Israel kills innocent Palestinians. Activists spray-paint a plane. Guess which the UK government calls terrorism | Sally Rooney theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Read this account by a British surgeon of treating a woman in Gaza shot by a quadcopter while breastfeeding her child in a tent and then try to imagine the general mentality of the person piloting the drone who hunted her down and then pulled the trigger.

The Israelis are holding trucks full of food outside while a whole population starves. And they're doing it thanks to the unified support of every element in mainstream American politics.

“The limited stock of intravenous fluids in our hospitals is no longer sufficient to treat the waves of starving individuals”

An understated aspect of lsrael’s genocide is that they constantly assassinate specific people they know will have an impact in Gaza. From journalists, to doctors, to chefs, to child entertainers… no one is safe from this monstrous regime.

Killed fetching water. Killed in tents. Killed sheltering in hospitals. Killed queuing for aid. Killed in their homes. For Israel, the biggest crime Palestinians have committed is simply existing.

Funny how none of the rightwing accounts in the US, including Musk’s, who were screaming about the lack of free speech in the UK a few months ago when people were being imprisoned for inciting riots, have nothing to say about this:

This morning Israel killed Dr. Mousa Hamdan Khafaja, a renowned consultant in obstetrics and gynecology. His tent was bombed in a 'safe zone' and he was killed along with his three children. Israel has killed over 1580 medical staff since October the 7th. In other news the…

“I think you hit one.” “Hell yeah, boy.”

Just one of the 100 victims, a child killed in her mother’s arms. Her mother dressed her, put her frilly socks on, fastened her tiny trainers, styled her hair and then was killed alongside her at a cafe.

a lovely shout out for 'Fun and Games' as one of the best novels this year in the Irish Examiner 🌞🕶️ irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/arts…

Hannah, a paediatric nurse: "A lady.. 30 wks pregnant, she came in after being in an explosion in her tent, & shrapnel.. cut through the unborn baby.. the baby had been cut through its abdomen & legs & did not survive" UK politicians & media: death to the IDF is hate speech

Israel has created the largest cohort of child amputees in modern history. That sentence alone tells you everything you need to know about their brutality.

Fun and Games by @johnpamchugh is a brilliant hit of nostalgic bildungsroman Grab your copy from @blackwellbooks A feel good hit for Summer 2025

Israel has ‘disappeared’ nearly 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza since 2023. Half of them are children. Buried beneath rubble. Dumped in mass graves. Erased. Harvard has now confirmed what we’ve been screaming into a deaf world: This is a holocaust — and it’s still happening.

The Israeli military has blocked baby formula from entering Gaza since the beginning of March as part of its ongoing siege. Baby formula.

BREAKING: analysis of Israel’s own data "shows it murdered 377,000 Palestinians during genocide so far – half of them kids"
