BREAKING: Israel has killed more civilians in Gaza by proportion than in all world conflicts in the 20th century.
61% of airstrike deaths in Gaza are civilian, finds Israel's leading newspaper Haaretz.
Israel doesn’t just target civilians, they lead the world in killing them

The US veto stands in contrast to the values it professes to uphold.
By continuing to provide diplomatic cover for the atrocities in Gaza, the US is signaling that international humanitarian law can be applied selectively - that the lives of some people matter less than others.

Watch what the US ambassador to the UN does when the Palestinian envoy starts speaking. Really says it all.
This was an assassination.
Israel killed Prof. Refaat al-Areer, one of Gaza's most prominent writers, poets & activists who spent his life trying to get Gaza's voice to the outside world.
He was killed in a targeted airstrike on his sister's home that also killed his brother, sister & her 4 kids...

“Lives found ended” is not a phrase in English. This is the first time it has ever been used. The daily coining of new euphemisms. The shame of it.
It’s ethnic cleansing and we’re all gonna build memorials to it when we’re old but all our leaders are complicit and thus, so are we.
Today, @WHO received notification from the Israel Defense Forces that we should remove our supplies from our medical warehouse in southern Gaza within 24 hours, as ground operations will put it beyond use.
We appeal to #Israel to withdraw the order, and take every possible measure to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and humanitarian facilities.

Israel blows up Gaza's "Palace of Justice" compound which housed the Palestinian Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the Court of First Instance & the Magistrate.
100,000s of vital case documents are gone.
Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure is a War Crime!

I will never forget how there was more of an international outrage about 40 fake babies than +7,000 real ones.

The-command-center-under-the-hospital story just went away. No accountability and no questions by Western media. Do you know how many innocent civilians were slaughtered under that pretext?

Israel's Ambassador to the EU admits they have NO evidence Hamas benefits from Western aid to the Palestinians (Oct 19, 2023).
The "aid diversion" canard has always been a fig leaf to divert attention from Israel's policy of besieging, starving & impoverishing Gaza for 17 years!

Israeli accounts published a video of Israeli flags planted on top of rubbles in an ethnically cleansed area in #Gaza.

Today, I learned that the poet @mosababutoha has been taken from his family and detained in Gaza. He is reportedly in @IDF custody.
I've had the privilege of editing Mosab for @newyorker. He has a wife and three kids.
I call for his immediate release. newyorker.com/news/essay/the…
Call it what it was. An assassination. And a clear war crime. Because they know they are morally wrong, they just know the West will protect them.
It’s disgusting and inhumane in such a primitive way. It’s so pathetic to see we’re still just tribal animals.

Israel has NOT yet shown ANY evidence of:
Hamas HQ & Command & Control Centres at al-Shifa hospital.
Militants using the hospital (or alleged tunnels) to hide, launch attacks, or engage in hostilities.
Hostages being KEPT inside the hospital (not just brought in for treatment)
Zionists = Nazis
🚨WATCH: Israeli children sing, "We will annihilate everyone" in Gaza, against a background of destruction.
Disturbing video was posted, then deleted by Israeli national broadcaster @kann_news.
We captured it and added English subtitles

51 dead journalists.
Israel is indiscriminately killing everything that moves. And my country is paying for it.
