In the latest manifestation of a savage Gaza strategy they call "mowing the grass," Israel has killed from the aloof air at least 212 Palestinians. They include 61 children, 36 women, two doctors, 10 members of one family, 17 of another from age six months to 84 years, and Ahmed al-Mansi, who'd just posted a loving, heartrending video of going to the market to buy toys to soothe his three "sad" kids, jittery from the bombings. "Don't worry," he says as planes rumble above. "Keep playing."

Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
