Don’t be fooled with 36 menial trucks of flour that do nothing but quenched the outrage. These trucks are not a victory or a reason to celebrate, in fact is a badge of shame and dishonor.

If a fundraiser for someone in Gaza has quite a large amount of money already donated, it does NOT mean that the person is just sitting on that money comfortably, often the campaigns are several months old & money has already been withdrawn & used to keep families fed & alive.

Just saw the remains of 20-year-old Palestinian journalist Hassan Hamad reduced to a plastic bag and a shoebox. According to a fresh tally from CPJ, 123 journalists have now been killed in Israeli strikes. If you're a journalist and you're not speaking out in solidarity ... why?

Adam Shatz’s latest essay on Gaza in @LRB is a lesson in the art of the counterinsurgency letter: sagely dispatched bromides, dehumanizing anti-Arab racism, hagiography of the most offensive liberal Zionists (Beinart, Leifer, etc.)—a cri de cœur for a return to “normal”
