    "The first time he spoke to #PopeFrancis during the pontiff’s nightly calls to the Holy Family Catholic church in #Gaza City, the congregant George Antone, 44, found himself at a loss for words.

    It was October 2023, a few weeks after #Hamas ignited a devastating war in the Gaza Strip by attacking #Israel. The #Palestinian territory’s tiny Christian community had taken shelter in the strip’s three churches, but that didn’t mean they were safe. An #Israeli airstrike had just hit the Greek Orthodox church, killing 18 people; soon, snipers and bombs would also kill civilians at the Holy Family."

    "Over 14,500 children have been killed since October 2023, according to the health ministry. Of the 1.9 million people — 9 out of 10 residents in Gaza — who have been internally displaced, half of them are children... Many of the children who survived, belong to a new generation of Palestinian orphans."

  3. Israel Loosened Its Rules to Bomb #Hamas Fighters, Killing Many More Civilians

    Surprised by Oct. 7 and fearful of another attack, #Israel weakened safeguards meant to protect noncombatants, allowing officers to endanger up to 20 people in each airstrike. One of the deadliest bombardments of the 21st century followed.

  4. from #CommonDreams
    Opinion
    Supporters of #Palestinian Rights Were Victorious at the #Democratic Convention

    Despite the hurt and pain of seeing the plight of those suffering in #Gaza sidelined at the #DNC, the entire saga represented a win—one we must recognize and embrace, and on which we must now build.
