Trump: “Not even a little bit…. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation”
Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue.
She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.
She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.
UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip.
The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed.

Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel.
Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone.
No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life.

In the 1950s, one out of every three workers in this country carried a union card. Today, it’s fewer than one in ten.
That decline didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of decades of coordinated attacks by corporations that have grown richer while working people have been asked to settle for less.
That’s the crisis we’re living through: deepening inequality, eroding stability, and a political system that too often answers to wealth instead of the will of the people.
Union Now is changing that — rebuilding the power of working people from the ground up. Yesterday, alongside @BernieSanders, I was proud to stand with organizers and workers at the @UnionNow_ rally.
23 years ago today in Gaza, British photographer Tom Hurndall was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper while trying to protect Palestinian children.

Israel killed this little Palestinian girl in Gaza today.
They shot her while she was sitting in class inside a tent in Beit Lahia.
She was only 9 years old.
No headlines. No outrage. No condemnation.
Not a peep from the “international community.”
