Yesterday Israel killed an 8 year old boy in Gaza wearing a backpack on the way home from school.

His name was Jad.

The only reason western mainstream news outlets didn’t report on his killing is because he’s Palestinian.

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

New footage obtained by B’Tselem uncovers the moments when the Abu Haikal family was shot. Seven-month-old Sam Abu Haikal was killed in the shooting, and both his parents were injured. The footage clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing to a stop. The car was far from the soldiers and posed no danger to them whatsoever.

Moments later, in another video obtained by B’Tselem, seven-month-old Sam’s father, Fahed, is seen just after his son was shot. Fahed is holding baby Sam in his arms, trying to stop the bleeding from his head with his hands, while Sam’s mother, Daniyah, who was also injured by the gunfire while holding her son, is seen sitting on the ground, next to the car.

Last Friday, 5 June, an Israeli soldier fired at a Palestinian family driving home from a family visit, as they sat in their car in the Tel Rumeidah neighborhood in Hebron. The family was shot as the car was slowing to a stop at the soldier’s command. Sam, a seven‑month‑old baby who was in his mother’s arms in the back seat, was struck in the head and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Sam’s parents were also injured by the gunfire; his mother is still in the hospital. After the shooting, the soldier who fired and another soldier who was with him left the scene without checking the car or offering any assistance to the critically wounded baby or to his mother.

In the past two and a half years, Israel has killed tens of thousands of children in Gaza and the West Bank. The immunity it gets from the international community has led to a reality where, under Israeli rule, Palestinian lives are entirely disposable – even a seven‑month‑old baby.

The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:

In the same breath, Israel says it’s unfair for Iran to defend Hezbollah because those are different conflicts — and then takes out its anger on humanitarian orgs delivering aid to Gaza

[Suppressed News. @SuppressedNws1]

BREAKING:

ISRAEL imposes measures of COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT on Palestinian in GAZA.

ISRAEL has CLOSED all crossings into Gaza and HALTED humanitarian aid after Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel.

Nearly 2 MILLION Palestinians are now being cut off from food, medicine, fuel, and basic supplies.

Israel says the closure includes BOTH Kerem Shalom and Rafah crossings “until further notice.”

COGAT claims Gaza has enough food because aid delivered during the ceasefire “significantly exceeds” the population’s nutritional needs, which is false.

Israel has repeatedly imposed blanket closures on Gaza during regional escalations, collectively punishing the civilian population.

First, the loyal fans who supported the Knicks for decades when the team sucked (emptying thier wallets for tickets, shirts, jerseys) get priced out of the building when New York finally reaches the Finals (by insanely wealthy patrons willing/capable of casually blowing $20k on a pair of tickets to a basketball game, many of them having just hopped on the bandwagon or purchased tix to Game 3 solely b/c MSG is “the place to be” this week).

Then those same loyal, working-class fans get a second middle finger from ownership. Due to Dolan's desire to host Trump, thousands of diehard Knicks fans are denied the chance to gather outside the Garden, watch the game on a big screen, and share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with the community that helped keep this franchise alive when nobody else cared.

Access is reserved for the powerful, rich and/or connected, not the fans who stuck with this team through 20+ years of misery.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 Hold these three facts in your head at the same time, because Washington apparently can't...

Fact one:
The Pentagon reportedly raised Israel's counterintelligence threat level to "critical," the highest designation that exists.

That's the tier reserved for top adversaries like China and Russia, rating Israel above every American ally and above some of America's actual enemies.

The White House calls the reporting "false" and Israel categorically denies it, but the accounts are sourced to multiple current and former U.S. officials across two major outlets.

Fact two:
Netanyahu sent a personal letter to Rep. Marlin Stutzman endorsing a resolution to phase out U.S. military aid over a decade and replace it with what he called, in his own words, "my plan": a shift from aid to joint defense partnership spanning missile defense, AI, drones, and cyber.

Fact three:
A separate but parallel measure, Section 224 of the defense bill, would mandate structural integration: joint weapons production, linked military systems, and shared data between the two countries.

Two distinct legislative tracks, one direction: permanent entanglement with the country the Pentagon just reportedly flagged as a critical espionage threat.

Any functioning political system would treat fact one as disqualifying for facts two and three.

You do not wire your military networks into a government your own intelligence agencies say is running an "unhinged" collection campaign against your officials.

Counterintelligence 101 forbids it.

If China's leader sent a personal letter to a congressman describing his plan for U.S.-China defense integration while the Pentagon caught Chinese spyware on American officials' phones, every name attached to the bill would be under investigation by Friday.

Israel does both in the same month and gets a committee markup.

That gap is the most precise measurement we have of how compromised the system actually is.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 The Pentagon espionage bombshell just got worse...

New reporting confirms Israel has been eavesdropping on the American peace negotiators themselves.

The targets named: Steve Witkoff, Trump's top negotiator with Iran. Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon's policy chief.

And Michael DiMino, who runs Middle East policy.

Israel wasn't just collecting on America generally.

It was listening to the specific men writing the deal Netanyahu opposes.

What's wild is the documented incidents read like operations against an enemy state.

American defense personnel in Israel discovered spyware surreptitiously installed on their phones.

In 2021, Israeli military intelligence officers were caught planting listening devices at DIA headquarters.

Last year, Shin Bet officers were discovered trying to bug a Secret Service vehicle.

A SECRET SERVICE VEHICLE.

One senior official described the Israeli collection effort against top U.S. officials as "unhinged."

And the rating in context: Israel's counterintelligence threat level is now higher than any other American ally and EVEN HIGHER than some adversaries.

Notice who got targeted.

Colby is the most prominent advocate of foreign policy restraint in the government.

DiMino runs Mideast policy. Witkoff writes the deal.

Israel's espionage maps perfectly onto the people standing between Netanyahu and the war he wants to continue. They bugged the peace.

All of this while Israeli officers sit inside CENTCOM with unprecedented access, while Congress moves Section 224 to link the two militaries' systems and data permanently, and while Huckabee negotiates the framework.

The Pentagon says the ally is spying at a critical level.

Washington's answer is to hand them the keys to the network. Please make it make sense...

Earlier this week, I talked about how Congress is hiding the U.S.–Israel military relationship in the defense bill.

There is a second bill that goes further. It makes it law that a president can't pull intelligence sharing back without clearing a legal hurdle, even if you elect one who wants to. 🧵

The genocide in Palestine and the mass murder in Lebanon must be stopped

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

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.
