Suddenly media outlets are noticing the catastrophe enveloping Gaza. We warned you what Israel would do from the start. There are no excuses. Don't let the complicit erase their guilt 👇 owenjones.news/p/we-warned-yo…

The head of the World Health Organisation on how the IDF entered a WHO building in Gaza, forcing women and children out & handcuffing, stripping & interrogating WHO staff. One staff member remains detained.

🇺🇸🇹🇳🇮🇱🇵🇸 STARVING KIDS: The Tunisian President's Sarcastic welcomes Trump's envoy with images of hungry children in Gaza! “These images depict a crime against humanity; is this the international law? Laws that are collapsing more and more every day. Such a concept no longer has…

Then we'd be truly fucked.

Shocking statement about how the journalists the world has been relying on for images and reports about what’s going on in Gaza are slowly dying of starvation @AFP 🧵

Israel's loyalists in the US are trained to dismiss every source that disparages Israel: every media outlet, UN agency, humanitarian aid group: all lying anti-Semites. Here's a European doctor from the noble @MSF - if that's what you need - on what she's seen with her own eyes:

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero: “Israel is starving to death those it hasn’t already killed with bombs in Gaza.” “90% of the population is in phase 5 famine, and soon 400 people a day will die of hunger.” “This is extermination.” “And Europe is on its knees before Israel.” 🇪🇸 🇵🇸

During the 1970s and 1980s I often had the impression that a significant proportion of settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip were veterans of foreign wars. Specifically, Americans who had served in Vietnam and French who had fought in Algeria. In both cases they had been…

A sudden dramatic shift in the BBC's coverage. Why? Because everybody knows that the utter calamity engulfing Gaza is going to be impossible to hide. For the Guilty Men of the media: you all had ample warning for 21 months! You did this! Everything that now happens is on you.

That this isn't considered the greatest humanitarian emergency in the West -- but instead is still financed and armed by the West -- tells you all you need to know about what those governments' values are, and who they do and do not consider to possess inherent human worth:

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said publicly Trump has given the green light to clear Gaza of Palestinians. State Dept spokesperson Tammy Bruce is asked about his comment and bizarrely attacks the reporter:

Looking into what the Economy of Genocide may lead to, if not stopped? Voilà, straight from its masterminds. Subtitle: When depravity is only second to hubris.

Today media after all these months of justifying a genocide

INARA founder and humanitarian @IamArwaDamon makes a key point: If Israel’s goal is to prevent Hamas from profiting off aid—as it claims—then the answer isn’t to restrict it. It’s to flood Gaza with aid. Aid only holds power when it’s scarce.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Israel is Attacking Deir al-Balah, Gaza’s Last Standing City In addition to housing tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians, Deir al-Balah is also where the headquarters of several UN agencies and international NGOs are based. dropsitenews.com/p/israel-attac…

This will stain @nytimes forever. If they had any shame or decency, they would retract this and apologize.

When people start dying from starvation it comes as a flood, not a trickle. And it looks like it's already starting. crisisgroup.org/middle-east-no…

A few months ago I mentioned to a reporter that subjecting civilians to a subsistence diet can be a genocidal act according to the Rwanda Tribunal. They were perplexed so I explained that "slow death" can quickly turn into rapid mass death. I fear that's where we are.

This is one of those images you instantly know will appear in history books of the future. And people will wonder how we allowed this to happen.
