The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.forward.com/opinion/757549…
The BBC leadership has completely and utterly lost the plot. Questioning a child about his parents’ political affiliation before interviewing him as he lives through forced starvation? Has this ever happened before? Is any other child subject to this “test” other than a…
“It’s our policy to ask, do you or your parents have affiliation to Hamas?” That’s the question the @BBCWorld producers asked for a 17-year -old child from Gaza before inviting him for an interview. Imagine asking a starving child living a genocide this. I am wondering,…
Bombshell report: The IDF admitted it destroyed and buried the contents of 1,000(!) aid trucks—because the supplies expired while Israel delayed and mishandled distribution. In case anyone telling you it's the UN's fault.
Airdrops are very expensive (money spent on flights instead of food), volumes are too small, distribution is impossible as hungry crowds rush to get something, aid can’t be distributed fairly, people get killed. This is more distraction and deflection: it allows Israel to…
Israel will now allow Arab countries to resume the airdrops of food into Gaza. This is a step that hasn't happened for many months. It happened last year when the humanitarian situation was extremely dire. At the same time Israeli officials continue to claim there is no…
Don’t let those who supported, funded and enabled this genocide in Gaza to now hide behind their newfound “courage” in “speaking out.” International organisations have been warning of a life hunger, and then famine, for over a year. Where were you then? We won’t forget.
Last week you proudly posed with Netanyahu, the war criminal responsible for Israel’s policy of starvation and slaughter.
I just finished recording a fascinating, two-hour conversation with @OAjjoub on Syria, starting from Assad family rule and the rise and transformation of Ahmed al Sharaa, to the fall of the Assad regime in Dec 2024, to the recent events in Sweida and what comes next. I also asked…
Very interesting timing from Macron on France recognising the State of Palestine. This announcement does three things: 1-Gives the July 28 Saudi-French conference on the 2SS legs, show it’s not a joke, 2-Encourages others to get on board during UNGA in September, and…
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
After 4 months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s hospitals now have wards for the malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Aid groups had warned of this for more than a year. Now a worst case scenario is upon us. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
As policymakers in the U.S. and Europe continue to avoid tangible action to stop the killings and mass forced starvation in #Gaza, here is what trauma surgeon @McmonagleMorgan, who served in Gaza, told me he has to say to them: @vonderleyen @kajakallas @DavidLammy @SecRubio
Children in Gaza are literally dying of starvation and complications from malnutrition and the EU’s stance is “if” Israel doesn’t stop, “then” we will look at options. How many more children will starve to death while you continue to avoid action, @kajakallas?
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
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…
For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent: This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.
