The other journalists killed: reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, videographers Moamen Aliwa and Ibrahim Zaher and operator Mohammed Noufal.
The Israeli murder of Palestinian journalists is always intentional, always met with silence. And that's why it keeps happening. don't look away

Stop supporting genocide! As a Californian, it sickens me that both you and Sen. Padilla have voted to keep the arms flowing to baby-killers. You're supposed to represent the people of California, not Israel's war machine.

Sanders's first resolution -- SJ Res 41 -- would have blocked the sale of tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles to the Israeli government.

It failed 27 to 70.

Thank you to these 27 who voted YES.

Israelis Are Starting to Talk About Famine in Gaza After nearly two years of war, the public rhetoric has suddenly shifted. Will it lead to real changes on the ground?

Since the early days of the war, the Israeli media has maintained that there is no hunger crisis in Gaza. Now that rhetoric has suddenly shifted. Will it lead to real changes on the ground?

A sad moment for the Senate and the country.

Republicans just confirmed Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Yes, the same Judge Jeanine that even Fox News said was โ€œcrazyโ€ and had to take off the air.

How can they vote to confirm these people?

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in โ€œsweeps.โ€

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Elsewhere in the interview, Dr Maynard claimed Israeli soldiers are shooting civilians at aid points "almost like a game of target practice".

The IDF said it "categorically rejected" claims of "intentional harm to civilians, particularly in the manner described".

Dr Maynard claimed he has operated on boys as young as 11 who had been "shot at food distribution points" run by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

"They had gone to get food for their starving families and they were shot," he said.

"I operated on one 12-year-old boy who died on the operating table because his injuries were so severe."

A British surgeon returned from Gaza says Israeli soldiers were shooting at aid-seekers โ€œalmost like a game of target practice".

He also said formula doctors had packed to bring with them was the only item confiscated by Israeli authorities before entry.

For decades, the beauty products marketed to Black women & girls have contained toxic, unregulated chemicals โ€“ leaving us to disproportionately suffer from increased incidences of cancer, respiratory issues, & adverse reproductive outcomes.
