@MicahLasher Using a house of worship to shield a sale of stolen land is depraved and condemnable and deserves protest from people of good conscience.

What’s unacceptable is using a synagogue as an auction site for stolen land. If you support these actions you bring shame upon Jews everywhere, doubly so because you self-victimize as you do it. If you really worry about the kids then you should worry about the example you set

The pre-school at Park East Synagogue was forced to close early because it could not ensure safe dismissal. When children can’t safely leave school, something is deeply wrong. This is unacceptable.

Israel has wiped out 39 villages in South Lebanon and destroyed 40,000 homes. 39 centuries-old historic villages entirely erased from the map. In just 60 days. This is ethnic cleansing. This is terrorism. And not a peep from the complicit “international community”, of course.

The lack of news on Gaza isn’t because the genocide is over. It’s because Israel slaughtered the journalists and Western media pretends there’s a ceasefire.

“If they can do this to us, they can do it to anyone.” Believe it. We were stopped at sea—4,000 km from Israel. Unarmed. Civilian. International waters. If this is allowed, no one is safe.

Israel says the 2 abducted men in international Waters from Sumud aid flotilla will not be released. Lawyer for Brazilian national Thiago Avila, and Spanish Saif. Abu Keshek says they have been abused in custody. Brazil and Spain say their abduction and detention are illegal‼️

@LibyaLiberty Same on our end. Those of us with Christian Arab heritage are equally heartbroken when we see the horrific destruction of mosques as well. Destruction of cultural heritage in a place so wildly diverse in religions and cultures as the Middle East, is genuinely heartbreaking.

American activist Hannah Claire Smith, who was aboard a Global Sumud Flotilla vessel when Israeli forces illegally intercepted the convoy in international waters near Crete on Wednesday night, is calling on Americans and international audiences to demand the release of two of her colleagues abducted and transferred to Israeli custody. The two are Thiago de Avila, a Brazilian national, and Saif Abukeshek, a Spanish-Swedish national with Palestinian ID. Both were separated from other passengers and, according to their legal representatives, beaten, blindfolded, and held in isolation for days at sea before being transferred to an Israeli prison, where they remain in detention. More than 200 other participants were eventually released. Legal advocates say the seizure, which took place roughly 80 nautical miles west of Crete, far from Israeli waters, had no basis in international law. 🎥 via hannah.claire.smith (IG)

🔸New: Israeli Court Extends Detention of Abducted Flotilla Activists by Two Days An Israeli court in Ashkelon extended the detention of Global Sumud Flotilla activists Thiago de Avila and Saif Abukeshek until May 5, following their abduction by the Israeli navy in international waters on April 30, according to Adalah, the Palestinian legal rights organization representing them. The state sought a four-day extension, citing suspicions including assisting the enemy during wartime and membership in a “terrorist” organization. No formal charges have been filed. Adalah attorneys argued the entire proceeding is illegal, saying Israel has no jurisdiction over foreign nationals seized in international waters. Both men, who have testified to beatings, isolation, and blindfolding amounting to torture, are continuing their hunger strike. Source: Adalah 📸 By Yoav Etiel, Walla

'israel' has murdered more journalists than any entity in history. More than in WWI, WWII, the Vietnam War, and the Afghanistan war combined. In 2023, 2024, & 2025, 'israel' was responsible for the vast majority of journalist deaths worldwide. May they rest in eternal peace.

🚨World Press Freedom Day 308 Palestinian journalists in Gaza have been killed by Israel since October 7, 2023, making this the deadliest war for media workers in history. #WorldPress

There is nothing left to discuss. Every major human rights organization including an independent panel by the UN has concluded what Israel did to Gaza is a GENOCIDE yet Democrats are still joining Republicans in denying the genocide in order to protect Israel. It is unforgivable.
