Yesterday, 7-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was in the backseat of his parents’ car, driving home from his grandmother’s house.
Israeli forces opened fire on the vehicle in Hebron and killed him.
A baby murdered before he could even learn what life was.
Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.
The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.
America must secure her release NOW.
Hamawy has won — meaning a doctor who treated the victims of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza is headed to Congress.
He refused to leave his rotation, even as Israel surrounded the hospital and cut off the water supply, until a new rotation of doctors was allowed in
Come with me as I learn about each person at the official Israeli delegation at today's Israel Day Parade in New York City.
These are the people some of my fellow Jewish and other New Yorkers demanded Mayor Mamdani stand with today.
🧵
Bezalel Smotrich is a far-right extremist whose hateful and divisive rhetoric is fundamentally at odds with the values we hold dear in New York.
Yesterday’s parade was a celebration of Jewish pride, community, and unity. I strongly condemn his participation.
🚨 New study shows the New York Times, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, CNN, Politico, USA Today and Axios collectively used the term "savage" 16 times for the killing of Israelis, but never for the killing of Palestinians.
Likewise, "slaughter" appeared 120 times in relation to the killing of Israelis, but only once for Palestinians.
"Massacre" was used 344 times in relation to Palestinians killing Israelis, but never for Israelis killing Palestinians.
"Barbaric" was used 14 times to describe the killing of Israelis, but zero times in relation to the deaths of Palestinians.
The cable coverage displayed a similar pattern.
MSNBC, presenters and guests used
"massacre" 177 times, "barbaric" 46 times, "savage" 23 times and "slaughter" 102 times in relation to Israeli deaths.
They never called the killing of Palestinians "barbaric" or "savage". In relation to Palestinians, they only used “massacre" eight times and "slaughter" four times.
References to "savagery" and "barbarism" echo the logic of settler colonialism, identifying the uncivilised natives as a problem to be solved.

🔴 NEW: An Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle in Adoussiyeh, south Lebanon, killed a couple and left their young child wounded and bloodied, and crying beside their bodies, according to local reports and footage from the scene.
Journalist Hadi Hoteit said the strike hit near Ghaziyeh, between Sidon and Tyre, in an area many residents believed was safe.
"Far right" is not an adequate way to describe the openly genocidal Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, given how he describes himself.
This is the march the ADL wants Mamdani to go to.
The genocide in Gaza continues, and there is no ceasefire. Netanyahu is openly announcing the military takeover of 70 percent, and ultimately all, of Gaza. Four more children in Gaza were killed by U.S.-funded Israeli bombs yesterday. No more excuses: Arms Embargo now.
Some good news. The appeals court has granted our stay request, preventing my detention or deportation while I seek Supreme Court review. This fight is far from over. More to come this summer!

Ben-Gvir had been releasing videos showing him and his men abusing Palestinians countless times, but as soon as it happens to Europeans from the flotilla, suddenly all the Israeli liberals start convulsing that he’s ruining their Hasbara, not that he’s brutalizing human beings.
A new report from the UN Human Rights office today said Israel has imposed “on Palestinians conditions of life increasingly incompatible with their continued existence in Gaza as a group.”
It got no media attention, because why would an ongoing genocide be newsworthy?
There is a new Democratic Socialist in Congress. DSA congratulates our member Chris Rabb on his election for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District. This victory would not have been possible without the work of thousands of working class people across Philadelphia organizing for a better world. We will be with Congressman Rabb every step of the way in the fight to abolish ICE, free Palestine and win Medicare for All.
