Ro Khanna on Israel: “The Democratic Party needs to be very clear. We need to call it a genocide. We need to say zero aid. We need to say zero military sales that are being used to kill civilians. And we need to say in the first week we’re gonna recognize a Palestinian State, put an embassy in Ramallah and East Jerusalem, and we’re gonna stop protecting Israel in the United Nations”

You probably don’t know this man, but you should.
Throughout the genocidal war, he devoted his time and energy to fighting the drug trade in Gaza, which was supported by Israel. Just a few days ago, Israel killed him by bombing his vehicle while he was on a mission to seize a shipment of drugs.
Israel bombed his home and killed his children (Ahmed 11& Rasha 10) yet he never gave up. He continued to resist in his own way.
After everything he endured, he remained a man of extraordinary courage, integrity, and determination.
His name was Arafat Alareer!
For 15 years, I had the privilege of knowing him. He was one of the finest men I have ever known.
May he rest in peace after years of tireless dedication and immense sacrifice.

This is how ethnic cleansing in the West Bank is happening in practice, as admitted by and covered by the Israeli media. Settlers claim a house. The army declares a “closed military zone.” The Palestinian owner is locked out. The settlers move in. Mohammed has the license, 13 police complaints, and a High Court petition. He hasn’t been home in a year and a half. Israel has literally stolen his home, as they have done to Palestinians for generations.

I’m Jewish. I’m proud. And I have been working my ass off as the Co-Executive Director of Fighting for Michigan PAC, the IE for @abdulelsayed that beat back over $45M in AIPAC spending.
That’s it. I’m in awe of my friend Abdul, and I’m so, so hopeful about our future.

Egyptian-American surgeon Adam Hamawy, who volunteered in Gaza during the genocidal war and performed more than 100 surgical operations, has won a seat in the U.S. Congress representing the state of New Jersey, becoming the first Muslim to represent the state in its history.

The BBC consistently interrupts every guest that criticises Israel with a defence on their behalf: “Israel would say [insert genocide justification here]”
They say they do this for “transparency” and “due impartiality”.
If they were honest about that, they would also add the other things Israel themselves have said.
Allow us to demonstrate:
1. “Israel would say [genocide justification] although Isaac Herzog, Israel’s President did say on 12 October 2023 ‘It is an entire nation out there that is responsible’”
2. “Israel would say [genocide justification]. Netanyahu did also say in a letter to his soldiers on November 2023 that Gaza is a ‘holy war of total annihilation’”
3. “Israel would say [genocide justification]. On 9 October 2023, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant also said ‘We are fighting against human animals.’”
4. “Israel Katz, the Energy Minister on 13 October 2023, did say that Gaza's civilians would ‘not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.’”
5. “Bezalel Smotrich, Finance Minister in August 2024 said starving two million people “might be just and moral until they return the hostages.’”
The BBC has consistently hidden behind “transparency” and “due impartiality” to defend Israel at every opportunity.
But their cherry-picking of what they say after “Israel says”, is telling of just how opaque and partial they are.
“Israel says” is not inherently bad, if one actually says what Israel says.

"I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people.
AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism
The most dangerous thing is expanding antisemitism to include criticism of Israel"

Absolutely Correct!

Abdul El-Sayed:
To AIPAC, who spent $42 million against us: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to beat you twice.
AIPAC isn't Jewish Organization and doesn't represent Jews.

I'm a doctor in the UK with Palestinian family. I spoke out against genocide and jewish supremacy. My medical licence was suspended.
Dr Eastland Staveley, a jewish GP, said he didn't shoot enough babies in Gaza. He is practising medicine freely in Britain.
They proved my point.

I am a very proud Jew and a very proud anti-Zionist, and if anyone has a problem with either of those things, they can fuck right off.

Israeli government TV admits that its operation in Hebron, which has involved the ethnic cleansing of entire neighborhoods, has unearthed no arms. Despite lies that Hebron was full of terrorists, only one rifle and one pistol were found in a search of hundreds of homes. The people of Hebron are peaceful, and even the IDF admits this operation is pointless and needs to end.

Hundreds of families have been in the street with nowhere to go since they were forced out of their homes by Netanyahu’s thugs in Al Khaleel

It’s a skit, and it’s barely an exaggeration. In this dark comedy filmed by young Palestinians in Gaza, an Israeli officer phones a man and orders him up to the roof so he can be bombed. His friend grabs the phone and tells the officer to bomb them all, because after three years of chasing charity kitchens and water, and being preyed on by profiteers, this isn’t living anyway. Palestinians in Gaza laugh because they know the call is real. The Israeli occupation army phones people to tell them their building is about to be destroyed, then often bombs it minutes later, before families can get out.
That’s what happened in Al-Sabra in Gaza City this month, where a mother and a child were killed and others were left wounded inside. The calls aren’t mercy. They’re one more way to terrorise people. Since the ceasefire, Israeli drones have repeatedly struck people on rooftops. Earlier this month in Jabalia camp, a drone killed a young man on the roof of his family’s home. Accounts shared widely online say an Israeli officer called him first and threatened to wipe out his entire family unless he climbed up to the roof alone, so they could kill him there. He went up to save them, and they killed him. When reality is this cruel, dark humour becomes one of the few ways Gaza has left to say it out loud.
