“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Let’s call it what it is: ▪️ Gaza is being genocided — by Israel. ▪️ The U.S. and its allies are enabling it. ▪️ Every major Western leader is complicit. ▪️ The media has sanitized the horror. ▪️ No spin can excuse this.
.@WSJ has given Yaser Abu-Shabab, Israel-backed criminal gang head, a voice to write his opinion. I will lose my mind. This is an unprecedented dark time of media in history. It’s the darkest.
“Why use airdrops when you can drive hundreds of trucks through the borders?,” UNRWA @JulietteTouma tells @nytimes. “It’s much easier, more effective, faster, cheaper.” Airdrops will not reverse the deepening starvation in #Gaza. At UNRWA, we have the equivalent of 6,000 trucks…
Israel is “easing” restrictions on aid that they said they weren’t restricting… Remember the Gaza pier? The airdrops? The stories of opening more crossings? A new aid plan? This is just another PR stunt. Israel is starving Gaza and committing genocide, that’s still the story.
Horrifying report of the long-term environmental damage done by Israeli genocidaires in Gaza: Nearly all trees destroyed; All coastal waters polluted; Debris with asbestos and other pollutants everywhere; Pollutants leeching into groundwater sources. bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-…
As a student protester who went viral for getting arrested at the Columbia encampment, I am seeing posts saying that we were right—and I don’t want to hear it. The only thing I want to see is everyone mobilizing in the streets right now. We do not have the privilege of despair.🧵
BREAKING: Axios’ Barak Ravid reports that the Israeli military will implement “humanitarian pauses” in certain areas of its attacks on Gaza’s population Sunday to allow UN aid trucks in—a clear admission that Israel had been blocking their movement for 21 weeks.
🚨🚨🚨The IDF is going to implement humanitarian pauses in the fighting in several population centers in Gaza starting Sunday morning and until Sunday evening to allow the UN and other aid organizations safe access for the delivery of aid, Israeli official tells me
Video after video shows Israelis are going out in droves; with their children, and blocking aid trucks. Meanwhile their government is lying to the world about why the aid isn’t coming in, blaming the UN and others.

After decades of subscribing to the New York Times, this article was the proverbial last straw that made me cancel our subscription.
Israel bombed a school in Gaza City sheltering displaced families during Friday prayers with a US-made Hellfire missile Read article below with tireless reporting by @AbdSabbah91
🚨NEW from @DropSiteNews: Israel Bombs Gaza School With U.S.-Made Missile During Friday Prayers The strike killed at least 5 people and wounded 22, including several children. Story by @AbdSabbah91 and @sharifkouddous dropsitenews.com/p/israel-bombs…
How @nytimes describes Israel shooting and killing hundreds of starved Palestinian civilians waiting for food. “Crude form of crowd control”
Every editor who canceled a story about Palestine brought us here. Every boss who censored an employee. Everyone who said “not this way” to protesters. Every university admin calling the cops. Bloody. All your hands are bloody, and we will never forget.
🟠 BREAKING: As Famine Spreads, Israel Destroys Supplies from 1,000 Aid Trucks It Refused to Let Into Gaza Kan News, Israel’s public broadcaster, spoke with Israeli military officials who admitted they destroyed food, water, and medical supplies from more than 1,000 aid trucks…
According to Kan, the army has destroyed a massive amount of spoilt aid: The vast amount of aid, estimated at more than a 1000 trucks, included food, medical equipment and bottled water. "We buried everything in the ground, even burned some it," said an army source. "Even today,…
Israel: We are banning UNRWA, expelling UN officials, restricting UN staff travel, killing more than 200 UN staff, ordering the evacuation of UN HQ in Deir-al-Bala, firing at UN trucks Also Israel: Why is the UN starving Gaza? NYT: This shows how complex a dilemma it is
The last time the WFP tried to deliver aid, on July 20, the IDF opened fire on aid seekers who swarmed the trucks, killing many. On July 21, they paused deliveries so as not to get more people killed by the IDF. We all watched Israel lead a global campaign to shut down UNRWA…
THREAD: Are you seeing what we’re seeing? Israel is starving everyone in Gaza. Deliberately. That’s a population of over 2 million people, nearly half of whom are children, forced to go without enough food and water for months on end. #StopStarvingGaza
