Less than a third the number of local journalists in the US than there were 20 years ago

I suspect a similar decline here- though the Local Democracy Reporting programme may have slowed the decline somewhat

Arwa, do any memories stand out from your times in Gaza?

Every single day, with no exception, Israel is carrying out massacre after massacre in Gaza. The livestreamed genocide continues thanks to Israel's western allies that are too busy cracking down on any signs of dissent at home
BREAKING: At least 19 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza Strip today, say medical sources.

Not a single European country responded to the SOS of a sinking metal boat carrying 50 people including children. Were it not for Sea Watch, they would have drowned.

Europe doesn’t need a Trump. This is already the norm.

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.

It is unforgivable to bomb children, enable the bombing of children, support the bombing of children.

Children should not be in fear of the skies.
Not in Gaza, not in Myanmar, nor Ukraine, Yemen or anywhere else on the planet.

I remember seeing that during the last ceasefire Israel required anyone getting a medical evacuation sign that document giving up their right of return.

And how they intentionally split families up.

Always finding ways to cause increasing harm. So many ways.

It's true, fathers are not allowed to leave, and sometimes even children are evacuated without their parents. Sadly, these are ongoing war crimes by a state that acts above the law.
