In Haifa, where ‘coexistence’ requires silence about Israel’s war crimes Last Saturday, I joined thousands in the streets to protest the genocide. But the ensuing backlash has made me question whether I'm welcome in my own city. Ghousoon Bisharat writes: 972mag.com/haifa-protest-…

“The IPC was created to prevent catastrophes, but in Gaza its work is being used to calibrate one… When a govt admits it cannot win without keeping millions at death’s edge, the response cannot be technical adjustments.” Rob Blecher & Chris Newton on Israel’s starvation policy.


NEW: The number of “cides” in Gaza is growing, but beyond its destruction of schools, hospitals, farmland and entire family lineages, Israel is also engaging in historicide — the destruction of history itself — argues Lydia Wilson in New Lines Magazine. newlinesmag.com/essays/histori…

💻 Pleased to be fully joining Crisis Group as a Senior Israel/Palestine Analyst, after several months as a consultant. A bittersweet moment amid nightmare realities. Hope to do my best with colleagues to shape policies and perspectives for the better, with Gaza at the forefront.




My body is breaking down. My mother is collapsing from exhaustion. My cousin cheats death every day for a morsel of aid. Gaza's children are dying in front of our eyes, and we are powerless to help them. By Ruwaida Amer in southern Gaza. 972mag.com/hunger-gaza-fo…

Every gut-wrenching line by Ruwaida Amer captures the pervasive, physically excruciating horror of 2 million people left to the whims of Israeli malice and indifference. This shouldn’t be happening. Bread and water aren’t bargaining chips. Govts have no excuse for passivity.
