Eyewitness to the Israeli settler attack on Palestinians and @washingtonpost photographer Heidi Levine tells me, “It was barbaric…there were maybe 5 or 6 surrounding her. They had clubs…And they were standing over her, beating her over and over, it was truly horrific. I was worried that she was going to be killed.” - @infinite_jaz

If true, this marks another escalation in the Zionist war against Americans and their civil liberties. Just the other day, @endthecartel26 was arrested and told he might be charged with a hate crime for using colorful language against Israel in public. Now, this Israel-critical mam has apparently been arrested for a social media post— almost always first amendment protected speech— based on accusations by two pro Israel women.
We @adc are fighting the Israel lobby’s attempts to decimate our civil liberties every day, but we don’t have enough attorneys to take on as many cases as I’d like. Please consider supporting our efforts if this is something you care about.
You can do so by going to Adc.org
A good friend of mine, @iElijahManley (ran for Congress against carpet bagger Wasserman Schultz) was just arrested and given a $40,000 bond for a social media post he made back in August.
Two women who are falsely claiming to be victims of the post (which had nothing to do with either of them) are major fundraisers for the Broward SA office.
These womens' social media posts are almost exclusively pro-Israel propaganda.
Elijah passionately spoke up against Israel throughout his campaign.

I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for @JeninYounesEsq and the incredible work she and her colleagues at the @adc do to protect people from government abuses.
When CBP seized journalist Max Blumenthal’s devices, Jenin helped secure their return in less than 24 hours and is now pursuing legal action demanding greater transparency and accountability.
But her work isn't limited to prominent journalists or public figures.
Jenin had never even met me, yet she took the time on very short notice to assist me when I was traveling through CBP.
More recently, she helped another friend whose family was detained at an airport and had their devices seized.
These are just a few examples of the countless people she helps, often quietly and without any public recognition.
And she certainly doesn't do it alone.
There's an entire organization of dedicated people working tirelessly to defend the rights of citizens and noncitizens alike.
Jenin herself probably works 80 hours a week serving a massive community across the country. I genuinely don't know how she does it, but I know that this kind of work takes an enormous personal toll.
The other side has ann entire army of lawyers and organizations. We have our own as well but we don’t know them or support them enough. People like Jenin spend their lives showing up for others. I think it's time we showed up for them.
ADC needs our support and resources to continue this important work and give people like Jenin the relief they deserve.
If you appreciate having people willing to stand up to government abuses, especially when ordinary people have nowhere else to turn, please consider supporting their work.
I'll leave a link below for anyone who wants to contribute. 👇

Israeli settlers, funded and protected by the United States, attacked this female American journalist in her sixties.

This video captures settlers beating Heidi. They clubbed her, kicked her. Pulled her up off the ground to beat her more. Robbed her of all her equipment. If she didn’t have a helmet—and if she was Palestinian—she could be dead.

The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat @washingtonpost journalist Heidi Levine nearly to death. Then the IDF shot a Palestinian bystander, and aimed their guns and shoved the paramedics who were trying to treat him. All of this documented.
Earlier today, IDF and Israel Border Police forces were dispatched to an area adjacent to Khirbet Abu Falah, following a report of a violent confrontation. Foreign media personnel were present at the scene and a female journalist was injured during the confrontation. All details of the incident will be examined. Upon arriving to the scene, the forces acted to disperse the confrontation using riot dispersal means.
At another location where the confrontation took place, IDF soldiers initially fired warning shots into the air and then fired toward a suspect who ran toward them, carrying a sharp object and posed a threat to them. The confrontation was dispersed.
Israeli Police forces and forensic investigators from the Judea and Samaria District will enter the area with IDF security to collect findings and evidence, as well as take testimonies.
Violence against innocent civilians is a grave and intolerable phenomenon that requires a coordinated, multi-agency response. The IDF will work together with the relevant authorities to eradicate this phenomenon.
The IDF strongly condemns this incident. Attempts to incite friction between populations undermine security in the area.

