President Biden is headed to Tel Aviv and Jordan to firm up support before an expected Israeli escalation in Gaza.

The World Health Organization says there are only “24 hours of water, electricity and fuel left” in Gaza, which will lead to “a real catastrophe.” Meanwhile, Israel is now bombing the so-called “safe” areas where it told civilians to flee.

The legislative effort is led by Representatives Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib, André Carson, Summer Lee, and Delia Ramirez calls on the Biden administration to push for an immediate ceasefire and send humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Almost one thousand years ago, Pope Urban II exhorted European kings to wage a Crusaders war on the Holy Land. This past week has shown evidence that the Crusader’s war is still very much alive.

A 71-year-old man in Illinois was charged with stabbing a 6-year-old boy to death and seriously injuring his mother in an Islamophobic, anti-Palestinian attack.

For decades, Western governments attempted to “manage the conflict” in Palestine with “concern” but no accountability. Now, they are giving Israel the green light to commit a massacre. 

As the humanitarian conditions in Gaza become “catastrophic,” tensions continue to rise on the border with Lebanon as Israel orders the evacuation of more settlements. Meanwhile, Israel denies rumors of a ceasefire.

Keep my stories alive, so that you keep me alive. Remember that the world that pretended to be the savior of humanity participated in killing it.

While the world’s eyes are on Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, Israel has also put the entire West Bank on lockdown. We are living under siege.

The annihilating violence of organized state force that is now unfolding in Gaza can never be morally equated with even the most atrocious acts of the colonized, committed in the hope of liberation.
