Since @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is doing the media round today, here she is in Nov 2023 explaining she opposed a ceasefire because Israel had the right to defend its borders. At that time Palestinians in Gaza were already telling us what Israel was doing was genocide

If you see a Palestinian today, give them a hug. You have no idea how the emotions inside us are tumbling around and around, heart feels like it's about to explode into a thousand pieces.

Ms. Rachel calls out Barack Obama's statement on Gaza, highlighting how referring to 'Israeli families' while calling Palestinians 'the people of Gaza' strips them of their humanity. 'Palestinians have families, too,' she wrote.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

Honestly, just want the ceasefire to be real so much that it's difficult to celebrate this breakthrough. Hoping and whatever the equivalent of praying is that this genocide will end.

The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas includes halting military actions, an Israeli withdrawal, increased humanitarian aid, and a prisoner swap. But it doesn't guarantee an end to the war or that Israel won't resume the genocide later.

As well as talking about nutrition & healthcare, Elder points out that education in Gaza has been under attack & he asks, why has Israel been denying education as part of a humanitarian response?
