I remember telling skeptical European diplomats in 2024 that the Gaza genocide will be a formative experience for an entire generation of Americans. That the politics around Israel will change in America faster than most have expected.
And I specifically told them that the kids at the Columbia, Harvard, MIT encampments are no ordinary kids. They are the future leaders of this country. At least one of them will run for president. Several will run for Senate. Even more for the House.
It's already happening.
The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.
In a new report, a UN commission of inquiry credibly sets out Israel’s responsibility for atrocities against Palestinian children and even identifies military units apparently responsible.
The US and other governments should immediately suspend weapons transfers to Israel.
Israel killed 9 paramedics in roughly 72 hours.
Let that sink in.
These are some of their faces.
According to Lebanon’s latest health sector figures, now updated after the killing of additional paramedics in the last 48 hours:
• 125 healthcare workers killed
• 273 wounded
• 149 attacks on the healthcare sector
• 142 ambulances targeted
• 32 medical centres destroyed
• 16 hospitals forced out of service
• 221 ambulance crews attacked
Lebanon’s emergency sector is not collapsing accidentally.
It is being systematically dismantled.
Israel is committing war crimes against Lebanon’s medical services.
Israel is bombing Gaza, killing children, stealing more land in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, destroying southern Lebanon, damaging hospitals, killing medics, and the media tells you this is a ceasefire.
They’re changing the meaning of words to launder a list of war crimes.
The rampant sexual abuse of Palestinians in Israeli custody has been far too widely documented for far too long to be seriously debatable.
What's new is it being acknowledged in a paper where that kind of thing isn't usually categorized within "all the news that's fit to print."
Israel’s prison system has been so under-covered precisely because it’s a perfect distillation of what Zionism is in practice — a state apparatus organized around domination, humiliation, and dehumanization. Now that a mainstream outlet has finally covered what’s happening inside, Israel’s defenders are understandably treating it as a grave threat.
