Every time the State Dept spokesman is asked about the investigation into the killing of Hind Rajab, Matt Miller says it's still ongoing. Weirdly, the Washington Post was able to get a response from the Israeli military before the State Department.

A German government agency invited ghenwa and me to write an essay for an anthology on gaming and right-wing extremism, with our contribution focusing on 'Islamophobia in gaming contexts' based on our Gaming Islam project. We refused:

BREAKING: Israel remains plausibly accused of genocide in Gaza.

Berlin police just canceled the entire Palestine Congress. I was the only speaker that successfully finished a speech.

Salman Abu Sitta was cut off after 1 minute. Our livestream ended and electricity cut off.

This is Germany.

A heavy Ramadan at the start but even heavier now that its end

In trying to stop an ongoing genocide, South Africa took Israel and Nicaragua took Germany to the Hague. The bought-out 'leaders' of the Arab & Muslim worlds have long abandoned the Palestinians, but the Global South has their back, in solidarity and humanity #respect

There is no a better demonstration of how Biden could have prevented mass starvation half a year ago than this. All it took was a single phone call.

-33,000 Palestinians killed, 75,000 injured, 2,000,000 displaced, famine
🇺🇸: Nothing we can do, Israel is a sovereign state. But they’re not targeting civilians or blocking aid

-7 foreign aid workers killed & outraged celebrity chef
🇺🇸: They’ll open a crossing to let more aid in

Israel has just re-opened the Beit Hanoun/Erez crossing for the first time since 7 October. As repeatedly noted, Israel is so utterly dependent on the US it literally takes just one phone call to reverse Israeli policy 180 degrees.

Within hours of Biden threatening to suspend U.S. military aid to Israel, Netanyahu agrees to open a major crossing for humanitarian aid into northern Gaza, where starvation is widespread. Biden always had that leverage but wouldn't use it. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…
