For 2 years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, not one Palestinian voice has been featured on NBC, ABC or CNN’s Sunday shows.

@ahjohnson.bsky.social writes about how the U.S. media has debated Palestinians’ annihilation without letting a single Palestinian speak.

"The 'Conscience' volunteers have been attacked... by Israeli forces... This is the volunteer from Tunisia.

We call on the Tunisian government and people to condemn this crime and to demand... an end to #Israel ’s illegal blockade and ongoing genocide in #Gaza."

The law was pushed by pro-israel advocacy groups (JLC, JPAC) and Democratic party lawmakers.

"Please do not cry for me because your tears cause me pain." These are the words from 10-year-old Rasha's will. Dr. Thaer Ahmad shared her heartbreaking words at the UN to expose this brutal war on children. Her final wishes must be our call to action. 📷: UNWebTV on 25/Sep/2025.

"Deported" is a very interesting way to say kidnapped, imprisoned illegally, abused, then released. 🤔

"WHO and UN agencies have reported at least 772 attacks on health care, with 94% of hospitals damaged or destroyed and more than 1500 health-care workers killed—the highest toll ever recorded." the silence is deafening.

On this week’s cover of The Lancet, a new letter: “Gaza’s healthocide: medical societies must not stay silent”.

Read the letter and more in our latest issue: tinyurl.com/5n85x448

Cover of The Lancet's Oct 4, 2025 issue. Cover quote reads: "Most medical and surgical societies worldwide have remained silent or issued vague statements about Gaza's healthocide [...] Staying silent while pretending to be neutral is, in effect, a form of complicity."

💔 This is Omar Hayek. He was a kind man, the sole provider for his family, & one who brought the highest level of professionalism to his work as an occupational therapist for @msf.ca.

This morning, Omar became our 14th colleague killed in an #Israeli attack.

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.

But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.

It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.
