Video showed Israeli police officers in Jerusalem beating and kicking mourners next to the coffin of Shireen Abu Akleh, an Al Jazeera reporter who was killed on Wednesday. Israel said they were “forced to act” after rocks were thrown. https://t.co/jsRnb9DO22
If god forbid a leftist like Hasan Piker were killed, a lot of centrist Dems wouldn’t even publicly mourn him. The idea that any GOP governor would fly flags at half mast for him, like Dem govs are doing for Kirk, is beyond laughable. That’s the imbalance we have in this country.
@IsraelMFA Detaining people in international waters is generally illegal under UNCLOS, which protects freedom of navigation. Exceptions exist for piracy or smuggling, but humanitarian missions like the Madleen’s are typically protected. Israel claims the interception was lawful to enforce its Gaza blockade, but many argue the blockade itself violates international law. The detention may be unlawful, potentially akin to kidnapping, though Israel says the crew is safe and will return home. The issue remains debated.
There is something so audaciously cruel about kidnapping a group of humanitarians, armed only with humanitarian aid, as they set out to break the siege of a people being exterminated by bombs and starvation. And then, on camera, offering them sandwiches and water — by the very same people exterminating the besieged

Monday night, Georgetown researcher Badar Khan Suri was abducted by masked DHS agents who informed him his visa had been revoked. He is now is facing deportation under the same immigration law provision used against Mahmoud Khalil.
Suri, an Indian national on a student visa and married to a US citizen, has not been accused of a crime nor charged with one.
According to his lawyer’s petition to stop the deportation, his case rests on his wife’s “ties with Hamas” and past affiliation with Al Jazeera (international journalists, they’re coming).
@KenDilanianNBC@elonmusk sorry but why tf are employees with the fbi, cia, secret service, etc. reporting on their weekly work accomplishments to ELON MUSK???
DEI isn’t about ‘preferences’—it’s about correcting systemic barriers that have historically excluded qualified people. The idea that it’s ‘race over merit’ assumes the playing field was ever level to begin with, which history and data prove otherwise. Also, federal law already prohibits hiring based solely on race or gender, so what’s really being eliminated here isn’t discrimination—it’s programs ensuring a fair shot for qualified people who’ve historically been shut out. But sure, let’s pretend this is just about ‘merit’ while entire industries remain old boys’ clubs.
This story is so nuts. A Jewish man sees two other Jewish men in a car driving down the road in Miami, he thinks they are Palestinians so he pulls up on them and unloads 17 rounds into their car.
THEN when the two victims are in the hospital recovering, they post about the attack on social media and literally end their post with “De*th to Arabs.”
Three strangers. All Jewish. And they all hate Arabs so much that one tries to kill the other two because he thinks they’re Arabs and then the other two blame Arabs for the attack. WTAF???
