Still can't quite get over Haley Stevens being on AIPAC's Political Portal, but because she's actively fighting for her political life because of them, they've removed the direct donation buttons from her profile.🤣 You can still give to her, but we don't want our name on it.😉
The 1948 Nakba is very well known, but the ethnic cleansing of 1967 is discussed far lesn, ad it was utterly horrific. Historian Adam Raz has p,ublishsed a well-resourced account in Haaretz today, built on Israeli documents. Here are the main findings:
1) Israel expelled and drove out roughly 300,000 Arabs in 1967, about 200,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza, and about 120,000 Syrians from the Golan, where only some 6,000 of an estimated 130,000 remained. One soldier described the Gaza raids: "We grabbed guys, stood them up and eliminated them. In hindsight it looks like murder."
2) This was not an accident; it was intentional policy, prepared for since the early 1960s. Defense Minister Dayan wanted the West Bank emptied and repeatedly welcomed reports of flight. Many villages were destroyed. The KKL later planted Canada Park over the ruins of Imwas, Beit Nuba and Yalu. One soldier said the columns of expelled families reminded him of Jews "trudging through occupied Europe," and his heart sank at the sight.
3) Those trying to return were slaughtered. Troops were ordered to shoot to kill without warning. When one soldier asked whether to fire even if he heard babies crying, the answer was: "Don't be a girl." The IDF itself reported nearly 150 Palestinians killed this way by early September, and Chief of Staff Rabin confirmed these were the standing orders.
4) Crimes were widespread: systematic looting, the execution of unarmed prisoners and civilians, and the bulldozing of Golan villages "so there'd be nowhere to return to." One of the officers who ordered prisoners executed was Moshe Levi — later IDF Chief of Staff. A soldier wrote to his girlfriend that they had turned Sinai into a "valley of slaughter," adding: "I saw too many murders to cry."
5) The legal warnings were ignored. In December 1967, Foreign Ministry legal adviser Theodor Meron wrote that the expulsions were "a grave breach of the Geneva Convention." His summary line captures the whole episode: the Ministerial Committee for Security Affairs "decided to approve the policy anyway."
This sounds incredibly familiar, doesn't it? This is the Israeli way of war, based one slaughter and ethnic cleansing. Nothing changed.
The silence from Democrats when Muslim colleagues and candidates are attacked is a cancerous rot.
We cannot lead our country out this moment if we're willing to accept the abuse or dehumanization of any marginalized group.
Revealed: Israel’s curriculum for ‘influencing public consciousness’

Horrific footage of a Palestinian child being burned alive by Israel. Where are the headlines and front page stories? Imagine the coverage if the child were Israeli.
Right after the WSJ reports that Trump will only resume the war if Iran hits US troops, this Israeli front group declares that the US needs to keep US troops at the bases where Iran can hit them.
By “U.S. Needs Its Mideast Bases”, FDD means “Israel Needs U.S. Mideast Bait”:
AI presents an incredible opportunity for Jews because "instead of trying to control the whole world" and "manage" social media, "we can go directly to the companies" with "advocacy solutions," Dr. Maya Ackerman tells the American Jewish Committee.
"For the first time, there is a path to correcting the digital world!" Ackerman says.
There’s a real five-alarm panic about Adam Hamawy and Abdul El-Sayed that I don’t think I’ve ever seen from the pro-Israel Dem crowd before. I wonder what that could be about. It’s a mystery
@kenklippenstein Fox asks about the "sexually explicit messages that came out." To be clear: those messages were acknowledged by Platner's wife to have occurred. But so far, the actual messages have NOT "come out."
Here are the 117 Democrats who voted with Republicans against Rashida Tlaib's Lebanon war powers resolution.
Thomas Massie was the one Republican to join 91 Democrats — who all bucked party leadership — in voting for it.
Breaking: After Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s legal team appealed his arbitrary detention, Israeli authorities transferred him on 3 June 2026 from Naqab Prison to solitary confinement in Nafha as a punitive measure. The move comes amid harsh conditions and denial of medical treatment.
Inertia is working in their favor (because they support Israel and Trump’s support for their endless regional slaughters) but have to vaguely gesture towards opposition so all they have—again—is quibbling over process and paperwork
