FEATURING RUPA MARYA - Israel has admitted to responsibility for dropping a bomb on an ambulance outside Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, claiming that Hamas forces were using it for transport. Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure is on the point of collapse as healthcare workers and facilities are stretched beyond capacity amidst an unfolding bloodbath, treating casualties with dwindling supplies and often no power.  In a new op-ed for YES! Magazine, physicians Ghassan Abu-Sitta and Rupa Marya, write, “This is an engineered catastrophe designed to maximize human suffering,” and that “The work of rehumanization is the medicine we urgently need.”

FEATURING CHRISTINE AHN & MARIE BERRY - Hillary Clinton, former Senator and State Secretary, recently made headlines for dismissing campus protesters against the genocide in Gaza as being ignorant of the history of the Middle East. Liberal feminists like Clinton have often equated freedom for women with war making.

FEATURING ARUN GUPTA - The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor has said he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli politicians including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the crime of genocide, and Hamas leaders, for other war crimes. Mr. Netanyahu remains defiant, as does U.S. President Joe Biden, who called the charges against the Israeli leader “outrageous.” Biden just gave the commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, a Historically Black university, where some students silently protested his policy of continuing to arm Israel.

FEATURING LAJWARD ZAHRA - The campus protests that swept the nation in recent weeks are as clear a sign as any that young people are politically aware, active, and willing to put their bodies on the line for their beliefs.
