From New York, this is democracy now.

We stand with Israel.

We stand with Israel.

We will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens.

It is the right way to prevent itself and respond to this attack.

A shipment of U.S. arms has arrived in Israel as an Israeli ground invasion of Gaza

now appears imminent following Hamas's surprise attack that killed 1,200 people inside Israel.

Meanwhile, the besiege Gaza Strip is facing a humanitarian catastrophe as Israel intensifies

its bombing campaign that's already killed over 1,000 Palestinians.

I've never seen air strikes like this time, not in 2014, not in 2008.

No war was like this time.

I've never seen anything like this every minute and every second there are air strikes.

We'll go to Ramallah and the occupied West Bank to speak with Mustafa Barguiti of the

Palestinian National Initiative and to Tel Aviv to speak with the Israeli journalist

Gideon Levy of Haarez.

Then we host a debate between two leading progressive activists on U.S. funding for the

war in Ukraine.

We'll speak with Barbara Smith of the Ukraine Solidarity Campaign and CodePinks Media

Medea Benjamin.

They'll also discuss U.S. military funding for Israel.

All that and more coming up.

Welcome to democracy now, democracynow.org, the war in peace report, I'm Amy Goodman.
