Giving Russia (presumably) enormous amounts of money with which they can fund their aggression against Ukraine in order to ease pressure on our own aggression against Iran (in defense of Israeli genocide in Gaza/Lebanon and Emirati genocide in Sudan) Dope as hell man, cool

When Hattab started Road Conditions, his odometer read 70,000 kilometers. Within four years it read 274,000, inside a territory barely 130 kilometers. It is the equivalent of driving around the Earth more than five times, without ever leaving the West Bank. www.wired.com/story/the-ma...

Israel killed more than 70,000 people, including 20,000 children. The Israeli campaign displaced almost all of Gaza’s 2.1 million people from their homes, laid waste to much of the territory including its hospitals, leaving the Strip with the highest proportion of child amputees in the world.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

He said more than 150 “settlers” attacked his property. I asked him whether that meant all the invaders in the West Bank had shown up at his home, since Netanyahu claims there are only 150 in total. Mustafa laughed because the number is actually considered to be in the thousands.

He and his wife were in danger of being attacked, but the invaders were scared off before Mustafa and his elderly wife were physically harmed. They are American citizens. This attack, like so many others that happen daily in the West Bank, was funded with your US taxpayer dollars.

Jewish Students Announce Boycott Of Columbia/Barnard Hillel As It Hosts Israeli Officials Who Demolish Palestinian Homes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, October 8
Media Contact: columbiabarnardivp@gmail.com
NEW YORK, NY - The day after October 7th, Columbia/Barnard (CB) Hillel's Kraft Center is holding an event with the Jerusalem Municipality, encouraging Jewish students to move to settlements on land Israel recently seized from Palestinians. Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) announces a boycott of CB Hillel, as long as the organization continues to support settler Zionism.
The group Hillel is hosting, the Jerusalem Municipality, demolished a residential building in al-Bustan, East Jerusalem, displacing two Palestinian households, according to a United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report from September 18. The Jerusalem Municipality also intends to demolish dozens of Palestinian housing units in al-Bustan. We condemn these demolitions as part of a sustained campaign of genocide against the Palestinians living in occupied East Jerusalem.
On October 6th, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gir shared footage of himself sitting in a bulldozer in occupied East Jerusalem and boasting about the demolition of Palestinian homes.
"CB Hillel's collaboration with the Jerusalem Municipality makes clear what many Jewish students on our campus have known for years: Columbia/Barnard Hillel would rather platform and encourage violent Israeli settler-colonialism than create a welcoming religious space for all," said a spokesperson for Columbia JVP. "As a Jewish student, I am disgusted Columbia has allowed Hillel to platform an organization actively displacing Palestinians, and demand that the University not only create a space where anti-Zionist Jewish students feel comfortable and welcome, but drop Columbia/Barnard Hillel once and for all."
While Columbia/Barnard Hillel claims to be a pluralistic space for Jewish life, its support of Zionism and normalization of …
