Iām honored to have been appointed Executive Director of the Center on Conscience & War (@CCW4COs).
With the first US dead in another immoral war, more troops will be questioning their role. Our job is to find them, defend them, and help them come home.

I love how stupid Israel is sometimes. They couldāve easily buried the footage/details of his death and put out some fake story of hiding behind civilians or something. Instead it will inspire resistance fighters for generations to come. An iconic last stand, mythic proportions

Half the journalists working in Gaza have been assassinated by Israeli airstrikes, many with their families (or had family killed instead of them). All the rest know theyāre on the hit list. The courage to keep working. The silence of the American media. Unbelievable moment
Another Palestinian journalist in Gaza killed by Israel, Mohammed Abu Hattab and 11 members of his family were killed in Khan Younis, SOUTH of Gaza, where residents were told to flee too. This is his death being announced on TV. You don't need to understand Arabic, just watch.

Sheās tweeting this because we all just saw the video of the Palestinian woman and her baby boy shot by Israeli snipers dying on the street while IDF goons shot at rescuers
New evidence from October 7 suggests Arab women and children were among the attackers and partook in murdering Israeli civilians.
According to Ynet reporter @HauzmanOfir: āI talk to [Israeli] mothers who survived the inferno and they tell me that among the terrorists who broke into their homes, there were also children and womenā¦One says that the terrorist who was in her house managed to unfold a table, and they all sat down to eat while she (the survivor) put her hand over her little daughterās mouth so she wouldnāt make any sound. Yes, like in the Holocaustā¦.They shot someone elseās dogs, tied some of them with a rope to a motorcycle, and dragged them while driving toward the Strip.ā
