Netanyahu is lobbying for Section 224 in the national defense bill, a provision that quietly expands U.S.-Israel military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight. The American people do not want more U.S. military aid to Israel. We must defeat Section 224.

Prosecutors in Rome are investigating allegations including kidnapping, torture and sexual assault against Israeli Min of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, who filmed himself abusing flotilla activists, including Italians. haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…

If 9 Israelis had been burnt alive yesterday, they’d have called it a barbaric & savage antisemitic massacre. When Israel burns alive 9 Palestinians to death, they call it a ceasefire.

The Passover Haggadah, the text directing the Seder, defines evil as knowingly removing yourself from the collective and notifying everyone that "their" rules don't apply to you. People like @AriFleischer make Judaism (and American spirit) evil. Don't let them.

UNC’s Board of Trustees has once again inserted itself into the tenure process, this time rejecting the tenure nomination of Dr. Kiran Asher after months of faculty review and approval at multiple levels of the University. Tenure decisions should be grounded in academic expertise, transparent process, and shared governance. Read more at the link. ow.ly/UP6E50Z7kJb #UNC #HigherEd

Gideon Levy: «Ora che il genocidio è giunto al termine e la #Striscia di Gaza è stata quasi completamente distrutta, Israele sta avanzando con determinazione verso la fase successiva e [la soluzione finale del genocidio]: rendere l'intera popolazione di Gaza permanentemente invalida, ferita, malata, disabile, affamata, senza tetto e [senza futuro], malata e disoccupata».

Trump is as good at securing ceasefires as smokers are at quitting smoking

US State Dept found sexual abuse allegations of a Palestinian child in Israeli prison credible some time ago. Yet ppl want to believe that what Nicholas Kristoff reports today is a lie. The denial of reality is disturbing.

Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means. His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide. Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers. Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations. Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered. theguardian.com/politics/202…

The main road to Nabatieh, Lebanon

This passage from Leo's Encyclical is perfect. Perfect.

Even for someone immersed in the subject, it gets you to see a familiar reality in a completely new way. Whether you are journalist, scholar, historian, human rights campaigner, activist, policy maker, lawyer, or student, you'll benefit from reading this book.

"Tel Aviv is witnessing rare civil disobedience. A group of Israeli refuseniks are burning their draft papers on the main street. The reason for refusal: 'We will not kill children in Palestine and Lebanon.' The penalty: military prison. But they insist on going to prison rather than enlisting."

While Jewish extremists attacked and harassed Palestinian Christians and Muslims in Jerusalem, other Jewish activists were distributing flowers to people. One group chose hate and violence. The other chose love and peace.

"Israel was constructed on the ruins of another society. You cannot continue to victimize somebody else just because you were a victim once." Prof. Edward Said Palestinian-American academic, literary critic, and political activist.

"Muerte a los árabes, violaremos a sus mujeres". Esto es lo que decían los sionistas, incluido niños, durante la "Marcha del Día de Jerusalén" de hoy, en el aniversario de la Nakba y de la invasión a Jerusalén. Gritan sobre limpieza étnica, violación de mujeres, genocidio... esto es lo que la TV nunca te enseñará de "Israel", esta es su enferma sociedad colonial racista y supremacista.

Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi was recently released from Israeli prison, where he was held for a year without charge and without a trial. He lost around half his body weight behind bars. “It was a real hell,” he tells @JDiamond1, in this heart-wrenching report.

Today, we are trapped within an area of only 133 square kilometers out of #Gaza’s original 365. Yellow lines chase us, and new orange lines are drawn every day over what remains of our lives. We sleep beside new borders and wake up to even newer ones devouring our land and pushing us into the unknown. This war is no longer only about bombing and hunger our homeland has been reduced to shrinking squares closing in on us, until even survival itself needs a place.

Rutgers University has cancelled the scheduled commencement address by Rami Elghandour--a prominent alum, a tech entrepreneur, and executive producer of an Oscar-nominated film--because he posted reports by human rights groups documenting Israeli violations of international humanitarian law.
