Every year when the world commemorates the courage of Tank Man in China, I’m reminded of 14-year-old Tank Boy Fares Odeh, may he rest in power. His bravery in the face of Israel/i tanks barging into Gaza deeply inspired my generation. It ripped the fear out of our hearts. (1/8)


“Israel has killed a classroom full of children every single day.” UNRWA Sam Rose tells BBC Radio 4. Children in #Gaza have been killed while sleeping, sheltering in schools, or queuing for water. Graphic by @TRTWorld
There is no hypocrisy on this earth more glaring than the hollow words of leaders like @vonderleyen — who speaks of mercy for Gaza while lifting not a single finger. Their tongues cry ‘humanitarian aid,’ but their hands remain idle, complicit in the siege they pretend to mourn.
Imagine the horror of a mass school shooting—the heartbreak, the rage, you feel when a whole class of little kids are shot dead. Israel commits that level of child slaughter daily. 27 kids on average. If you memorize any statistic about the Israeli army, it should be that.
We are literally watching our Gaza correspondents starving live on TV, watching their bodies go thinner and thinner, their faces paler and paler, the look in their eyes sadder and sadder. This is unforgivable. History will not forgive us for having let this happen. Shame on us
Did you know the U.S. gov has given more money to Israel—a country with free healthcare and education—than to African Americans throughout all of U.S. history? This, despite there being seven times more African Americans than Israelis—and despite Black Americans paying taxes.
Are we truly committed to “never again?”
Entirely man made. Only political will & leadership can reverse full-fledged starvation. Are we truly committed to “never again” ? #Gaza
The failure started when countries of the global south did not pursue true justice against war criminals responsible for the millions of deaths in Algeria, Congo, Vietnam, Ireland, India, Iraq and elsewhere. Colonial serial killers built a mentality of getting away with it.…
🟥 A humanitarian worker in Gaza shared the following report with Drop Site News, along with the attached hospital referral document: “For those who do not understand what it means for a home to be bombed by an F-35 or F-16: we’re talking about a bomb weighing more than 1,000…
Inside a Gaza tent, a father tries to calm his daughter as Israeli missiles fall nearby. “It’s just the wind,” he tells her. The little girl, shaking, replies: “I’m really scared. This isn’t the wind.”
The Bantustan PA security forces suppress protests for Gaza across the West Bank today, reminding everyone that they are here to implement the occupation’s goals as a subcontractor. Meanwhile, Israeli settlers burnt olive groves and attacked villagers - and these forces hid.
A week after the EU and @kajakallas “deal” with Israel to let humanitarian aid in, the situation on the ground is worse than it’s ever been and people are collapsing from starvation. Shameful.
🚨 How the Israel government manipulated the European Commission, yet again. Israel is under massive pressure to ease the humanitarian situation in Gaza based on its obligations and m because of the shifting global battle where they’re losing legitimacy. 🧵
Mahmoud Abbas announces elections (again), with one caveat: You are not allowed to run unless you carry his political platform. He is going down in history as one of the most inconsequential, uninspiring, complicit leaders the Palestinian cause has ever seen. Disgraceful.
For the first time in history, Gaza is importing 100% of its blood units, as the severe hunger and dehydration have left the entire population too unwell to donate.
In every alley in Gaza, you will find a child crying of hunger. Forced hunger due to a man made siege. Just a few miles away, is enough food to feed all Gaza for two months.
When this genocide ends… Every Palestinian in Gaza who survives must be granted a universal income — paid for by the corporations that gorged on their bloodshed. When this genocide ends… Every home reduced to rubble must be rebuilt — funded by those who profited from the…
Two million people starved, forced to give away everything to feed their families.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed in a stampede at a GHF aid site, reportedly triggered by teargas fired by American contractors, as Palestinians in Gaza continue to starve under Israel’s blockade. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/8i02z2
