It’s a bit sad that so many more Americans will have debates about the propriety of a group chat about bombing Yemen than about, well, bombing Yemen

Hehehe. Yeah, now that you say it 😂

From the river to the sea!!!

This Palestinian girl comforted her little brother, despite being injured herself, after a recent Israeli airstrike in Nuseirat, central Gaza.

I don't know why the SF Chronicle avoids mentioning specifics at all.

But the "violation of workplace conduct policy" alluded to here was a social media post promoting fundraising for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which offended some racists.

She was fired for supporting the UN.

Israel accused of act of genocide over restriction of Gaza water supply Human Rights Watch says Israeli forces have acted deliberately to cut availability of clean water
