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.

Near-daily Israeli massacres at food distribution sites in Gaza have killed over 400 Palestinians in the past month alone. Survivors describe stepping over corpses to get their hands on a bag of flour: ‘What choice do we have?’ 972mag.com/hunger-games-i…

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.

From the first sentence to the last, the Israeli parliament's hearing on the impeachment of Ayman Odeh was a farce. Knesset members from across the political spectrum competed to see who could spew the vilest rhetoric against him. 972mag.com/ayman-odeh-kne…

EU pressure through threat of sanctions delivering results. Now the EU needs to hold Israel to these humanitarian commitments, stop its killing and displacement of Palestinian civilians, and agree to a permanent ceasefire deal.

A ceasefire is not enough. The Israeli military’s weaponisation of aid and starvation to displace and destroy Palestinian society will not stop as long as Israel controls aid distribution. Our new analysis shows how Israel has imposed a deadly aid system through GHF ration

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.
