'החיים שלי הם סיוטי לילה. אני מעורב אישית בסבלם של האנשים שנפצעו בקרב, בחזית ובכפרים... בעודי חירש לזעקה הרחוקה של היתומים והגידמים, אני יודע שהיושרה שלי עצמי נכרתה... בחברה חופשית, כולם מעורבים במה שחלק מבצעים. חלק אשמים, כולם אחראים' (אברהם יהושע השל)
For anyone still calling Daniela Weiss a fringe radical—here she’s in the Knesset, flanked by ministers and MKs, at a forum called “Gaza Riviera: from idea to reality.” These are the most powerful officials planning Judenrein in Gaza and the West Bank. Anyone who claims this…
US quitting UNESCO because it “advances social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the UN’s sustainable development goals, a globalist agenda” is like closing libraries for carrying too many books. I guess some regimes did just that. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
My ancestors were Christians and followed our Lord before the Western world became Christian. It's not our fault you think Christianity started with Billy Graham.
Lots of guys with names like "Khalil" and "Firas" and "Zaid" and "Shadi" logging on to explain to American Protestants what Christianity is and isn't over the last couple days...
Bless @mehdirhasan for having the patience to answer this Nazi. The alarming part is that Silicon Valley–run media platforms have normalized Nazis and their allies who spew hate daily. They're on X and YouTube now, but soon they’ll be on primetime.
Daily massacres at sites run by a shady group led by an even shadier Christian director—replacing local efforts since Israel’s blockade. Their own staff admit to shooting unarmed civilians. GHF’s response? “Has nothing to do with us.” It's not Orwellian it's demonic.
We’re deeply saddened by reports that more than 30 people were killed while trying to access food from a UN convoy at the Zikim crossing in Northern Gaza as humanitarian efforts face escalating violence. Like most violent incidents, this incident is not linked to GHF, despite…
At the Jerusalem protest, cops violently tear a “Stop the genocide in Gaza” sign from a woman old enough to be their mother. When the message hits too close, the state answers with violence.
MK @AyOdeh, after being assaulted by government loyalists tonight; "We stand firm against it, Jews and Arabs together, and we will defeat it. The struggle is clear: Democracy or fascism. We do not surrender to fascism."
A week ago, brave citizens who organize the weekly demonstration against the war and against the government invited me to speak tonight in the city of Ness Ziona. This morning, we were informed that fascist extremists had threatened to attack us if we showed up, but we decided…
Now this senator’s attacking the media—while tens of thousands marched tonight for a hostage deal Netanyahu keeps blowing up. Him trying to brand himself as pro Israel hawk hasn’t freed a single hostage. Just made useful idiot for Israel’s fascist right
For nearly 2 years, the media normalized hostages held in hellish places. To the tunnel rats: the world knows you and Iran have been broken. Disarming yourselves and freeing the hostages would bring peace to Gaza.
דנה ויס אתמול: "יש פה ויכוח בארץ אם אין חפים מפשע, יש חפים מפשע, אני שמה אותו בצד". ככה מנרמלים דה-הומניזציה. כששמים אותה בצד. ואם מישהו לא רוצה לשים אותה בצד, כמו @arad_nir או @mmagadli - שמים אותו בצד
The attack on Odeh started already on the way. This is premeditated. The plan has always been erasure of Arab, Palestinian, and left voices. By any means necessary.
MK @AyOdeh is attacked during a speech at a rally for a hostage deal and end to the war. The right is out for blood—whipped up by Netanyahu and his goons. Political violence has always been Netanayhus MO.
Halfway through and it’s already one of the best books I’ve read in years. The kind of writing and history that reveals a spirit not just of resistance, but of humor sharpened against despair, and dignity held onto even when it seemed absurd. Another @PrincetonUPress banger
A U.S. ambassador just burst into an Israeli courtroom to interfere in a corruption trial—on behalf of a leader facing criminal charges.Democrats impeached Trump over a phone call. Huckabee should be impeached today. America is officially backing despotism and death.
I stopped by the trial of @IsraeliPM in Tel Aviv today. My conclusion? @realDonaldTrump is right…again.
Also murdered alongside Mussallet was Mohammed Razek Hussein al-Shalabi. But his killing won’t be investigated—because he’s just a regular Palestinian. At least Mussallet got an acknowledgment from the doomsday fascist U.S. emissary. These days, it's a miracle.
I have asked @Israel to aggressively investigate the murder of Saif Mussallet, an American citizen who was visiting family in Sinjil when he was beaten to death. There must be accountability for this criminal and terrorist act. Saif was just 20 yrs old.
Today in Tel Aviv: army-bound teens are burning their draft orders in the street. “We won’t take part in genocide. We won’t serve apartheid.” The movement to resist is growing. Refuse-- you are not alone.
The Foreign Press Association condemns settler attacks on journalists—but let’s be honest: Israel’s government has long ago declared open season on the press. The violence isn’t rogue. It’s the point.
