Rana was six months pregnant when she realized she was going into premature labor and called an ambulance. Israeli soldiers at an illegal military checkpoint blocked her ambulance from reaching the hospital. She did not make it to the hospital in time, and her baby died.
“The settlers have become so emboldened that they even dug up the stones marking the graves of our children. They removed the barbed-wire fence surrounding the cemetery and displaced the grave markers without any religious, moral, or legal restraint.”
Israel bombed a mosque and a refugee camp that was sheltering hundreds of Palestinians in tents in Gaza yesterday. Israel is violating the so-called “ceasefire” nearly every single day with weapons paid for by US tax dollars.
“Words cannot describe what we went through.” 60 Palestinians who were kidnapped and held captive by Israel have returned from its torture camps where over 9,600 Palestinians, including children, are being beaten, starved, and sexually assaulted.
“In Gaza, it is the complete obliteration of cities and towns and annihilation of families off the registry. And in the West Bank, it is taking different methods and forms, and that is through the use of the Israeli settler, military and judicial system.”
Israel is attempting to steal Palestinian archaeological sites from the people that have cared for them for generations. Israel is stealing these historical sites on Palestinian land in an attempt to erase Palestinian heritage and identity.
Violent Israeli settlers set fire to a Palestinian mosque in the West Bank before going from house to house in the town, smashing windows and setting them on fire. This is how Israeli settlers try to violently force Palestinians off their own land.
Israel has systematically targeted childhood in Gaza by bombing their homes and schools and killing their parents and siblings. After three years of genocide, Palestinians in Gaza have restarted children’s swimming classes to allow kids to reclaim their childhood.
“Some of the settlers are themselves part of the Israeli military. [...] They are armed by the military. Many are trained by the military. They’re all using US-provided arms. So this distinction is not a very important one. They are all supported by the Israeli state.”
Israeli politicians led a mob of over 3,200 right-wing Israelis in invading the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, one of Islam’s holiest sites. Israel’s leaders want to take over the mosque compound and kick Palestinians out of their capital city of Jerusalem for good.
“The children were having fun, playing football, and suddenly they started screaming.” In flagrant violation of the so-called “ceasefire,” Israel is still bombing Palestinian hospitals and homes in Gaza.
Israeli settlers set fire to farmland belonging to a Palestinian family in the West Bank today in an attempt to ethnically cleanse them off their land. When two men from the family tried to save their land and put the fires out, Israeli soldiers killed them.
“Being a doctor is not a crime.” Israel has been holding celebrated Palestinian pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya captive in torture camps for 19 months after kidnapping him from his post as director of a hospital in Gaza.
Israeli leaders are paving the way to building a crocodile-infested trench around Israeli prisons. In those prisons, Israel holds thousands of Palestinians captive—many without charge or trial—and subjects them to widespread starvation, torture, and abuse.
For decades, Palestinian children have gone swimming at The Solomon Pools, an ancient water reservoir near Bethlehem. Israel wants to steal the Solomon Pools and the Palestinian land they’re on—so its military has been firing teargas at Palestinian children while they swim.
Today Israel killed two Palestinian parents and their four children in Gaza, bombing their home as they slept. Israel is using US taxpayer dollars to wipe out Palestinian families with impunity. Palestinians deserve to raise their children in freedom and safety, free from Israel’s endless bombings.
Israel is continuing to break the ceasefire almost everyday: since October 2025, Israel has killed at least 1,168 Palestinians in Gaza with no accountability. Palestinians in Gaza have responded with a digital campaign called #TheyLiedToYou to bring the eyes of the world back to Gaza.
Israel’s prisons have always operated as torture camps, where thousands of Palestinians have been subjected to crimes against humanity, and countless have been murdered. Israel cannot be allowed to continue committing crimes against humanity on a daily basis with total impunity.
