There aren’t words strong enough to describe the cowardice and depravity of a “military” that will methodically execute medical workers, bury them in mass graves, and tell the NYT the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without lights on. These soldiers and their superiors are utterly depraved and a threat to all humanity.
Before hiding the bodies in a mass grave, they forgot to grab the cell phone of one of the medics who recorded his own assassination for the world to see — if it cares.
As the “soldiers” are nearing their vehicle, and the medic knows they will murder him, you can hear him saying: “Forgive us, everyone. Oh God, accept me as a martyr and accept my repentance. Oh mother, forgive me, this is the path I have chosen to help people.”

my friend Mahmoud Khalil wrote an op ed for @ColumbiaSpec, dictated to his attorney from his ICE detention facility. everyone should read it.
ALT The logic used by the federal government to target myself and my peers is a direct extension of Columbia’s repression playbook concerning Palestine. In the 18 months since the genocidal campaign in Gaza began, Columbia has not only refused to acknowledge the lives of Palestinians sacrificed for Zionist settler colonialism, but it has actively reproduced the language used to justify this killing. You received countless emails from former University President Minouche Shafik, former interim University President Katrina Armstrong, and the deans of your schools that manufactured public hysteria about antisemitism without once mentioning the tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered under bombs made of your dollars.

“Stand up and speak, tell the world, you are the one who tells the truth, for the image alone is not enough.”
The father of journalist Mohammed Mansour bids farewell to his son with heartbreaking words, urging the voice that once conveyed the truth to a deaf world.

Just to be extra clear, these are deliberate, targeted strikes on journalists that are being carried out

“Rape was mainly done by Israeli female officers inserting objects into the genitals of detainees. We have also documented a case of gang rape by two different soldiers, twice, on a woman in a detention center. She said she was filmed during the assault.”
Kifeya Khraim from the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counseling (WCLAC), a Palestinian NGO, testified at the UN Commission of Inquiry hearing about Palestinian women facing systematic sexual violence and intimidation by Israeli forces, including threats to remain silent after abuse.
She described cases of sexual violence at checkpoints and during Israeli home invasions, where women were forced to strip and perform humiliating acts in front of soldiers.
Khraim also highlighted how the lack of knowledge and legal definitions makes it difficult for women to identify sexual violence. “We have women telling us that inspection devices were inserted inside them without being able to identify that as rape or sexual violence.”

Remember when the entire world spent a week arguing whether Israel attacked a Gaza hospital back in Oct 2023? Now it’s just the norm & Israel doesn’t even pretend it isn’t constantly attacking Gaza hospitals. They literally just blew up a cancer hospital on camera the other day.

Trump said he’d end the war in the Middle East then sent $12B in weapons to Israel + started bombing Yemen.
At the same time, he’s criminalizing anti-war speech + repressing dissent.
This is an authoritarian who'll throw us into a senseless war funded by your taxpayer dollars.

Netanyahu has shattered the ceasefire agreement, indiscriminately killing hundreds of people in Gaza and putting the lives of the remaining hostages at risk. This is after not allowing any food, water, aid, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Arms embargo NOW.
Working Families Party Union 🐺 🇵🇸 retweeted
rather than stand up against fascist administration, armstrong and cu trustees have bent over backwards to cater to zionist interests—even as the genocide in gaza escalates once again.
Things to highlight:
1. THEY ARE OPENING AND “ADVANCING" THE TEL AVIV GLOBAL CENTER
2. de facto columbia police force with power to arrest
2. a mask ban, from a doctor
3. mesaas under what is essentially receivership

This institution has caved to fascism and is throwing their students, the faculty and the Constitution to the wolves. Shame on Columbia.

Israeli civilians were invited to Israeli torture camps to watch nude Palestinians get searched and raped, according to the testimonies of Palestinian women released by the IOF. Both female and male Israeli soldiers raped Palestinian women from Gaza and the West Bank. The testimonies were presented during the UN Commission of Inquiry’s public hearing on March 11, 2025. Kifaya Khraim, International Advocacy Officer at the Women’s Centre for Legal Aid and Counseling, and Witness #3, a Palestinian woman human rights defender, provided detailed accounts of sexual, reproductive, and other forms of gender-based violence committed by Israeli security forces and settlers. This was part of the Commission's third round of hearings to document violations against Palestinians, with a focus on crimes targeting women’s bodies.

“They ordered all of us, men and women, to take off our clothes and to continue walking, ordering us to only look forward. I was walking naked between the tanks, not even wearing underwear. An Israeli soldier spit in my face. I forced myself not to react as I knew they would break every bone in my body if I did” — A Palestinian man recounting his evacuation through Salah al-Din Street, Gaza
