Front page right now. Shame on the rest of the Israeli media that only Haaretz is showing this. Shame on anyone telling these girls to "release the hostages." Shame on anyone still denying this. Shame on all of us for allowing this.
Tragic news continues to arrive in these days from the Middle East, especially from Gaza. I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday’s attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and gravely wounded others. I pray for the victims, Saad Issa Kostandi Salameh, Foumia Issa Latif Ayyad, Najwa Ibrahim Latif Abu Daoud, and I am particularly close to their families and to all the parishioners.

The U.S. wants UN Special Rapportuer on Palestine @FranceskAlbs removed. Bipartisan group of congresspeople demanded her ouster early this year. Last month, the U.S. ambassador to the UN said Albanese is “not fit” for any UN post. I asked Albanese about this. Her response:
Note they are trying to erase the occupation and negate the Palestinian right to self-determination and rather frame it as a struggle between Israel and Iran or the West and Iran.
Staggering piece of reportage, data viz & photography from a team at Bloomberg on the ruin that is Gaza. 42 million tonnes of rubble.
As an historian specializing in *post-WW2 reconstruction* puts it: “Gaza is something never seen before in the history of urbanism.”

Just so we’re clear, Netanyahu has lost so many people that he is addressing just a fraction of Congress.
When this happens, they fill the seats with non-members, like what they do at award ceremonies, in order to project the appearance of full attendance and support.
