Visited a friend's father who is in the hospital and MSNOW (MSNBC?) was on the television in his room and I was thinking that would probably make me want to just die.

Hey Chait what happened?

Read this and ask yourself whether these people are combatting antisemitism or promoting it.

Schumer losing support of unions now. Big development.
NEWS: 600,000-member Machinists union is urging Schumer not to seek another term as Senate Dem leader.
“We believe this is the right moment for a new generation to lead Senate Democrats,” IAM President Brian Bryant writes in a letter sent to the full caucus, obtained by @POLITICO w.@DashaBurns

I love how study after study shows that students perform better with less homework, while workers are more productive with more vacation time and shorter shifts, yet we continue doing the opposite because of outdated, guilt-driven beliefs that equate hard work with suffering

Nothing to see, just Doctors Without Borders suspending services in the occupied West Bank due to Israeli restrictions, “that amount to the collective punishment and ethnic cleansing of
Palestinians.”
Why would anyone report it…
#Palestine: For 10 days, Palestinians in Hebron, #WestBank have faced military raids, forced evictions and severe movement restrictions, making it harder for people to reach care.
The lockdown also forced our teams to suspend care. doctorswithoutborders.ca/pal…

I can’t personally vet individual fundraisers, so I encourage anyone looking to donate to check out organizations like LL4Gaza and @sameerproject.
At the same time, we need to recognize that fundraising alone cannot address the structural problem of humanitarian aid sitting at the border while Palestinians are deprived of basic necessities. This is a political crisis, not merely a humanitarian one. No amount of fundraising can substitute for ending the system and policies responsible for these conditions.
🚨 🆘 🌧️
The situation in Gaza has reached a critical point. Flooding is destroying what remains of shelters, people are enduring prolonged exposure to cold, wet conditions, and virtually no one is spared - not the sick, the children, or the elderly. In these conditions, direct family support can no longer be deferred.
Local organisations on the ground are unable to reach most of Gaza or address the specific needs of individual families. Continuous support through family survival appeals has therefore become essential. These funds allow families to obtain winter clothing, buy rainproof tents, repair shelters, cover medical costs, pay rent to avoid being forced onto flooded streets, and meet other urgent requirements.
lifeline4gaza.com currently lists over 2,800 confirmed appeals from Gaza. Some of the least-supported appeals have received no donations for nearly four months. The list is sorted in real time by least supported, so donors do not need to select individual cases. Contributions directed to the appeals currently at the top allow the system to automatically advance the next least-supported appeals.
Given the scale and urgency of the crisis, it is necessary that lifeline4gaza.com be more widely known and supported. The longer these appeals remain without attention, the longer families continue without the critical assistance required in the present conditions. Those able to do so are urged to share the site and direct others to it.

Congresswoman Tlaib calls for a full arms embargo and an end to Israel’s systematic deprivation of shelter aid for Palestinians in Gaza:
Heavy winter floods in Gaza are devastating displaced families, flooding their tents. Children are freezing and dying. Hundreds of thousands have nowhere to sleep.
This is not a natural disaster. This is man-made genocide. Israel continues to block tents, shelters, and fuel from entering. They have concentrated 2 million people into dangerously flood-prone areas and have destroyed Gaza's sewage system.
We must force an end to this U.S.-backed genocide. Full arms embargo now.

🔵 Save the Children: “This is a choice”
“This is not simply the result of bad weather. Tents, shelter kits and fuel are waiting at Gaza’s borders while children sleep in floodwater, because the Israeli authorities are blocking their entry.
This is a choice, and children are paying the price. More than a year into the so-called ceasefire, it has failed to protect Palestinian children.”

The rain spared no one in Gaza. In the first winter storm, water poured through damaged roofs. People living in collapsed buildings were flooded. Families sheltering indoors watched the few things they still had get soaked through. chuffed.org/project/113222-t…
Imagine trying to keep one change of clothes dry. Trying to hold on to a little privacy and dignity when even the roof above you gives way!
This is what the storm did inside a building. Now imagine spending that same night in a tent, with rain coming through the roof and floodwater rising from underneath. Where do you put your children, all your belongings, protect the elderly and those with disabilities, when there’s nowhere dry for them to sleep?
No one escapes the suffering in Gaza. Please support The Sameer Project’s winter response by giving to out General Campaign.

No one can say they didn’t know. Palestinians in Gaza know this, too. They know that when the world looks away, it’s choosing to. chuffed.org/project/113222-t…
No one gets to say, “I would have acted if only I’d known.” We are showing you. You can see families wading through floodwater, trying to salvage a blanket or a dry change of clothes for their children.
And the silence is deafening.
Our community continues to respond. Thank you. And share this with those who you think will also care, those how have humanity. Donate to The Sameer Project’s winter response in our General Fund.

What is the world waiting for?
chuffed.org/project/113222-t…
This is Gaza City on Saturday, November 7. The first winter storm flooded displacement camps. Families watched the water rise inside their tents, soaking their mattresses, their blankets and the few clothes they had left. Where exactly were they supposed to go?
The Israeli military occupation is keeping crossings closed and restricting the aid that families need to survive. Tents, blankets and equipment to pump out floodwater are needed now. For two million people trapped in Gaza, being forced to endure this while lifesaving aid is held back amounts to torture.
How many more videos do world leaders need to see before they act? Open the crossings. Let aid in. Families in Gaza are already living through the consequences of every day you wait.
Help us support them and donate to The Sameer Project’s General Fund.

No one believes this, and Blinken knows it, but that's why he'll keep saying it publicly. It is a demonstration of power. Him and everyone like him took a body blow last week, so expect to keep seeing a flex of this muscle in the coming weeks, months.
