After 15 months of genocide in Gaza, a ceasefire has been declared — but the US, UK & others must be held accountable for arming these atrocities.

We’ll keep speaking out until the siege lifts, aid flows, schools & hospitals are rebuilt, the Occupation ends & Palestine is free.

I'm in awe of Palestinian birders who continue taking their binoculars and cameras out after their home became a war zone.

Even when it means risking their lives, they keep going because knowing the birds have returned another year gives them hope.

The International Court of Justice will rule on whether Israel violated the Genocide Convention.

Palestinian American human rights lawyer Noura Erakat explains what you should know about the case.

Yesterday Tobasi told me he was preparing himself to be taken hostage

Today both him & Mustafa @freedom_theatre have been taken by the Israeli army

Please demand their immediate release. We've seen in the past that international pressure works & the first few hours are crucial

[Protean Magazine @proteanmag]

Fargo Tbakhi (@YouKnowFargo) writes with a reflective essay on the role and duty of writing amidst a genocide. How do hegemonic priorities dictate style, content, and status? What can words do for Gaza, when words are also the vehicle of cruel ideology?
