(1) I am involved in providing pro bono legal support to several Gaza families to obtain medical treatment for the children in the US. WE need 20k in the next five days!
First way to donate is through GoFundMe. No tax letter can be issued though.

I get asked from ppl back home “is there still war in #Sudan?”, and it aches.There’s no understanding of the magnitude of this war- both for Sudan and the region. Both for the present of this country and its future. For the most most vulnerable to the middle class and even elite/

I also want to say that I hold Jewish life to be as sacred as Palestinian life. This is a truth for which I live and for which I'll die if necessary. This isn't a slogan, it's an article of faith that I believe as deeply and passionately as I believe that there is no god but God.

Good afternoon (or morning, or evening). I went dark yesterday, really dark. But I managed to sleep and I have some clarity about the Al Ahli hospital massacre that I want to share with you. I'll only tweet this rambling thread today and then log off. Please read and share.

New: @hrw has verified videos from the Oct 7 Hamas-led attack, showing several instances of deliberate killings—heinous acts that have no justification & amount to war crimes https://t.co/TGSSCsTp0m

Even if there's a ceasefire tomorrow and a wider war is averted, we'll spend many years, perhaps even a generation, coping with the collective damage that has been inflicted in these 10 days. This was unlike anything I have experienced in my adult life.

Israeli authorities are signaling their intent to commit mass atrocities. They must be stopped. A thread 1/10

[Omar Shakir @OmarSShakir]

The only way out is through respect for int'l law, protection of human rights & accountability for grave crimes. It is critical for world leaders to call for defense of the rules-based int'l order & prevent mass atrocities before it’s too late. 10/10

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.

It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!

So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

As the situation escalates in Israel-Palestine, misinformation is rife. It can be difficult to decipher what is really happening and what is not. Our team has analysed examples of misrepresented footage and imagery from the latest conflict https://t.co/jtVtuhdws2

[Bellingcat @bellingcat]

As this baseless claim used authentic footage, it was entwined with potentially useful information. Videos of the area suggest that the strikes occurred in densely populated areas in the vicinity of several schools.

[Sharif Abdel Kouddous شريف عبد القدوس @sharifkouddous]

The Israelis have killed 1,799 Palestinians in Gaza, including 583 children. 7,388 have been wounded, 1,901 of them children, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

[Omar Shakir @OmarSShakir]

Breaking: @hrw has confirmed—based on verified video & witness accounts—that Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza & Lebanon. White phosphorus causes excruciating burns—causing lifelong suffering—& can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful https://t.co/AzN4bAHkau

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

CPJ is investigating all reports of journalists killed, injured, detained or missing in the #IsraelGazaConflict. In the first six days of fighting, at least 10 journalists were killed, two were missing and two injured.
