Joe Biden took more money from the Israel lobby over the past 34 years than any other politician in Washington.

Catholics are the only religious group other than Muslims with a net unfavorable view of Israel.

This is a ridiculous tweet.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

Only socialism can defeat fascism. If you force people to choose between neoliberalism and fascism, the latter will win every time. The problem with having neoliberals in power is that they'd rather let the fascists win than ever cede power to socialists.

Four-year-old Kinan Abu Mohsen was injured in an Israeli airstrike that killed his father. Doctors in Gaza performed a tracheostomy and removed part of his skull to relieve pressure, but without medicine, they can’t continue his treatment. His wounded mother pleads for his urgent transfer abroad.

Restorative justice means we humanity do everything until our Palestinian siblings live with the same rights, autonomy and dignity that we do, until every home and temple is rebuilt, until each martyr is honoured, until the land grows green again.
People better get used to it because we won’t stop!

Its ruaa @itsmeio.bsky.social · 1d

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.

Israelis continue to spread the genocidal “no innocents in Gaza” line.

One day, hopefully sooner rather than later, they will feign remorse on the hopes that we didn’t see what they were saying the whole time.

Telegram post from News 301 Arab World, translated from Hebrew:

Listen to what the children, the 'innocent and unfortunate' of the Gaza Strip, say about the end of the war - "Congratulations to the Al-Qassam Brigades."

Does Hamas' ideology remain in the Strip or not?
Guess for yourselves...

FYI “Israel” has violated its ceasefire with Hezb*llah at least 1000 times over the past 10 months and has never been held accountable for these violations. Get ready for more of the same.

What we’re seeing in the US is the result of multiple decades of overfunding of police while steadily removing any accountability for their behavior. Despite running on police and ICE reform, nobody gave more $ to the police and ICE than the Biden/Harris admin then they gave the keys to Trump

The @hindrajabfoundation.be welcomes the ceasefire in Gaza as a hopeful pause to the killing. Yet, genocide continues under blockade, starvation, and destruction. Mobilization must continue, justice is the only path to peace.
