Amid a new war in Gaza, the Arab Street moves online. "You don’t see many people out on the streets in protest these days, but I would say that social media is the mass protest." ⁦@VivianHYee⁩ ⁦@monaelnaggar⁩ https://t.co/irabOBMgyP — PolitiTweet.org

"They bombed the house without warning and without any reason. There were civilians in it who do not deserve what happened": Even as Israel says it targets Hamas infrasructure, its bombardment of Gaza has killed families. ⁦@iHaZeMi⁩ @LovedayM⁩ https://t.co/V8fMFyUtGm — PolitiTweet.org

Tel Aviv, a city of skateboards, surfing and electric scooters, has long been considered a hedonistic bubble. But it has been targeted by more intense rocket fire than before, sending beachgoers fleeing and forcing restaurants to close. ⁦@IKershner⁩ https://t.co/Y8uq6LUb72 — PolitiTweet.org

Hamas has fired more than 3,000 rockets toward Israeli cities and towns. And while Israel says it tries to avoid civilians it has subjected Gaza to such intense bombardment that it likely constitutes disproportionate use of force, says ⁦@declanwalsh⁩ https://t.co/49z4lfWDLm — PolitiTweet.org

With violence in Israel and the Palestinian territories forcing the issue back to the forefront of US politics, divisions between the leadership of the Democratic Party and the activist wing have burst into public view. ⁦@llerer⁩ ⁦@jennymedina⁩ https://t.co/G5BxsZhHpw — PolitiTweet.org

A month ago, Israeli police cut cables to loudspeakers at Aqsa Mosque to keep prayers from interrupting the Israeli president's speech at the Western Wall. From there conflict escalated into the worst eruption of violence in years. ⁦@PatrickKingsley⁩ https://t.co/Myz39EhdJx — PolitiTweet.org

For Biden, who watched one president after another struggle to manage tensions in the region, it is one more unwelcome challenge when he would rather be focused on his domestic legislative agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing that makes the latest clash between Israel and Hamas so different from any in recent years is the eruption of violence within Israel between its own Arab and Jewish citizens. For the first time in a long time, Israelis fear a civil war. — PolitiTweet.org
