Ok this might be the weirdest story I’ve ever reported on, involving: • A totally fabricated “exclusive” • A suspected pro-Netanyahu influence campaign • An author whose biography is entirely made up What on earth is going on at @JewishChron ? 972mag.com/jewish-chronic…
Read this desperate plea by my colleague @ruwaidaamer8, written with what little energy she has left, then do something — anything in your power — to make this stop. 972mag.com/hunger-gaza-fo…

People need to get their head around the fact that most of Gaza literally doesn’t exist anymore. Israel has systematically razed it to the ground so that even if it can’t find countries to expel Palestinians to, they’ll have to leave anyway because Gaza can no longer sustain life
The Israeli Army just published a video (via @newsisrael13) documenting its own war crimes, proudly showing the world it is in the process of eradicating human existence in Khan Yunis, what is known in international law as genocide. 13tv.co.il/item/news/poli…
Britain’s @JewishChron too, btw. And they still haven’t come clean as to how exactly they hired a fake journalist and published fake Israeli intelligence as part of an influence op by Netanyahu’s own office
German media was specifically part of Netanyahu's plan to hold on to power, leaking faked docs to BILD to prevent a ceasefire, the NYT reports
Extraordinary paragraph in today’s Observer starkly revealing the influence of the Israel lobby over decisionmaking at the BBC observer.co.uk/news/national/…

“It’s like a video game. You’re hundreds of meters away, you play with the joystick, see the target, and drop [a grenade].” In interviews with @972mag, Israeli soldiers admit to targeting civilians — including children — with drone strikes in Gaza. 972mag.com/drones-grenade…

INVESTIGATION: The Israeli army is using Chinese-made drones affixed with grenade launchers to enforce expulsion orders across Gaza, with soldiers saying they deliberately target civilians so others will ‘learn’ not to return. By @yuval_abraham @mekomit 972mag.com/drones-grenade…
Hundreds of Palestinians have been shot dead while trying to access aid in the past month, in what one Israeli soldier described as a ‘killing field’. @bentreyf reports. prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/israel/g…

Now an investigation by Haaretz confirms what we already knew: senior Israeli commanders in Gaza are instructing soldiers to open live fire directly on starving crowds at aid sites who pose no threat whatsoever. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
If you read one article this weekend, read this. @Ebtisam_mahdi and Ahmed Ahmed report from inside what Gazans are calling the “The Hunger Games” — near-daily Israeli massacres at food distribution sites, killing 400+ Palestinians in less than a month. 972mag.com/hunger-games-i…
2 million Palestinians are now crammed into 18% of Gaza’s territory (66km2). Most of them are living in tent camps full of mosquitoes, rodents, and worms, where there is one toilet per 200 residents. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

Under cover of war with Iran, Israel is squeezing Palestinians into an ever-shrinking sliver of Gaza
Breaking breaking: Five minutes ago, Israel issued a new evacuation threat in Gaza. This time it’s in Khan Younis, expanding what they call “combat zone”. That’s photo No. 1 Photo No. 2 shows the evacuation threat three days ago. Photo No. 3 shows the map of areas under…

What’s fuelling Israel’s spiralling regional aggression is the fact it knows it can get away with it. To end the killing we must end the impunity. My latest for @NewStatesman. newstatesman.com/comment/2025/0…
