"We live in constant fear that this is the life we will keep living ... the rest of our days, a life that does not know stability, with no clear future for our children and no relief for our youth."
It was supposed to be a calm day in Gaza, with the ceasefire in effect. Then, a thunderous sound shattered the silence. The targeted homes belonged to the Abu Shawish family—my family, writes Ahmad Abushawish.
“What meaning does a ceasefire hold when one side continues to violate it?”

<div class="field field-field-text"><p data-end="313" data-start="121">Severe winter weather in Gaza has killed at least 25 people since the start of December, including six children, as powerful low-pressure systems batter the besieged enclave.</p>
<p data-end="499" data-start="315">Civil defence and rescue teams report that Gaza had not experienced such intense weather before December, with successive depressions bringing heavy rain, strong winds and biting cold.</p>
<p data-end="768" data-start="501">They say the storms triggered the complete collapse of 18 residential buildings that Israeli bombardment had previously damaged. More than 110 other homes suffered “serious” partial collapses, leaving thousands of people living inside or nearby at immediate risk.</p>
<p data-end="982" data-start="770">The impact on displaced families has been devastating. Officials say around 90 percent of tents used as temporary shelters were torn apart or flooded across the Strip, forcing thousands of families into the open.</p>
<p data-end="1145" data-is-last-node data-is-only-node data-start="984">Many lost what little they had left, including “clothes, blankets and mattresses”, deepening an already dire humanitarian crisis as winter conditions worsen.</p>

"Behind the hyperbole lies a more concrete agenda: the administration's efforts to define antifa as an international conspiracy, so that American antifascist groups and activists can be declared part of a 'foreign terrorist organization' ... unleash[ing] a limitless repressive arsenal."
"While Trump’s threats to name protesters as domestic terrorists are legally dubious, the FTO designation carries enormous discretionary powers, especially when it comes to allegations of material & financial support."
