"My country is facing a war, and we are facing that hate here," the child's mother said. "My daughter is traumatized. Whenever I open the apartment door, she runs away and hides."
#UNRWA: 69% of school buildings housing displaced people in the Gaza Strip were exposed to Israeli bombardment or were directly damaged.
This is a new low in any war in recent history.
Any other country would have been subject to countless sanctions, global condemnations and even blockades, but not Israel.
"It's not plausible that the shooter could not have seen that the car was occupied by civilians, including children," an investigation of the five-year-old #Palestinian girl's death found.
While the world has moved on Israel keep committing war crime in Gaza: "Women and children were burned and body parts were everywhere." A young man talked about the brutal details of the massacre of Mawasi neighborhood in #Rafah by the #IDF today.
Remember the BS lies of #US propaganda about #Biden warning #Netanyahu about attacking Rafah?
Netanyahu has once again showed who is the boss and slaughtering the besieged and defenceless Palestinians.
You don't hear him or his criminal spokespersons saying anything about the horrors of #Rafah and and the imposed starvation of half a million #Palestinians, most of them women and children.
Gaza protest t-shirt - I came up with the design, and a vendor of Etsy produces and sells it. Still for sale on Etsy - see link below. (Full disclosure - I get no material benefit from sales, only the vendor does.)
Asking for feedback
The phrase "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free" has caused a lot of confusion - some of it genuine and some caused by willful manipulation.
I'm trying to come up with a graphic that can get across what most of those supporting Palestinian freedom mean by it - not expulsion of Jews but freedom and equality for all living there.
Below is a graphic that might end up on a t-shirt.

WP whitewash Netanyahu again: #Netanyahu dissolves war cabinet but plans to keep far right sidelined
🔶️ #BenGvir and #Smotrich’s continued influence, even from outside the war cabinet, was partly the reason for the resignation of war cabinet members Benny #Gantz and Gadi #Eisenkot last week. The two centrists said they joined the cabinet to ensure the war was conducted responsibly, but have since concluded they couldn’t work with Netanyahu as long as he refused to commit to a day-after strategy for Gaza.
🔶️ The departure came after a string of military leaders made rare public statements airing their grievances with Netanyahu’s handling of the war in Gaza, with many saying that Israel cannot afford to continue it indefinitely, especially with tensions escalating on the Lebanese border.
🔶️ Brig. Gen. Efraim Sneh, a former deputy minister of defense, said that Israel has achieved its military objectives of degrading the majority of Hamas capabilities and can afford to declare an end to the war in Gaza, get back the hostages, and redirect its focus to distancing #Hezbollah forces from its northern border.
🔶️ “Israel is in an unacceptable situation, in which a big part of the country has been deserted,” he said. He added that, while “Israel’s forces are stretched thin between Gaza and the Lebanese border,” Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners are exacerbating the situation by blocking hundreds of thousands of Palestinian day laborers from entering Israel and enacting punitive measures against the #WestBank-based Palestinian Authority.
🔶️ The #IDF is moving closer to a larger war with Hezbollah, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, a spokesman for the Israeli military, said in a video message Sunday. Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has intensified in recent weeks at the Lebanese border. “Hezbollah’s increasing aggression is bringing us to the brink of what could be a wider escalation — one that could have devastating consequences for Lebanon and the entire region,” Hagari said. After an Israeli strike killed a Hezbollah commander last week, a Hezbollah official said the militant group would retaliate with increased operations “in intensity, strength, quantity and quality.”
