We’ve been covering settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank for years.
But yesterday, we found ourselves on the menu.
A group of masked settlers beat our team and pummelled the 51 year old woman we were interviewing unconscious.
We’re all ok now - and Aida is out of the hospital - but this is just one incident among an unprecedented surge in settler violence across the West Bank.
Here’s out story on yesterday’s attack on Sunday Today on @NBCNews.
#Israel #WestBank @TODAYshow
So @benshapiro put out a video asking me to explain why his new movie is Islamophobic, challenged me to name more than 5 movies with Muslim villains, & called me a "terror-hugger" & "spokesperson for Qatar."
Here's my response to Shapiro's gaslighting, with lots of receipts:
#BREAKING: Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon, Israel's chief hostage negotiator, says that hostages held by Hamas could have "come back alive" but the Netanyahu government repeatedly turned down truce deals on the altar of "the lie" of "total victory."
@UnxeptableD
It's obvious to point out attacks against Muslims get ignored - but still needs repeatedly calling out.
An Antisemitic attack should be reported and action taken.
But where is the same media outrage, cobra meetings and calling of national emergency when 5 Muslims are attacked?
Israeli soldiers shot a 7 month old baby dead.
They then lied about it.
This is what the Israeli state does.
They commit war crimes, lie about it, commit more war crimes, lie about it, in an endless cycle of murderous horror.
"It brings me no pleasure to compare what Israel is doing to what the Nazis did, but how can we not? When you have things like ghettos, starvation, concentration camps and planned systematic extermination of people"

Rape with objects. Gang rape. Rape by trained dogs. Targeted genital shooting. Filmed. Photographed. Archived by the perpetrators. Across 12 named Israel detention sites.
The UN calls it a pattern. B’Tselem calls it a network of torture camps. Both are correct.
While we’re talking about document releases… Back in 2025, Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, was allowed to block emails he sent to Israeli politicians from being published. This process created a clear conflict of interest. No wonder public trust in our political system is on the wane.
3 white English boys raped a young girl at knifepoint. Judge Nicholas Rowland let them walk free, telling them "you done very well."
No outrage from the "English patriots?" The "Reform voters?"
No outrage & even less news coverage. Why?
Because they are white, English rapists.
“Four young teenage boys were brought in, all of whom had been shot in the testicles.”
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Nick Maynard, a British surgeon who has worked repeatedly in Gaza since 2010, describes a pattern of shootings at food distribution points where children were shot in specific body parts on different days.
“The pattern of injuries that we all witnessed was so striking, that it was it was clearly beyond coincidental, and it seemed to us that there was a game of target practice.”
He also details quadcopters hovering over tents and spraying bullets indiscriminately, and recounts the death of six neonates left in incubators at Al-Nasr pediatric hospital after Israeli forces evacuated the hospital and left them to rot.
Billy Allison, the original founder of Raise the Colours, has been charged with murder and grievous bodily harm with intent after a man was badly beaten in a bar in Lichfield on Sunday. The victim died in hospital yesterday from his injuries.
He's due to appear in court today.
NEW: Former Israeli soldier Jonathan Kestenbaum has resigned as a director of Labour Together.
Last month, I uncovered the “IDF diary” of the Labour peer. Now, he’s stepping down.
Here’s what happened:🧵
Don’t like people wearing watermelon pins at your shitty medical conference?
Don’t care.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” makes you feel scared?
Don’t care.
Seeing Palestinian flags on university campuses upsets you?
Don’t care.
A student calling Israel an apartheid state hurts your little feelings?
Don’t care.
A doctor speaking publicly about Palestinian children being massacred feels “divisive” to you?
Fuck you.
People refusing to condemn Palestinian resistance makes you uneasy?
Don’t care.
Hearing the word “genocide” feels inflammatory to you?
Don’t care.
A keffiyeh in a workplace gives you a panic attack?
Don’t care.
“Globalise the intifada” sounds genocidal to you?
Don’t care.
People interrupting politicians feels disrespectful to you?
Don’t care.
You no longer being able to monopolise victimhood makes you angry?
Truly could not care less.
What I care about are the Palestinian children being burned alive.
The doctors being tortured.
The families erased under rubble.
The starvation.
The concentration camps.
The destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and universities and refugee camps and entire civilian infrastructure.
But for the nearly last 1,000 days and decades prior, Western institutions have demanded everyone stop and carefully tend to Jewish emotional discomfort instead.
Not Palestinian lives.
Not Palestinian suffering.
Not Palestinian speech.
Zionist discomfort.
Zionist fragility.
Zionist political sensitivity—elevated, enforced, and institutionalised across universities, hospitals, media outlets, professional associations, politicians, donors, and advocacy groups.
All working in sync to transform Zionist discomfort into institutional emergency.
While Palestinian suffering is rendered invisible.
While Palestinian speech is disciplined.
While Palestinian humanity is treated as negotiable.
That is the function of the Jewish Feelings Industrial Complex.
Not safety.
Not care.
Not protection.
Institutionalised Zionist emotional management at scale.
Fuck every single institution that constantly weaponizes “Jewish safety,” “Jewish discomfort,” and “Jewish feelings” to justify censorship, repression, career destruction, anti-Palestinian racism, and silence in the face of mass atrocity.
If a watermelon pin destabilises you more than the annihilation of Gaza, the problem is not the watermelon pin.
The problem is you.

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: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO
