Al Jazeera reports on the Drop Site report earlier that the Trump administration realized within hours that the Rafah explosion yesterday – which Netanyahu used to justify halting all Gaza aid and resuming airstrikes – was actually caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded...

Soon after the explosion in Rafah, I’m told by a source familiar, the White House and Pentagon knew that the incident was caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordnance — contradicting Netanyahu’s claim that Hamas had popped up from tunnels.

After Netanyahu said he was blocking all aid from entering Gaza in response, and unleashed a bombing campaign, the administration conveyed to Israel that they know what happened. Netanyahu then announced he would re-open the crossings in a few hours.

Netanyahu reactivated his genocidal war on Gaza. His army conducted more than 100 air strikes since the morning and killed more than 30 Palestinian civilians.
Netanyahu also activated his collective punishment of the civilian population blocking all humanitarian aid to Gaza.

"The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty."

Wow…well this certainly feels like a moment.

Congressman Seth Moulton says he is returning AIPAC’s donations and refusing any support from them.

Moulton is running for Senate in Massachusetts against Ed Markey.

The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations.

I am returning AIPAC donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them. The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations. Below is my statement explaining why:
I'm cautiously optimistic that the recent breakthrough in Gaza will move us closer to ending the horrific violence in the region. A political resolution that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace is exactly the kind of framework I've been calling for from the beginning.
I support Israel's right to exist, but I've also never been afraid to disagree openly with AIPAC when I believe they're wrong.
In recent years, AIPAC has aligned itself too closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. I'm a friend of Israel, but not of its current government, and APAC's mission today is to back that government. I don't support that direction. That's why I've decided to return the donations l've received and will not be accepting their support.
