Netanyahu is set to arrive in NYC on Thursday for the UN General Assembly – where he is expected to defend his warmongering in Iran and Gaza. Activists led by the Palestinian Youth Movement, Jewish Voice for Peace, and the Democratic Socialists of America, among others – have planned a mass protest.

Cover of the September-October issue of Mother Jones Magazine: a white background with the words "50 years of fearless journalism" in black print, centered above the name/logo of the magazine in large Bright Red. Below that in black, the words "the southern strategy — jim crow was dead and buried. Then came the Roberts court."

And then, framing those words, there are two sets of robes: to the left, the simple black robes of the Judicial Branch of the United States Government, as a Supreme Court Justice might wear; to the right, the white robes and hood of the KKK.

🇵🇸 A 15-year-old Palestinian boy remains unconscious in intensive care and may lose his right foot after Israel denied him treatment in prison as his health collapsed, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club said.

Mohammed Hamid developed scabies in Israeli custody, but prison authorities withheld necessary care even as his condition deteriorated. He was then returned to prison in critical condition, where severe infections spread to his heart and brain.

Only after he reached a life-threatening stage did Israeli authorities release him, in what the group described as an attempt to escape responsibility. Mohammed is now unconscious at Shaare Zedek Hospital, with doctors considering the amputation of his right foot.

The Prisoners’ Club said his case reflects a systematic Israeli policy of using medical neglect and deprivation of treatment as tools of “slow killing” against Palestinian prisoners, including children, within a prison system of torture and abuse that has escalated sharply since the start of the genocide.
