“One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” -- Omar El Akkad

My god BBC News (UK) we know you’re capable of investigating the veracity of Israel’s claims around Hamas command centres and hospitals. Do it again, or at least caveat with: “Israel’s claims have been proven false on a number of occasions & there is no evidence to support this

"I walked through the fire all by myself. The rubble fell on them." "I want to see my sisters, to be with them, but they're dead. I want to be with them." "I love Mama as big as the sky and the earth and the stars." But her mother is dead, too, along with two of her brothers.

Israel wants to give life sentences to CHILDREN and I can’t find one story in Western media. How is this not newsworthy?

Do subscribe to the basement films YouTube channel and show your support - they’ve been making crucial documentaries on Gaza for months (including the one on Israel targeting medics, currently being withheld by BBC News (UK)).

An important statement from Sangita—she has my full and unwavering support.

I wrote about discovering my grandmother’s hair in Harvard’s Peabody Museum in The Trouble of Color. It still haunts me. I salute Tamara Lanier who persisted in her quest to win control of her ancestor’s images from the same museum — and prevailed! nytimes.com/2025/05/28/har…

"Our hands are not tied.. if we want to do something about it, as we did in the past, South Africa is a very good example during apartheid..." Over 800 lawyers have signed a letter demanding the UK govt impose sanctions on the Israeli govt. Michael Mansfield was one of them.

Israeli settlements are not "widely considered" illegal under international law. They *are* illegal under international law. You don't need to say "Israel disputes that". If someone disputed the sky was blue would you report it?

The bombs on Gaza tonight are so brutal we are feeling their reverberations across the West Bank. This is a bloodbath by Israel.

Please donate to Yamen’s fundraiser if you can. It will mean everything.

Read this horrifying testimony from Israel's massacre of people just trying to get food:

I wanna be on that subway in London and read my poem aloud.

Why doesn’t BBC News (UK) engage with the word ‘genocide’? Another clip from my interview with Middle East Eye a few months ago, on how the BBC has failed to responsibly incorporate the term into #Gaza coverage despite growing consensus that Israel is, indeed, committing a genocide.

Further shooting of people seeking aid this morning. The Israeli tactic is to divert attention with bogus claims about false reporting. The media mustn't fall for it. These scenes are apocalyptic.

#AmnestyInternational 🙏 #FreedomFlotilla

The Gaza freedom flotilla is rescuing Sudanese refugees. Our causes are linked. We are one. From Sudan and Palestine to Haiti and Congo.

Amnesty Media Awards 2025. I was glad to see Palestinian journalists in #Gaza honoured & robust journalism on Israeli atrocities awarded. Shout out to judge Sangita Myska and award winner Owen Jones. Two brilliant journalists who have greatly supported my work.

Small Prayer Change, move, dead clock, that this fresh day May break with dazzling light to these sick eyes. Burn, glare, old sun, so long unseen, That time may find its sound again, and cleanse Whatever it is that a wound remembers After the healing ends. Weldon Kees
