BREAKING: @SenBooker’s speech in New Jersey was just shut down by protestors who interrupted him after a few seconds, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza (Palestine) where a Palestinian child is being killed every 10 minutes. Booker was taken by surprise and had to exit immediately.

His name was Shaaban. He was loved by his family and friends, a memorizer of the Quran. He’s named after the month that in the Islamic tradition is referred to as the forgotten month. Let him never be forgotten.

Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act is a law that prohibits the United States from providing security assistance or arms
sales to any country when the President is made aware that the country’s government “prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian assistance.”

@GovMurphy Thanks for recognizing my uncle and his outstanding contributions to the American Muslim community, @GovMurphy. I hope that you will shift your policy platform to stop more Palestinians from enduring the same experience as my uncle Dawud.

JUST NOW: US Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib boldly holds up this sign as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses the United States Congress. Thank you Rashida for speaking truth to the face of an oppressor; a man who has been convicted for war crimes in the International Criminal Court.

It is estimated that around 190,000 Palestinians - mostly women and children - have been killed by Israel since they began attacking Gaza in October 2023. A Palestinian child is being killed by Israel every few minutes.

"I've seen combat in war zones...this is nothing like this...I've done more amputations & seen more traumatic amputations of children than I've seen during my entire career in the last 2 weeks." Dr. Adam Hamawy, fmr trauma surgeon who served in Iraq, on the conditions in Gaza

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

“My soul is gone.”

Almost 14,000 children killed in Gaza since October 7, according to health authorities.

@JDiamond1 reported on the deaths of ten children 2 weeks ago.

They are harrowing images, impossible to forget.

Now, his latest report on that Israeli strike.

[Khalil Sayegh @KhalilJeries]

With a heavy heart I announce that my 18-year-old younger sister, Lara Sayegh, was killed today on her way from Gaza City to the south. She and my mother were reaching Egypt for safety. My angel collapsed as she was walking on the “safe route” past the Israeli checkpoint, in an area where the Israeli armed forces has long refused to allow any ambulances, cars, or other emergency response to enter. My mother, who was accompanying her from the Catholic church to Rafah, is currently in a coma as a result of the shock. She is in much need of your prayers. Lara is the second immediate family member I lost after my father, who died on December 21 2023 due to the prevention of medical care or ambulances to the church which they take refuge.

In the face of the enemy’s brutality that normalized all sorts of direct and indirect killings, we praise God as our judge and our refuge, even if we don't get much-needed justice on this earth, we will certainly do so in the afterlife when we all stand in front of Christ. Until then I will continue to fight for justice for my family and other victims of this genocide.

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Israel has dropped more than 70,000 bombs on Gaza in 200 days.

That’s 20 times more than the US dropped on Iraq in 6 years.

And Iraq is 3,500 times the size of Gaza

It’s not a war.

It’s a full on genocide.

FUCK ISRAEL

@arblauvelt @arblauvelt how do you like it so far? I need one too

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

Staggering. The number of children reported killed in just over 4 months in #Gaza is higher than the number of children killed in 4 years of wars around the world combined.

This war is a war on children. It is a war on their childhood and their future.

#ceasefireNow for the sake of children in #Gaza

[Pelham @Resist_05]

Israeli tanks have just targeted citizens waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza, this is one of the worst war crimes in modern history…🇵🇸💔

[Nicola James @NAJ562]

This young woman’s last speech went viral with more than a million views. Her speech in #Bath today is even more incredible:

“Shame on everyone who stole their childhood. The weapons manufacturers, right here in the UK, who profit off their pain. The media who cloak each killing in the passive tense denying them respect even in death. The politicians who drop their kids at school then go to Parliament and debate whether 13,000 Palestinian children’s lives really warrant a ceasefire. Is really a genocide. Just this week the UK abstained from the UN ceasefire vote while my home of the United States single-handedly vetoed it. The selfishness, the cowardice, the racism, make us all furious at our representatives.”

Everyone should hear her powerful words. I hope @STWuk and @PSCupdates will invite her to speak at one of their London rallies soon!

Thank you @GerryConnolly for standing up on the right side of history.

[Rep. Gerry Connolly @GerryConnolly]

Netanyahu's planned operation in Rafah will have catastrophic consequences for innocent Palestinians.

Stop the killing. Negotiate a lasting ceasefire to end the suffering and free the hostages.
