These new images of the total obliteration of whole areas in Gaza are beyond words. You can see why Israel has prevented international journalists entering Gaza to report on these indefensible scenes.

🇮🇱 Israel confiscates baby formula from foreign doctors at Gaza checkpoints

British surgeon Nick Maynard explains - Never seen anything like it.

'No formula was allowed in. Every carton was seized'

ALEX DE WAAL: So, let me say that I've been working on this field of famine, food crisis and humanitarian action for more than 40 years, and there is no case, over those four decades, of such minutely engineered, closely monitored, precisely designed mass starvation of a population as is happening in Gaza today.

Few if any experts know more about the deliberate use of starvation as a war crime than Alex de Waal. If he says it's happening, it's so.

This Is The Beginning of The End of The 9/11 Era Capital and nativism will fight even harder against Zohran Mamdani now. But in capital's seat of power, socialism defeated barbarism. I fucking love New York

Socialism, tonight, defeated barbarism. After the two-decade midnight of 9/11, dawn is breaking.

Mostly living in cities, towns, and villages within Israel’s internationally recognised borders, many Palestinian citizens of Israel found themselves excluded from life-saving infrastructure during the worst nights of the Iran-Israel conflict to date. For Samar al-Rashed, a 29-year-old single mother living in a mostly Jewish apartment complex near Acre, the reality of that exclusion came on Friday night. Samar was at home with her five-year-old daughter, Jihan. As sirens pierced the air, warning of incoming missiles, she grabbed her daughter and rushed for the building’s shelter. “I didn’t have time to pack anything,” she recalled. “Just water, our phones, and my daughter’s hand in mine.” The panicking mother tried to ease her daughter’s fear, while hiding her own, gently encouraging her in soft-spoken Arabic to keep up with her rushed steps towards the shelter, as other neighbours climbed down the stairs, too. But at the shelter door, she said, an Israeli resident, having heard her speak Arabic, blocked their entry – and shut it in their faces. “I was stunned,” she said. “I speak Hebrew fluently. I tried to explain. But he looked at me with contempt and just said, ‘Not for you.’”

"Not for you."

Palestinian citizens of Israel--21% of the population--are being excluded from bomb shelters on the basis of their ethnicity.

This is the society the West will defend at all costs.

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office

“the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied”

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article) A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

The fact that deaths resulting from the shuttering of USAID will likely number in the millions should be a much bigger story than it is. It’s one of the most malevolent actions by a government since the end of World War II and should be treated as such.

We plan to continue covering USAID, the State Department, and the consequences of ending U.S. foreign aid.

One way for news outlets to respond would be an immediate TV ban on airtime for all administration officials.

Netanyahu says that no Palestinian will govern Gaza, adding he’s committed to Trump’s plan for “the creation of a different Gaza“. He has just added another chapter in the ICC's indictment on war crimes and genocide.

As a South African, I’d like to point out that Trump’s executive order against us is based on utter garbage.

Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni and a Smear Campaign After ‘It Ends With Us’ Private messages detail an alleged campaign to tarnish Blake Lively after she accused Justin Baldoni of misconduct on the set of “It Ends With Us.”

Struggling to find the words for just how disturbing this is.

But suffice it to say that at one point, even Baldoni’s own publicist essentially says “thank goodness people hate women.” nyti.ms/3DoqZSq
