New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever. Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car. Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother. In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.

The DSA speaking out against Mamdani…. Is the Knicks game three… close but no cigar and heavily influenced by whose in the building.
Very irritated about this. I hope @nycDSA leadership will speak out about this.

Another stolen land sale is happening tonight at a right wing synagogue, Young Israel of Jamaica Estates. In Queens, where its defenders are already promising gun violence. instagram.com/bukhariancommu…

So just checking some facts. What dictionary is he using to define ā€œeveryoneā€ if that doesn’t include Jews?! 🫩
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt just went on Shai Davidai's podcast to rant about the "pathology of victimhood,ā€ liberalism, and intersectionality. As Jews committed to stopping antisemitism and protecting democracy & civil liberties, Greenblatt’s attitude completely undermines the fight against Jew hatred. 🧵

And this is exactly it. Show the cards. This isn’t about kids and it’s not about houses of worship. It’s using Jews as a shield to suppress our constitutional rights.
A veto of basic protections for Jewish New Yorkers tells you everything you need to know about the direction of this city. Yesterday, I made it clear: the Attorney General has the authority to act right now. When elected, I will.

You’re being disingenuous, there are already very clearly outlined rules for blocking the sidewalk and building entrances generally. How about some education on the laws already existing before you try to chill free speech?
Ensuring students and congregants can enter and exit their schools and houses of worship without fear of harassment or intimidation should not be controversial. The safe access bills simply require the NYPD to clearly outline how they will ensure safe access when there are threats of obstruction or physical injury, while fully protecting First Amendment rights.

This is a gross misrepresentation of the bill. As a former union organizer w/@MOREcaucusUFT and a school SWer protesting in front of schools is what finally caused the @NYCSchools to close due to the covid pandemic. Protest protected and saved kids lives!
My statement on the Mayor's veto of my Safe Access to Schools legislation.

And this right here getting erased from the entire deed theft narrative is the biggest flag of anti-blackness still pervasive in this city by all politicians congratulating themselves today on a job well done.

The strongest political force in New York is the NYPD. Any serious organizing in this city has to contend with that fact.

This right here.
Chi Osse on Zohran Mamdani: ā€œI hate this narrative around this mayor not being a mayor for Black people. The last mayor was Black and he didn’t do crap on deed theft.ā€

4.23 Action at Governor Hochul’s Manhattan office. Witnessed dozens of people who love this city enough to put their bodies on the line try and convince our Governor to *mildly inconvenience* people who can’t even be bothered to pay their fair share. Tax the Rich.

We need more listener sponsored radio like @WBAI corporate media has gone off the rails.
The free press is under attack, and monopolizing mergers like the Warner Bros-Paramount deal will further reduce trust and independence in media. This will increase CEO profits while hurting creators and consumers alike. #BlockTheMerger

"Little progress comes without protest...We have to be able to protect safety without prohibiting speech." Hear from the Public Advocate on why we support @NYCMayor's veto of Intro 175-B as written, as its broad language would have had a chilling effect: advocate.nyc.gov/press/nyc-p…

And this is what was meant by Julian Casablanca’s subway take. It doesn’t diminish the reality and actual fear that antisemitism is increasing and has deadly consequences but for the vast majority of Jews… we iight for now.
This guy is a hero: ā€œAs a Jew I’d say there’s nothing hard about being Jewish right now. Palestinians are being genocided. Lebanese are being genocided. Iranians are being bombed by a genocidal entity called Israel & any Jew to make this about themselves is wildly out of touch.ā€

Thankful he’s coming through and doing the right thing. It’s half the battle but we gotta sustain the veto and deal with the houses of worship bill he didn’t.
So it seems like @NYCMayor has union, civil rights groups, immigrant groups and Jewish groups applauding his veto of @JulieMenin's @NYCCouncil's ridiculous Trump-aligned ban on free speech in and near our schools. Love to @MaketheRoadNY @JFREJNYC @1199SEIU @CWAUnion @DoctorsCouncil @NationalNurses @ACLU @NYCLU @jewishaction for seeing right through this.
