5/ "Sanctions regimes exist to deal with situations of ongoing mass abuses like this, to make clear that human rights are non-negotiable and that following orders is never a defense for starving human beings or other grave crimes," said @MikeOmerMan, Israel-Palestine Director at DAWN. "The worst of the famine in Gaza may be over, but children are still starving, and taking action against Alian and Halevy can deter Israeli officials from continuing to keep the people of Gaza barely surviving."

John Ramming Chappell writes that @AkbarSAhmed's "Crossing the Red Line" is a first-of-its-kind account of how Biden's inner circle enabled Israel's genocide in Gaza, reviewing the performance of those officials now angling to return to power.

Jordan's arrest of Jordanian American journalist Ali Younes of @DropSiteNews highlights Amman's fear of dissent at home and abroad. That dissent rejects the state's ties to the U.S., which serve to bolster repression, says Ahmad Hamaideh.

Yemen's pro-government factions and Saudi Arabia have experienced major setbacks against the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen in recent weeks. Those developments are even more difficult for world leaders to ignore today, argues @Harbpeace.

"What this independent investigation underscored was that this" U.S. strike on a school in Minab, Iran "wasn't just a case of negligence ... DAWN, my organization, called from the early days for this to be investigated as a war crime." said @OmarSShakir.

Congratulations to @AkbarSAhmed, whose book, CROSSING THE RED LINE, is out today.
Especially as Biden administration officials try to whitewash their reputations, Akbar's detailed reporting provides a vital resource for those who want to hold them accountable.

Prime Minister Netanyahu's lies about @NYCMayor don't change the fact that Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal who has blocked justice for Americans killed on his watch.
If there's anyone who should be shamed & ashamed, it's him.
He's lucky he was even allowed into our country.
