Israel’s daily bombing of Gaza may have slowed down since a ceasefire was implemented in October, but the destruction and violence have not stopped. In the bombed-out ruins of Gaza, Palestinian refugees who have managed to survive Israel’s genocidal onslaught are clinging to life in tattered tent cities overwhelmed by rats, rain, cold, and illness. In this on-the-ground report from Gaza, 15-year-old refugee Magdy Abu Asr takes you inside the tent city where she and her family are struggling to survive so you can see it for yourself.

Hello, how are you? Today I’m going to introduce myself. My name is Magdy Abu Asr, I’m 15 years old. As you can see, today I’m going to show you the entrance to our tent. We live by the sea. As you can see, today I’m going to show you the entrance to our tent and how we live. We’re right next to the street. Come, let me show you. This is the entrance to our tent. This is our tent’s screen instead of the wall of our house. You can see how it’s torn apart by the wind and the air. Let me also show you the water container. Of course, we don’t carry water here, unlike at home. We used to open the water tank and water would come out. Now you have to carry water from a far place to find water to wash, perform ablution for prayer, or anything

Facing an anti-war heckler on Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance bragged about the Trump administration’s role in implementing a ceasefire agreement in Gaza — a “ceasefire” that human rights groups said this week is an overwhelming failure, as Israel continues to bomb Palestinians on a near-daily basis. As the vice president absurdly warned Pope Leo XIV to “be careful when he talks about…

In Gaza, the effects of war do not end when the bombing stops. Beyond the rubble and debris, a silent health crisis is emerging affecting the most vulnerable, particularly pregnant women and their children. Since the start of Israel’s assault on Gaza in 2023, maternity wards have reported alarming increases in miscarriages, premature births, and rare congenital disabilities.

While the world’s attention is focused on the U.S.-Israeli aggression in Iran and Donald Trump’s genocidal proclamations, Israel is perpetrating genocide in Lebanon. Trump threatened genocide in Iran on April 7, stating, “A whole civilization will die tonight.” The next day, he agreed to a two-week ceasefire. In response, Israel almost immediately intensified its assault on Lebanon…

Welcome to this edition of Rattling the Bars. I’m your host, Mansa Musa. The number of Palestinian detainees in Israel custody has been on the rise. A population now marked by a revolving door where ceasefire releases are being eclipsed by new arrest campaign. Despite the release of nearly 2000 prisoners during the October 2025 ceasefire, or I must say so- called ceasefire, a massive wave of new detentions and occupied territories of Palestine has effectively reset the scales of incarceration. Join us today is Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi, the founding director and senior scholar of the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diaspora Studies Program at SFSU, a Yale educated sociologist. She is the principal investigator of Teaching Palestine. Welcome, doc. How you doing today?
Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi:
I’m okay. I’m okay. I’m as best as could be expected under the terrible conditions that we’re living under.
Mansa Musa:
