These absolutely fantastic and loving people with generous hearts can show the rest of us on Earth a thing or two about love and courage and devotion.

As Gorbachev said, "You can't trust the Americans," meaning you can't trust the Israelis either. They are, as they always claim, one and the same. Greater Israel has been the goal since before David Ben Gurion.

I am sure that all caring people worldwide know the track record of the adversaries, and have no misplaced optimism that this time will be different. OTOH, breathe deeply for as long as it lasts, and for the first time, know that millions of people know the truth of what Israel is and has always been, and there's no going back from that. Some slogans mean more now than ever before: Solidarity forever!

Call on Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. He can go to Gaza right now, and insist aid be allowed in. Then on to the West Bank to end the occupation and apartheid.

Is there anything more important in today's world than this?

The work that the Hind Rajab Foundation is doing will continue to be vital in bringing the culprits to justice. This is ongoing and something we should support, irrespective of any ‘ceasefire.’

Thanks for keeping us updated 👏

We must continue to demand immediate safe release for Dr Hossam Abu Safiya + all his medical colleagues, all the imprisoned journalists + every Palestinian Prisoner from the Kahanist torture camps!

After that, demand war crimes investigations + international tribunals!

Shaun King isn't always my favorite, but he said something recently that makes a lot of sense. The best way to keep Israel from restarting the serious bombing is to flood the strip with foreigners - journalist, medical volunteers, aid workers of all sorts, and religious leaders. And even bigger flotillas.

I think this makes so much sense. Israel doesn't mind if they murder a French MD, but if they murder 20 European MD's, they'd pay a serious price.

Take action today - Don't let up the pressure simply because there is a claim that Israel will cease hostilities. The genocide is ongoing and the perpetrators must not be allowed to go back to business as usual.

FIFA and UEFA are meeting about whether to expel Israel from their tournaments. Take action today, because actions of this kind may be one of the only things that matters to those committing the atrocities against the Palestinian people. Tell FIFA to ban Israel from playing in the 2026 World Cup:

Stop the techno-genecide

Even if there is a ceasefire, the occupation won’t end. From AI to cloud services to propaganda, Big Tech is fueling the genocide in Gaza. There's a letter-writing campaign to join. The letter itself is a bit wimpy. Please feel free to add or revise it before sending.

Could someone kindly explain to me why Drop Site calls them Israeli “captives” and not “hostages”? It feels like the right choice but I struggle to articulate my reasoning

Very exciting!! But WHO are the guys in the balaclavas and black masks with the machine guns??

Hopefully we will get some coverage from the West Bank too!

Great job guys, just wish it was easier to actually write a comment here.

Hamas has deployed forces to maintain order. There are Israeli supported gangs that have been stealing aid and cooperating with the IDF. There has already been fighting between these gangs and Hamas security.
