Over 100 Democrats voted in support of ending US military funding to Israel. Not only is this unprecedented, but it proves over and over again, what fracturing of the Democratic Party there is over Israel.
The Palestinian movement carries tremendous power.
Today’s vote on blocking arms sales to Israel will be a major test for Democratic presidential hopefuls.
Support for continuing to arm Israel as it starves civilians will be seen as disqualifying by many Democratic voters, a supermajority of whom oppose Israeli actions in Gaza.
Israel has been issuing demolition orders in Jenin refugee camp, in the West Bank, since 21 March. Initially, these appeared to be aiming towards established military routes through the camp in order to create a system of ‘spatial control’.
This week’s demolitions, following an order issued on 9 June, suggest ever more strongly that Israel is aiming to destroy the historic Jenin camp entirely.

When you contrast how quick US media & officials were to repeat the fabricated story of "40 beheaded babies" on 10/7 and how reluctant they are to say anything about the endless stream of verifiably butchered babies in Gaza, you quickly understand how genocide becomes possible.
I've just checked the world news sections of five of the biggest Western news organisations on the planet. Not one of them - not one - has covered the killings of Hossam Shabat and Mohammed Mansour. A disgrace.
Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.
Our Director Dima Khalidi argues in the @thenation today that universities’ complete surrender to Trump’s ever-harsher crackdowns on the student movement “will not release them from the administration’s crosshairs. Columbia has learned that lesson 400 million times over”.
UPDATE: Since the filing of his habeas case, and less than 24 hours after being detained, Mr. Khalil was transferred over one thousand miles away to a Louisiana ICE facility. This is dangerous and compromises his access to legal counsel, a clear violation of due process.
God is not a real estate agent,neither is the most criminal, narcissistic leader of empire. Palestinians belong to Palestine. They have survived 76 yrs of Nakba, & 15 months of its cruelest phase. They survived to return, to stay, to thrive.Their ability to do so is on all of us.
Zionsts look at this confused and think: we left nothing for them to return to.
Palestinians know: there is everything to return to.
That's the difference.
