A doctor in Gaza describes the horror of starvation
"I remember the first time that I saw a little girl, she was eight months old, brought to me—she was sticks and bones and she was dead."
Aid groups say a “worst case for famine” is playing out in Gaza.
"The starvation, truly, is a hundred percent," says Dr. Tarek Loubani from Gaza, "I saw a little girl... she was sticks and bones and she was dead. And her father had brought her for resuscitation."

Oh look, ICE is copying literal Nazi recruiting propaganda again. The poster on the right is for the Volkssturm, the Nazi militia of older men and boys established during the final months of World War II.

Gaza and the End of History - Boston Review
The apocalyptic scale of death and destruction lays bare the contradictions at the heart of the liberal international order.
❝ Gaza has become a symbol both of Western hypocrisy and its victims’ recourse to human rights as a final forum for collective deliverance — the deliverance of the wretched of the earth, whoever and wherever they may be. The consequences cannot be overstated. ❞

18,500 children have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza.
Despite these war crimes, the US has provided more than $22 BILLION for the war.
Our taxpayer dollars are being used to starve children, bomb schools & gun down hungry people as they wait for aid.

We are deeply troubled by apparent raids in Southern California, including one involving a Penske truck filled with agents descending on day laborers today. While more investigation is needed, we have serious concerns that the federal government may be in violation of the federal judge's July TRO.

How to Prevent More Starvation Deaths in Gaza
As Israel refuses to let in sufficient humanitarian aid, a leading expert on famine explains why even “flooding the zone” with food won’t be enough.
In a new Q. & A. with Isaac Chotiner, Alex de Waal, one of the world’s leading experts on famine, discusses the Gaza hunger crisis and why returning to the old system of delivering aid is now insufficient.

FEMA Employees Reassigned to ICE
Probationary employees who had been on paid leave were told to report to ICE within seven days or lose their jobs. It could signal problems with ICE recruitment.
🚨SCOOP:
A "select" number of FEMA probationary employees have been involuntarily reassigned to ICE, effective immediately, to "assist with hiring and vetting." If the employees don't report to ICE within seven days, they are threatened with termination.

What's happening in Gaza is a genocide committed by Israel.
Trust the evidence of your eyes. We've all been witnesses to the atrocities over the past year and a half.
Trust the evidence of your ears and listen to Israel's leadership—their own words.
Demand your elected officials condemn it.

German hesitation on Gaza could encourage atrocities, Israeli academics say
More than 100 Israeli academics have warned in a letter that a failure by Germany to put pressure on Israel could lead to new atrocities in Gaza.

Israel does. Its deliberately starving them. And they can only do that because the US allows them too.
