I've resigned from @hrw after 10+ yrs—most as Israel/Palestine Director—after HRW's new ED pulled a finalized report on the right of return for Palestinian refugees on eve of its release & blocked for weeks its publication in a principled way. Full story: https://t.co/npbjjwBqf5
This is what western liberalism does. It professed moral outrage at the genocide only when it was certain that it would not change the outcome as was the case after the Ahli hospital massacre. Now it goes back to defending the power structures that made the genocide inevitable.
HRW “worried that the findings “will be misread by many… as a call to demographically extinguish the Jewishness of the Israeli state”
Curious how @hrw seeks to end #Apartheid but maintain a Jewish majority manufactured and sustained by law. https://t.co/XAJgR93F90
🚨HOLY FU*KING HELL: A physician’s sworn affidavit just destroyed the official narrative.
He says he ran to the scene, identified himself as a doctor, and BEGGED to help Alex Pretti.
ICE agents blocked him, demanded a physician’s license, and still weren’t performing CPR.
When he finally got through, he found Pretti on his side with multiple gunshot wounds in his back and started CPR himself.
That’s the story: they shot him… then wouldn’t let a doctor treat him.
Case 0:25-cv-04669 | Doc. 109 (filed 1/24/26)
Yes, it’s only one candidate in one race. But tonight, in the largest US city, @ZohranKMamdani defeated not only the former Governor, but also the most powerful and nefarious political forces in the country, tens of millions of dollars in anti-Zohran spending, an unprecedented campaign of racist and Islamophobic attacks, lies, and smears, the billionaire oligarchs, the real estate lobby, the Zionist lobby, the Wall Street robber barons, the corrupt Democrat and Republican parties, the super pacs, corporate media, and the US President, proving that the rapid US slide into fascism is not inevitable, the empire is not invulnerable, and it is not too late to fight back. This is what they feared most. Congratulations to Zohran. Now it’s time for millions across the country to pick up the torch.
Breaking News: Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old state lawmaker from Queens, will be the 111th mayor of New York. He will be the first Muslim to ever lead the city, as well as its first South Asian mayor and the youngest mayor in more than a century.

This morning, we learned of the death of Raafat Salha—@ICHR_Pal Gaza Director—following an Israeli strike on 14 January. Just hours after a ceasefire agreement was announced, an Israeli attack killed @pchrgaza staff member Ihab Fisal.
Attacks on Palestinian HRDs are intolerable & must end now.

"Sudanese are starving to death."
Horn of Africa Project Director @AlanBoswell was live on @AJEnglish to talk about the devastating situation in #Sudan and the need for a concerted diplomatic effort to end the war.
I am deeply saddened by the reports of deaths and injuries - including of journalists and medical personnel - connected to protests and street demonstrations in Kenya.
I urge the Kenyan authorities to exercise restraint, and call for all demonstrations to take place peacefully.
President William Ruto’s admin keeps failing test after test.
They should know that most of the footage of the protests are coming from the protesters themselves.
