“Columbia’s capitulation has turned a university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an anti-university, a place of fear and loathing” theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

All entry points into Gaza are closed. At the border, food is rotting. Medicine is expiring. Vital medical equipment is stuck.
If the basic principles of humanitarian law still count, the international community must act to uphold them.

The israelis say they fired on the Red Cross building by mistake despite the massive Red Cross flag on top: yeah, tell that story to the tooth fairy

It’s been three weeks since the Israeli Authorities banned the entry of supplies to #Gaza.
No food, no medicines, no water, no fuel.
A tight siege longer than what was in place in the first phase of the war.
The people of Gaza depend on imports via Israel for their survival.
Every day that passes without the entry of aid means more children go to bed hungry, diseases spread & deprivation deepens.
Every day without food inches Gaza closer to an acute hunger crisis.
Banning aid is a collective punishment on Gaza: the vast majority of its population are children, women & ordinary men.
➡️ The siege must be lifted,
➡️ All hostages must be released ,
➡️ Humanitarian aid & commercial supplies must be brought in uninterrupted + at scale.
