Congressman @RoKhanna is fuming after Israeli settlers - with support from the Israeli military - detained & harassed him for 90 minutes.

He says that Israel's total impunity - thanks to America's blank check to Israel - has created "a toxic culture of oppression."

It's important to understand that this kind of harassment also happened in the past. But back then, US lawmakers would stay quiet and bring no attention to it. But today, speaking out against Israel makes you a political hero among the majority of Americans.

If a U.S. Congressman can be forcibly detained by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, what do you think is happening to the Palestinians who live there?

Sadly, we know the answer.

Despite massive campaign spending by AIPAC, members of Congress must be very clear. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO THE EXTREMIST NETANYAHU GOVERNMENT.

BREAKING: U.S Democratic Representative Ro Khanna has become the first American congressman in history to be detained by Israeli settlers while on a visit to the West Bank.

What Israelis have already done to him is a story of such horrific wickedness, they will never recover from it. I don’t doubt their aim is to kill him.

BREAKING (bones)
Why does "Bring Them Home" exist only for some hostages?
Because in Apartheid Israel, where only Jewish lives matter, brutalising the Palestinians isn't an anomaly - it is the system. And the silence around it is the exact measure of our collective hypocrisy.

Veteran Aussie journalist #MaryKostakidis is facing racial discrimination charges by the #Zionist Federation for her #tweets on #Gaza. Her defense argues that criticizing a political ideology isn't #racial #discrimination.

Stand with Mary and a free press. #Retweet to #amplify.

Absolutely brilliant answer by @AbdulElSayed to the moronic and ritualistic insistence by mainstream media to ask whether candidates believe "Israel has a right to exist."

It is not that Abdul points out that Israel already exists while no one asks him about the right for Palestine to exist. After all, they are the ones suffering through genocide - at the hands of Israel.

It's that he juxtaposes the question of Israel's right to exist with the question of whether Israel has a right to American taxpayers' money (which it currently spends on genocide).

Just like Mamdani brought the conversation back to the needs of New Yorkers instead of the needs of Israelis, Abdul brings it back to the rights and needs of his constituents in Michigan.

Many won't like me calling it as such, but this is the Democratic version of America First. And it is not surprising that it has such a strong appeal.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 NEW: An Israeli paper says the plan to move Gaza's population into controlled "shelters" begins within WEEKS, and the base for it is already built.

THE GENOCIDE HASN'T ENDED!

TL;DR: Concentration camps. The US is going to help Israel build and run concentration camps in Gaza.

[mustafa yazıcı @myzccc]

World leaders marched in Paris after the killing of Charlie Hebdo journalists

The irony: among them was Benjamin Netanyahu the killer of journalists in Gaza. An even greater irony: the world watches in silence as more than 270 journalists killed in Palestime

I want Mayim Bialik to sit in room across from children who were amputated by Israel and their mothers, look them in the eyes and tell them her story about how she was scared seeing man approaching her wearing anti Israel shirt

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Immediately after Oct. 7, Bill Ackman and his ilk organized a blacklist to bar Americans criticizing Israel from ever having a job in finance, law, Silicon Valley, etc. That led to a wave of mass firings over Israel.

Totally unsurprising that this created a massive backlash:

[Richard @ricwe123]

That time when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before Indian President Modi as a gesture of respect.
Then, at the last moment, the United States suddenly abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to wait and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.

What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had blown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.

This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.

And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear......

A rejected monkey breaks the internet, while starving Palestinian children barely get noticed?

Palestinian children don't deserve to starve or be killed.
