Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

Democrats Are Getting a Brutal Lesson in How Much the Politics on Israel Have Changed

From Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom, party bigwigs are finding out the hard way that the old platitudes don’t work anymore.

We survived the genocide in Gaza, but our homes and dreams were buried under the rubble. Today we live without shelter or safety, fighting just to survive. With your support, we can rebuild what was stolen from us and give our children a chance to live and hope again 💔🇵🇸

The 27 members pressing the Trump admin to free an American teen from Israeli detention cite a similar case as warning:

17-year-old Palestinian Walid Ahmad, like Mohammed, was detained for months without charges, facing abuse & poor conditions.

In March, he collapsed and died.

NEW — 27 members of Congress press Marco Rubio & Mike Huckabee to free Palestinian-American teen Mohammed Ibrahim from Israeli detention.

They also note Israeli settlers killed Mohammed's cousin, Sayfollah, a 20-year-old US citizen, in July — and Israeli authorities haven't arrested anyone for it.

The Honorable Marco Rubio
Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State Washington, D.C. 20520
The Honorable Mike Huckabee
U.S. Ambassador to Israel
U.S. Embassy Jerusalem
14 David Flusser
Jerusalem 9378322, Israel
Dear Secretary Rubio and Ambassador Huckabee,
We write with grave concern regarding the detention without trial of Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim. Mohammed is a U.S. citizen from Florida who was reportedly blindfolded, handcuffed, and arrested on February 16th, 2025 when Israeli forces reportedly entered his family home in al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya at 3 a.m. He was detained when he was 15 years old and turned 16 in prison. He has been accused of throwing rocks at Israeli settlers, but no evidence has been publicly provided to support this allegation. As you know, Palestinians are subject to military law in the West Bank and are tried in military courts where there have been well-documented concerns about Palestinians not receiving fair due process. Mohammed is also the first cousin of Saifullah Kamel Musallet, the 20-year-old U.S. citizen who was reportedly beaten to death by Israeli settlers in July 2025. To date, no one has been arrested concerning his killing.
While U.S. embassy officials have been able to conduct visits, Mohammed has been denied all other contact with the outside world and his family has not been able to contact him since his detention. Senators Van Hollen and Merkley met with Mohammed's family in the West Bank, and Rep. Castor, Rep. Frost, and other members also met with his family separately. His family has received updates from U.S. embassy staff and former detainees who described his alarming weight loss, deteriorating health, and signs of torture as his court hearings continue to be routinely postponed. His family reports that Mohammed has lost nearly a quarter of his body weight and contracted scabies after being detained in Megiddo Prison and now in Ofer Prison.
We are concerned about reports of the mistreatment of Palestinians in Israeli …

The $71.5 million spent so far has paid for guns and armor, chemical munitions, “guided missile warheads," and "explosive components.”

Solidarity to all my homies in Massachusetts for putting the pressure on your elected officials to not accept AIPAC money. It’s great to see even the most centrist corporate Dems like Moulton, who couldn’t hold a candle to Markey’s legacy, change their tune on AIPAC donations ✊🏾

Rep. Seth Moulton just returned AIPAC’s checks, joining Democrats and even Republicans who refuse to be tied to a lobby enabling genocide in Gaza.
The tide is turning.

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.
