These numbers are deeply, deeply shocking & not remotely “normal” or typical even for modern warfare and aerial bombardment. After less than one month, this figure is already approaching the number of children killed during the Nazi’s blitz on London that lasted eight months.

“The Palestinian death toll has reached 9,061. Women and children are 62% of these victims.” – @unocha

“Settler violence has also escalated dramatically, averaging seven attacks a day. In more than a third of these attacks, firearms were used.” – @unhumanrights pic.twitter.com/2BRJGrU7rC

At this point, Congress is just an arms dealer. No education. No access to healthcare. No housing. No clean drinking water. But we’ll finance your war.

As a Jew who grew up just after the Holocaust, with relatives who fled pogroms and a grandfather named Israel, I take “never again” seriously. And that means never again for anyone.

Never again is now.

We must put an immediate stop to this genocide. https://t.co/5q5OsWyZFA

A startling admission is buried in the @nytimes today: Israeli officials admit they are fine with “mass civilian casualties” in Gaza. The Israeli officials also cite the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan to justify the scale of expected civilian death in Gaza. Unconscionable.

Despite the International Criminal Court being created by the Rome Statute in 1994, here’s why Israel and the US have never been held accountable for war crimes and why victims of Western wars will not likely see justice anytime soon🧵#Gaza

▶ Elementary Genocide 2

“Rahiem Shabazz continues the conscience-raising dialogue generated by his acclaimed documentary Elementary Genocide: The School To Prison Pipeline with his equally hard-hitting Elementary Genocide 2: The Board of Education vs The Board of Incarceration. Featuring interviews with noted educator and Black psychologist Dr. Umar Johnson, Chief Juvenile Court Judge Steven C. Teske, fearless former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, former political prisoner and Black Liberation Army co-founder Dhoruba bin Wahad, popular social commentator Dr. Boyce Watkins, award-winning education reformer Dr. Steve Perry and more, The Board of Education vs The Board of Incarceration uncovers the true purpose of today’s educational system and how it’s failing the African child. Going beyond the school-to-prison pipeline headlines and conspiracy theories, The Board of Education Vs. The Board of Incarceration proves that something sinister is afloat by digging deep to explore its origin, its existence and how to plot its destruction to save every Black child.”
