Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Palestinian Medic Who Survived Israeli Massacre of Medical Workers Released from Israeli Jail

Israel has released a jailed Gaza paramedic who survived a deadly attack on medical workers last month. Assaad al-Nassasra was among at least 10 Palestinians released from an Israeli prison into Gaza Tuesday — all of them in poor physical and psychological health, after they reported being tortured. Al-Nassasra was imprisoned without charge and held incommunicado for 37 days, after he survived the March 23 assault in which 15 of his fellow aid workers were killed by Israeli troops and buried in an unmarked mass grave — some of them bound and with gunshot wounds to the head and chest.
