"The IDF confirmed" [fill in the blank with whatever accusation Israel makes about Palestinians] is not a legitimate source, nor a real confirmation of anything. In fact, there is a high probability it is an entirely false piece of propaganda, as has been proven time and again.

Red Crescent Worker Who Survived Israeli Massacre tells @dropsitenews.com: “He was in the pit…The soldiers were surrounding us. He was tied up, blindfolded and stripped of his clothes except his undershorts. That was the last time I saw him.” By Kavitha Chekuru www.dropsitenews.com/p/red-cresce...

dropsitenews.comVIDEO: Donald Trump and Germany Are Using the Same Playbook to Criminalize Pro-Palestine ActivismListen now | A leading German lawyer fighting his country’s criminalization of pro-Palestine speech digs deep into Germany’s pro-Israel laws and how the US is embracing its tactics

Israel is relentlessly bombing Gaza. Since early this morning, more than 40 Palestinians confirmed killed in Israeli attacks. Among the targets was an UNRWA clinic housing displaced people in Jabalia, killing at least 19. Children among the dead.

Since Israel resumed its terror bombing of Gaza on March 18, every day we see images of small children with their heads or limbs blown off by U.S. weapons. Doctors having to cut holiday clothes off of children in a desperate attempt to save them. Amputations without anesthesia.

A source close to the Palestinian negotiations told me the proposal Hamas accepted is based on a U.S. proposal Steve Witkoff made earlier, including releasing 5 Israelis in return for a resumption of technical negotiations on Phase 2. Among them U.S. citizen Edan Alexander

The source added that Palestinian negotiators are not optimistic Israel will accept the deal without issuing its own demands. Israel has repeatedly added terms to which it knows Hamas will not agree.

Al Hayya also emphasized Hamas’s position that Gaza should be run by Palestinians (an independent technocratic committee) and that the issue of disarmament cannot be considered as long as the Israeli occupation continues.

Amid a total siege and massive bombing, people in Gaza are on the brink of starvation as they search for food, water, and basic goods. Rasha Abou Jalal reports from Gaza City. “Hunger is crueler than guilt. I didn’t choose this path—it was forced on us."

Rasha is not just a journalist. She is a mother of five and was recently nearly killed in an Israeli air strike that destroyed an adjacent home, killing another family. She and her husband and their children are also struggling to survive as she reports these stories.

All of us should be standing in solidarity with these brave Palestinian journalists of Gaza. They are doing the world a public service as they pay an unconscionable price.

“First, They Came for Mahmoud Khalil” — Meghnad Bose and two student journalists at Columbia deeply report the story of a man whose journey took him from being a "double refugee" to scholar to political prisoner. Read at @dropsitenews.com 🔽 www.dropsitenews.com/p/mahmoud-kh...

dropsitenews.com“First, They Came for Mahmoud Khalil”Those close to him tell the story of a man whose journey took him from being a "double refugee" to scholar to political prisoner.

NEWS: In the civil lawsuit brought by Mahmoud Khalil and other students against Columbia, a judge has just issued a temporary restraining order to block the university from handing over private disciplinary records to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

The order extends to March 25, and then the judge will determine if the injunction will be extended. The judge has not yet ruled on the other motions filed, including ones asking for injunctions against the Trump admin.

Khalil’s lawyers asked the judge to issue a preliminary injunction directing Columbia not to respond to the directives from the Trump admin. and to prevent “the federal government from illegally enlisting Columbia University into punishing and suppressing a viewpoint federal officials do not like.”

Jeremy Scahill@jeremyscahill.com

This is the letter sent to Columbia University by the Trump Administration demanding it implement directives as a condition to even negotiate federal funding. Clear case of "jawboning" in an effort to crush free speech and academic freedom.
