A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

The ceasefire won't last that long

Israel will return to bombing the moment the Israeli captives are freed.

Get ready for the biggest deal to be made by the media about the Israel-Hamas war; it’ll be presented as the most significant peace deal made since WW2

In reality, a war was ended between one of the most advanced militaries and a 15,000 member, barely-equipped militant group

For 2 years the IDF used fake 3D setpieces to propagandize about "terror bases" purpose-built under hospitals, schools, & refugee camps.

Their massacre of countless innocent Palestinians was framed, in this view, as necessary.

The mainstream press spread this genocidal lie completely uncritically.

All of what you've written: bullshiat, according to ISRAELI historians no less.
Palestinians displaced BEFORE Israel declared statehood (hence UN condition of repatriation for recognition of Israel, to which Israel AGREED but never delivered) and SINCE, TERRORIZED out by Zionist militia/settlers.

Alice is perfectly correct. Before Israel even declared statehood, the Zionist prestate terror militias had violently expelled 350,000 Palestinians. The remainder of the 750,000 Palestinians displaced by Israel during the initiation of Nakba occurred after statehood declaration by Israel.

Absolutely.
