For Israeli police, humiliating Palestinian women is the point
Political arrests of Palestinian women in Israel — who face strip-searches, blindfolding, and doxxing — send the community a clear message.

I know so many Jewish Trump supporters who must also be fans of Musk. I'm wondering how their brains are trying to convince themselves it's OK that Musk wants AFD to win the German election.

🧵 Former Israeli Defense Minister, Bogie Ya’alon, made a lot of noise this week with his remarks on ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Tonight he came on the popular ‘Ofira and Levinson’ show and sort of held on? I’m a bit confused, tbh… “The people of Israel don't understand what is going on in Gaza”

This has echoes of Russia and TV2. In April, Knesset passed law granting ministers ability to shut down foreign media outlets. Not hard to foresee expansion to local outlets. With Ha’aretz— Israel’s longest running paper— whose title literally means ”the land” having to move operations outside of it

A veto in the UN. An arms embargo that fails in the Senate. Over 100 Palestinians killed in 24 hours, most of them in one apartment building in Beit Lahia. One day that sums up Biden's legacy pretty well.
