Getting international troops into Gaza as soon as possible is the only thing that *may* provide security for Palestinians in Gaza from Israel soon resuming attacks and later relaunching a genocidal onslaught.

This hateful antisemitic vandalism in Minneapolis is alarming and unacceptable.

Targeting synagogues with anti-Zionist/anti-Israel slogans isn’t political activism — it’s harassing and threatening Jewish communities.

The GHF - the US/Israeli "humanitarian" operation during which thousands of starving Palestinians were shot dead - is gone and won't return.

Hudu Abu Naja, 12- before and after starvation. Like thousands of children in Gaza, she suffered from severe malnutrition. In the last two months, organizations and doctors tried to evacuate her without success. This morning, Dr. Ahmed Al-Farra reported she has died reports

Yes they did, but it's not clear at all how much they insisted. More important here is the position of the US, Turkey, Qatar, which, it seems, didn't care

Excluding Marwan Barghouti from the list of prisoners for release means none of the parties are serious about the second stage of the agreement (replacing Hamas with an alternative administration) let along any "peace" prospects

There's every reason in the world to be wary of what's coming next, but we can still be happy for the children of Gaza and the hostages' families.

I think that the International, regional and internal-Israeli dynamics will not allow the Israeli government to return to hostilities. But at the moment that's all we can count on - the "dynamics". There seem to be no clear mechanism to prevent that.

Make no mistake. Those who spearheaded the Gaza genocide will try to relaunch it in a more ruthless manner, at the earliest opportunity.
They will fail only if there will be an alternative vision, one of recognition, life and equality for everyone.

There's a sweet irony in the fact that Itamar Ben Gvir would have to oversee the largest release of Palestinian prisoners ever

I have said this before.
If you don't have a track record of writing or acting against antisemitism, you're not in a position to write about "the weaponisation of antisemitism".
