If you can’t see the connection between what’s happening in Palestine and what is going on here, I don’t know what to tell you. In fact, many of these people were likely trained is Israel on their tactics.
Her daughter, 5 years old, was starving.
She walked to the US/Israel so called distribution point.
Israeli soldiers shot her dead in front of her 12 year son and daughter.
This story is crazy, but likely only the tip of the iceberg in terms of political suppression directed at the student movement. More will come out over the years. When we said this is the worst crackdown on dissent in the US since the McCarthy era we may have been underselling it
BREAKING: Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles. California isn’t backing down, this is a full-blown standoff with the feds.
Who says the Palestine lab isn't thriving?
Israeli sales hit a record high with most going to Europe, Arab autocracies and Asian dictatorships (along with India):
"Annual Israeli arms sales reached a new record in 2024, for the fourth consecutive year, amounting to double the value of exports of five years ago, according to Defense Ministry figures released Wednesday.
"The ministry’s International Defense Cooperation Directorate, known as SIBAT, said defense exports totaled nearly $14.8 billion last year, up from $13 billion in 2023 — the previous record high. Between 2018 and 2020, that number hovered between $7.5 billion and $8.5 billion."

This means ordinary people remain worse off whilst the rich continue to make record-breaking profits from the labour of the working class.
Our teams joined the mass casualty response in Nasser hospital, Gaza, today, after another disastrous food distribution resulted in people getting shot by Israeli forces. Hear from patients:

resounding rejection by the neighbors and patrons. The community spontaneously protested the ICE agents. ICE discharged 3 flash-bang grenades to disperse the crowd. The people instead pushed ICE agents out of their community forcing the vehicles to retreat, shouting anti-
Losing workplace protections for cis lesbian and pregnant women on the back of anti-trans legislation. Who could have predicted this besides every single person
Tomorrow is 5-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Police killed more people each year since and police budgets increased each year. One legacy is the reactionary propaganda by liberal elites in news and academia to normalize mass militarized surveillance and punishment:
What is striking about this type of news is that when an Israeli dies, you learn the sad details, that he had a family, children, a cat, a dog... But when a Palestinian is murdered, he has no family, no story, nothing.
ICE has rejected the request by Mahmoud Khalil to have a "contact visit" with his newborn so he can hold his baby for the first time.
Khalil is not charged with any crime yet remains held behind bars for speaking against Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
It’s hard to overstate how extraordinary this is. Aid organization trucks are all lined up and ready to enter and Israel has not allowed them into Gaza for ~75 days. There is no way to describe this as anything other than the active, intentional, planned starvation of a people.
