The battle over the IHRA definition of antisemitism, in a nutshell: "you have to define it to fight it" = "you have to define all meaningful criticism of Israel/its policies/ Zionism as 'antisemitism' in order to suppress it, because we can't win the arguments otherwise."

Shujjaiya, Gaza City | Lt. Col Almog Ben Ami, 932 Battalion commander in an interview with ISL pub. broadcast chn. “Our mission is that they’ll have nowhere to go back to.. “ Q: to what depth are you now flattening? “As much as I can, as fast as possible Until they stop me”

Columbia has effectively wrecked dozens of students’ lives for peacefully protesting to end genocide---but when those same students begged for protection from a professor’s targeted harassment campaign, the university just shrugged. infinitejaz.substack.com/p/shai-davidai…

This mother, like almost every mother in Gaza, had been searching for food for her hungry children. An Israeli air strike killed them. If the world had any morality left, these screams would stop the monsters who have been starving and slaughtering children.

Israel imposed its total siege in Oct ‘23. US cut UNRWA funding in Jan ‘24. The fact that 2 million are starving now was not only foreseeable, it was deliberately planned and executed. Obfuscating this is genocide denial

Doesn’t mention that ISRAEL is starving them to death, but says “Hamas-run health ministry” to cast doubt on the deaths. They’re still just whitewashing genocide.

Israel flunkies have seamlessly transitioned from, "Without millions of dead it's a blood libel to even suggest genocide", to "Seven executed to cries of 'Allahu Akbar' is genocide because it's not Israel".

NYT’s role is to reduce textbook genocide to a series of bumbling accidents, “bad planning” or the unfortunate but inevitable result of “war”. This is why they constitutionally refuse to contextualize this with the dozens of openly genocidal statements made by Israeli officials

"But nothing has prepared me for the sheer horror I’m witnessing now: the weaponisation of starvation against an entire population." "Every day I watch patients deteriorate and die, not from their injuries, but because they are too malnourished to survive surgery."

what's maddening is that this has been obvious from the beginning but there have been so many people pretending that this isn't what's happening

I noticed that the wounded arriving from Israeli airstrikes were bleeding less, despite the severity of their injuries. When I asked a doctor, he explained that extreme hunger reduces blood platelets and body fluids, weakening circulation and limiting bleeding—but it also makes…

“Attacks from settlers, who are often accompanied by the Israeli army, are happening on an almost daily basis now, and these attacks are becoming more violent, resulting in more injuries and hospitalisation.” Our latest update from the West Bank: msf.org/neverending-vi…

🚨 Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, head of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, has lost a third of his body weight in Israeli detention — surviving on just two spoonfuls of rice a day, according to his lawyer. She was recently granted access to see him at Ofer prison and reports: ▪️…

Where are these headlines for Israel?

Images out of Gaza today are the worst I've ever seen. Children piled on a hospital floor, bloody, injured, dying, dead. A toddler with her intestines outside her body while another screams in terror, reaching out for safety. I can't express this feeling. The rage, the shame.

Obtained footage documents the hunting and killing of a Palestinian child out for water and a woman in Gaza by Israeli terrorists. In a recent investigation, soldiers admitted to modifying cheap Chinese drones to kill civilians, including children, likening it to a video game.

Oh I see—it's a coordinated rollout: the IDF, GHF, and complicit outlets like @Jerusalem_Post are all pushing the new line: yes, there's starvation, but it’s the UN’s fault for refusing to play nice with the GHF. Expect this talking point to be everywhere soon.

Israel is deliberately starving Gaza and gunning down Palestinians desperately seeking food, the images of emaciated bodies are everywhere, babies are starving to death. This is the headline from Washington Post.

Gaza is the graveyard of human rights

This broke me. 😭😭😭😭 These Palestinian toddlers weren't even alive on Oct 7. All they have known in their short lives is genocide. A genocide conducted by Israel, underwritten by the US, and supported by Europe.

🚨BREAKING: A horrific massacre: The Israeli army killed 10 civilians including 6 children and a paramedic, and wounded dozens in an airstrike targeting a home in northwest of Gaza City.
