[Opinion] The famine in Gaza: When a nibble of food is stolen from the hungry
For many long months, the Gaza Strip has been groaning under the weight of a devastating war; one that has left no stone unturned, no heart untouched by sorrow, and no home untainted by the scent of death. Hunger was never a passing guest in this besieged land, but in this war, it has become the dominant force, creeping into exhausted bodies and gripping the hearts of mothers who find nothing to feed their children. In this corner of the earth, famine has become an undeniable reality.

(Islamophobia) Leaked Chats Show Pro-Israel Extremist Group Betar Organizing Street Confrontations
Founded as a paramilitary Zionist organization in 1923, Betar Worldwide has a prominent far-right chapter in the US that has aided the Trump administration’s deportation efforts by doxxing and agitating against pro-Palestine organizers.The chat logs show its members, including individuals publicly affiliated with Betar US, discussing a range of plans and ideas: to protest at mosques, burn Qurans to provoke confrontations, and coordinate buying pepper spray, lasers, and other illicit devices to confront pro-Palestine protests in New York City.
In that same chat, others shared that they are collecting information on pro-Palestine activists to forward to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as well as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Garb, a professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, found in an analysis published earlier this month on Harvard Dataverse that most of Gaza’s population cannot access these centers in a safe and practical way. Doing so requires crossing the dangerous Netzarim Corridor, entering a buffer zone from which Israel has banned them from entering, or a long walk across a barren rubble field, while carrying a heavy box of food."
