“I’m grieving the deaths of two Nazi soldiers killed today..”
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

BREAKING: Federal judge Kathleen Cardone, a Bush appointee, denies DHS request to allow Big Bend border wall construction to resume, citing the irreparable harm suffered if the project is allowed to continue.
DHS requested Judge Cardone lift the injunction, largely putting forth the same arguments that she had already rejected. DHS has indicated intentions to petition the Supreme Court to take this case, but even if they do, the outcome is not a given. The main argument we've used in our case--the Major Questions Doctrine--has been historically favored by conservative justices, some of whom are currently on the court.

it's been a week since Trump began targeting Ilhan Omar and, unlike the raid on Bolton last year which saw condemnations from NYT, WaPo, WSJ on Day 1, theres been zero editorials in these outlets condemning it. It also went totally unmentioned on all four Sunday shows yesterday.

They routinely SHOOT CHILDREN.
My god, what will it take for anyone to stop this??

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is ravenously taking over some of Texas’ most beloved public lands. New reporting from @Forrest4Trees reveals the company’s complete disregard for Boca Chica State Park: they want to privatize the entire park. Like the attempted transfer of Yosemite land to a private equity firm, this is another assault on protected public lands that could be lost forever just to enrich billionaires.
If she were Palestinian, this would barely make the news. Even if she’d been killed.

Israeli settlers and soldiers have been lynching Palestinians, burning them alive, torching mosques, destroying olive groves, stealing Palestinian land and emptying entire cities in the West Bank for decades. But it’s only “breaking news” when an American journalist is attacked.

Did you ever share your outrage over Israel’s slaughter of Palestinian journalists?

Heidi is going to be okay, but her injuries are significantly worse than initially thought. It appears that she may have been stabbed. She’s getting ready for surgery.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
The Israeli military changing the landscape of Gaza in Rafah and removing the traces of genocide.
A video that the world must never forget.

He saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists.
He and many other Palestinians who bravely risked their lives, defending their land.
Hey @the_andrey_x what was a masked Palestinian with a slingshot doing among you in that innocent "olive harvesting" at 1:29?

Sally Rooney's books can no longer be sold in Britain due to her support for Palestine Action.
She refused to withdraw her support for the direct action group which targeted the Israeli arms industry, costing her the royalties from all of her UK sales.
