Shenanigans. AJ+. Let’s see how long this lasts.

Edan Alexander being released: He's an American from New Jersey who left the US to join the Israeli army. He was captured from an army base near Gaza. He should never have been there & serious questions should be asked of those in his life who encouraged him to join the apartheid regime's military.

Netanyahu claims Israel breaking the ceasefire, imposing a starvation siege & killing 2500 people is why Hamas will release Edan Alexander. Hamas had said it would release him right before the ceasefire was broken. He would've been home 2 months ago if it weren't for Netanyahu.

Israeli settlers in civilian vehicles stormed the town of Sa’ir, north of Hebron, firing indiscriminately and causing civilians—including children—to flee in panic.

Did not expect to see this headline from The Guardian. It’s good to finally be getting clarity in the language around Gaza. “UK’s F-35 exports more important than stopping genocide, lawyers to argue”

Yahya Sobeih's last post this morning: a picture with his daughter, born earlier today. A few hours later, he was killed in an Israeli airstrike with at least 28 other people in Gaza City. Pictures show parents and children among the dead as people had gathered to find a wifi connection & buy food.

Since launch, @dropsitenews.com has had some of the best English-language coverage of the Gaza genocide. They use journalists on the ground and give credence to local sources & political actors-which should be standard for all media but clearly isn't. Happy to have joined their livestream this week.

Israel's prison service put out the image on the left today, of Palestinian prisoners in an Israeli torture camp under a large picture of Gaza's destruction. The guy who runs these camps was in Mar A Lago today, to call for bombing...food (see his own post) in Gaza.

10 people burned to death tonight, after an Israeli airstrike, on a tent, in the “humanitarian zone”. Somehow, 18 months in, the apartheid regime still finds a way to shock you with its depravity.

Very few people talk about hiding Palestinians and allies and other targeted groups facing this fascist regime’s kidnappings and trains to concentration camps. What does that conversation look like and when does it begin in earnest.

Hamas claims it has lost contact with an Israeli-American soldier in its custody, Edan Alexander, after a recent Israeli airstrike. Hamas had agreed to release him early after direct talks between it & the Trump administration. Days later, Israel broke the ceasefire.

From Avi Shlaim's 2024 book Genocide in Gaza: Israel's Long War On Palestine "Those "Gazan monsters" who do not flee abroad, she clarified, should "die horribly" at the hands of "a vengeful and cruel IDF. Anything less than that is immoral"."

Feeling helpless about Palestine? Start by confronting the self-censorship that silences you. That fear is the goal of a decades-long propaganda campaign—and as long as it works, it wins. You don’t have to let it. And you don’t have to compromise your personal beliefs or ethics to speak up.
