Breaking: Israeli human rights organizations B'Tselem and PHR publish reports concluding Israel is committing a Genocide in Gaza.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth. Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks and other practices of annihilation, prove beyond a doubt that Israel’s target is the entire population of Gaza. Entire cities razed to the ground; medical, educational, religious and cultural infrastructure systematically destroyed; 2 million Palestinians forcibly displaced with the aim of expelling them from Gaza; and, of course, mass starvation and killing - all this amounts to an explicit attempt to destroy the population of Gaza and impose living conditions so catastrophic that Palestinian society cannot continue to exist there. That is the exact definition of genocide. The report we are releasing today is a warning: The ideology driving the Israeli regime is not confined to Gaza. The same regime, the same army, the same leaders and the same commanders are implementing extremely violent practices against Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and within Israel. We are already witnessing the spillover of practices Israel is using in Gaza to other areas - on a different scale, but guided by the same logic. In the West Bank, this is taking the form of airstrikes, demolition of refugee camps, mass evictions, and the deliberate destruction of Palestinian economy and society. No Palestinian who lives under the genocidal Israeli regime is safe. There is no justification for genocide – not “self-defense”, not “security”, and not the heinous acts committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which triggered profound existential fear among Israelis. The international community has not only failed in its duty to stop the atrocities, but the leaders of the Western world, particularly the United States and Europe, also share responsibility by providing support that enables Israel’s acts of destruction. It is the duty of the international community to stop the genocide Israel is carrying out in Gaza. On social media, we are seeing footage of people buried under bombed-out buildings, displaced persons’ camps on fire, children starving, people desperate for water, and hospitals left unable to treat the injured and the sick. As a human rights organization it is our duty and responsibility to say the truth: Genocide is happening, right here and right now. This is our genocide, and we need to stop it.

This should be a major story. But when everything is outrageous, nothing is outrageous theguardian.com/world/2025/j…

Lethal humanitarianism: why violence at Gaza aid centres should not come as a surprise My short piece at @ConversationUK I've discussed parts @refugeestudies in January Now its more horrific than anyone expected Please share RT theconversation.com/lethal-h…

The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond description, beyond atrocious & beyond inhumane. A policy of siege & starvation makes a mockery of international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately. This is a moment for moral clarity & action.

This horrendous starvation is an Israeli policy, with the UK government supporting Israel. This human-produced suffering must stop. theguardian.com/world/2025/a…

The Israel police is now banning protesters from holding photos of Palestinians children killed in Gaza.

Excited to share my new research on Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind's powerful film "In Vitro" (2019). Part of a much needed special issue on "Climate Change, Inhabitation, and Resettlement" edited by @FZubiedat83335 and @irit_katz journals.sagepub.com/eprint/…

While Gazans starve and freeze, Israel has set up a hotel-like facility in the middle of northern Gaza that includes massages, pedicures, barber, onsite dentist, PlayStation and Belgian waffles. It has also begun operating a desalination site for clean running water from the sea.

A Major Victory for Peace Now at the Supreme Court! Today, the court accepted our petition and ruled that from now on, the state must publicly announce any intention to allocate land outside the boundaries of settlements in advance.

Syria returns to the Syrians. The Assadi nightmare of 54 years is over. I cannot believe what I hear and see, I never thought I will live to see this day and I hope fro a better day after.

Now: police raid the Bedouin village of Um Al Hiram in the Negev, ahead of the demolition of the entire village. In recent days the residents were forced to self demolish their one houses. A Jewish village is expected to be built on the village’s land
