A Trump supporter in Texas was beaten by a group of teenagers after he assaulted a girl.

The confrontation began when the man made racist remarks. After the girl kicked his truck, he attacked her, prompting other teens to intervene.

We’re not free until the most vulnerable of us are free. If my danger really makes you safe, then you’re my oppressor.

[Eng Ibraheem almassri from gaza🍉🇵🇸 @_alturky2001]

My friend and aunt Bisan is still steadfast in western Gaza for the sake of the people who could not flee to the south. They are few in number there, but Bisan chose to stay with them there to cover all the events.
You must believe deep down that Bisan is the true example of patience and steadfastness.
Be safe my friend we all with you bisan🫂.

‼️Texas Prosecutors Seek 10-Year Sentence for “Fuck Israel” Graffiti

The first of the “Tarrant 3” is on trial in Fort Worth, Texas in a case that civil liberties advocates warn could set a dangerous precedent for criminalizing Palestine solidarity. Raunaq Alam, 32, is charged with spray-painting “Fuck Israel 🔻🔻🔻” and placing pro-Palestine stickers on the wall of Uncommon Church in Euless, Texas, in March 2024.

But a Class B misdemeanor graffiti charge for $196 in damage was escalated by the Tarrant County District Attorney to a third-degree felony with a hate-crime enhancement. The state alleges the act was motivated by “bias against Israel or the Jewish faith,” exposing Alam to up to 10 years in prison.

The prosecution’s case rests on the unprecedented claim that Israel – a foreign state – can be named as the victim in a Texas hate-crime prosecution, a theory defense attorneys argue stretches the statute beyond its constitutional limits.

Alam’s attorneys have sought to suppress certain evidence, arguing that police illegally searched and seized his car – opening the trunk and photographing items – two days before obtaining a warrant. FBI agents later assisted in executing the arrest.

On Wednesday, the defense called two prominent Jewish scholars to rebut the prosecution’s claim that anti-Zionism is equivalent to antisemitism. Prof. Debra Armintor, a founding member of Jewish Voice for Peace’s Dallas–Fort Worth chapter, told jurors that ‘Fuck Israel’ is a political statement, no different from saying ‘Fuck Russia,’ and argued that comparing Israeli policies to genocide is historical analysis, not Holocaust denial. Holocaust historian Barry Trachtenberg, who holds the Rubin Presidential Chair of Jewish History at Wake Forest University, likewise testified that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and emphasized that hate-crime laws cannot shield a government from criticism: ‘A state is not a person. It is a political entity subject to critique.’ Their testimony directly challenged the state’s effort to portray criticism of Israel as hatred of Jews.

Activists have rallied outside the courthouse all week. Organizer Stacey Monroe has called the case a dangerous and legally flawed attempt to silence dissent, accusing the Tarrant County D.A. of trying to criminalize opposition to Israel’s siege, blockade, and genocide. She described it as a clear case of Islamophobia and racism being weaponized to intimidate and said supporters will not be bullied.

Jury deliberations are expected to begin Friday. Trials for the two co-defendants are set for September 30.

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

In Tarrant County, TX, three Palestine solidarity activists—Afsheen Khan, Raunaq Alam, and another—are facing hate-crime charges for graffiti.

Prosecutors are even attempting to name the State of Israel as the “victim.”

Attorneys from @nlg_dfw warn this case goes beyond the Tarrant Three, expanding hate-crime laws meant to protect people—not foreign states.

[Jewish Voice @jewishvoicelive]

We do not recognize Israel as a state.

We only recognize the existence of the State of Palestine in the Holy Land.

The capital of the State of Palestine is Jerusalem.

Jerusalem has never belonged to the Zionist state.

The lands of the State of Palestine have been occupied by perverse, irreligious Zionists for 77 years. Zionism and Israel, just like the Nazis and Hitler's Germany, will one day disappear.

[A severed tether @funky4lyf]

Which is why those who hunt down genocidaires, during and after the fact, will always have my full support.

[A severed tether @funky4lyf]

I don’t think there’s ever been any significant accountability for any genocide in recorded history. There are just too many institutions, companies, governments and people that make a genocide possible. Too many are complicit and not enough care about the necessary reparations.

[Scott van-der-Sluis @scottvds17]

Hold her accountable all you want, im not saying she was perfect, but he should never have been the one to do it. There’s hundreds of hosts around the world qualified to do the job.

[Scott van-der-Sluis @scottvds17]

Whatever you think of her, a Pro-Israel Zionist should NEVER have got the chance to question a Palestinian woman. It’s bigger than a little love show in a villa, an entire race of people is currently undergoing a genocide & that power-dynamic has just been platformed. #LoveIslandUSA
