@nielsonTSN1260 It’s also possible that Hiller is a better coach than Knoblauch, and that he just had less talent to work with in LA.

[Khalid Elgazzar 🟩 @kelgazzar]

@nielsonTSN1260 I agree with Rishaug’s take. I doubt the Oil intended to fire Knoblauch unless/until they secured a HC they believe is a better fit. Once the Cassidy news leaked, they had no choice but to let him go. So, imo, it’s not right to draw a direct line btw KK and Hiller in this case.

[Khalid Elgazzar 🟩 @kelgazzar]

@EricMacramalla Meh. Their previous two head coaches were first timers.

I would have preferred Cassidy to Babcock but, from a hockey perspective, Babcock > Knoblauch.

This report by @CNN is genuinely beautiful, one of their best ever.

@OmarHamadD, huge congrats on this incredible project preserving Gaza’s books.

Thank you Pep Guardiola for using your platform.

Governments killing, displacing and dehumanising millions across the world want to make us think it's normal.

But Guardiola is right.

We can't look away. And we cannot accept it.

What is being asked of us right now is to fight for justice, for every single human.

You're not alone. Let's do it together. 🕯️

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Hind Rajab's mom, Wesam, made this brilliant speech on Saturday:

Ladies & gentlemen,
I'll begin with no introductions.
On January 29, 2024, my daughter Hind Rajab was trapped inside a car, under direct fire.

Hind was a five-year-old child.
At that age, children don't think about politics, & don't know the meaning of war.
All they know is fear… & the hope that someone will come to save them.

Hind didn't die suddenly.
Hind waited.
She waited for help,
For her cries to have meaning.

She said:
"I'm scared…come get me."

This isn't a literary phrase.
This is the last thing a child said,
who knew she might not survive.

She said a sentence that tore my heart apart:
"Mom, they're lying. Stay with me!"
At that moment, I realized the betrayal.

An ambulance was sent to her. It didn't arrive. It was bombed.

This means one thing:
Saving a life wasn't allowed.

Today, 2 years later,
I'm not standing here to tell you a sad story.
I am here to speak about responsibility.

I will pose a weighty question:
What is the value of a human life when it is Palestinian?

Because what happened to my daughter Hind,
Had it happened anywhere else, would have shaken the world.

But it was in Gaza.

And that is why time was allowed to pass,
& the crime to be forgotten.

I ask you to imagine, even for a few seconds,
The magnitude of pain that mothers in Gaza carry when they lose their children.

Imagine the bitterness of the pain,
When you cannot save your child,
Or even reach them,
Or know what their final moments were like.

This pain lives with mothers
every day,
& with every breath.

What happened to Hind is not just a personal story.
It reveals how a child can be left to die, before the eyes of the world, without accountability.

You live in countries that believe in the rule of law,
that teach human rights,
& sign agreements to protect children.

But Hind was not protected.
Nor were the paramedics.
Nor was the truth protected.

I don't blame the people of the world,
but I do hold silence responsible.
The silence that makes the crime possible,
& makes its repetition easy.

Your presence here today
means that you have chosen not to be silent.
And that is important.

But what is more important, is what happens after this event.

Will Hind remain just a name at an event?
Or will she become a turning point?

I am not asking for the impossible.
I am asking for something very simple:
That the life of a Palestinian child be protected… as if it were your own child's life.

If the law cannot save a child, then it is a law that needs to be held accountable.

And if the world only acts when the victim resembles its own children, then the world needs a new conscience.

Hind is no longer here.
But her story is a trust.
And a trust is not preserved with words,
But with actions!

[MSF International @MSF]

Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern Gaza, Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the Ministry of Health, he died from hypothermia.

"Children are losing their lives because they lack the most basic items for survival. Babies are arriving to the hospital cold, with near-death vital signs: even our best efforts are not enough. They say the war has ended, but people are still having to fight for their lives," says Bilal Abu Saada-Nursing Team Supervisor at Nasser Hospital.

The harsh winter weather combined with the already dire living conditions is increasing health risks and MSF teams are consistently seeing high rates of respiratory infections - something which will only increase throughout winter and is particularly dangerous for children under five-years old

As Gaza is battered by heavy rains and storms, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to struggle in flooded and broken makeshift tents. MSF calls on Israeli authorities to urgently allow a massive scale up of aid into the Strip.

[Khalid Elgazzar 🟩 @kelgazzar]

Far too late - many in Gaza have already died of starvation and hundreds of thousands more are severly/irreparably malnourished. Feels like a "better hurry up and get on the right side of history" post. This mass starvation was telegraphed months if not years ago. #Gaza

Aid must be permitted to reach people in Gaza. There is no justification for keeping food and water away from civilian families. https://t.co/ZkD1NqpwJN

. @MarkJCarney @AnitaAnandMP. Words of condemnation are insufficient. This catastrophe demands decisive action.

📍 Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral.

This tragedy must end now.
