Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Amnesty Condemns U.S. Support for “Live-Streamed Genocide” in Gaza

HeadlineApr 29, 2025

Amnesty International has accused Israel of carrying out a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza with the support of both major political parties in the United States. That’s part of an assessment in Amnesty’s annual State of the World’s Human Rights report, which is out today. In it, Amnesty’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard writes, “2024 will be remembered for how Israel’s military occupation grew ever more brazen and deadly, for the way the USA, Germany and a handful of other European states supported Israel; the way the USA, under the Biden administration, repeatedly vetoed UN Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire and states continued arms transfers to Israel.”
