There may be a ceasefire in Gaza, but Israel has not stopped killing Palestinian families in 2026. An estimated 630 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the ceasefire took place last October. Today, Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world, and both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have accused Israel of committing genocide since 2024.

Please consider donating to UNRWA, a UN agency providing critical healthcare services and shelter to Palestinian refugees in Gaza.

Stories at Blurred Bylines

I started Blurred Bylines in late 2016 because I needed a space to write about the issues I felt were important during that election year. And while this organization has expanded to offer SEO services for businesses and nonprofits, the real heart of BB is found in these stories. 

You’ll notice there are no 3rd-party advertising sources or reading restrictions of any kind, such as a paywall, on these articles. The goals of the stories you read here are to be well-sourced, accurate pieces of information designed to outrank lower-quality sources that may feature misleading or even outright misinformation. My intention is to offer empathy and historical context to these topics in an online ecosystem that rarely rewards such coverage.
