No one in Gaza feels safe. Israeli warplanes circle the skies nonstop, bombing civilian homes mercilessly, killing dozens without reason.
The airstrikes last night killed more than 400 Palestinians, including 174 children, 89 women, and 32 elderly...
We’re still in shock. My eight-year-old daughter can no longer sleep.
I tried to comfort her, to help her sleep, but she kept waking up crying. She told me, “Mama, every time I close my eyes, I feel like another bomb is falling on us.”

#Israel killed more than 400 Palestinians, including over 100 children, in one of the bloodiest bombardments of the #Gaza Strip early on Tuesday, unilaterally ending its ceasefire with #Hamas.
Air strikes began hitting all five Gaza municipalities from north to south at around 3am local time (12am GMT) on the 18th day of the holy month of Ramadan.

"The youths film themselves posing as representatives of a fictional humanitarian organisation and call their family members and friends to ask for donations for Palestinian children. Those called usually react with rage, shouting and swearing before the callers reveal themselves in the videos uploaded to the platform as humorous pranks."

As Freed Palestinians Describe Torture, Trump OKs $3 Billion Arms Package for Israel
Like the #Biden administration, #Trump is claiming an "emergency" in order to bypass Congress.
Brett Wilkins
Feb 28, 2025
As #Palestinians released from #Israeli imprisonment recount torture and other abuse suffered at the hands of their former captors, the Trump administration on Friday approved a new $3 billion weapons package for #Israel.
The new package, reported by Zeteo's Prem Thakker, includes nearly $2.716 billion worth of bombs and weapons guidance kits, as well as $295 million in bulldozers.

As the first phase of the #Gaza ceasefire comes to an end it is clear the #Trump White House has no substantive policy for the region. #Israel is filling that vacuum with perpetual war.

"The first phase of the deal between #Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire and exchange of captives is set to expire on Saturday, March 1, after what is supposed to be the final exchange on Thursday of the bodies of four Israeli captives for the freedom of several hundred Palestinians held by Israel. But, with #Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu engaged in an active campaign to sabotage the internationally brokered deal that officially went into effect on January 19, the future of the deal is anything but certain."

#YvesEngler arrest in Montreal has been labelled an 'attack' on free expression in #Canada

Alex Tyrrell, party leader of the Green Party of Quebec, who accompanied #Engler to the police station on Thursday, spoke to the Middle East Eye about Engler’s arrest.
“I think it’s a shocking attack on free expression and democratic rights and criticism of Israel in Canada - a country that’s supposed to be a free, democratic society. We’re supposed to speak out about a genocide," Tyrrel told MEE.
