Odeh just died. Murdered.
An Israeli settler just shot Odeh Hadalin in the lungs, a remarkable activist who helped us film No Other Land in Masafer Yatta. Residents identified Yinon Levi, sanctioned by the EU and US, as the shooter. This is him in the video firing like crazy.

Chat, is cancer research woke? The Trump administration seems to think so, having erased hundreds of millions of dollars being used for cancer research in a move that seems to be part of its anti-DEI, anti-trans, and anti-vaccine agendas. wired.com/story/how-trum…
De 'joods-christelijke traditie': sinds 9/11 vaste slogan van rechtse politici. Gekke is alleen: vóór WOII komt de term nauwelijks voor. Over de geschiedenis vh christelijk antisemitisme en de onvoorwaardelijke steun aan Israël schreef ik in @DeGroene groene.nl/artikel/een-go…
That Israel is suddenly permitting airdrops of food into Gaza is a “distraction" from its continuing obstruction of most aid delivery, says UNRWA. Airdrops are "expensive, inefficient and can even kill starving civilians.” trib.al/kCYrfS9
Protests have erupted in Egypt’s Dakahlia Governorate after the death of Ayman Sabry, a young man who reportedly died under torture while in police custody at Belqas police station. Local residents gathered outside the Belqas courthouse demanding justice, as news of Sabry’s…

WATCH: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, speaking in Hebrew from Ramon Air Base, addressed the Israeli public to explain why he is now being “forced” to allow “minimal humanitarian aid” into Gaza. “Let it be clear that we will achieve our goal and destroy Hamas,” he said. “To…
“In any path we choose, we will be forced to allow the entry of minimal humanitarian aid.” Unbelievable—Netanyahu just admitted something today, speaking in Hebrew to the Israeli public, that shatters every excuse his government and its allies have been feeding the world. With…
