Israeli media reports that the Israeli High Court rejects a petition filed by human rights organizations demanding the entry of humanitarian aid into the #Gaza Strip.

Israeli occupation authorities close the crossings leading to the Gaza Strip for the 28th consecutive day amid an ongoing genocide that has killed more than 830 #Palestinian civilians, worsening the ongoing #humanitarian #crisis.

#Israel announced on Sunday morning that it was halting the entry of all goods & #humanitarian assistance into #Gaza immediately, hours after proposing a temporary extension of the now-expired #ceasefire w/ #Hamas.

The drastic step to block #aid appeared to be aimed at pressuring Hamas into accepting the new framework — & to make the Israeli govt’s negotiating position clear.

Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?

Info on the protester at the Super Bowl who held up Palestinian & Sudanese flags: “I don’t get caught up in politics or anything,” he told The Intercept, adding. “What’s going on in these places are inhumane. The civil war in Sudan, the oppression and the war and the tyranny that’s going on in Gaza, is inhumane. And these people are connected with us all as humans, and especially with me in faith.”

Wait. What? I thought humanitarian action was supposed to be 'neutral, impartial and needs based'. What's this crap?

"The recent stop-work cable from the State Department suspends programs that support America’s global leadership and creates dangerous vacuums that China and our adversaries will quickly fill."

#RIPJimmyCarter -- #Humanitarian #ClimateChangePioneer #NiceGuy. My late grandmother volunteered to get him elected and worked on his re-election campaign, and said he was the only decent human being to run for the office. We both thought he had been set up by the #GOP -- and it turns out, we may have been right!

New claim about #IranHostageCrisis sabotage may change narrative of #Carter presidency

Mar 20, 2023

"In the summer of 1980, a prominent Republican close to #RonaldReagan's campaign sought to sabotage then-President Jimmy Carter's reelection by asking #MiddleEastern leaders to get a message to the #Iranians: Keep the American #hostages until after the election, and the Reagan administration will give you a better deal.

"That stunning reporting this weekend by The New York Times is prompting a rethinking of presidential history."

' #Biden pledged $100m in #humanitarian assistance for the #Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

He restated his admin’s commitment to peace between #Israel and the #Palestinians, allowing the two peoples to live in security and dignity.

Israel, he said, did not live 'by the rule of terrorists' but by the rule of law. Israel, he said, needed to be clear about its objectives. That required “an honest assessment about whether the path you’re on will achieve those objectives".


He explained President #Sisi had agreed to open up the #Rafah crossing to allow up to 20 trucks of #humanitarian assistance into #Gaza.

Biden said: “If -Hamas confiscates them or doesn’t let it get through … then it’s going to end.”

“The bottom line is Sisi deserves a lot of credit.”

“Last week’s attack on #Israel was horrendous. The attack and the taking of #hostages are a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law. But the answer to killing civilians cannot be to kill more civilians"
