If aid does not enter to Gaza Strip within the next 48 hours — especially baby formula and flour — then prepare yourselves for the largest mass death crime in history.

Books on Libby have started disappearing.
My friend pointed it out first, and then I started noticing too. Why would books that multiple libraries definitely, 100% had digital access to a couple of months/weeks/days ago disappear?
Amazon is getting exclusive rights to them.
Ebooks that the public library once had digital copies of are now only available through Amazon. Audible boasts on their covers about Audible-exclusive audiobooks that did not used to be Audible-exclusive. Entire series and collections are disappearing overnight.
Keep your eyes on the privatization of media and your libraries.

when i say "famine in gaza is being actively buried" i mean the deliberate starvation policy we have been watching in slow motion for twenty-one months that has reached the mass death stage. it should be headline news everywhere because the entire world has been screaming about it for twenty-one months only to be told to watch their language. this should be the only thing you're talking about, because by next week and for the rest of your life we will remember what was being discussed the week that hundreds (if not thousands) of people in gaza starved to death. it is without exaggeration that dire. already a thousand(!!!) people were killed by americans and israelis trying to get food at aid distribution centers, while at least 70 children have died of starvation, 100 people in total.
meanwhile, this is what america's leading newspaper is talking about:
from Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada' by adam johnson:
So let us compare coverage of the “globalize the intifada” story with that of stories of actual death and actual human stakes in Gaza—objectively major stories that should, I will assert, generate far more outrage and news coverage than whether a mayoral candidate condemns three words he’s never actually said. For the purposes of comparison we will look at The New York Times, the most influential paper in the country, and one month of its coverage for the following topics. Detailed data can be viewed here.
"Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” (June 18 - July 18 2025). The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is a US-Israeli joint production that, according to Amnesty International has "weaponized aid” and resulted in almost daily massacres at the aid sites as thousands of deliberately starved Palestinians line up for minimal food rations. Over 800 aid-seekers have been killed since the fake disrubution sites were set up in May 2025. NYT articles this month: 13.
Starvation as weapon of war in Gaza (June 18 - July 18 2025). Gaza is currently the ‘hungriest place on Earth’ with all of its people at risk of famine, according to the UN. This is a deliberate siege tactic being used by Israel. NYT articles this month: 5
Child “amputee(s)” in Gaza (June 18 - July 18 2025). Gaza is home to, by far, the largest number of child amputees on earth, with over 4,700 cases. They require constant medical and psychological care which is impossible given the broader attacks on Gaza’s almost nonexistent health system. According to Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem Israel actively denies treatment to over a 1000 of these amputees. NYT articles this month: 2
Amnesty International's July Report on Israel using "aid" to facilitate genocide (July 3 2025 - Present):The shocking report details how Israel has deliberately gutted and attacked proven aid channels in favor of its limited “aid” program designed to kill, humiliate and facilitate population transfers. NYT articles on report: 0
February 2024 Flour Massacre that killed 120+ (Feb 29 - March 29 2024). In February 2024, over 120 people were killed while seeking food from aid trucks on the coastal Al-Rashid Street in Gaza City. NYT articles one moth after massacre: 7
"Hind Rajab” (January 29 - March 1 2024) A five-year-old Palestinian girl was murdered by the IDF along with six of her family members and two paramedics, who were gunned down on January 29 2024 by Israel forces as they attempted to rescue her. It made international headlines but barely a blip in US media. NYT articles one month after her killing: 2
Total NYT articles: 29
"Mamdani” and "Globalize(d) the intifada" (June 18 - July 18 2025) NYT articles one month after Mamdani was first asked about “globalize the int ifada”: 32
All told, this means that the New York Times ran more articles about Mamdani and the phrase “globalize the intifada” than it did, during their relevant month time periods, about Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid site killings, starvation in Gaza, child amputees in Gaza, a July 2025 Amnesty International's Report on Israel using "aid" to facilitate genocide, the February 2024 Flour Massacre, and the January 2024 killing of Hind Rajab combined (32 vs 29).

With a single word from Netanyahu, the crossing was closed. With a single word, two million people were starved and buried! We are just numbers in the archives of this dark world. How long will this injustice continue? Our lives in Gaza are like those of prisoners. No food, no water, no electricity, no medical treatment. No basic necessities of life.

Riza-yi 'Abbasi, The Lovers (Isfahan, 1630 CE). The artist Riza‑yi 'Abbasi revolutionized Persian painting and drawing with his inventive use of calligraphic line and unusual palette. He painted The Lovers toward the end of a long, successful career at the Safavid court. The subject of a couple entwined reflects a newly relaxed attitude to sensuality introduced in the reign of Shah Safi (r. 1629–42). Here the figures are inextricably bound together, merged volumes confined within one outline. [Robert Scott Horton]

Holy fuck. We are nearly two years into the genocide, but a ceasefire talk is slipping further away from us. As politicians go back and forth, stalling every second, families are starving with the blockade in place while being targeted from soldiers when they are receiving food and supplies. They are suffering through the unforgiving heat. They are surviving intense bombardment and ground invasions.
This is is not normal. Bombing homes, hospitals, places of worship, shops, schools, and universities is not normal. Restricting aid is not normal. Denying people to swim in the sea is not normal. How much longer can Palestinians go through this? And why are we OK with it? This is why we need to talk about Palestine. Keep boycotting, donating, and protesting!
Please consider helping my dear friend, Suad! She is a computer engineer who has given birth to a baby boy named Khaled last year. He is one year old , learning how to walk and talk, but he is suffering from allergies, intestinal and respiratory infections! She is also caring for her in-laws. Her mother-in-law needs knee replacement surgeries!
GFM has also terminated her fundraiser! If you have donated to her before, kindly request a refund and redirect to the one below! Chuffed is Pro Palestinian, and you can give as little as a dollar!
(Verified: #279) (Donation Match)
Tagging for reach. Please leave a reply if you wish to be removed. Thank you.

When we see a Palestinian close to his goal, let's help him together to get there as soon as possible. We see their dignity being lost on Tumblr, and we see the opposite. We must help them and send them our best wishes.
Enough of the betrayal. Enough of the neglect. Let's return to being like before When the Rafah crossing is opened, these people will be evacuated, including my friend Ibrahim.
