"I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your book. I started it on the train home from Belfast and became so enraptured I simply had to keep reading until I finished.

"There were so many little moments of joy, of amazement (the whole diamond saga!) that I had thought to mention to you as I read. You have the talent of every great historian of weaving together the general and the particular, and the book brings a familiar humanity to resistance leaders Israel absolutely needs kept to the fearful other in western minds.

"Much of this feeling was overwhelmed by the final chapter. I cannot imagine what it must have taken to write it, to live it." - from J, a reader and friend from Ireland.

Thank you, Benay Blend, for this great review:

"Hopefully, readers of this collection will come away with a desire to join an organization, not to pose as saviors nor to impose their own beliefs on the residents of Gaza."

The pro-Israel camp is in an uproar. Petitions are circulating, politicians are weighing in, and celebrities are joining the pile-on—all accusing Macklemore of antisemitism.

But what did he actually say?

Ansarallah’s advance toward Bab al-Mandeb could shatter the US-Israeli strategy of containment and transform the regional balance of power. Watch The Moral Line with Ramzy Baroud.

[Ramzy Baroud @RamzyBaroud]

Why has it become so difficult to take a basic moral position?

We must refuse to qualify injustice. The war on Iran is wrong. The genocide in Gaza is wrong. Full stop.

Watch The Moral Line.

Palestinian women detainees described escalating abuse after Itamar Ben-Gvir entered their prison section with family members, filmed them and issued threats.

Key Developments

Palestinian women detainees said Israeli repression intensified after National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir entered their section accompanied by family members, filmed the raid and threatened them.

Women reported being handcuffed behind their backs, blindfolded, forced to keep their heads bowed and lie on the ground while subjected to shouting, insults and obscene language.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club said filming the detainees and subsequent crackdowns had turned their humiliation into a deliberate tool of political propaganda and control.

Israeli guards’ own messages reveal routine beatings, severe injuries and celebration of a Palestinian prisoner’s death inside Israel’s detention system.

Key Takeaways

Israeli prison guards described beating Palestinian detainees as “routine,” with one saying prisoners would not enter her wing without a “busted kidney.”

Guards celebrated the death of Thaer Abu Asab following a mass beating, while testimony indicates the assault was carried out with command-level knowledge and authorization.

The investigation exposed violence extending far beyond Abu Asab’s killing, with one tactical-unit guard telling investigators that senior commanders accepted the practice: “That was the policy.”

Washington’s present predicament cannot be explained solely through depleted arsenals, poor military planning, Trump’s impulsiveness or Netanyahu’s manipulation. Nor can it be understood simply as the result of underestimating Iran.

🎙️ American tech worker Alex Mitov says he walked away from Dell after confronting the company's ties to Israel and what he came to see as the US tech industry's complicity in the genocide in Gaza.

In this episode of The FloodGate, host Robert Inlakesh speaks with Mitov about his decision to quit Dell, corporate complicity in Israel's war on Gaza, the role of American technology companies, and the personal transformation that followed.

"My entire system was shocked," Mitov recalls as he describes beginning to question what he had been told about Israel, Palestine and America's role in supporting the Israeli military.

"I was living in a country built on lies," he says.

Mitov discusses Dell, the US technology sector, Israel's military campaign in Gaza, American support for Israel, corporate responsibility, Palestine solidarity, and the moral choices facing workers who believe their companies are contributing to human rights abuses.

He also explains why he ultimately decided that continuing as before was no longer an option — and why he wanted to become, in his words, "the exact opposite of genocidal freaks."

يقوم الكاتب والصحافي رمزي بارود، ابن مخيم النصيرات في غزة، بهذا الفعل المستمر من خلال عمله «لتحرير السردية الفلسطينية»، كما يقول: «عندما كنتُ صغيرًا في غزة، كغيري من أبناء جيلي، كنتُ شغوفًا بحلم تحرير فلسطين. ولكن مع تقدمي في السن، أدركتُ أن التحرير لا يقتصر على إزالة الصهيونية من الأرض الفلسطينية، بل هو أيضًا تحرير التاريخ والهوية والذاكرة والخيال الفلسطيني».

تحرير السردية يعني تحرير مناهج دراسة التاريخ والبحث من هيمنة الفكر الصهيوني، وعدم الاكتفاء بالرد على المزاعم والأساطير الصهيونية بالنسبة لبارود، الذي ينحدر من قرية بيت دراس التي هُجر أهله منها إلى غزة. «كل ما أكتبه محاولة لاستعادة الرواية الفلسطينية نيابةً عن أولئك الذين صنعوها، وحافظوا عليها، وضحّوا من أجلها: لاجئو غزة، والضفة الغربية، ولبنان، وسوريا، وغيرهم؛ أحفاد الفلاحين؛ العمال، والأسرى، والمقاتلين، والشهداء؛ وكل من يرى نفسه، قبل كل شيء، فلسطينيًا»،
يقول بارود.
