Bombing our office in Gaza will not stop our humanitarian relief work there. It will not stop us from bringing injured kids like Weam out for free care. https://t.co/Hz2f1jqHYG
Bernie points out the depth of the problem and the beginning and end of the problem here. We need full equality and human rights for the Palestinian people to stop the rise of extremism on both sides. #PalestiniansLivesMatter
"I know the the international community is behind a ceasefire. But the question is, are they behind an end to the blockade and occupation? That remains to be seen."
Our Advocacy and Campaigns Manager, @rohantalbot, says the ceasefire is only a first step.
It’s a relief to hear of the ceasefire. But this does not end the occupation, it does not stop the systemic discrimination, dispossession & displacement of Palestinians that is at the root of the ongoing violations we see today. #Israel#Palestine#GazaUnderAttack
Please, please, please world media: Don't talk about a "return to calm" or "an end to violence" in #Gaza when the ceasefire comes.
There is no calm for Palestinians under blockade, there is no end to violence under occupation. One side's calm is the other's perpetual oppression
Israel's occupation, ethnic cleansing, land theft, military oppression, siege & destruction are all an ongoing system of aggression. That's the real "ceasefire" that #Palestine needs. Once & for all. End #IsraeliApartheid & #settlercolonialism. #FreePalestine.
.@rohantalbot said a ceasefire is an essential step but with tens of thousands displaced from their homes, the impact continues to be felt.
"The traumatic part of this, psychological toll for 2 million people in Gaza, that continues. The injuries are only part of the story"
🚨 Latest from the Ministry of Health in #Gaza: 219 Palestinians killed including 63 children and 16 elderly people. 1,530 have been injured.
@ochaopt reported yesterday that 72,000 people are now displaced from their homes, with 47,000 sheltering in crowded UNRWA schools.
I've always been inspired in the 30 years of working with injured kids in #Gaza by their spirit. You can't break it. It's best exemplified by a kid like Mohammed, who had his leg shot off in 2018 and who we are treating there. We have failed them, but they remain strong.
Justice and freedom for the Palestinian people is a litmus test for being an honest decent person. So many so-called liberals who I followed on Twitter during the last administration thinking they were clever or insightful don’t say sh*t now. They’re cowards and hypocrites.
There's a new spirit in #Palestine. A popular rebellion, energized by young Palestinians throughout historical Palestine & in exile, is exposing #IsraeliApartheid & taking us back to basics: This settler-colonial enterprise cannot subdue or defeat us. #PalestineWillBeFree.
Please @JoeBiden please join the world community and bipartisan leaders here in calling for a #CeasefireNOW in the ongoing, deadly and meaningless conflict happening in Israel and Palestine. The world needs your leadership.
This is minor in the context, but any advice?
Work now being 24/7 means that there's no way I'm going hit my deadline on submitting my manuscript to a specific journal by mid-June. It's written, but editing schedule now way off. What's the best course of action? Pay an editor?
“...America’s Finest News Source has made the difficult but important decision to call on the IDF to immediately bomb our offices in a targeted airstrike in case any Hamas agents are hiding out there.”
