Another reminder that there are hundreds of thousands of Palestinians unaccounted for, presumed dead, under rubble in the Gaza Strip. Gaza is an open-air extermination camp and Israel is attempting to kill those remaining via starvation, disease, airstrikes, and/or lack of care.
This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO
It’s probably time for their teams to confirm or deny because this story is everywhere now. If it actually isn’t true then it’s still going to do a lot of damage by letting all these rumours fly. If it is true, just say it so people can stop all the speculation
This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
Someone broke into my house and was holding me at gunpoint in the basement until the police arrived and negotiated a two-house solution wherein I get to keep the basement.
THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB was recently nominated for an Oscar, but true justice will come only when these terrorist killers are held accountable.
Hind’s mother, Wessam, has been working relentlessly alongside The Hind Rajab Foundation in this pursuit of justice. They have identified the names, ranks, units and chains of commands of 24 perpetrators and are building solid legal cases against every one of them.

The Voice of Hind Rajab is a film that I implore each & every one of you to seek out & watch.
They want you to forget, to become desensitized to this violence, or to be paralyzed by fear. It’s very important that you do the opposite & use this rage to organize & come together.
1000s of copies of the spotify fan first sent a whole week before the release day, potentially many digital sales being voided for pricing issues, only one day of promo in one city and 1 live performance, zero streaming push.... and his team celebrates????
