This is yet another incredibly important and illuminating interview. It is deeply important that we Americans be informed of the truth, truths which then empower and inspire us to not be complicit in our unknowing support and silence regarding the genocide of Palestinians, but to instead speak out and act in every way humanly possible to put pressure on Biden and his administration to stop sending the weapons of war which are slaughtering and injuring and starving the whole of the Palestinian population. We must understand that the framing of "Israel has a right to defend itself" is a horrifying ruse and truly evil propaganda used to justify, excuse, and support genocide. ― Molly
As Israel continues its relentless bombardment and siege of Gaza, where hunger and dehydration have reached deadly levels, Hamas has accused Israel of “thwarting” efforts to reach a ceasefire deal. A Hamas delegation in Cairo said that Israel has insisted on rejecting elements of a deal for a phased process that would culminate in an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza, as well as ensuring the entry of aid and facilitating the return of displaced Palestinians back to their homes in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is pushing Hamas to accept the terms on the table, claiming that a “rational” offer had been made for a six-week truce in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages. The White House statements seem to be “a very politically calculated move so that they can essentially point the blame at Hamas if this fails,” says Tahani Mustafa, senior Palestine analyst at the International Crisis Group. Mustafa also provides updates on UNRWA’s collapsing operations, repression in the West Bank and the utility of international law for Palestine today.
