Civilians in Gaza crying as they eat bread for the first time in four months.
I cannot share the photos I am seeing of children starving to death in Gaza - starved intentionally by Israel as the world watches. They are too horrific.
Conditions are absolutely desperate & aid must enter.
Sanctions contre des colons israéliens violents : une étape symbolique qui doit mener à la fin du commerce français avec les colonies. La France doit prendre des mesures pour contraindre #Israël à respecter le droit international. #CEASEFIRE_NOW#Gaza

When you see it, please share as widely as possible. Thank you.
I've been writing here a little bit about the #gaza atrocities, trying to work up some courage to write something for a more Israeli audience, but in all honesty I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it.
People in Israel are getting fired, arrested, harassed by right wing thugs and generally treated with hostility for speaking up for Palestinians and a ceasefire.
There are some very brave people who are speaking out and are facing personal consequences of varying degrees because of that. I'm not sure I'm capable of this.
It's hard to even know how high the risks are, because I've always been very anxious about these things (Israel is generally not very leftist-friendly), and while the things I'm talking about are very real, I don't know how to assess the likelihood that I'll be affected by these things should I say anything.
That official is LYING. UK MP Layla Moran, has Christian family in that church, who tell a different story - they are starved, targeted by tanks, missiles & snipers, unable even to move to visit toilets for fear of snipers.
