Israel murdered the director of the Egyptian Committee in Gaza while Egypt were playing their biggest World Cup game in generations, days after Egypt’s head coach spoke up for Palestine.

This timing is not something anyone should be brushing off as coincidence.

It does feel like if a group of Palestinians with machine guns broke into an Israeli school and shot a bunch of children, it would be breaking news in every outlet on earth…?

[Andrey X @the_andrey_x]

Palestinian children were prevented from going to school by razor wire and Israeli soldiers — so they sat down and studied right in front of them

Mohammad should have much more followers. He brings important and often exclusive coverage from the ground in Masafer Yatta, West Bank.

Now more than ever, we must support local Palestinian reporters, risking their lives every day to let the world know.

One year ago today, a documentary featuring 25-year-old photojournalist Fatima Hassouna was selected for screening at Cannes. The next day, an Israeli strike killed her and six members of her family as they slept.

Forensic Architecture investigated the attack and concluded that “the missiles dropped by the Israeli military specifically targeted the Hassouna family’s apartment,” using precision-guided munitions designed to detonate at specific coordinates and floor level.

According to CPJ records, at least 92 journalists were killed in strikes while at home or in shelters, usually with their families.

Again this was not “Netanyahu”— key Israeli policies that have alienated US democrats are majority opinions within Israel. Support for ethnic cleansing of Gaza (82%), support for starvation in Gaza (68%) and war on Iran (93%) are all MAJORITY opinions among Jewish Israelis.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Today’s Palestinians were once Jewish, then some became Christians, then later they became Muslims.

The great stupidity of statements like this is that, if Israelis even want to make this argument, then it means they’ve committed a genocide against their ancient ancestors.

[Jo Kaur @SikhFeminist]

We have all been screaming this for 3 years NOW!!!

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance.

Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

This piece is paywalled, and I would never ever give the Atlantic a dime, but the essay begins its claim that Canadian Jews are being "purged from public life" with the story of a Jewish professor of medicine who quit teaching because he was offended by students' and colleagues statements about Israel.

That's not being "purged from public life." That's deciding you can't tolerate criticism of a foreign country to which you have an irrational attachment. By the way, as a half Palestinian, I can assure you I've had to hear MUCH worse about Palestinians and Muslims at workplaces and at school, and it never occurred to me to quit and cry victim.

FFS, who writes this stuff for the Times? How dishonest are they? It’s an illegal invasion and occupation of Lebanon, not an expansion of ‘territory it controls.’ Can you imagine the NYT talking about Russia and Ukraine like this?

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba

I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film

As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes

It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.

But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Lebanese die, Israelis are killed

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

They shot a 14 year old child.

Then blocked the ambulance reaching him.

Then laughed as they watched him die.

This is what the IOF does every day - murder children with impunity and laugh as they do it.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

I’m still listening to Tucker Carlson’s interview with Mike Huckabee, and there is a lot significant historical misinformation that needs to be corrected.

One of them is when he claims that Lord Balfour made his declaration while Palestine was under British Mandate. That is simply not true.

The Balfour Declaration was issued in 1917 by Arthur Balfour. At that time, Palestine was still part of the Ottoman Empire. The British Mandate for Palestine was not approved until 1922 and did not go into effect until 1923.

Second of all, no one on this fucking earth has a right to promise or give our land to anyone. Not Britain, not the League of Nations, and not the United Nations.
And definitely not a US ambassador.

Hi,

I'm Jewish. Many of my closest friends are too. My family is Jewish. My community is Jewish. Love them all.

I love Judaism. I host shabbat dinners, celebrate Jewish holidays, sing Jewish prayers, study Torah and love Jewish culture, history & expression.

But I'm not a Zionist. Zionism was a movement that said, let's create a Jewish state in a country that's 97%+ non-Jewish.

That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish.

That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" & they tried to expel Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish-owned enterprises. https://t.co/oXfyJsWFtC

That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes.

That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. They had the wrong DNA! (source: B. Morris, Border Wars, p.416).

That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. https://t.co/1d4VqUjxvE

That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from Gaza & the West Bank when it occupied those territories in 1967.

That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. They had the wrong DNA. https://t.co/16FarJ7vAw

Zionists wanted to create a Jewish State with a Jewish majority to ensure Jews made all important decisions in a land of overwhelmingly Palestinians.

That's why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on Jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians.

That's why the Zionist movement has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaor in 2022, @amnesty in 2022), since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship & it cannot grant Palestinian citizens of Israel the same rights as Jewish Israeli citizens, both of which would jeopardize Jewish domination. Israel chose apartheid over democracy.

Zionism also helps explain why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @hrw, @amnesty, @MSF, @AlHaq, @UNHumanRights, @UN_HRC, @pchrgaza, @LemkinInstitute, @AlMezanCenter, @WarOnWant @PHRIsrael @BtSIsrael, @fidh_en, @WarOnWant, @theCCR, @ECCHRBerlin, @TheElders, @JURDIasso PHROC & 86% of the members of the International Association of Genocide Scholars), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it!

The ideology itself incentivized genocide. You show me the incentives, I'll show you the outcome.

Do not conflate Judaism, that has existed for 3,300+ years, with your 150-yr-old political movement for Jewish supremacy between the River & the Sea, a movement that continues to uproot, displace, besiege, imprison, torture, rape, murder & genocide Palestinians.

Judaism will last as long as their are humans on the planet. Zionism is imploding in real time.
