The health ministry has released a 1,516–page document listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians confirmed killed in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. There are a total of 474 pages listing 15,600+ children’s names. The first 27 pages the age is listed as 0 — children under 1 year old
The only thing shocking about this report on Israelis' raping Palestinians is that it has been so buried and ignored as a story in the West. In Israel, they don't hide it. They march for the right to rape. They protest the attempts to hold rapists accountable. Knesset members call it "legitimate." Rabbis bless it. The media covers it.
Journalist notes Jewish supremacist sentiment widespread in Israel, says he regularly receives complaints for covering the constant rain of phlegm that Jews spit at Christians in the old city of Jerusalem: “All the time I’m asked and told, ‘It’s just spitting. Why do you care?’”
what really gets me is mahmoud did everything that administrators claim they want from us. he was always unmasked, he was extremely tactful with his words, was a legal permanent resident, was kind & patient even with those who dehumanized him, always stayed rational & calm.
Judge Furman of the Southern District of New York has ordered that detained Columbia University protest organizer Mahmoud Khalil not be deported and that all parties meet in court on Wednesday in response to Khalil's habeas petition, filed yesterday:
I can only react to this image as I am: a Jew. To make Jewish words and phrases interchangeable with ICE detention is to make Judaism the face of fascism. This has happened in Israel and will happen here if we allow it
The last update from ICE indicated Khalil was at Jena/LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana. Important to note that yesterday ICE database indicated he was still in New Jersey when he was not. His attorney has filed for habeas corpus.
ICE’s arrest of Mahmoud Khalil is an unconstitutional and egregious violation of the First Amendment, and a frightening weaponization of immigration law.
I disagree strongly with things that were said in the protests he reportedly led. But it will not make Jews — or any of us — safer for the federal government to deport people for saying things we may find hateful, as Martin Niemoller reminds us:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
To my colleagues at Columbia: if you were wondering where the rubber hits the road, this is where the rubber hits the road.
I beseech you not to act like this is business as usual or it will indeed become business as usual.
"that the last expulsion for nonviolent political protest was in 1936 when Robert Burke was expelled for rallying against Columbia’s ties to Nazism."
