Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.

This family was chased and executed from the air by an Israeli drone today while trying to flee South Lebanon. A father. A mother. Two baby boys.

This has been going on for 80 years, and heavily documented. The NYTimes finally scraped together enough integrity to publish something.

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…

Israeli settlers blocked children in Masafer Yatta from playing football on their village field threatened with demolition. The settlers sat before them chanting in Hebrew to intimidate them, while the children watched helplessly. How much longer will this continue?

a country that doesn’t punish this kind of behavior must be punished itself- weapons embargo and bds are the floor btw. meanwhile in the western world, the only people who get punished are those who call this evil out.

Horrific: Video shows an Israeli settler deliberately blocking the path of a Palestinian ambulance on a road in southern Nablus in the West Bank while it was transporting a critically ill person.

Private equity takes anything that people love, makes it unaffordable while also making it categorically worse, and then the executives laugh in our face while enjoying their insane profits.
Douglas Farrar@DouglasLFarrar

Private equity rolled up the bowling industry and turned what was functionally a family friendly community center into a shitty, expensive casino. They weren't shy about it either. One of their executives said they wanted to raise the price of EVERYTHING.

Hillel at @TheNewSchool was found to have taken money from mandatory student fees and used it to support specific units in the IDF known for notorious war crimes. I think doing that should itself be a crime, but the audacity to think there is some natural right you have to take other people’s student fee funds and spend them on war crimes is mind blowing. Hillel can’t raise its own funds to support units carrying out war crimes?

Despicable news. NYC’s @TheNewSchool student senate has voted to suspend Hillel’s funding & collaboration. Hillel is the center of Jewish life on campus. Not a word, of course, from NYC’s “antisemitism czar” @phylisajoy who appears to be on a perpetual “listening tour” serving as Mamdani’s official token Jew.

This is astonishing and should be reported by every media outlet in the country. David Cameron, the then Foreign Secretary, reportedly threatened to defund the ICC and withdraw from the Rome Statute if an arrest warrant for Netanyahu was issued. Cameron must be investigated.

"[David Cameron] threatened to defund the International Criminal Court... if you moved forward with the Israeli arrest warrants." ICC prosecutor Karim Khan reveals how former UK Prime Minister David Cameron threatened to defund the International Criminal Court.
