Israel says it will open the Rafah crossing so people inside Gaza can leave. Why won't Israel allow Palestinians who've already left to use the crossing to return? Why won't Israel allow humanitarian agencies to use the crossing to bring aid into Gaza?

The day after Donald Trump announced his plan for a ceasefire, Israel struck more homes in Gaza City, reportedly killing dozens, including a three-month-old baby. In a new essay, @mosababutoha.bsky.social shares what’s happening to people he knows in Gaza.
There is No Peace in Gaza
Since President Trump announced his plan for a ceasefire, people I know have continued to be killed. One described torture during a year in Israeli custody.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Professional criticism is not the same as individual reviews. They can both be useful but criticism is a skill-based genre like any other writing. The yelpification of criticism isn’t evolution.
Life changes. Organisms/organizations need to adapt. I'm sure people go to crowdsourced info for reviews, like Goodreads, just like Yelp and others for restaurant reviews.
