When they were murdering journalists in Gaza, they claimed they were Hamas. Now they’re murdering journalists in Lebanon, they’re claiming they are Hezbollah.
Before anyone asks where I was on 25 September I have a rock solid alibi, I was at work in a museum of stolen objects oh no wait
Dan Hicks@profdanhicks.bsky.social · 9mo agoSorry to read about these thefts from the colonial collections of Bristol Museum, wishing for a speedy recovery And some still claim objects are safer in the warehouses of European museums rather than with the communities from whom they were originally stolen 🙃 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Solidarity with the 250+ staff who've rightly pointed out in their letter that it's actions like this that actually politicize the museum, and distract from the proper work of curation, care and public service Full TAN article here >> www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/06/02/b...

For me, I will remember Francis as the Pope who called the Holy Family Church in Gaza every day as the city, and even the church itself, was bombed by Israel.
Can’t recall ever weeping over the death of a world leader—not out of indifference, just distance. But waking up to the news of Pope Francis passing, I wept. He left this world when his moral clarity & courage are needed most. Thank your holiness for renewing my faith. You'll be sorely missed.🕊️
I shall never forget his visit to my Iraq. For three days it felt like things were OK! I keep remembering his visit and the time it snowed in Baghdad at random times as a therapy practice😭💔

More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip, the enclave’s Health Ministry said Sunday — a grim indicator of the conflict’s continued lethality less than a week since Israel shattered a nearly two-month-old ceasefire.
Gaza death toll passes 50,000 in Israel’s war with Hamas, Health Ministry says
Gaza’s Health Ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. Experts say the official death toll is probably an undercount.
washingtonpost.com
Even those who may be too young to remember a war whose death toll has horrified the world will live their days in its shadow after it eventually ends. Powerful images.
Out of Gaza
We photographed badly wounded Gazans who made it out for treatment. Many can think of little but the dead they left behind. “We wanted to go with them, too,” one child told us.

Exclusive: As Gaza’s hunger crisis worsens, organized gangs are stealing much of the aid Israel allows into the enclave. An internal U.N. memo obtained by The Post concluded that the gangs “may be benefiting from a passive if not active benevolence” or “protection” from the Israel Defense Forces.

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated. Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵
Philip Gourevitch@pgourevitch.bsky.social · 2y agoMore than 61,000 dead in Khartoum state alone, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's Sudan Research Group finds: 26,000 of them killed as a direct result of the violence.