A four-month investigation by Declassified UK revealed that Jonathan Burman, a British national from Manchester, served in the Israeli military during the genocide in Gaza.
Images posted to his Instagram show Burman, linked to the 55th Reserve Paratrooper Brigade, in front of the burning Al-Farabi primary school in Khan Younis, an UNRWA facility previously used by displaced civilians.
Under the Geneva Convention, wanton destruction of property constitutes a war crime. With over 2,000 Britons having served in the Israeli army, UN commissioner Chris Sidoti stated the UK Met Police should investigate Burman.

Three years ago, Israeli forces conducted a targeted double-tap strike on seven journalists in southern Lebanon that killed Reuters video journalist Issam Abdallah and injured six other journalists. In the years since, members of the press in Lebanon say continued Israeli attacks, combined with the absence of accountability, have changed how they work. Read more: cpj.org/2026/10/i-do-not-fee…

Getting rid of the "far right Netanyahu government" as Bernie Sanders calls it, will likely not stop Israel's ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon. The Israeli "opposition" is completely devoted to this project.

💢 Israeli forces have mostly leveled 48 of the roughly 60 villages and towns in occupied southern Lebanon, according to a New York Times analysis. Most of the destruction came after the April ceasefire.
The Times found the razing was largely carried out through controlled demolitions. Nearly all the destroyed villages were majority Shia, while Christian, Druze and Sunni villages were largely spared. About 270,000 people remain barred from returning home.

This does not worry the Lebanese ruling regime:
“Today, 48 of the roughly 60 villages and towns within Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon are mostly leveled, the Times analysis shows.”

Today, 48 of the roughly 60 villages and towns within Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon have been mostly leveled. The scale of Israel’s systematic demolition has fueled fears that Israel is seeking to permanently empty the territory of its population.

All media outlets in Israel, even the most liberal ones, prop up the Kahanist movement by refusing to report that top government officials @ItamarBenGvir and @Rothmar were trained by Baruch Ben Yosef and Keith Fuchs, 2 of the 3 assassins of Palestinian-American activist Alex Odeh
Suspects were identified. Evidence was gathered. Decades later, there has still been no accountability for the killing of Palestinian American activist Alex Odeh.

Internal emails shows the Biden state department was referring to what happened to me as “kidnapping” by IDF - and even then they didn’t say a single thing publicly.
The State Department has finally responded to my FOIA request for internal emails about my arrest and incarceration by the IDF. The release includes 105 pages of emails sent and received while I was in prison, followed by another 41 pages from the period when I remained inside Israel, without my phone or passport, and subjected to more than 20 hours of interrogation. The emails reveal U.S. officials scrambling behind the scenes to figure out how to handle my case. Despite all the internal activity, the State Department said absolutely nothing publicly about my case.
On the very same day I was blindfolded and arrested at a checkpoint outside of Nablus, a State Dept. official sent a memo to everyone saying "The 7th Floor (Blinken) and the White House are tracking this story closely."

The word “classroom” is doing a lot of heavy lifting to describe the tents and tarp coverings that make up Gaza schools now. A “room” implies walls and a floor and ceiling, which Israel systematically destroyed and has prevented reconstruction of.
A U.S. charity in Gaza is worried that teachers at its schools might stray from a curriculum it says promotes peace and tolerance, so it plans to record classroom conversations and use artificial intelligence to flag speech deemed “hateful” or “inciting.” apnews.com/article/gaza-chil…

I’m old enough to remember the uproar when President Ronald Reagan visited the Nazi war cemetery in Bitburg, Germany in 1985. Jewish groups didn’t think there should be “room to mourn” Nazi SS genocide perpetrators. But in 2026 it’s normal to tell Palestinians to “mourn” for those occupying, ethnically cleansing and exterminating them.
Zohran Mamdani: “I believe there must be room to mourn every single life. There must be room to mourn the lives of the more than 1,100 Israelis that Hamas killed three years ago. There must be room to mourn the 74K Palestinians the Israeli government had killed since. What I so appreciated about being at the vigil yesterday evening, as I had been the year before, is that it was a vigil that brought together New Yorkers to read testimonies of their own family members, of others who’ve been killed either on the day or in the genocide since and ends with a shared vision for peace and for an end to the genocide”
