Yesterday, I watched Naza.

I did not go to learn what had happened in Gaza. I am from there. I am one of the victims of this war, one of its witnesses, and one of those who have paid a price that will not end when the war does.

I did not need a film to tell me how entire neighborhoods were wiped away, how residential buildings were bombed with the people still inside them, or how families were forced to leave their homes without knowing where they were supposed to go.

Nor did I need anyone to tell me about the famine. I lived through it twice, with all its humiliations, down to the smallest detail. Or about the starving people who were killed while trying to reach what were so absurdly called “food distribution centers.”

I know all of this.

I was there.

Israel attacked Gaza nine days out of 10 during a so-called ceasefire.

AJLabs counts the cost of a year of what was supposed to end the killing.

I have to say something there. There is a clip circulating WILDLY among conservative commentators and right-wing pundits of a woman who spoke this morning at a press conference with myself and Abdul.

She had never spoken at a press conference before. Beforehand, she shared with me that she was really nervous. But she told me it was important for her to be there as a UAW member because she believed in using her voice for her fellow members and for working families.

Doing something new is HARD. And scary.

She started speaking and got stage fright. What you can't see in the video is that under the podium, she reached back. When I saw it, I grabbed her hand. Abdul did as well. We both stepped forward to stand with her.

But the way you all are tearing her apart. God forbid anyone ever step out of their comfort zone. God forbid anyone ever try.

It's callous, cruel, and it's no wonder why so many people absolutely despise this moment that we're in. Because God forbid you're not perfect. God forbid you show fear. God forbid you mess up.

I am always proud to stand with people using their voice even when they're scared, for trying something new, for stepping out of their comfort zones.

We need a lot more of her - people wanting to use their voice even when it shakes - and a lot less keyboard warriors who could care less about how needlessly cruel they are if it means getting a like or a retweet or some views.

I wrote an essay that’s been on my mind for a very long time.

It’s not the whole story, but it’s a snapshot that chronicles what I’ve personally witnessed and experienced over the last several years.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read it.

No, there is currently not a single American citizen under indictment, investigation, or facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). There is no active legal proceeding or pending case against any U.S. citizen at the court. President Trump on July 31 said Secretary Rubio was seeking to destroy the ICC to protect Israeli PM Netanyahu.

Islamophobia is a problem among both Democrats and Republicans.

The silence in Michigan among state leaders while one of the largest cities in the state is being terrorized by Islamophobes is shameful.

“The Moment Ahmad Raised His Hands in Surrender, an Israeli Soldier Shot Him Directly in the Head”

The Guardian reports that Palestinian aid truck driver Ahmad Esleem was shot dead by an Israeli soldier while transporting humanitarian aid into Gaza, in what eyewitnesses and Gaza’s Transport Companies’ Association describe as a field execution.

Esleem, who was delivering food for World Central Kitchen (WCK) through a fully coordinated humanitarian convoy, was ordered out of his truck after one vehicle broke down near the Philadelphi Corridor.

Witnesses say Israeli soldiers forced the drivers to strip, assaulted them, and made them stand under the sun. As Ahmad Esleem raised his hands in surrender, an Israeli soldier shot him directly in the head.

The 30-year-old, a father of two children, including a one-month-old baby, was killed despite wearing official identification, carrying all required permits, and operating under coordination approved by the Israeli military, according to his employer and Gaza’s truckers association.

Witnesses also said Israeli soldiers threatened the surviving drivers, warning they would meet the same fate as Esleem.

Israeli PM Netanyahu went on CNN today to explain away settler violence in the occupied West Bank. His claims, against the documented record:

1️⃣ “It’s about 150 or so juvenile delinquents.”
The UN has documented more than 1,000 settler attacks causing casualties or property damage this year alone, across 230+ communities, six per day, the highest pace ever recorded.

2️⃣ “They’re not from the settler community.”
Amnesty found settlement outposts operate as instruments of a state-backed campaign that has fully or partially displaced 117 Palestinian communities since 2023. US-sanctioned settler Yinon Levi, filmed shooting activist Awda al-Hathaleen dead, founded one.

3️⃣ “We do stop them.”
Levi was released the morning after his arrest and got three days of house arrest; a year on, he is still not indicted. Yesh Din has documented for two decades that the vast majority of investigations close without charges.

4️⃣ “Our courts are very lenient. I don’t know why.”
Netanyahu’s own government has approved or legalized 103 settlements since 2022, retroactively blessing outposts built through violence, and his national security minister distributed guns to settlers.

5️⃣ “It’s not the government of Israel.” Settlement is a project of the Israeli state. The military backs the attacks on the ground: journalist Jasper Nathaniel, has documented the institutional machinery behind settler violence, and filmed IDF soldiers supporting settlers in their assaults on Palestinians.

Asked to commit to look into the killing of Saif Musallet, the Palestinian American beaten to death last year by Jewish settlers: “I’m not sure that. I’ll look into it.”

⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.

🧵Ten of the most well-documented Israeli crimes over the last 1,000 days show the same pattern; brutality, denial, deception & impunity

1. Israel's killing of Palestinian medics & burying them in mass graves (CNN):

At first, Israel claimed the ambulances were moving "suspiciously" & had their lights off. Then a video recovered from one of the medics' phones proved that was a lie. Israel later called it a "professional failure."
