Let’s stop calling it settler violence. It is settler TERROR. These criminals roam the West Bank with impunity, and the world stays silent.

[Hala Jaber @HalaJaber]

⚠️ Reuters has now confirmed what many suspected.

In early 2024, U.S. diplomats blocked internal cables describing northern Gaza as an “Apocalyptic Wasteland.” The reports included harrowing details: human bones scattered in the streets, bodies left abandoned in cars, & a total collapse of access to food, clean water, and medical aid.

These cables were not speculation. They were based on first-hand field observations from U.N. agencies & humanitarian workers on the ground.

So why were they blocked?

Because they were considered “too graphic.”
Because they “lacked balance.”
Because they might make Israel look bad.

Senior officials at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem, including Ambassador Jack Lew & Deputy Chief Stephanie Hallett, stopped the reports from reaching higher levels of the U.S. government. They feared the cables would contradict the administration’s public narrative & disrupt ongoing political cover for Israel’s actions in Gaza.

According to former officials, humanitarian experts were sidelined, ignored, & outright dismissed. Inside meetings, the question from officials was not how to respond to starvation, but reportedly, “Where are all the skinny kids?”

This was not merely policy misjudgment, but complicity on a grand scale.

The Biden administration had access to concrete evidence of mass death, starvation, & social collapse. Instead of sounding the alarm, it chose to suppress the truth to preserve its political position.

They did not just ignore the warnings. They buried them.

Let that sink in.

Fox News is launching “Fox Faith,” a new faith-focused initiative on Fox Nation. It begins with a 52-episode Life of Jesus Podcast, featuring Kristen Bell, Neal McDonough, Sean Astin, and others, with episodes aligned to the Christian calendar.

Executives say the move taps an “insatiable appetite” for faith-based content and inspiring stories in today’s fractured media landscape.

democrats losing on the biggest human rights issue of our time to this absolute maniac because they’re so deep in the pockets of israel is beyond embarrassing

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

It’s immensely dehumanizing that Israel can kidnap 1000s of Palestinians off the street, not even bother charging them with a crime & they never get “the hostages” treatment. These people have families and lives and hopes too but are spoken about by US media as faceless hordes

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

The story about Israel using fake animations of Hamas tunnels should be huge and covered by all mainstream media because it undercuts everything Israel said about why it needed to invade hospitals and schools and level Gaza to the ground. And this is why it won't be

[أنس الشريف Anas Al-Sharif @AnasAlSharif0]

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

NEW VIDEO: Odeh Hathaleen documented his life under occupation, he helped us make No Other Land, this is the last thing he ever filmed: his own murder.

The killer, Yinon Levi, claimed he is not the killer, and a judge released him from house arrest.

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

Speaking up only at the final stage of a holocaust isn't moral courage, it's moral cowardice. The silence in the face of kids being bombed, beheaded, split in half, maimed and orphaned for 21 months enabled kids finally to be starved

Israel is completely out of control. This attack on Iran is coming while Israel is not just continuing a nearly two-year-long genocide in Gaza, but still bombing Lebanon, and illegally occupying a large part of Syria. That's four different wars simultaneously.

I’m honored to receive the Pulitzer Prize today. Great thanks to the prize’s jury and board members for honoring me.
I dedicate this success to my family, friends, teachers, and students in Gaza.
Blessings to the 31 members of my family who were killed in one air strike in 2023.
Blessings to the souls of my four first cousins, two of whom were killed with their husbands and their children. Blessings to the soul of my great aunt, Fatima, whose “corpse” remains under the rubble of her house since October 2024. Blessings to the graves of my grandparents who I will never find.
Blessings to the souls of my students who got killed while looking for food or firewood. To the school where I studied and where I taught, to the library that I founded and to which I added one poetry book before 2023.
Blessings to many more, many more.
I’m praying for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and JUSTICE and PEACE!
