With 1.5 million people trapped in Rafah, Israel is moving forward with its invasion with no clear goals. So far Israel has been unable to wipe out the resistance in Gaza, so its only option is to massacre more Palestinians.
Israel began its invasion of Rafah, ordering the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of people. “I do not feel safe in any place in Gaza,” Saadi Salem tells Mondoweiss as he attempts to flee Rafah. “The killing is in every corner around the Gaza Strip.”
Israeli soldiers rounded up Ahmad Safi and his male family members in Khan Younis and made them stand atop a sand dune for 12 hours as the soldiers took cover behind them during a firefight with Palestinian resistance fighters. This is their story.
Ceasefire talks are “paused” as delegations leave Cairo. Sources say Israel wants a full invasion of Rafah despite U.S. opposition, while Hamas reiterates its acceptance of the latest deal. Meanwhile, a new mass grave has been unearthed at al-Shifa.
Israeli strikes intensify on Rafah as Egypt closes the Rafah crossing from its side. Meanwhile, CIA Director Burns prolonged his stay in Qatar to try to avoid a “collapse” of negotiations.
Blinken says Hamas “must” respond to Israel’s proposal as the U.S. begins building a sea pier. Meanwhile, the UN says that 5% of Gaza’s population has been killed or wounded since the beginning of Israel’s assault in October.
As Israel’s invasion of Rafah begins, people in Gaza are holding out hope that international pressure will force Israel to stand down. Part of that hope is tied to the heroic actions of students across the U.S. rising up for Palestine.

Don’t be fooled by Joe Biden’s recent speech on antisemitism. Biden doesn’t care about Jews unless they share his support for Zionism. The rest of us are enemies of the state.
Israeli university presidents condemnation of the Gaza solidarity protests in the U.S. is revealing Israeli universities’ complicity in occupation, apartheid, and genocide.
Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.
The Biden administration has sent Israel billions in weapons since October 7 and pausing weapons transfers now won’t impair its ability to attack Rafah.
The aftermath of the violence at UCLA illustrates that we live in an upside-down world where we decry property damage on college campuses as we fund the genocide in Gaza, and where we advocate for free speech until it says “stop the genocide.”
We strongly denounce Sciences Po’s ambiguous stance on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and condemn the university’s repression of students calling on the administration to take a principled stance against apartheid and genocide.
“We’re prepared to starve ourselves on the lawn of the administration building,” Princeton divestment activist David Chmielewski tells Mondoweiss. “They’re ignoring the urgency of the situation, which is that there’s a genocide actively occurring.”

The New York Times is not an unbiased fount of information, but a sophisticated ideological weapon. Our goal is to unmask the Times and expose the paper for what it is: a tool of empire encased in a liberal veneer.
Jewish students participating in pro-Palestine protests on their campuses would have valuable things to say about the alleged “rising antisemitism” at their schools. But the media is ignoring them.
Maya Wind’s new book meticulously demonstrates how Israeli academic institutions were created to serve the Zionist colonization of Palestine. They continue to do so to this day while fueling Israel’s university-military-industrial complex.
Solidarity through music. That is what the new song “Palestinian-South African Ballad of Love” is all about.
Mustafa al-Kurd left an indelible mark on Palestine’s genre of “committed singing,” contributing to the music of the First Intifada through his “Give Me the Plow and Sickle,” among other classics.
Muhammad Shehada, from Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, discusses the mass graves found at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.
