When I was in the West Bank settlers attacked olive pickers, saying they were Hamas agents. IDF soldiers used the same pretext to stop the harvest. One soldier told me picking olives was a “political act.” A thread on things I saw while reporting for The New Yorker:

Six-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab, who pleaded to be rescued from Israeli forces, was killed by Israeli tanks, as were her aunt, uncle, and three cousins, as well as the paramedics who were trying to rescue her. @graiggraziosi https://t.co/Y7SDlA6bgO

@thejournal_ie This is fine. Nothing to see here. Just a normal working economy. Isn’t that right @LeoVaradkar (one man’s rent is another man’s income … you can now loose your job and home)

[Katie Halper @kthalps]

This is a kind of huge deal.

I urge people to watch and share this because in just 6 minutes this young Jewish girl nails down what politicians have failed to grasp for generations.

Quite brilliant.

At the end of the video you see Dunya speaking

“A 12-year old Palestinian girl, with the most beautiful of names Dunya, which means the world, lost both her parents, her sister and her brother, all killed in Israel’s shelling of her house. She also lost her leg. And Dunya said that while she will never forget her loved ones, she has to continue living. That she would become a doctor to help children as doctors helped her. But, Dunya did not live to become a doctor or to memorialize her family, she was killed a few days later in the strike on the maternity ward of Al Nasser hospital.”

12-year-old Dunia lost her leg in an Israeli airstrike that killed her whole family.

We filmed this video with Dunia during the seven-day truce, and yesterday an Israeli tank-fired shell killed her while she was recovering in Naser Hospital in Khan Younis.

@IsraelinUK @alexander_olly You threw the donated blood of Ethiopian Jews into the bin for years… let’s not try and fool anyone that you are ‘inclusive’

@antooconnell @danobrien20 I disagree… we have the politicians of a country that doesn’t want to make any hard decisions

Israel said Gazans could flee to this neighbourhood - then it was hit.

Using on-the-ground footage, satellite imagery and mapping software, Sky News found that a building in Deir al Balah was hit on 5 December, one day after Israel told civilians they could flee to the city.

@davidmcw @TEDTalks Wasn’t it this action that got Dunning and Kruger to come up with their theory of being ‘too stupid to know you aren’t smart’?

[Rami Jarrah @RamiJarrah]

The moment Aljazeera Journalist Momen Al-Sharafi breaks the news that his entire family of 21 members were just killed in an Israeli Airstrike in #Gaza.

The look he gives as he is no longer able to talk, is heartbreaking.

My message from Gaza today:

[Shona Murray @ShonaMurray_]

Is this real? Is this what’s happening? Is this what the world is watching? Premature babies left to die and decompose.

#PalestineRefugees need more than just aid.

They need a just solution.
