Now that a ceasefire in Gaza has been agreed, I wrote in @thenation.com about what the world has lost by allowing a genocide to continue unimpeded for 15 months, and where the Biden-Netanyahu war failed:

"I would come to the restaurant at least twice a week to finish my articles—to report the genocide of my people to the world. I thought it was a safe place, but in this land of death, there is no such thing."

This Channel 4 report is about Ali Faraj, who was thrown to a neighbor's roof by an Israeli airstrike that killed his father & all his sisters. Footage showed the 7 year old, face blackened from the explosion, lying in shock with his father's body behind him & his 2 year old sister split in half.

"We asked the IDF why, having arrested & released him twice, they then decided to target him in an airstrike...and why they considered his young family to be an acceptable level of collateral damage. They did not give us an answer." www.youtube.com/watch?v=AILY...

Neither Biden nor Netanyahu was ever seriously interested in freeing this US-Israeli soldier. Trump seemed to be, and was on the verge of securing his release in March before letting Netanyahu resume the war on Gaza.
At least the US might be understanding Netanyahu's priorities now.

Edan Alexander being released:
He's an American from New Jersey who left the US to join the Israeli army. He was captured from an army base near Gaza. He should never have been there & serious questions should be asked of those in his life who encouraged him to join the apartheid regime's military.

Our remarkable colleague Abubaker Abed never wanted to leave his homeland. In a deeply personal essay, he describes the excruciating decisions he was forced to make.

Netanyahu claims Israel breaking the ceasefire, imposing a starvation siege & killing 2500 people is why Hamas will release Edan Alexander.
Hamas had said it would release him right before the ceasefire was broken. He would've been home 2 months ago if it weren't for Netanyahu.

Israeli settlers in civilian vehicles stormed the town of Sa’ir, north of Hebron, firing indiscriminately and causing civilians—including children—to flee in panic.

Did not expect to see this headline from The Guardian. It’s good to finally be getting clarity in the language around Gaza.

Yahya Sobeih's last post this morning: a picture with his daughter, born earlier today. A few hours later, he was killed in an Israeli airstrike with at least 28 other people in Gaza City. Pictures show parents and children among the dead as people had gathered to find a wifi connection & buy food.

Since launch, @dropsitenews.com has had some of the best English-language coverage of the Gaza genocide. They use journalists on the ground and give credence to local sources & political actors-which should be standard for all media but clearly isn't. Happy to have joined their livestream this week.

Israel's prison service put out the image on the left today, of Palestinian prisoners in an Israeli torture camp under a large picture of Gaza's destruction.
The guy who runs these camps was in Mar A Lago today, to call for bombing...food (see his own post) in Gaza.

Israel bans Palestinians from digging wells on their own land/tapping into the West Bank aquifer. Israel's water company Mekorot illegally pumps water from the occupied West Bank then sells it back to Palestinians at inflated prices.

A 2017 Amnesty Intl report on Israeli water policies found Palestinians in the occupied West Bank consume 73 liters per day (WHO recommended daily min is 100L). Israelis living in the same place consume 300L per day.
In Gaza today, it's SIX liters per day.

cowards.
A series of speakers at an Overseas Press Club awards dinner last night mourned the 175-plus journalists who have been killed in Gaza since October 2023.
But none of the speakers directly mentioned the country that killed all of their fellow journalists: Israel.

Around the same time the Israelis were firing missiles at tents in the displacement zone in the south, they also hit a tent near Kamal Adwan hospital in the north. Footage is graphic.

10 people burned to death tonight,
after an Israeli airstrike,
on a tent,
in the “humanitarian zone”.
Somehow, 18 months in, the apartheid regime still finds a way to shock you with its depravity.
