#Jordan: CPJ is alarmed by reports that U.S.-Jordanian journalist Ali Younes is facing trial and a travel ban in Jordan under the cybercrime law, which has frequently been used to target journalists and publishers. If convicted, Younes could face up to three years in prison. We call on Jordanian authorities to drop the charges against Younes and immediately lift the travel ban imposed on him

🇺🇸 🇯🇴 It's deeply concerning that American journalist @aliyounesUS has been detained and is currently banned from leaving Jordan for allegedly sharing an @amconmag article.
Hopefully, @USEmbassyJordan will work to facilitate his safe return to the U.S.

Leading legal efforts here in the US for Mr. Ali Younes, an American journalist currently detained in Jordan over an alleged retweet. Below is a statement from our office regarding the case.
Jordan must drop all charges immediately, and allow Mr. Younes to come back home. The Trump Administration needs to make this happen.

Just now - an explosion in DC on the corner of Georgia and Peabody NW. Newspaper box destroyed, vehicles nearby damaged. Luckily, no one was physically hurt. Two people dropped the explosive in the Newspaper Box before running into the McDonalds. Officers are investigating.
Has @tmz ever brought on Randy Fine? Covered any of his comments this way?
Dan Bilzerian's standing by his assertion that his opponent for a seat in Congress is a "fat Jew" ... while simultaneously insisting he's anti-Jewish, not antisemitic.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Dan Bilzerian never “insists he’s anti-Jewish” like the headline of this video claims.

The guy is offended by Shotted 😂
Wait till he learns of the Yemeni coffee shops expanding across the country.
Or that Shotted has a few more locations across VA.
I will never understand how some people are against small businesses.

Fortunately there was a documentary about his murder making the rounds at film festivals this year: Sundance, and the Berlinale so far but more screenings scheduled. I hope it gets a wide release so more people can learn about him.

You need to fix this chart.
Alex Odeh was the @adc Director. It was our office in Santa Ana that was bombed. Not the ADL office.
No one has been charged with his assassination, despite all leads pointing to the JDL.
Wild stuff.

The First Amendment matters. We’ve filed suit.
The First Amendment protects the rights of individuals to engage with their elected officials on social media, when those officials use their accounts to conduct government business. We @adc along with @HassanShibly are suing @RepFine on behalf of @amasad for blocking Masad for pushing back on Fine’s bigoted rhetoric against Muslims. See you in Court, Congressman!

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) National has launched a billboard campaign in New York City’s Times Square during Christmas celebrations.
The billboards claimed that “Jesus is Palestinian”, as they wished a “Merry Christmas”.
A second billboard featured verses from the Qur’an (3:45) about Jesus’ birth.
ADC described the billboards as “an act of cultural resilience”.
Christians and Christianity are under attack in the birthplace of Jesus - doesn’t matter what you want to call it. There is no disputing that.
This billboard upset more people than the actual attack on Christians by Israel. You may disagree with it, but it finally got you talking about Christians and Palestine.
The Israel First crowd really got triggered today because they don’t want you to know Christians reside in Palestine, including in Gaza.
They want to push back against us so much that the Israeli Foreign Minister purchased ad space on the same billboard to counter us.
At least we didn’t use American taxpayers dollars for our ads.
There is a bigger story behind our billboard, and others we’ve posted at that spot in Times Square. A part of the story the @nypost and others said they “can’t write about” after it was exposed.
Why can’t they write about it? Who is behind their attacks?
🤔
Merry Christmas!
They are not enraged. They loved it! Wish you would have responded and covered the story sent to you about this location - and the fact that the Israeli government is purchasing ad buys at this spot and across NYC.
Always, Merry Christmas!!!
New Yorkers enraged over Times Square Christmas billboard that proclaims 'Jesus is Palestinian' trib.al/bGpuznt
We’ve been putting up billboards at this location all year. We’ve had some great ones over the past few months. We have one coming up for New Years - or maybe we keep the current ones up?
Funny that the @nypost would write an article about a billboard that hasn’t been up in a couple weeks. The “Jesus is Palestinian” billboard was up weeks ago.
This is the billboard that is up now. Know why they won’t write about this billboard? Because they can’t dispute it.
Another example media twisting the facts for clicks!
Merry Christmas!!!!
🇵🇸🇺🇸 "JESUS IS PALESTINIAN" BILLBOARD HITS TIMES SQUARE ON CHRISTMAS-NOBODY'S ARGUING THEOLOGY, THIS IS TERRITORIAL WARFARE
American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee drops a Times Square billboard on Christmas Day: "Jesus is Palestinian."
Not "Jesus was born in the region now called Palestine."
Not "Jesus lived under occupation."
Just flat claim: Palestinian.
The timing's surgical. Christmas Day. Times Square. Maximum tourist traffic. Christians celebrating the birth of Christ while staring at a billboard that recategorizes him as a modern political identity that didn't exist until the 20th century.
Here's the game: this isn't about Jesus's actual ethnicity (he was Jewish, born in Judea, spoke Aramaic). It's about ownership. If Jesus is Palestinian, then Palestine has deeper claim to the land than Israel. It's staking historical legitimacy through religious figure appropriation.
It works because most people won't think past the initial claim. Bethlehem's in the West Bank. Jesus was born there. West Bank = Palestinian territory.
Therefore Jesus = Palestinian. The logic feels clean until you remember "Palestinian" as a national identity didn't exist 2000 years ago.
The billboard lands the same week:
Pope Leo uses Christmas sermon to decry conditions in Gaza. Israel approves 19 new settlements. Epstein's island documents show Prince Andrew asking for "inappropriate friends." Russia analyzes U.S. peace proposals for Ukraine without Kyiv in the room.
Everything's about claiming narrative territory. Russia rewrites Ukraine's future without Ukrainian input. Israel builds physical facts on the ground. ADC rewrites Jesus's identity on a billboard.
What happens next: Pro-Israel groups call it antisemitic revisionism. Pro-Palestine groups call it historical truth-telling.
Nobody changes their mind. The billboard stays up. The message spreads on social media. Mission accomplished.
This isn't evangelism at all.
It's nothing but messaging warfare using the world's most famous religious figure as ammunition during Christianity's biggest holiday.
Jesus can't correct the record. That's why he's useful.

Merry Christmas from Times Square! From all of us at the @adc family!
