The situation in Gaza is getting worse by the day. The intentional starvation is showing its monstrous effect on people. This is the time to come together as a community and send money to the hands of people who are desperately trying to survive. We mustn't avert our look chuffed.org/project/1274...

The Israeli army raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, with more than 350 people inside at the time of the attack. Female staff told journalists that they were forced to strip off their clothes by soldiers and were beaten if they refused.

⚠️Footage from Kamal Adwan Hospital shows neonatal wards of babies that cannot be moved or evacuated!!

Inside the hospital are hundreds of ill patients taking cover from the detonation of explosive devices and bombing outside of the hospital by the occupation

My take on all the Trump genuflection:

Once you have convinced yourself you can stay silent on a genocide unfolding live on your phone, you can stay silent/make peace with pretty much anything.

Israel has blown a massive hole in our moral universe and now pretty anything can drive through it.
For @theguardian.com I wrote about how Gaza has split the academic field of genocide studies.

As one scholar put it, “Where can the field stand if scholars from within and around it are unwilling to call the behaviour out?”

My latest.

‘Dead bodies, blood and body parts all over’. At least eight Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Musa bin Nusair School in Gaza City, where forcibly displaced Palestinians were sheltering.

The mopey liberal solipsism is given away with the subjects used—the anodyne “Middle East” and “Israel-Hamas war”. HRW and Amnesty recently deemed Israel’s assault on Gaza a genocide—a word conspicuously absent here. Because if it was even broached, “nuance” would be a morally unserious position
