היום מתנחלים ביצעו פוגרום במסאפר יטא, ואז הציגו נרטיב מופרך שאומץ על-ידי (רוב) העיתונאים בארץ. צפו בסרטון: נערי גבעות רעולי פנים נותנים מכות רצח עם אלות לנער בן 17, קוסאי, כשאמא שלו, עלא, צועקת באימה ברקע. תפעילו סאונד. והנה הסיפור המלא >>

There is a German word, Gleichschaltung, that everyone should know. Because right now universities and institutions are being asked for conform to Trump's agenda in exchange for funding.
Here is one passage from Hannah Arendt's "Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship":

"Businessmen became politicians and were acclaimed as statesmen, while statesmen were taken seriously only if they talked the language of successful businessmen."
— Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

My latest story on @972mag about the absence of firing regulations in Gaza. "I can count on one hand the cases where we were told not to shoot. Even with sensitive things like schools, [approval] feels like only a formality" told me one of the soldiers
Israeli soldiers describe the near-total absence of firing regulations in the Gaza war, with troops shooting as they please, setting homes ablaze, and leaving corpses on the streets — all with their commanders’ permission.

Reminded of the time someone reported Hannah Arendt for "advocating a totalitarian philosophy in her political courses," when she was teaching a course on her book The Origins of Totalitarianism.
Arendt's FBI file
Ahmad, like any teenager, harbors dreams of education and a brighter future. If you can, please help support Ahmad's journey to Egypt, where he can finish his high school education and strive towards his dreams.
