Tawfiq Da’adli’s Hebrew-language short story—“On the Squeezing”—is a deeply unsettling and brilliant meditation on Israel’s genocide in Gaza. For @JewishCurrents I translated and introduced the piece. Many thanks to Nathan Goldman and Maya Rosen for their thoughtful edits.

‘Creeping annexation has been underway for decades, but under this government, it really accelerated. I think we’ve reached a kind of critical mass where we can say plainly that this is annexation.’

I spoke with @YeshDin director Ziv Stahl about Israel’s latest West Bank moves, incl. reopening land registration for the first time since 1967. A formal annexation declaration may never come, she said: “I’ve stopped differentiating between de jure and de facto annexation.” For Palestinians, “the method doesn’t matter.” @972mag 972mag.com/israel-west-ba…

Has Israel crossed the annexation threshold in the West Bank? Six ‘game-changing’ recent cabinet decisions may push the occupation past a tipping point toward permanent Israeli rule, says @Yesh_Din director @ziv_stahl. Interview by @DiklaTaylor. 972mag.com/israel-west-ba…

For @972mag I wrote about how ICE is embracing military targeting apps pioneered by Israel and deployed across Palestine It's the inevitable result years of collaboration between Israel, the US, and AI companies like Palantir 972mag.com

So long as Mohammad Bakri was seen as an actor who happened to be Arab, Israeli society knew how to embrace him. The moment his image changed into that of an Arab who happened to be an actor, he was violently cast out. My new article @972mag 972mag.com/mohammad-bakri…

The Gaza genocide radicalized the world — and there’s no going back People can't unsee a live-streamed annihilation defended under the banner of liberal democracy. They know the Israeli apartheid regime can no longer exist. By Tareq Baconi. 972mag.com/gaza-genocide-…

AI-powered surveillance firms are gunning for a share of the Gaza spoils The presence of Palantir and Dataminr at the new U.S. military compound in Israel offers a glimpse of how tech companies are cashing in on the genocide. @sopgood reports. 972mag.com/ai-surveillanc…

Eric Adams going to play tourist with your tax dollars in a neighborhood under threat of mass eviction right now

One of the most devastating stories I've reported: In Silwan's Batan al-Hawa, Palestinian homes were forcefully emptied of their residents & contents & turned into part of a militarized Jewish settlement. 700 more may face the same fate. W/ @Charritzjack for @972mag

I spoke with activist and former political prisoner Munther Amira about Oslo’s erosion of Palestine’s social fabric, his recent time in Israeli prison, and how Palestinian non-violent resistance is adapting as the line between survival and political struggle blurs. @972mag

"I remember that roof, floating atop the sanctuary; I remember finding no law there, no learning, no language, no Lord; and I realise that I underestimated what I did find there."

“If Jewish-Israelis perform their citizenship out loud — serving in the army, waving the Israeli flag, declaring loyalty to the state — we, Palestinians citizens of Israel, prove our belonging through measured quiet, in what we choose not to say. Our silence is our citizenship.”

“Freedom of expression is not just a principle. It’s something you feel in your pulse, your posture, the way your chest expands when you realize you don’t have to measure every word. It’s physical, and once you’ve known it, the absence is unbearable.”

‘They intended to kill us’: Masafer Yatta reels from bloody settler assaults A series of pogroms in four West Bank villages left residents and activists hospitalized with head wounds, broken bones, and internal bleeding. By @basel_adra and @M7mdHuraini: 972mag.com/masafer-yatta-…

Microsoft announced it is blocking Israel’s access to technology which allowed the mass surveillance of Palestinian civilians, following an investigation we wrote. The first time that a major US tech company sanctions the Israeli military for violating Palestinian rights >

A genuine travesty. I still remember the excitement I felt when I first saw the list of languages taught at UChicago — Yucatec! Tibetan! Old Church Slavonic! The culture of curiosity and learning for learning’s sake that made it such a special place is dead, I guess. I’m very sad

U.S. universities are disciplining Gaza protesters while deepening ties with Israeli higher ed. As @mayaywind notes, framing new partnerships as redress for discrimination is a "cynical but very effective way" to make them untouchable. Latest with @GeorgiaGee14
