“It’s not a genocide”, but Gaza’s economy collapsed 83%. “It’s not a genocide”, but the night sky shows a place erased from the face of the earth. “It’s not a genocide”, but famine is rampant. This satellite image was within months of the onslaught. What does it look like now?

I interviewed experts in Mexico about AMLO & Sheinbaum’s comms strategy, and one thing stood out: they command attention, while Biden and Harris ran from it. Daily pressers, populism, direct engagement, culture—why aren’t Democrats doing this?

The so-called PayPal Mafia includes billionaires like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and David Sacks, "all of whom in some way or other grew up in South Africa," says reporter @ChrisMcGreal. He details how the racist apartheid policies influenced some of these men now in Trump's orbit.

The Educational Bookshop in East Jerusalem is full with shoppers in solidarity a day after the Israel Police raided the Palestinian store, arrested its owners and confiscated books. They dropped the charges of incitement but still detain them for ‘disturbing the public order’

I’m gutted, my cousin Mousa Qous died, while his beloved daughter, Shadin, languishes unjustifiably in an Israeli torture center dungeon.
Our Afro-Palestinian community mourns the tragic loss of a remarkable leader, a brilliant journalist and a cherished mentor.

Shaden is a wonderful and brilliant student, and future attorney, who was abducted by Israeli armed forces. She and the other women must be released immediately!!!
One of the 20 women still languishing in an Israeli prison is a 22 year old US citizen named Shaden Qous. Shaden is studying law at Birzeit University. She is an artist and a dancer. She was abducted by Israeli armed forces on January 6 and has been in an Israeli prison ever since. #FreeShaden #FreeThemAll

⚡️BREAKING:
English testimony of Palestinian hostage Ibrahim Mohammad Al-Shawish who was released today by Israel.
For 45 days, he was blindfolded, shackled, and forced to kneel, before being transferred to Naqab (Negev) prison, where he suffered electric shocks and attacks by dogs.
Upon his release, visible signs of torture and extreme malnutrition marked his face.

I'm excited to share Part 2 of my @AJEnglish film series, The Palestine Laboratory, just broadcast around the globe.
It's made with @FilmsBlackleaf and the wonderful director @summerrainsmell.
Part 2 traverses the planet, from the US/Mexico border to Mexico, Greece and India, South Africa and then back to Israel/Palestine, showing how these insidious weapons and surveillance tech are spreading globally.
The series is adapted from my best-selling @VersoBooks @scribepub title of the same name.
Watch and please spread the word:

Children in Gaza live under the constant threat of Israeli bombardment. Soft Skin is a short film that shows the lengths mothers are forced to go to in case the worst should happen … and the psychological impact that has on their children.
Soft Skin is part of From Ground Zero, a collection of 22 short films made in Gaza, initiated by Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi, to tell the untold stories of the current war. From Ground Zero is the official submission of Palestine in the International Feature Film category of the 97th Academy Awards.
