This is not Hiroshima, this's Gaza.
Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel dropped 223,000+ tonnes of explosives, equivalent of ~15 "Little Boy" ATOMIC BOMBS, on Gaza.
The world hasn’t seen anything like the destruction in Gaza since Second World War.

El-Sayed: You guys love to play the condemn game. I've already been clear that that ad was not made by me, and I do not agree with the contents of that ad. Please ask me questions that are relevant to the voters of the state of Michigan. I'm running to win an election in Michigan.
Most people don't care about this like intrigue stuff that you all love to carry. It is not of concern to the vast majority of Michiganders. People here are struggling to afford their gas. They're struggling to afford their groceries. They're struggling to see a doctor. They really could care less about all this stuff that you all push for clicks

New York Democratic House candidate Brad Lander says he was out in Michigan talking to Jewish voters about "what it would mean to have Elissa Slotkin and Abdul El-Sayed, a Jewish Michigander and Muslim Michigander, representing that great state."
Lander acknowledged that people are trepidatious about that possibility, "but they like that image of the two of them together," adding, "what a beautiful representation for that state."

.@HaleyforMI why aren't you denouncing the vile anti Muslim and anti Arab bigotry unleashed by Republicans? What kind of Democrat are you?
Randa Cain retweeted
If you want to understand how normalized anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia is in the centrist wing of the Democratic Party, Haley Stevens is on CNN demanding a man who has been subjected to both denounce and ‘take down’ an allegedly ‘antisemitic’ that he had nothing to do with.

🚨 REPORTER: Are Jews oppressed in Iran?
IRANIAN JEW: We have rights, schools, and a seat in parliament.
REPORTER: And Israel?
IRANIAN JEW: We oppose what they’re doing.
The world is fed a wrong narrative
Israel does NOT represent Jews

Try to imagine a prominent host on any news or entertainment network in America asking a fellow on-air panelist ‘You want more Jews in positions of power? You want more Black people in positions of power?’
Just try and imagine that. Try.

That's how it's done. There should be precisely ZERO people on the planet supporting babies being sniped in the head for giggles, a trapped people being starved to death, kids burned & buried alive, men raped by abused dogs, animals slaughtered, homes demolished & thieved. ZERO!
This is what @AbdulElSayed means when he says our tax dollars should be spent at home, not killing innocent civilians abroad.
Report: U.S. to sell Israel 40,000 bombs funded by $2.8 billion in U.S. taxes haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…
Gaza has been flattened by Israeli bombing or demolition and clearing by heavy machinery and explosives.”
Furthermore, many areas where Israeli troops are deployed “continue to be levelled by bulldozers with no respect for the dead under the rubble.”
Thousands of bodies remain buried under rubble in Gaza but Israel is refusing entry to the heavy machinery needed to clear it. “The remains of what appears to be entire families are now being unearthed at locations that were pulverized by Israeli attacks." trib.al/TD7KhuQ

Shame on Ed Sheeran for buckling in the face of oligarchical censorship. Shame on him for turning his back on a friend. Shame on him as an artist, for not sticking up for artistic freedom on his tour.

We owe Macklemore a debt, writes @EdgeofSports. He could have chosen silence. Instead, he stood firm to the principle that there is nothing antisemitic about criticizing Israel, and there is nothing antisemitic about opposing genocide.

Gaza has the highest concentration of child amputees in the world (at the peak of Israeli bombing, 10 kids were losing limbs daily), UNRWA says. And now Israel is now blocking prosthetic limbs from entering Gaza. All this has happened with US support or complicity.
🚨Aid coalition chief: Israel blocks wheelchairs, prosthetics, watermelons, and fresh produce from entering Gaza
Athena Rayburn, executive director of the Association of International Development Agencies, which represents more than 100 humanitarian and development NGOs operating in the occupied Palestinian territory, detailed Israel’s sweeping restrictions on aid during a UN Security Council briefing Wednesday.
🔹Israel rejects scissors, crutches, wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs as “dual-use,” bars medical specialists and restricts engine oil so severely that its price has risen to 45 times normal levels, bringing aid operations to “an absolute breaking point,” Rayburn said.
🔹Israeli authorities have also rejected watermelon and onions under an unpublished “humanitarian policy,” deregistered more than 30 international aid groups and repeatedly moved the supposedly fixed Yellow Line, cutting access to at least 85 water points, schools and health clinics.
“Humanitarian assistance, by its nature, cannot be conditioned,” Rayburn said, noting Israel was shrinking “almost daily” the physical space in Gaza where aid groups can operate.

It's completely insane to me that these people really get on TV to reveal their real-life supervillain schemes and the world just proceeds as normal

I know nothing should surprise me anymore but to see establishment Democrats who spent all of 2024 insisting - demanding! - that everyone had to vote for the Dem candidate, ‘BLUE NO MATTER WHO’, to stop Trump, now saying they can’t bring themselves to vote for a left Dem candidate to stop Trump and MAGA is just astonishing.
Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan’s Democratic primary has complicated Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s plans to help Democrats retake the Senate in the November, tying his party’s fortunes to a candidate some Democrats say they cannot support. wapo.st/4idISp8

BREAKING: This is South Lebanon right now.
Israel is dropping bombs on civilian homes in al-Mansouri, terrorizing families in the middle of the night.
This is what a “ceasefire” looks like for civilians in southern Lebanon.
Bombs. Death. Destruction.
Every single day.
