"On 1 April, all 25 bakeries supported by the #WorldFoodProgramme (WFP) across the #Gaza Strip shut down due to the lack of wheat flour and fuel.

Today, families are using the last remaining bags of wheat flour they received from the #WFP before the aid suspension to bake their bread in primitive, handmade ovens using firewood."

#Israel is a bad country full of bad people. They’re not bad because of their #religion, but bad because they live in a #genocidal #apartheid state whose existence depends on indoctrinating its people into seeing #genocide & apartheid as good. It’s the system”

US President Donald Trump has claimed that not only is he running the US but the whole world, and he is having a lot of fun doing it during his second presidential term.

Trump made these remarks during an interview, marking the successful completion of his first 100 days in office.

”The first time, I had two things to do—run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys,” he stated. “And the second time, I run the country and the world.”

How fascism unleashes the ignorant, racist, scared & revenge-filled men in our societies:

Report: A mob chanting ‘Death to Arabs’ shoved & threw objects at a woman in NY.

The men seemed to believe she was part of an anti-genocide protest, "but it’s been reported she was just a concerned resident."

The mob kept up their attacks even as police tried to protect her (see video).

Emboldened by US "leadership"

Report: A senior Hamas official said on Saturday that Hamas "is prepared to release all remaining hostages at one time in exchange for a five-year cease-fire in Gaza."

"Israel has not yet responded to the report."

"A Hamas delegation met with mediators in Cairo on Saturday to discuss a cease-fire proposal, aiming to achieve a breakthrough in the negotiations."

"We are Jewish academics who have devoted our lives to teaching and research on college campuses. If there were a pervasive culture of antisemitism on campuses, we would know about it, and we would fight it. But we have observed no such thing. Instead, defenders of Israel have spread a lie to distract from and crush dissent over Israel's genocide of Palestinians." -- Academe Blog
