Why can’t I watch a reality show where instead of toxic dating it’s just cat rescue weirdos scrabbling around to trap and rehabilitate a smelly scrungy mess of a cat they found in a hole
Israel claimed Hamas used Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza as a command center. A Washington Post investigation finds the Israeli evidence falls short of proving its allegations. Important independent reporting.

The released hostages and their families represent a unique group of Israelis who can literally empathize with Palestinians in Gaza. As their stories reverberate. I wonder if it will impact Israeli apathy to Palestinian suffering or the lifespan of this government /4
The released Israeli hostages are the only Israelis who have a sense of what Gazans go through, of being on the receiving end of Israeli airstrikes- and you can see on their faces the horror and the trauma /2
The key driver of this war that no one ever outright names is the Israeli public’s desire for vengeance. (This is also what enabled the Iraq War after 9/11.) 20,000+ Palestinians are dead bc it would be politically untenable for Israel not to slaughter Palestinians after 10/7.
Pundits: Trump voters support him because their communities have eroded and they've lost faith in meritocracy and our institutions
Trump voters: No, we support him because we agree immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country"
Pundits: It's the meritocracy, right?
A reminder that Israel has no “right to defend itself” as an occupying power under international law. The only thing Israel can do is end the occupation.
Palestinians however, have the legal right to defend themselves, resist occupation, and return to their homes.
Aika monen suomalaisenkin kannattaisi lukea, miten Israel myöntää nyt sen mitä asiantuntijat sanoivat jo aiemmin: Gazan terveysministeriön antamiin lukemiin kuolleista ja haavoittuneista on tavallisesti voinut luottaa.
Itselleen rehellisemmät myöntänevät olleensa väärässä?
