"In 2024, UNICEF and partners . provided treatment to 36,254 children [under 5] with wasting, including 6,872 with severe wasting" in Gaza. In 2025, "UNICEF and partners . treated nearly 100,000 children with wasting . 19,000 children were treated for severe wasting" in Gaza. Unforgivable.
The ICJ will hold public hearings on preliminary objections in Nicaragua v. Germany on September 7-10. Nicaragua alleges that Germany is complicit in genocide and failed to ensure respect for IHL in Gaza. Germany argues the claims are inadmissible because Israel is an 'indispensable third party'.

As an aside, the Biden Administration's refusal to apply generally applicable arms control laws to Israel convinced many of the necessity of Israel-specific arms restrictions. The November 2024 Senate vote is mostly forgotten, but it was a sign of things to come.
Jon Finer, Biden’s deputy national-security adviser said that, for both Hamas and Israel, “civilian harm was not a side effect but part of the strategy.” The U.S., he said, “shouldn’t tolerate wars in which civilian harm is a goal, [or] allow our weapons to be used for that purpose.”
In March 2024, the President of the ICRC warned Biden that failing to “uphold minimum standards of humanity” would be a “moral defeat” that “future generations are unlikely to forgive us for failing to avert.” Unforgivable.

A growing majority of Argentines have a negative view of Israel and Netanyahu. So just enjoy the game.
This illegal war must stop. The American people don't want it. Congress never authorized it. It is not making us safer. We are killing civilians. Our soldiers are dying. For nothing. Just end it.
$48 million in PAC money and they used a single quote instead of an apostrophe
"None of the AIPAC-tied ads in the race mention Israel." Instead, the show a 2018 clip of Obama to mislead Black voters into thinking he's endorsed her. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/u...
Haley Stevens has received "$28 million in advertising help from the nation’s leading pro-Israel super PAC," and "another $20 million in help from four other super PACs with undisclosed donors." All to win one Senate primary race.
"The ICC's perverse attempts to encroach on the sovereignty of States, including some on this Council ..." He's talking about Russia. An absolute disgrace.
The Nelson Mandela Foundation has selected, as its 2026 Distinguished Lecturer, the mayor of my charming town.
"Israeli soldiers ordered the drivers to dismount and one of them shot Esleem in the head when his hands were raised."
"Five super PACs have spent a combined $32 million to back [Stevens], including two groups tied to AIPAC." In one Senate primary. The UK Conservative Party spent $31 million in the 2024 general election. The entire Party. The entire election.
More Jewish Americans have a favorable view of Zohran Mamdani (44%) than of Josh Shapiro (41%). Alas, Zohran has higher unfavorables (39 to 21), while many have no opinion of Shapiro. Nevertheless ... apnorc.org/wp-content/u...
Bernie Sanders, the most popular active politician in the United States, is not mentioned in this article on democratic socialism. Bernie has a +26 favorability among moderates, which is unheard of these days. DSA should print "Socialist Like Bernie" t shirts and keep it moving.
"Five super PACs have spent a combined $32 million to back [Stevens], including two groups tied to AIPAC." In a Senate primary. The *entire* UK Conservative Party spent $31 million in the *entire* 2024 general election.
Michigan primary voters now face a tough, binary choice: The doctor who likes universal health care or whatever this is

"The truth . is that America is exceptional because here, nothing is fixed into place. The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first enshrined in the Declaration of Independence . endures . and it belongs to us all" tinyurl.com/2jw52637
George Washington enslaved two human beings listed as "Fatima" and "Little Fatima," presumably mother and daughter. Washington then sold one of them, probably the mother, separating them forever. They were among the roughly 600 human beings Washington enslaved. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLRC...
"To me, democratic socialism is people who want to extend democracy into more aspects of our lives - into workplaces and communities and schools and health care - so folks have more say over their lives. That's the opposite of totalitarianism."
