It’s incredible to see Khalil home. A few months ago we could have been on the verge of much worse. I mean I wondered if donating to Gaza relief would be called material support for terror. Now these cowards and kidnappers are losing in real ways. I love it

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Keir Starmer and David Lammy must speak and condemn this interception. All humanitarian aid must be able to reach people desperately in need. The UK govt have been active participants in the genocide. The eyes of the world must be on Gaza. Release the Madleen crew.

A British surgeon currently in Gaza: "These children are so malnourished they are wasting away. Its shocking to see this degree of malnutrition..." Israel is deliberately starving over 2 million people. Half of them are children. And the UK govt is helping them while they do it.

"The worst attack [overnight] was on a school sheltering displaced families in Gaza City, which killed at least 30 people. The victims include mostly children who were burned to death"

Several Palestinians and Israeli soldiers say troops are systematically forcing Palestinians to act as human shields in Gaza, sending them into buildings and tunnels to check for bombs and gunmen. The dangerous practice has become ubiquitous during 19 months of war, they said.

israelis are more into wholesale genocide now than they were in october 2023 because it's not about momentary panic or revenge, it's just endlessly stewing in hate and convincing yourself to embrace brazen crimes against humanity tomorrow to cover the crimes your country already committed yesterday

The depravity here cannot be overstated. A recent poll found: - 82% of Israelis support forced removal of Palestinians from Gaza - 56% support forced removal of Arab Israeli citizens - 47% support IDF murdering *all* inhabitants of enemy cities they occupy www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/li...

Israel is using starvation as a weapon - not just genocide and mass murder of civilians, but torture. It is evil beyond belief, and it is evil that the world isn't rising collectively to stop this country. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
