Something that may not matter to everyone:
Gaza sources, confirmed by Hebrew media:
Despite the US and Israel allowing only a fraction of the aid needed to enter Gaza, Israel and the US have decided to close all crossings into the Gaza Strip.
What’s happening and why it matters
Jerusalem Palestinians, including Christians, live under a system where Israel controls who gets to officially exist in the city.
Being born in Jerusalem does not automatically make you a resident. Israel must register your birth, and it can refuse. Between 2020 and 2026, one in four Christian births in Jerusalem was denied registration. That child has no legal status in the city they were born in.
If a Palestinian Jerusalemite marries someone from the West Bank or abroad, their spouse cannot simply move in. They must apply for family reunification, and Israel rejects roughly half of those applications. Families are legally separated, sometimes for years, sometimes permanently.
On top of that, over 340 Jerusalem ID cards were revoked in this period. Losing your Jerusalem ID means losing the right to live in your own home. People are deported from the city of their birth, quietly, through paperwork.
And this is before we even talk about the obstacles placed in front of priests, nuns, and clergy trying to get work permits and visas to serve their own churches in Jerusalem.
One more thing that must be said clearly: none of this applies to Jewish residents. A Jewish person coming to Israel from anywhere in the world receives automatic citizenship under the Law of Return. A Christian child born in Jerusalem to a family that has been there for generations can be denied the right to legally exist there. This is not bureaucracy. This is a policy of replacement and apartheid.
This is the oldest Christian community on earth, being slowly removed from the city where Christianity was born, one rejected application at a time.
Now we know who in the EU is protecting even Ben-Gvir and Smotrich from sanctions.
At yesterday’s EU ambassadors meeting, according to @destandaard:
🇩🇪Germany insisted on leaving out Smotrich, limiting it to Ben-Gvir.
🇨🇿Czech Rep. alone against sanctioning even Ben-Gvir.
You’ll never believe this.
The leader of the “far right” Restore party in Britain is Rupert Lowe.
He’s famous for hating Muslims and aims to ban Halal food.
His son Angus just married into Islam.
The Restore party is now the Revert party 😂
It's pretty wild how to this day nobody can articulate a solid reason why helping Israel benefits the American people. At best it's circular reasoning arguments like "They fight our enemies" when the "enemies" are only enemies because they hate Israel.
A mosque gets shot up so Fox News finds a rabbi😕
The Rabbi trivialises the terrorist: "I will put money on it that there's some mental illness going on".
What the hell is going on?
Irish President Catherine Connolly has said she is “very proud” of her sister, Margaret Connolly, after she was detained by Israeli forces during a Gaza-bound flotilla operation, according to Channel 12.
Channel 12 reported that Margaret Connolly was among activists intercepted and detained by Israeli forces while participating in the flotilla aimed at breaking the blockade on Gaza. The report also said that six Irish citizens were detained in total during the operation.
Residents of the UK, beware!
The person walking next to you on the street might be this British IDF mercenary, who went to a foreign land to take part in the Holocaust of Palestinians.
So the logic here is: 9/11 represented all Muslim sentiment, that sentiment persists among the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims, and they all are fair game to kill as a result. Sick. This person is sick. And has 16k+ followers
Israel, or a small, apartheid state, carrying out a genocide & multiple wars of aggression, operating the most well-documented network of rape dungeons on earth, whose supporters spend more $$ on US congressional primaries than any other special interest group, by a long shot.
Three Muslims were just killed in a shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego after two teenaged shooters entered and opened fire.
While anti-Muslim/anti-Arab racism has been systematically fomented in this country for decades, the last two and a half years have seen every major institution - political, media, and educational - manufacture outrage about antisemitism in service of those who support the slaughter of Arabs and Muslims.
Every institution has pushed anti-Arab/anti-Muslim racism without pause because Muslim, Arab life has no currency here and is created to be expendable.
