Sekh Abdul Hafeez wanted his village school repaired. Instead, he was accused of terrorism and foreign funding.

This is how Islamophobia in India can turn ordinary civic participation into suspicion.

Pro-Palestine campaigners in Lebanon, Jordan and elsewhere in the Arab world have called for a boycott of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ over producer Avi Arad’s support for Israel and his rejection of criticism directed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the genocide in Gaza.

Arad, one of the film’s four main producers, holds Israeli citizenship, served in the Israeli military and was involved in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war that resulted in Israel occupying West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.

In a 2024 letter published by entertainment news outlet TheWrap, Arad rebuked then-US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer after the senator described Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace and called for Israel to hold new elections.

“It’s not your war. It is not your country. And it is not you who is at risk,” Arad wrote, arguing that Schumer had no right to influence Israel’s electoral process. He also described himself as a proud former member of the Israeli military and rejected Schumer’s position on a ceasefire in Israeli genocide.

Campaigners say those statements demonstrate Arad’s support for Israel’s mass atrocities in besieged Gaza and argue that ticket purchases contribute financially to a production associated with him.

Sikh organizations urge the U.S. Secretary of State to deny entry to RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat.

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

The RSS has been enabled by India’s far-right Hindutva government to persecute Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and other minorities. USCIRF is absolutely correct that this dangerous organization and its members must be condemned and sanctioned by the U.S. government.

"Prometí aprobar una ley de pena de muerte para los palestinos y lo hice, ahora estoy construyendo una instalación para ejecutarlos, pondré cámaras y se podrá ver cómo mueren en directo".

Itamar Ben Gvir, ministro genocida de "Israel", está construyendo campos de exterminio para palestinos, donde pondrá cámaras para ver como los ejecutan en directo y permitirá visitas para presenciar sus muertes.

Este criminal es la reencarnación de Hitler, un psicópata histórico que quiere convertir la muerte de los palestinos en un show público sádico.

[Muzzammil Imam | مزمل إمام @imammuzzammil]

It is deeply concerning that Union Minister @KirenRijiju continues to publicly mischaracterise my brother Sharjeel @_imaams speech as a call for the secession of Assam from India. Sharjeel’s case has consistently been that he was speaking of a chakka jam, a road blockade as a form of protest, not cessation or secession from India. These very speeches and their legal interpretation are sub judice, and there is no final judicial finding that Sharjeel advocated secession. At a particularly crucial stage, when arguments on framing of charges in FIR 59/2020 are underway, such categorical public pronouncements by a senior Union Minister risk prejudicing the atmosphere surrounding an ongoing criminal trial and impinge upon Sharjeel’s right to a fair trial. I request Mr. Rijiju to allow the courts to decide the evidence and law, and not defame my brother or prejudge his case for political gain.

There is much more to this than meets the eye.

A compromised PM was forced to sell India’s interest. India is paying a huge price.

Our legacy media, which covers for this depravity while excoriating anyone who sheds light on it, is a disgrace.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over.

It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.

[cez @cezthesocialist]

Absolutely fucking insane that they are just pretending the third Muslim victim doesn’t exist. They are clearly terrified of their complete failure to control the narrative and the shit they are willing to do to regain control just mindblowing.

Weird way to say that Israel killed her

[Ana Kasparian @AnaKasparian]

Israel slaughtered another journalist in Lebanon today. If you live in America, you pay these monsters to carry out terror in multiple countries. Congratulations.

[Kate 🕊 @affleckquine]

Amal was under rubble and still conscious, she was speaking to family. The IOF fired on rescuers for 6 hours to make sure she couldn't survive.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Amal Khalil was alive for hours. She phoned her family and the Lebanese military for help. People followed in horror as her colleagues updated the world on what was happening. And yet Israel blocked the Red Cross from reaching her for seven hours. That is stone cold murder.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Everyone should read what the Israeli military did to journalist Amal Khalil today in this minute-by-minute account as the international community watched in horror. First the text messages threatening her then trapping her and a photographer in a house then bombing them then firing on international rescue crews, all with the world watching in real time. There are no words left for the horrors that U.S. political leaders are enabling.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

Israel didn't just kill Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil; they hunted her down and dropped grenades on the medics who tried to save her.

In other news, Europe - in its infinite moral void - voted against imposing even minor consequences on Israel for its countless war crimes.

💢 BREAKING | Israeli settlers shoot dead a 14-year-old student and a 32-year-old man at a West Bank school, with Israeli forces providing protection

Israeli settlers opened fire on Al-Mughair Boys School in the village of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, on Tuesday afternoon, killing a 14-year-old student, Aws Hamdi Al-Naasan, and a 32-year-old man, Jihad Marzouq Abu Naim, and wounding three others with live bullets, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA and the Ministry of Health.

A paramedic at the scene said at least three settlers deliberately fired at children attempting to escape from classrooms from a position approximately 50 meters away, with a level of accuracy he described as close to sniping. An eyewitness said shooting was directed at classroom windows and balconies still full of children as residents attempted to evacuate the school by crawling.

Israeli forces arrived during the attack and, according to witnesses, provided protection to the settlers rather than stopping them. A 63-year-old man, Attallah Abu Aliya, said he was shot in the leg by an Israeli soldier without warning as he walked toward the school after hearing it was under attack.

Their deaths bring the West Bank toll to four killed on Tuesday alone, after a 16-year-old boy was run over by a settler's vehicle in Hebron and a 49-year-old woman died from injuries sustained in an Israeli army shooting in Jenin.
