In the last 24 hours alone the US-backed Israeli military committed 6 massacres and killed 150 Palestinians, mostly children & minors.
& 20 were just killed in the last hours.
Art in empire is knowing how to stitch your mouth open for a prize to enter for an editor of a house of record to keep you periodical
Israel’s #Rafah evacuation order is a declaration to attack the 600K children & their families, to attack the remaining infrastructure sustaining life & possibility of a future. Racist-colonial logic makes this a “policy debate” rather than a siren warning of genocidal massacres.
Breaking: The Israeli army is starting to blow up complete neighborhoods in east Rafah, just four hours after ordering families to evacuate the area. Again, about 200,000 people live in east Rafah. Every house that is blown up makes dozens of families homeless more than ever.
If you are not prepared to carry your own children and aging parents and everything you still own through rubble and unexplored ordinance for hours so that Israelis can feel “secure,” why should 100,000+ Palestinians?

This evacuation order would force Palestinians to walk around 1.5 to 4+ hours from the closest and farthest points east of Rafah (red) to north of Khan Younis (yellow). Along their path is total devastation, confirmed and unknown mass graves, and potential unexploded ordinances.

For the past couple of weeks Rafah has been subjected to endless airstrikes. Today Israeli forces are forcing to people to evacuate parts of Rafah. Where will all these of people go?
My family in Rafah are receiving threatening phone calls to evacuate. They already evacuated nine times and they live in a tent!
The Israeli military just told 100,000 people in Rafah to evacuate so they can begin to flatten their homes, which you must agree is a highly nuanced situation.
The UN is extremely cautious about declaring famine. Places where lots of people are dying of hunger are routinely characterized as “on the brink” of famine for ages. So when they say w/out hesitation that “there is famine, full-blown famine” in Gaza, it means it’s very, very bad
Some developments today re Gaza. 1. Turkey, one of Israel’s biggest trade partners, announced ban on imports/exports with Israel until Israel agrees to a permanent ceasefire and allows entry of significant humanitarian aid (Hamas’ Haniyeh just ended a 2 week trip to Turkey)
Ha ha, The Atlantic takes a hard look around and decides that the “authoritarian spirit” resides in writers disgusted by an ongoing genocide.
Sorry but the whole premise that all those cops are out there working hard To Protect Jews is so goofy I don’t know how anyone is falling for it.
So frustrated w gaslighting that this is about Jewish safety & not protection of imperial war, access to resources in Middle East, & profit for weapons manufacturers. In what universe do the police protect a racialized minority? It’s not true now or ever. #Gaza #StudentIntifada
The repression is awful and entirely predictable but man it does my broken heart good to see so many brave kids standing up. For so many years it was loooonely out there…

Sometimes it’s really like, do you not understand that you were born into relative safety only by random chance??
From WMDs in Iraq to the atrocity propaganda of Screams Without Words, the NYT has undermined any notion of consensus reality and thus opened the door to the very right-wing disinfo that they claim to be so alarmed by. All in the service of empire. And they get a Pulitzer for it.
@DanielDenvir It is literally like every day, the American political elite hits a new low. Every. damn. day.
I simply cannot recall a time where I felt such collective disillusionment from the rot in almost every institution that exists.
What is happening in Gaza, and in Palestine more generally, far transcends the determination of one politician to cling to power. END

To be fair, many, many Jews recognized this fact well before the Holocaust. They knew that embracing the tool of the European nation-state for themselves was no way out of oppression for anyone. This is the long and proud tradition of Jewish anti-Zionism. leftvoice.org/a-brief-histor…

Grateful for those writers (mostly people of color) who spoke out against this genocide loudly for the last 7 months (no matter how many awards or publications were taken from them). They did not betray their humanity and fellow humans in Gaza.
Once I catch my breath about the suffering and death in Gaza, I will find time to grieve the way so many writers I once admired have utterly disappointed me with their elitism and cruelty.
Between Zadie Smith and Ocean Vuong, can we kill the idea of the writer as a sage observer dislocated from actual struggle? Can we dead the notion of the witness whose 'objectivity' is derived from non-participation? Struggle in our midst or just be silent, please.
As you can probably tell by my face here, I actually do think there is such a thing as a stupid question.
Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi absolutely schooling Fox News.
After Hamas announces it has accepted the ceasefire proposal, Israeli tanks cross the boundary and begin invading Rafah. Excited to see how my industry spins this as Hamas rejecting a ceasefire.
Hasn’t Hamas already agreed to the terms of the ceasefire that Israel now claims to be using a Rafah invasion and untold human misery as leverage to secure? I’m losing my mind
BREAKING: Israeli prime minister's office: The War Cabinet unanimously decided that Israel continues the operation in Rafah to exert military pressure on Hamas in order to promote the release of our hostages and the other goals of the war
Pulitzer just lost any credibility it ever had.
