“I wish I could [...] escape this genocidal reality to somewhere I could & and not just exist, somewhere I could chase dreams & not be haunted by nightmares, somewhere I could get food or water without fearing death. Somewhere I can [...] be free.”
The second year of genocide was different
Israel got creative with new methods of mass torture and murder, giving us a choice of how we die.

NEW: David Adler—a Jewish American on the Gaza aid Flotilla—details Israeli detention.

At one point, he says, he was forced to his knees for a photo op with the Israeli flag, as Ben Gvir yelled in his face, calling him a terrorist.

Says US "hung up" on families of Americans, veterans seeking help.

Nor could Fletcher bother caring about the illegal kidnapping of Americans in international waters and their illegal detention and mistreatment in Israeli prisons. Fletcher works for Israel, not us.

Doesn’t bother to mourn or even acknowledge the nearly 70,000 confirmed Palestinians, at least
83% of whom are civilians according to IOFs own data.
Fletcher is a genocide denier.

Two years ago, nearly 1,200 people died in Hamas' attack on Israel. Today, I join our community and the world in mourning and honoring the innocent lives lost, in calling for the safe return of the more than 45 remaining hostages, and in urging peace in the region.

Turkish journalist and Global Sumud Flotilla activist Ersin Celik says “The Israelis tormented Greta Thunberg badly, dragged her on the ground... She’s still a little kid. They made her suffer; they forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. Whatever the Nazis did, they did the same.”

We haven’t seen the text of this yet, but to be clear, the president has literally zero legal authority to impose a $100,000 fee on visas. None. Zip. Zilch.

The only authority Congress has ever given the executive branch here is to charge fees to recover the cost of processing the application.

“Those who carried out October 7 had something in their mind that said these families, these women and children that were are going to slaughter in cold blood are less than us.”

Everything wrong with the Democratic Party in a nutshell.

95 House Democrats (including Jeffries!) just voted to honor the life & legacy of Charlie Kirk.

Only 58 voted no.

38 voted present.

2. Violation of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Principles

Under the Geneva Conventions civilians can’t be forced to evacuate unless absolutely necessary, and any evacuation must ensure effective warning, safe passage, and time to leave safely, & telling civilians where it is safe to go.

3. Collective Punishment

Mass evacuation causing widespread displacement, suffering, restricted access to basic necessities, whatever is left of it anyway, or destruction of civilian infrastructure, amounts to collective punishment, which is prohibited under the Fourth Geneva Convention.

My timeline is full of desperate, starved, traumatized Palestinians receiving this ethnic cleansing order but with nowhere to go. Shame on all of us.

Israel’s athleticide in Gaza is a deliberate attempt to erase a culture. It is an essential part of the larger genocidal project.
