I don't want to fully theorize this yet, but it is kind of weird that the biggest story in the US about Israel / Palestine is about college campuses when there are multiple mass graves being uncovered and constant bombardment in Gaza right now ('as we tweet').

Students are protesting this…let’s all keep the focus on the WHY …

In the W. Bank, where there is not even the excuse of Hamas, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians continues - with the blessing of Western politicians who continue to claim they want a 2-State solution - with a Palestinian state smaller than a poststamp

It’s over (for now). A majority of senators caved to the fearmongering and bush league tactics of the administration and surveillance hawks in Congress, and they sold out Americans’ civil liberties. Section 702 has been reauthorized, not just without any meaningful reforms… 1/10

Netanyahu has been reckless.

His actions have not led to the release of the remaining hostages. He's ignored their families.

He's ignored the president of the United States.

He's ignored his own people.

We should not be sending offensive weapons to Israel right now. 3/

All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza.

We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine.

I will not participate in this carnage.

When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/

Being offended or upset at the sight of Muslims praying says more about you than a group of young students.

Now leading HuffPost: My story on how an assault on Rafah—'the deadliest chapter' yet of the Gaza war—is looking more likely as Congress approves huge military $$ for Israel.

Details here on views among trapped Palestinians, security experts, aid groups:

Thank you. I don’t call it anything but Twitter… down with the billionaires!

Dr Ahmed Abdel Aziz temporarily closed his clinic in Egypt's Cairo to volunteer in the Gaza Strip.

'When I arrived, I didn't see any sign of life in Gaza,' Dr Abdel Aziz said. 'It's impossible to describe the situation. You can't imagine it unless you see it.'

Speaking to

🔴 LIVE DAY 197 #Israel #Palestine

MORNING UPDATE:

- Israeli fighter jets bombed several homes in Rafah early on Saturday, killing 10 people, including six children and women

- Air strikes and artillery shelling were also reported in Gaza City and the central Nuseirat

'Are you not concerned at all about innocent civilians being killed in Gaza?'
Paul Gosar: 'You should've thought about that before when you attacked Israel—shouldn't you?'
'I am Palestinian myself, does that mean I attacked Israel…? That doesn't make any sense.'
PG: '…it does.'

Northwestern Medill Yasmeen Altaji It was beautiful seeing my old reporting buddy CS hard at work (front page of the NYT), having him catch ME hard at work, and getting ready to celebrate his graduation from this place in a few weeks
