To where pray tell? A rather defining feature of refugee camps is the lack of options for people to go anywhere else. So, in effect, Israel has just forcibly displaced tens of thousands of people who have absolutely nowhere realistically to go. That seems worth mentioning www.bbc.com/news/article...

These haven't been 'temporary' refugees in these camps. Many will have been multi-generational families who have been contained within these camps by the Israelis for decades. Who have to go through multiple checkpoints daily for everyday life. And now even that has been taken from them #Palestine

Dear manager, This week I: 1. Tumbled out of bed 2. Stumbled to the kitchen 3. Poured myself a cup of ambition 4. Yawned and stretched. 5. Tried to come to life. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it.

"Suspends release" = violates terms of cease fire. Say it! Funny how this doesn't seem to be the major, headlining news it should be. It certainly would have been had Hamas been the side "suspending release". www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

The former foreign minister of South Africa suggests Trumps actions against her country may have more to do with the case SA has brought against Israel at the ICJ rather than anything else. Yep!

Thank you Noura Erakat for this powerful piece that gets to the heart of our responsibility. Fighting for justice where we are requires us to understand that US support of Israeli apartheid and genocide helped lay the groundwork for this authoritarian rise. www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

My "what if" moment today as I was remembering the days of glasnost and perestroika. What if there had been no Davos Pact and Zyuganov had won the run-off election rather than Yelstsin, and therefore no Putin... Would we have been better or worse off today? Who knows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4Rj...

A white man massacres people with immigrant backgrounds. "Lone wolf, may or may not have had political motive, etc." You know the drill. And shockingly little global media attention.

So Hamas is committed to the agreed ceasefire & Israel & the US are ripping it up. Its clear that Israel, with the backing of the United States, wants to resume its genocide. #GMB

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again. They hit the shore and burned their ships.

How Israel is violating the terms of the ceasefire: By now Israel should have allowed 12,000 aid trucks to enter Gaza. They've let in 8,500. 50 fuel trucks should be allowed into Gaza every day. Israel have let in 15 fuel trucks each day

As a South African who has spent 2 decades in the Middle East, I recognize that feeling in the pit of my stomache when the US starts giving off "regime change time" vibes. South Africans should not take the bait which is aimed at stirring up racial tensions.
