Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done.
Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

"The enemy is Gaza, not Hamas.”
Speaking to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin said that the entire population in Gaza, children, are the “enemy”, while framing total forced expulsion, permanent annexation, and settlement in Gaza as a moral obligation

This endless destruction is why Netanyahu does not allow journalists into Gaza. If he actually believed that Israeli had shown great restraint and that public perceptions were mistaken, we'd all be invited in with cameras. But Bibi doesn't want the devastation documented or the survivors interviewed.

Wow!
We are now starting to see the repercussions of the revelations that Netanyahu knew about intelligence of a pending Hamas attack weeks before Oct 7 but chose not only to do nothing, but also not to share the intel with Israeli intelligence services.
Now, the father of one of the Israelis killed at the NOVA Festival accuses one of Netanyahu's ministers - Miri Regev - of rescuing her own daughter at 4.45am on Oct 7 while leaving everyone else there to die.
The official story is that Netanyahu didn't know about the attack until 6:29 that morning. Yet one of his ministers pulled her daughter out of the festival at 4.45am...

In a video shared online, an Israeli delegation member appears to be taking note of the country envoys that walked out of the UN's General Assembly as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered his speech.

Billionaire New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft wants you to know he has spent “decades” supporting the Palestinian people. But The Intercept dug into his claim and found that he actually has spent years donating to.... Friends of the IDF and AIPAC?
Kraft has also given money to a host of pro-Israel advocacy groups that attack critics of Israel, spread content that critics warn is Islamophobic, and have steadfastly defended Israel against mounting evidence of its ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

A disabled Australian woman accidentally pocket-dialed a JEWISH nutritionist. Nobody spoke, just noise from her bag.
The nutritionist interpreted it as gunfire targeting her for being Jewish.
Her complaint landed the woman in court on a charge carrying up to five years in jail

Hillary Clinton and others want us to think that once Netanyahu is out of the way, the US-Israel alliance can return to normal. But the problems of Israel go beyond one bad prime minister or one bad government.

Live on air, one year ago today: Israel bombed journalists and Civil Defense teams as they tried to retrieve the body of journalists killed in an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Gaza.

From the October 2025 ceasefire deal, to the 30 July 2026 Board of Peace “historic” agreement with Hamas on decommissioning, to its almost immediate U-turn under Israeli pressure, our new @CrisisGroup report tells the story of a process that has failed to deliver most of its promises, a victim of Israeli obstructionism & opposition to any form of Palestinian self-rule & of a dysfunctional, lopsided U.S.-led process.
Ten months on, there is no Israeli withdrawal, no reconstruction, aid is still restricted, & almost everyone in Gaza is crammed into a third of the strip.
Changing this script will require raising the cost to Israel of blocking aid, continuing military strikes, & preventing any Palestinian self-governance. Otherwise, Gaza's 2.1 million Palestinians risk being consigned to permanent deprivation.

Since the start of this genocide, all we have heard over and over from the U.S. and other Western govts and actors is that the victims of genocide need to be more sensitive to the “feelings” of the genocidaires….
🟢 Senior Hamas official Basem Naim tells CNN that Board of Peace mediators and U.S. adviser Jared Kushner are asking Hamas to be “sensitive” to Benjamin Netanyahu’s political position ahead of Israel’s upcoming election over the already-agreed Gaza roadmap.
“It is not my duty as a Palestinian to take care of the sensitivity of the timing of the deal for Netanyahu,” Naim said.
“We have heard this from Mr. Kushner and the other members of the delegation, that you have to keep in mind that Netanyahu is now passing through a very delicate time.”
Naim said Israel has fulfilled none of its phase-one obligations, including on humanitarian aid and has escalated its massacres in Gaza since Hamas and the Board agreed on a roadmap covering weapons decommissioning and Israeli withdrawal.
“As a Palestinian, I am not in a position to pay the price from the bodies and blood and the lives of our people in order to secure the victory of Netanyahu’s election,” Naim said.

I can't believe that the IDF lied about murdering kids. It's so out of character for them.
Israel only admits crimes when they're caught red-handed in front of the world committing them (droning the World Food Aid cars, destroying Christian iconography in Lebanon, slaughtering aid workers and buying their ambulances in Gaza but forgetting to destroy the cell phone footage, etc).
Otherwise they just lie and deny everything and call everyone who documents it an anti-Semite.
The Israeli military acknowledged firing on a car carrying 5-year-old Hind Rajab in Gaza after earlier denials as it opens a criminal probe into the January 2024 killing. cnn.it/3U6I6jU

Demagogues can’t address the crises facing working families — inequality, low wages, healthcare, housing, etc.
Instead, they try to divide us through racism, including a shocking rise in Islamophobia.
Let’s stand together against the oligarchs and fight all forms of bigotry.

Religious extremists funded with US tax dollars are free to murder Americans in Israel’s occupied territories, and the administration does nothing. Here’s the father of one young victim of Israeli terrorism.
