RTing this so I can pin it. 👌🏻

I'm very openly trans. Spent a lot of time in Palestinian villages and cities, weeks at a time, over multiple years. Had many conversations about being Jewish, a rabbi, and trans. I came away with many meaningful conversations, great friends, and commitment to our work.

Tara moved to Israel five years ago from Texas. Her message to the Palestinians living in Palestine is simple: 'Leave or we will kill you!' Perhaps this conflict isn't that complicated after all...

Bill Maher: I don’t believe in God. Me: cool. Bill Maher: Israel was promised 3,000 years ago. Me: by who? Bill Maher: by God.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

Israel in English: Accusing us of r*pe is a blood libel😿 Israel in Hebrew: We MUST r*pe Palestinians & make it official "regulated policy of the state"😼 Translation is Israel's Achilles' heel & kryptonite. The worst curse on their Hasbara machine. One click & it crumbles!

IDF soldier says: “We are going to erase Gaza. Send them to Libya or we murder them all.” He even admits to shooting missiles from Gaza to make excuses for Israel to bomb Gaza.

what happened over the past few days is pretty amazing. The Israeli regime knew Nick Kristof was going to publish his NYT piece on their actual systematic rape of Palestinians including children and the use of dogs to rape, so they fabricated a new "report", the most insane one yet copy-pasted together by a proven fraud that repeats all the already debunked falsehoods and relies entirely on known proven hoaxers, and they actually got the NYT, BBC, CNN, AP, Reuters to launder it for them a day after the Kristof piece came out to bury it. They own the entire media class completely.

14 Palestinian victims of brutal rapes and sexual tortures shared their stories with a two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, who published his findings in the NYT. One day later, the main public conversation on the report is its effect on the feelings of Israelis.

HOLY SHIT 🤢 Far-right Israeli politicians stormed a university in Israel during a Palestinian Nakba commemoration. Screaming that another Nakba is coming and that the ethnic cleansing is unfinished. Satanic behavior.

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

Les prisonniers palestiniens, hommes et femmes, mais aussi des enfants, sont abusés sexuellement et violés dans les prisons israéliennes.

Deranged Kahanist settler-soldier Elkana Federman continues to abuse Palestinian abductees in the West Bank, as part of his army service. This time he set a dog on a frightened, cuffed and blindfolded abductee. I don't want to imagine what this Judeo-Nazi sicko does off-camera.

📣 “How to Sell a Genocide”. C’est le livre d’@adamjohnsonCHI sur le rôle des médias 🇺🇸 dans le génocide à Gaza, dont @theintercept publie aujourd’hui les principales conclusions. 🇫🇷 Sans surprise, cela ressemble beaucoup à ce qu’on voit en France. 🧵 Décryptage.👇

The constant rehashing of October 7 by Israel day after day is because it is literally the only day in Israeli history where we were the victims and not the perpetrators. It seems so wrong to us that we should ever suffer consequences for our behavior that we use it as an excuse for every atrocity imaginable.

Lots of pro-Israel types mad at the NYT publishing a detailed report on the systematic rape of Palestinian in Israeli custody. As if we didn't all see the guy who was filmed raping a prisoner get turned into a national celebrity on Israeli TV.

🚨Réserviste en #Israel : "On m’a dit que tuer les enfants [à #Gaza] était un devoir religieux, parce qu’une fois grands, ils deviendront des terroristes. Cet état d’esprit détermine tout ce qui se passe aujourd’hui" #genocide lemonde.fr/international/…

The @NYTimes when it thinks Palestinians raped Israelis yet cannot find any victims, forensic evidence or eye-witness testimony: ➡️ Hires 2 new reporters w little journalism experience ➡️ Provides them unlimited budget, time & resources to interview every single rape crisis center in Israel, every everyone who might know something, yet still couldn't find any victims. (that should have been the headline: we couldn't find any rape victims.) ➡️ Schwartz told interviewees the point of the article was to present Israel in a positive light. ➡️ Jeffrey Gettleman, the lead author, said the point of the investigation was not to assess the veracity of testimonies collected, but rather to present a story to move people [to support a genocide]. ➡️ Raz Cohen, a key witness in the piece, had already changed his story at least 3 times before cited it as fact. ➡️ The family of the main character of the story, Gal Abdush, rejected the accusation that she was raped, claiming “the media invented” the entire thing. ➡️The spokesperson of Kibbutz Be’eri also rejected the claim in the article that the sisters, Yahel and Noiya Sharabi, were raped. ➡️The paper relied on Zaka testimonies, the organization that intentionally spread insidious lies about Oct. 7 ➡️ Nevertheless, the article was a front-page article, a blockbuster report The @NYTimes when it knows Israelis raped Palestinians: ➡️ Calls it an opinion piece, despite citing dozens of rape survivors, UN & medical reports, and Israeli human rights organizations and despite video evidence ➡️ Waits for 2.5 years of genocide to publish anything substantial on the topic ➡️ Makes sure to mention the fake mass rape hoax in the first graph The editorial board of the NYTimes is soaking in the blood of tens of thousands of Palestinian children.

This is pure evil. Over half of Palestinian kids in lsraeIi detention report r*pe, sexual assault, or being forced to watch it,genitals grabbed, stripped naked, threatened with gang r*pe. How do we let lDF do this to children in 2026? Heartbreaking and infuriating.

Israeli drone chased and struck a man on a scooter with his 12 year old daughter, killing the father. The little girl ran, wounded, ran and was hunted by the drone and struck again. She has succumbed to her wounds.
