The Serfs (youtube.com/theserftimes)
Israel has killed more journalists than any other nation in history. More than the total number of journalists killed during the U.S. Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War combined.
Al Jazeera English@AJEnglish

Al Jazeera’s Heidi Pett says journalist Amal Khalil received threats from an Israeli WhatsApp number during the last war, warning her to stop reporting or leave Lebanon “if she wanted her head to remain on her shoulders,” before being killed today in an Israeli attack.

tbh the pitt is didactic to a fault, which runs contrary to its form. luckily keri russell hates press bc the beauty of her work on the americans lies in an exacting ambiguity - you don't know elizabeth, but because you don't, her expressions mean everything at once

the problem with the pitt is that its form necessitates ambiguity in terms of information, & in this age, that is terrible bc nobody wants to think. at the same time, actors need to stop revealing character biographies/motivations bc it detracts from their performances

Since the ceasefire, everything feels brutally empty like the world hit “mute” but left all the pain running in the background. Nothing changed. Nothing improved. Just the same crushing reality, dressed up as (peace) Share our survival link with ur circle chuffed.org/project/154469…

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half. I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission. I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting. O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

654 days into this and the NYT is still covering daily mass slaughters backed by genocidal rhetoric and textbook ethnic cleansing like it’s a good faith “war on Hamas” that simply has “failures.” They’ve built an entire alternate moral and intellectual universe for liberals.
Mosab Abu Toha@MosabAbuToha

On July 11, I asked Patrick Kingsley, the New York Times’ Jerusalem bureau chief, whether the paper was going to cover the news of a beheaded fetus killed by an Israeli airstrike in Shati Camp alongside his parents and 3-year-old sister, on July 9. He thanked me for the “suggestion.” Because I hoped against hope he would bring light to this horrific crime, I chose not to name him when I posted screenshots of our exchange. It was a Friday when I reached out. Not a single outlet had reported it yet. I offered to help connect him with people on the ground to facilitate coverage. He thanked me again and said, “We have a great team.” I asked if that meant they were pursuing the story. He didn’t respond. I followed up with him days later, sharing more updates. Still, no reply. It wasn’t until today that I felt true rage. This same bureau chief just published a story about the killing of more than 100 people who were shot while trying to get food over the past two days. He framed the massacre not as a war crime, not as state terrorism—but as an example of “Israel’s failure to plan for a power transition in Gaza.” My cousin Ali was among those killed yesterday. He had five small children. His violent death, like the deaths of so many others, was not acknowledged as a crime. Just a “failure,” another “episode,” another instance of poor planning. How do I know this man and have his number? He visited me at my home in 2021 to write a profile of me, which he never published. I hope he never does.

A new cultural hegemony is being formed where Israel is seen, especially by young Americans, as the dystopian "Big Brother" who is always watching and who you're not allowed to criticize. This is going to trigger a reckoning when it comes to the US-Israel relationship 🧵

NYU is withholding this student’s diploma because he chose to recognize the atrocities being committed in Gaza.
