HORRIFIC: Hamas militias are threatening a Palestinian woman over a social media post supporting the June 26 revolution in Gaza, warning that they will break her limbs and shoot her.

This is terrorism and intimidation directed at civilians for expressing their views.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

ANNOUNCEMENT:

This Friday, people across Gaza will take to the streets in what is expected to be one of the largest anti-Hamas protests ever.

In response, Hamas militias have begun targeting activists — including women — threatening them and their families. They have also launched smear campaigns labeling activists as "traitors," creating fears that these accusations could later be used as a pretext to persecute, imprison, or even execute them.

This is a plea to pro-Palestine voices, human rights organizations, journalists, and everyone who genuinely cares about the Palestinian people:

Stand with the brave people of Gaza. Support their right to express their views, speak freely, and protest without fear of violence or retaliation.

We also call on human rights organizations, international observers, and the media to closely monitor these events, as concerns continue to grow over threats against protesters and Hamas militias' promises to crush those who participate in the demonstrations.

The people of Gaza deserve to have their voices heard.

2/ Silwan is facing an escalating campaign of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing. Palestinian families who have lived there for generations are being pushed from their homes. The Shlodi family’s struggle is one example of the systematic effort to displace Palestinians from East Jerusalem and replace them with Israeli settlers.

[עומדים ביחד نقف معًا Standing Together🟣 @omdimbeyachad]

1/ Yesterday, Standing Together students from our Hebrew University chapter joined other organizations in Silwan to stand with the Shlodi family against their expulsion from their home in  East Jerusalem.

A reminder:

It is completely fine to be pro-Palestine and against Hamas.

Supporting Palestinian rights does not require supporting Hamas.

You can stand for Palestinian freedom, dignity, statehood, and human rights while also opposing Hamas, its ideology, and its actions.

According to recent polls, the majority of Palestinians are against Hamas.

בן גביר חושב שאנחנו עוורים, שאנחנו לא מבינים שהוא מנסה להרוס בתים, לירות באזרחים, ולהבעיר את כל החברה הערבית? לא. אנחנו רואים אותך ואנחנו הולכים להחליף אותך, ערבים ויהודים ביחד.

🚨IMPORTANT: First statement in English from the June 26 anti-Hamas revolution in Gaza: an appeal to international media, human rights organizations, and the international community.

[Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib @afalkhatib]

Exposing Hamas’s Use of a Primary Gaza Hospital for Repression: Hamas’s intelligence and internal security services are in full fascist mode across the Gaza Strip, beating, interrogating, and threatening anyone they suspect may join the June 26 protests against their rule. A few friends of mine in Gaza City have already been summoned. They were told explicitly by al‑Qassam Brigades operatives, Hamas police, and internal security officers that if they post anything supportive of the protests on Facebook or offer any help to protestors, they will be executed under “revolutionary conditions” and treated as collaborators with Israel; no trial, no process, just immediate death.

And where were some of my friends interrogated, threatened, and placed on house arrest? Inside Al‑Ahli Arab Hospital or the Ma'amadani/Baptist Hospital in Gaza’s Zeitoun neighborhood. Yes, the same hospital that grabbed global headlines early in the war after a faulty Islamic Jihad rocket fell and caused an explosion, which killed hundreds of people. That hospital is now a central hub for Hamas’s intelligence, militancy, and internal repression.

This is criminal on every level. And it raises a basic question: if overwhelming, well‑corroborated evidence shows Hamas using Gaza’s medical facilities to hide among civilians and enforce its armed rule, violating the October 2025 ceasefire, why have the UN and international medical and humanitarian NGOs and charities remained silent? Why has no one suspended operations until Hamas withdraws from the hospitals they support?

I want every follower and every official who sees this to contact and tag the World Health Organization, UNICEF, UNRWA, the United Nations, Doctors Without Borders, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and any organization supplying Gaza’s hospitals. Demand that they confront Hamas’s presence in the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital/ Ma'amadani / Baptist Hospital and every facility they fund, staff, and sustain. Even though the Episcopal Church/Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem manages Al‑Ahli, every medical facility in Gaza depends on international aid, equipment, and expertise, during the war and even more so since the ceasefire.

It is time to get Hamas out of Gaza’s hospitals. It is time to support Gazans risking their lives to protest the Islamist fascists who have destroyed their society for twenty years. And it is time for the international community to finally recognize that Hamas cannot be trusted to uphold any agreement. The group is committed to a last‑stand ideology – much like Hitler in his bunker – regardless of how many civilians in Gaza suffer or die as a result.

“The occupation is man made and we can end occupation and we can achieve peace.” Israeli and Palestinian peace activists @AlonLeeGreen and @DaoodRula tell me why they’ve chosen to step away from grassroots organizing and jump into the race for Knesset.

This happened on same day Israel’s foreign minister broke off ties with EU counterpart.

The EU is Israel’s largest export market.

The US is Israel’s arms supplier & diplomatic shield.

You’d imagine there’d be some self-reflection within Israeli govt

And you’d be wrong…

My OpEd in the main Palestinian newspaper Alquds in Arabic and English

What Palestinians need today is to revive politics itself.

We need free elections, modern parties, new leadership, accountable institutions, and a strong and independent civil society that plays its natural role in oversight, awareness, and defending rights, rather than becoming an alternative to political life. Democracy is not built by projects, representation is not granted through diplomatic invitations, and legitimacy is not issued by European embassies.

Any civil society organization has the right to defend its ideas and initiatives, but no one has the right to demand a political and representative role without first accepting the rules of transparency, accountability, and popular oversight to which democratic political work is subject. Palestinian democracy cannot be built by replacing parties with non-governmental organizations, just as a state cannot be built by replacing citizens with funders.

Politics is made by the people's representatives, not by project owners. Legitimacy is granted by voters, not by donors. And the future of Palestine must be decided by Palestinians through their elected institutions, not through funding networks and international conferences, no matter how good the intentions of those in charge.

1/ Dozens of high ranking officials in Israel, including former security chiefs & ex-PMs have called on Netanyahu to act against Jewish terror in the West Bank.

They point out extent of violence against Palestinians is being downplayed & no action taken.
