Palestinians are being starved, there are thousands of tonnes of food Kms away being blocked by occupation forces. It is an act of deliberate genocide.

Whatever we think of the pope, he opposed the genocide and was vocal about it, even in his final message, which is more than most other western leaders have done.

THREAD: Israel targeted a journalist we work with in an airstrike and claimed he was a Hamas fighter.

This is why you should never believe anything Israel says. 🧡

Why do you say 'hamas run health ministry' but you don't say 'US backed Israeli air force' or 'indicted war criminal'?

I am utterly convinced the US crash and decline began with Biden and his unlimited military and political support for the genocide, everything follows from that, Trump is the natural sequel that cruelty and the current outright insanity is the natural conclusion.

Al Jazeera strongly condemns the assassination of its correspondent in Gaza Hossam Shabat.

massively depressing that the big scandal is that the shithead guy from the atlantic got texted accidentally and not the part where they're raining more death on yemen

Israel is assassinating journalists in Gaza β€” and Western media’s silence enables it.

On March 24, Israel killed two more reporters: Hossam Shabat and Mohammad Mansour.

This isn’t β€œcrossfire.” This is a kill list. 🧡

130 children murdered in one night, 1,000 civilians in 48 hours, a continuity between Biden and Trump in the extermination of Palestine.

🚨BREAKING | At least six babies have died from the cold in Gaza as Israel continues to block critical aid, including the 60,000 mobile homes and 200,000 tents promised under the ceasefire deal.

A reminder that #gaza was already a refugee camp made up of victims of the Nakba ethnic cleansing campaign, who is to say that if Palestinians move to another giant refugee camp Israel won't come after them in 50 years, if they wish for further expansion.

He supplied the vast vast majority of weapons,and political cover in the UN. He could have stopped sending weapons at any point.

Biden supplied every bomb that was dropped on a hospital or tent, there are no 'good guys' in the US in this. The US is the political and military force backing the entire genocide.

The genocide continued till the very last minute of Biden's presidency. Take that as you will, you cannot however deny that he supplied the weapons right the way through, he could have stopped supplying them at any point, he didn't, it's his genocide.

All of us at Drop Site News are deeply saddened by the loss of Ahlam Al Nafed, a nurse who spent the last 15 months fearlessly documenting the horrors in northern Gaza. Ahlam was a trusted source, providing detailed reporting, video, and information to Drop Site News and others.
