1/ More words that have lost their meaning over the past year: "war" and "fear". Israel is not fighting a "war". Wars are decided. Wars are fought between two sides. Israel wants no decision and it annihilates alone. We Israelis claim an "existential fear". That is lie. --->

🚨BREAKING: A horrific night in Ramallah, in the West Bank.

Hundreds of Israeli terrorist settlers launched a brutal attack on the city of Ramallah, setting fire to numerous Palestinian homes and vehicles.

After setting Palestinian homes and cars on fire, they moved to the main road connecting Ramallah to other cities, where they targeted Palestinian cars passing by, injuring a woman by hurling stones at her vehicle.

1/ Israel annihilates. The annihilation is not a purpose in and of itself. The annihilation is a message, the beginning of a process. When the process matures the victims will forget they ever lived actual, meaningful lives. They will be grateful for simply drawing breath. --->

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

No one should have any doubts, or can reasonably have any doubts, that Israel intends and is carrying out a planned strategy of exterminating the entire Palestinian people.

This is an hour of unparalleled disgrace in modern history. We will be demanding answers from the international community as well, not only from Israeli leaders. We will be demanding answers from the courts, the institutions, the member states, the allies, the politicians, the diplomats, the academic institutions, and the media outlets:

Why did you shut your mouth when one person was exterminating another in plain sight of the whole world? Who and what made you silent in the face of one of the greatest genocides we've ever known?

All of them are responsible and accountable. Every single person and institution that has a voice and a platform, and uses them for shameful silent complicity

This column is a masterpiece of explanation, clarity and truth.

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it.

Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp.

But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now.

We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial.

Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer.

We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Kamala Harris likened Israel’s creation to the US civil rights movement during a 2017 speech to AIPAC

She even claimed she donated to the JNF, Israel’s leading vehicle for land theft

How soulless and sold out must you be to equate the Nakba with Selma?

What the hell are Black Jobs?? Here's an update to your 'White Supremacy for Dummies' textbook👏🏾 #USPresidentialDebate #Trump #Biden

[Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu @SholaMos1]

Bayan's brother isn't a 'casualty' of war but an intended target of Israel's evil vindictive genocidal collective punishment on all Palestinians. This makes me so angry. Who the hell does Israel think it is? May justice be served on Israel as justice was served on Nazi Germany.

[Stanley Cohen @StanleyCohenLaw]

I have been in the midst of war for decades in multiple places. I have had friends assassinated, crippled and disappeared. Nothing makes me more ashamed of humanity than the murder of children. Israel ... second to none.

[David Melvill @e_neural]

@x , they suspended @zei_squirrel when they didn’t break any rules or guidelines. Unban them now and stop arbitrarily suspending accounts that expose Israeli propaganda!  @Support @elonmusk

Look at them proudly filming themselves being racists & desecrating vandals.

[Younis Tirawi | يونس @ytirawi]

This report sends shivers down my spine

Israel didn’t claim the Indonesian Hospital in Jabalia Refugee Camp to be a covert Hamas base, but still destroyed it

“I told them that I was a nurse. They took me to the corner & beat me. Every question was accompanied by a slap”

[Lana Tatour @Lana_Tatour]

In 1948, Israel expelled the majority of Palestinians from their homeland and shot them when they tried to return to their homes. It’s now doing it again.

[Mustafa Barghouti @Mustafa_Barghouti @MustafaBarghou1]

The Israeli army shot 7 Palestinians who were trying to to go back to their homes in Northern Gaza

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I have written to the Prime Minister to express my growing distress over his continued refusal to call for a ceasefire.

[Amro Ali @_amroali]

A genocide researcher who is also a genocide survivor is rejected for job because of her evidence-based posts on an ongoing genocide.

העיתונאי ישראל פריי נמלט לדירת מסתור לאחר שמאות ביריוני ימין התנפלו על ביתו וניסו לפגוע בו. הוא מבקש באמצעותי להעביר אליכם מסר, קצת ארוך, אבל בבקשה הקשיבו ושתפו גם אם אתם לא מסכימים (גם לי יש הסתייגויות) כדי שנראה לכולם שלא נפסיק להיאבק עד שגם אנשים כמו פריי יוכלו להביע דעתם בישראל הדמוקרטית ללא פחד:

Journalist Israel Frey fled to a hiding place after hundreds of right-wing bullies attacked his home and attempted to harm him. He asked me to share this message with you. It's a bit long, but please listen and share even if you don't agree (I have reservations too) so that we can show everyone that we won't stop fighting until people like Frey can express their opinion in democratic Israel without fear:

[Shahid Bolsen @ShahidkBolsen]

Israel's bombing of the #GazaHospital has absolutely drawn the line between the West and the world.
