Our latest oped: “Harvard President Alan Garber has written, ‘The fearless & unfettered pursuit of truth liberates humanity.’ All scholarship rests on that ideal. But realizing it requires…. restorative justice: acknowledging harm, accepting accountability, & rebuilding trust.”

@MaucourantNada @jemaggie

@MaucourantNada There are absolutely no excuses and NO amount of propaganda can stand as justification for the insane evil being cared out on Lebanon, Palestine & Iran. UnGodly and the US greed & zealot quest for world power and Zionist Israel expansionism are responsible.x.com/sahouraxo/stat…

Hussein Saleh lost 8 members of his family in an Israeli strike on their home, including his pregnant wife. He found the head of his young daughter amid the rubble. “When I picked up her head, everything changed. Something in my heart broke and went silent.” It is one of the most heartbreaking stories @NadaOHomsi and I have worked on during the war. Nothing could justify such a horrific attack.

I have not seen a single mainstream media outlet give this the attention it deserves. Israel blew up an entire Lebanese town, an ancient place. It should be headline news. There’s footage of it happening. Imagine this was your town, and you saw every building blown up by a terrorist army to prevent you from ever returning. You would at the very least expect wall to wall coverage. Instead it passes without a word. It’s not the only town Israel has blown up. And sadly it probably won’t be the last.

The accurate word is occupy — not “keep control.” You don’t “keep control” over sovereign territory that isn’t yours. Words matter.

On this Easter weekend, remember that Israel uses American taxpayer dollars to destroy churches in the Middle East.

Hussam Abu Safieh is one of the Palestinian doctors (among 95 other doctors) that will be killed by the “Israeli death penalty for hostages.” Do not let them murder him. Repost this.

@SikhFeminist @_ZachFoster Shiite to be specific

Today's Anne Frank is a Lebanese Muslim girl hiding in the attic of a Lebanese Christian family, terrified of Israeli Jewish soldiers finding her and killing her.

Hey @nytimes, what is it called when you forcibly remove a specific ethnic or religious group from their land?

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

The detonation and pulverisation of villages and towns in southern Lebanon by the Israeli military. The ultimate plan is to wipe out everything and make southern Lebanon uninhabitable before colonising it.

Today, March 30, 2026, the Knesset votes on the Palestinian prisoners’ death penalty law ⚠️ A move that throws thousands of prisoners into the face of death. Ben-Gvir and his party members wore a noose-shaped pin, demanding it be turned into an enforceable law. 🆘Save the prisoners✊🕊️

BREAKING: Trump and Israel just dropped bombs on an orphan charity complex near Karaj, Iran. Not a military base. Not a bunker. An orphanage. Children with nowhere else to go. Remember this when they talk about “precision strikes.”

U.S. and Israeli strikes have damaged more than 65,000 civilian sites in Iran, according to a UN and Red Crescent tally. Among them are a disturbingly high number of medical centers. @nevegordon calls the pattern of attacks ‘The Gaza Doctrine’ —> nybooks.com/online/2026/03…

Israel executed Hassan today in Aaitit, South Lebanon. Not a combatant. Not armed. Just a paramedic on the front lines saving lives. Israel dropped a bomb on his ambulance, killing him and wounding 4 others. Read that again.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 propublica.org/article/trump-…

Israel just released footage of last night's attack on South Lebanon where they demolished an entire town. After getting away with genocide, Israel is emboldened and openly bragging about their war crimes. They are stealing South Lebanon right now and no one is stopping them.

Anyone gonna say anything about Lebanon’s right to exist?

@AssalRad @MouinRabbani Don’t worry they already deleted it

NYT finally got a community note for its whitewashing language.

BREAKING: Israel is raining bombs on civilian homes in Tyre, South Lebanon — a city that has stood for more than 4,000 years. Not military sites. Civilian neighborhoods.
