At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs.
We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.

A sitting U.S. lawmaker just told 2.3 million Palestinians to “starve away,” brushing off their agony as a hoax and spewing Islamophobia. This is an open endorsement of genocide and collective punishment - a war crime.

The venerable Prof Murphy succinctly and ruthlessly debunks here, the absolute unequivocal donkey shit, that you are spoon fed, about nationalising water.

It’s all a load of absolute bollox. Its bare lies. Its them relying on you being stupid.

It will cost nothing.

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency.

They are out of energy and they are starving to death.

I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Jehad. Jehad worked as an accountant before all this. Him and his wife Noor were expecting their first child but they sadly lost the baby. Jehad is trying to help his extended family including Julia, 2, Ivana, 4, Samar, 6, Joud, 7 and Amir, 8.
