This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opini…

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth published a report on Christian persecution in Israel and the West Bank. "The spitting and humiliation [of Christians] are daily. People are afraid to walk in Jerusalem with Christian symbols."

Er stößt sie von hinten zu Boden und tritt auf sie ein: In Jerusalems Altstadt hat ein offenbar jüdischer Mann eine Nonne angegriffen. Der Tatverdächtige wurde festgenommen, ihm wird laut Medienberichten ein »rassistisch motivierter Angriff« vorgeworfen. spiegel.de/ausland/israel-ju…

Israel quietly issued new maps that show its forces now control nearly two-thirds of Gaza, with a new orange line extending beyond the area agreed to in the October ceasefire reut.rs/4cWaYBb

Zwischen der Dormitio (linke Mauer) und Abendmahlssaal (rechte Mauer): Kann nicht mehr zählen, wie oft mich genau dort jüdische Extremisten schon beschimpft, bespuckt und angegriffen haben. Sich als Mann an einer Ordensfrau zu vergreifen, hat aber eine neue abgründigere Qualität!

Israeli 'double-tap' strike kills three rescue workers in Lebanon, officials say bbc.in/4uhFYma

I know humans who got sentenced for this sort of thing.

Today, armed Israeli settlers, protected by the Israeli army, stormed the Christian town of Beit Sahour, opened fire on civilians, and blocked residents from reaching their land. In the Jabal Harasha area, settlers assaulted a man on his own property. He was injured and taken to the hospital. Where is the global outrage? Where are the Christian leaders? Where are the churches? Christians in the Holy Land are facing an ethnic cleansing campaign. Act before it is too late.

Israel Prison Service restricts Palestinian inmates' access to medical equipment haaretz.com/israel-news/2026…

Dass die Berliner CDU ausgerechnet die Antisemitismusprävention korrumpiert hat, ist ein ungeheurer Skandal - weil es eine gefährliche, reale Judenfeindlichkeit gibt. Der Skandal ist aber auch ein Effekt der Instrumentalisierung und Aushöhlung des Antisemitismus-Begriffs.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue. She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March. She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.

🔴 NOW: Reports of settler terrorists attacking a Palestinian school in Al-Mughayyir, the West Bank. Two Palestinians were killed, including a child. Several more people are injured.

Two Palestinians, one of them a 14-year-old child, were shot and killed by Israeli settlers this morning in the Al-Mughayyir. Israeli outposts surround the village on almost all sides, and its residents face violent raids on a daily basis. For nearly three years, the military has blocked most access routes to the village and prevented locals from accessing their privately owned farmland. Settlers exploit these military restrictions to seize land and establish illegal, violent outposts. The only road the army has left open to the village is controlled by one outpost, and people using it are regularly attacked. In October 2023, Israel distributed approximately 8,000 firearms to Israeli citizens living in the West Bank, including to civilians who were not on active reserve duty. Many of these weapons remain in settlers’ hands to this day, without adequate oversight. Photo: courtesy of the village council.
