“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.
Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.
Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.
"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.
Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.
For folks who don’t know these are just everyday folks who are tired and organized. They’re tired of their community being terrorized. They’re actually standing up against fascism. You can be part of things like this, too.
Periodic reminder that the death penalty:
-Is not statistically a deterrent to murder.
-Costs the system far more than life imprisonment.
-Is unevenly applied and highly dependent on the competence of your lawyer.
-And also leads to nightmarishly draconian scenes like the below.
I am disgusted with Christa Pike's crimes.
But this is why people argue that the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment. Complications often occur during lethal injections since prison staff performing the injections don't have medical training on how to insert an IV and administer the drugs.
Doctors and medical professionals can't perform executions due to their oath to "do no harm." So, you have instances like this where the inmate lingers and doesn't die but suffers unduly.
For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Palm trees are a scam.
They drink more water and provide less shade than other trees. They're also highly flammable and dangerous in high wind.
Time for LA to replace Palm Trees with trees that provide actual shade and cool down our city.
Stolen lands and emptied cities are being turned into resorts and "modern cities" to satisfy the obsession of the billionaires! From Rafa to Capo Rojo to other areas in the world!
