Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
Hasan Piker: “If you steal from the poor, you become rich. If you steal from the wealthy, you go to prison. There’s only one direction where you can do unlimited theft. Wage theft is the most consequential amount of theft that takes place in the United States of America”
It's not just Gaza, Iran and Lebanon.
In the West Bank since October 2023, Israeli soldiers and settlers have:
Killed 1,071 Palestinians
Demolished 6,000+ homes
Built 200+ illegal outposts
No more U.S. military aid to Israel.
💢 “This was a blatant murder… a targeted assassination” — Journalist Courtney Bonneau on killing of her friend and journalist Amal Khalil in southern Lebanon.
Amal Khalil, the veteran Al-Akhbar newspaper correspondent, was killed after an Israeli strike hit the village of al-Tiri, leaving her trapped beneath the rubble as rescue efforts were repeatedly blocked by ongoing Israeli attacks.
Zeinab Faraj, a freelance photojournalist also working with the paper, was seriously wounded and evacuated to a hospital under Israeli fire.
Efforts to reach Khalil were impeded by continued strikes and direct fire, with a senior Lebanese army official telling Reuters that an Israeli drone dropped a grenade on rescue workers, while a Red Cross vehicle also came under fire.
This is outrageous.
Just after Trump announced his sham ceasefire, Israel bombed an ambulance workers funeral in South Lebanon.
Channel 4 News was there and captured everything.
Israel does NOT want peace. It wants to keep committing genocide and stealing other people’s land.
Now that "The Babylon Bee" is a full-time Israel propaganda outlet attacking anyone critical of their sacred foreign government, @TheBabylonBibi has stepped in to do actually funny political and inventive satire.
Professor Norman Finkelstein:
“Israel is now a madman.”
“It didn’t get its way with Iran, and so it is totally destroying Lebanon now.”
“It is in a state of catatonic lunacy.”
“I’ve said this for years. Now it’s the consensus.”
“Israel is a lunatic state. A lunatic society.”
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
Hundreds of you brought the heat to the University of Michigan. Y'ALL DID THAT. They tried to stop this event and it didn't work.
This is our year. This is our election. This is our movement.
ONWARD.
Joe Kent issues an emergency message that Israel will attempt to sabotage this ceasefire deal.
He says now is the time to restrain Israel and cut off its military funding to stop it.
He says Israel’s word should never be trusted because they are absolute liars.
Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.
