HORRIFIC: A video shows an Israeli settler killing a dog in the Palestinian village of Atara in the West Bank, beating the dog to death with sticks. Barbarians.

Israel’s been raping Palestinian prisoners for years. In 1979, I interviewed 8 Palestinians who’d been raped in grotesque ways while in prison. When an Israeli official exposed rape, she was fired. They do it, can’t deny it, & suing @NickKristof & @nytimes won’t make it go away

If you say the US has no interest in continuing war in Iran, and Trump is only doing it to serve Israel and the Gulf State tyrannies he loves and that enrich his family, you'll be called an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. But then Trump just comes out and says it himself:
Max Blumenthal@MaxBlumenthal

Trump explains why the US has attacked Iran without provocation, sending the global economy into crisis: "We're doing it to help Israel" and the Gulf dictatorships

Wendy was arrested by local police and detained. She begged officers not to keep Oliver, her 3 year old, separate from her. ICE refused. Her beautiful, kind son is now dead.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Ro is not one of the most pro-Palestine members of Congress, despite what some on the left think. But he is one of the most moveable. So if people tweet "Ro, why aren't you cosponsoring this?" there's a decent chance he'll just go and cosponsor it.
Prem Thakker@prem_thakker

Update: Ro Khanna is now co-sponsoring Rashida Tlaib’s resolution to recognize the Nakba (the mass exclusion and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their homes). Now 5 new co-sponsors since last year. 14 in total.

⭕️ Israeli Commission Reviewed 1,800 Hours of Footage for October 7 Rape Report — Never Claimed Any of It Showed a Rape, Electronic Intifada Notes​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 🔸The new 300-page report on alleged October 7 sexual violence, promoted by CNN and the BBC as a landmark document, analyzed more than 10,000 photographs and video segments totaling over 1,800 hours, “never says that any of those materials depict an actual rape or gang rape in progress,” according to The Electronic Intifada. The finding is consistent with the UN’s own March 2024 review, which found “no tangible indications of rape” in thousands of photos and videos provided by the Israeli government, EI notes. 🔸 EI also flags that among the listed “valued partners” of the Civil Commission — the Israeli-founded body that produced the report — are Microsoft and the government of Canada.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Full details ⬇️

I promised. I delivered. My debunking of Israel’s latest reboot of the 7 October mass-rapes hoax: A "landmark" report built from old claims, liars and grifters, repackaged for complicit media. No victim count. No case list. No evidence of mass rapes. electronicintifada.net/content/israel…

Wild to think about how if Kristof lived in Gaza or the West Bank, the Israeli military would likely by now have just announced he was aiding terrorism and blown him up with guided missiles, as they’ve done to countless Palestinian journalists over the last three years.

@Andercot I think the issue with VR (less so AR) is that people increasingly want shallow, asynchronous interactions: texts vs calls, clips vs movies, tweets vs novels and VR is the opposite of that: singular, immersive, isolating. AR may resolve this, but it’s not good enough yet

The absolute non-takeoff of VR and AR is probably one of the big upsets in consumer electronics history Pretty much everyone thought this would be huge and it sort of just isn't

A few weeks ago we published the first hand account of a German journalist raped in Israeli custody. She co-wrote the piece with an American journalist, who was also abused repeatedly. So Israeli prison guards will do that to Germans and Americans, but not to Palestinians?
Hillel Fuld@HilzFuld

No IDF soldier has ever raped any Palestinian. Period. End of story. And if you think a dog can rape a person, you’re different level ignorant. The entire blood libel of sexual violence by the IDF is the mother of all projections. Like many other things, want to know what Israel’s enemies are guilty of? Look what they accuse Israel of. Full stop. It never happened and never will. - The end

In Chile, the use of dogs to rape people is sadly well known because of the Pinochet government’s tenure. An Oscar-nominated film was made about the woman who engaged in this torture tactic. She was called “Woman of the Dogs.”

Scratching my head at all this anti-Jewish sentiment emerging after 2.5 years of relentless slaughter by the country with a Star of David on its flag. It must be the fault of NYU kids
