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.

For Israeli police, humiliating Palestinian women is a tool of collective repression - https://www.972mag.com/israeli-police-palestinian-women-humiliation-arrests/

But I guess if you're stupid enough to ignore Trump's anti-Semitism, there's really no reason to have a problem with Musk's. Y'all have already sold your souls to the devil(s).

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”

“I can not say that all forces in the IDF are the most moral in the world”
“IDF does not deal well with extremists”
“The IDF is not committing ethnic cleansing, the government is”
“I didn’t come out against the IDF, who ever framed it that way cut the interview”

This is the most-read piece on @theatlantic.com. It should be the most-read piece. You should all read it, even though it may make you sad. Here’s a gift link so you can read it.

Two things:
1- This is a photo taken today of the new military checkpoint which families from Beit Lahia and Jabalia and Beit Hanoun must go through when they evacuate. That’s where two in laws of mine were kidnapped along with two cousins of my wife.

Check comments below:

When a military operation
-Displaces almost entire society and forces it into unsafe shelters
-Severely limits access to food, water, fuel
-Destroys most housing and public infrastructure inc hospitals
-Offers no plan for alternative governance

It inevitably leads to the eradication of that society

Netanyahu’s boycott of Haaretz won’t stop us reporting the grim truth about Israel’s wars | Aluf Benn Unlike most Israeli news outlets, my paper shows the suffering in Gaza and Lebanon. That’s why the government has targeted us * Aluf Benn is the editor-in-chief of Haaretz “Truth is the first casualty of war” goes the old cliche, but like any other…

Haaretz will survive Netanyahu’s illegal attack. But Israelis who want to live in a democracy must understand that this clampdown on journalism is just a waystation in a well documented autocratic playbook

Amen to that

The Leak Scandal Roiling Israel Netanyahu’s spokesperson stands accused of revealing secrets for political gain.

Useful piece here on the Netanyahu office leake scandal, based on the indictment which was published last week www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Exactly, the Hebrew speakers just aren't here.

Unfortunately, if I want to get speedy updates from the Middle East, it's still on Twitter.
