Our film “No Other Land” on occupied Masafer Yatta’s brutal expulsion won best documentary in Berlinale. Israel’s channel 11 aired this 30 second segment from my speech, insanely called it “anti semitic” - and I’ve been receiving death threats since. I stand behind every word.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

We’ve had to make the impossible choice to pause aid distributions in Northern Gaza. There’s an incredible level of desperation against the backdrop of immense humanitarian need.

A famine doesn’t have to happen. But if things don’t change, it will.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Over and over again, I hear the President and Members of Congress express deep concern about Netanyahu and the humanitarian disaster in Gaza that he has caused.

Then why are they supporting giving Netanyahu another $10 billion to continue his war against the Palestinian people?

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

I strongly condemn an incident yesterday in which an aid convoy was fired upon while traveling from northern Gaza to Rafah. 

The convoy was clearly marked and its movements were coordinated with the parties. 

Attacks on humanitarian workers are unlawful. The conflict must stop.

[Thomas White @TomWhiteCW8]

People are hungry and just desperate for food @UNRWA convoy in #Gaza City this week.
40% of the population at risk of famine.
More regular supplies needed - require safe and sustainable #humanitarain access everywhere including to the North of Gaza

[The Spectator Index @spectatorindex]

BREAKING: Israel will stop granting automatic visas to United Nations employees, says UN agencies have been 'complicit partners' in the tactics of Hamas.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

136 of our colleagues in Gaza have been killed in 75 days – something we have never seen in @UN history.

Most of our staff have been forced from their homes.

I pay tribute to them & the thousands of aid workers risking their lives as they support civilians in Gaza.

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

This is what happened at the Nakba in 1948. Its exactly the same playbook. First the Israelis drove out the Palestinians with atrocities & mass murder. Then they demolished the villages & built settlements over the ruins. Then they denied the Palestinians had ever been there or that they ever existed.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

While diabetes and obesity rates in America soar, the food and beverage industry spends billions on advertising to get consumers, including young children, hooked on their unhealthy products. This has got to stop. A good place to start? Banning junk food ads targeted at kids.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Just how bad is Gaza? A study just concluded the "civilian proportion of deaths is HIGHER THAN THAT IN ALL WORLD CONFLICTS IN 20TH CENTURY"

And that's 20TH CENTURY, you know, the one with both world wars.

The horror we're seeing is truly unprecedented.

After the shameful UN #CEASEFIRE_NOW vote, it’s time for @WorkingFamilies to field more state and national candidates. @POTUS and @PADems no longer represent mainstream democratic values. US support for Palestinian genocide is my red line.

[Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies]

Israel has now dropped 50,000 tons of explosives on Gaza’s civilian population in 63 days—three times more than the Hiroshima nuclear bomb.

Call it what it is: GENOCIDE

[IfNotNow🔥✡️ @IfNotNowOrg]

This is an abomination. As Jews, to see this being done in our name... horrifying, despicable, words fail.

This is what our government supports in Gaza. Thousands of children murdered, people being rounded up, stripped, and G-d knows what else.

Ceasefire NOW, end this nightmare

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.

Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

[Lara Friedman @LaraFriedmanDC]

Think it's an exaggeration to talk about "McCarthyism" with respect to efforts to shut down criticism of Israel? I give you: HR 6578, intro'd 12/5, a bipartisan bill to create equivalent of the House Un-American Activities Committee - but this time targeting critics of Israel.

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

APARTHEID

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Israel blows up Gaza's "Palace of Justice" compound which housed the Palestinian Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the Court of First Instance & the Magistrate.

100,000s of vital case documents are gone.

Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure is a War Crime!
