptcy on Israel. And once again it has failed to do so, with Germany and Italy predictably blocking the suspension of the EU-Israel agreement. Shame 🇮🇹 🇩🇪

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Why would Israel target medical workers in Gaza and now southern Lebanon? It is part of a strategy to make life unlivable so as to drive out the civilian population. In Gaza, it became part of Israel's genocide. https://t.co/osNMexYMGn

[Brigitte Herremans @BriHerremans]

Spain is showing the way, pointing out the obvious. The carrots did not work: Israel’s anticipated socialisation did not play out as the EU hoped. Rather than Israel integrating European norms and values, the EU moved towards Israel.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

"Between October 2023 and December 2025, more than 38,000 women and girls were killed in #Gaza, the result of Israeli air bombardment and land military operations.

The major reason why the world is now a terrifying, lawless place without rules or norms EXCEPT the rule that "might is right", is that the Gaza GENOCIDE has taken place for over 2 years: day after day, in plain sight of the world, murder, starvation, destruction WITH IMPUNITY

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Pam Bondi refused to show up for today’s Oversight deposition — defying our lawful subpoena.

We couldn’t care less that she was fired from her job as Attorney General. She is responsible for leading the White House cover-up of the Epstein files.

Since she didn’t show up, Oversight Democrats will move to hold her in contempt of Congress.

The survivors deserve justice — and we will get answers. Enough is enough.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

I appeal to European leaders: it is never too late to do the right thing. Stopping trade with and arms transfers to Israel, in light of the illegal occupation and associated crimes, is your obligation. What else must Israel do for you to suspend this agreement?

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

Gravely concerned by reports #Israel cabinet in April approved 34 new settlements in occupied West Bank – the highest number ever approved at one time. This continues the sharp upward trend of unlawful settlement building that extends & consolidates Israel's annexation of occupied Palestinian territory.

Israel must immediately cease the establishment & expansion of settlements, & reverse its settlement policies by evacuating all settlers & ending the occupation of Palestinian territory.

All 168 Iranian schoolgirls would be alive, the Strait of Hormuz would be open, and gas would be $2.85 a gallon if Trump had gone to prison for his crimes.

Mothers in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran love their children as much as you love yours.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

These astronauts are just a balm: impossibly cheery, down to earth, committed, decent. They are clearly extraordinary people, and yet reassuringly normal. At a time when the news is dominated by people who are either cruel or corrupt or insane or incompetent or all of the above, they remind us not all is lost.
