Mosab Abu Toha on Substack Rest in peace, little one. The doctors triedβ€”but U.S. bombs are too heavy. No hands could lift death from your chest.

Anyone who supports Israel is an accomplice to this murder.

This Pro-Israel Silicon Valley Bro Just Went Viral for Islamophobic Tweets About Zohran Mamdani Meet Shaun Maguire, the multi-millionaire tech VC embracing anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian hate as Silicon Valley pours money into US and Israeli defense startups.

β€œThe Silicon Valley tech industry is becoming more and more aligned with the US war machine, and figures like Maguire are at the center of this shift, leveraging anti-Muslim racism to justify their investments in dystopian militarized tech and imperial violence.”

How the Assad Regime Buried Its Victims in a Mass Grave in Syria (Gift Article) A cemetery near Damascus was transformed into an industrial-scale mass grave for Syrians who opposed President Bashar al-Assad.

So much work must be done too identify the hundreds of thousands of victims, and hold the perpetrators accountable.

My Fellow New York Jews and I Know Zohran Mamdani Does Not Threaten Us It's time we all speak out against Jewish self-victimization and not fall into the trap of Islamophobic tropes.

From today’s must read: β€œTo put it bluntly, when you have a "feeling" that a politician from a different race, ethnicity or religion threatens you, … and you ignore the avalanche of evidence – … – that no such threat exists, that feeling you have is called racism.”

Why Haven't Democratic Party Leaders Condemned Eric Adams’ β€œEnd Antisemitism Party" Stunt? Adams created a political party to avoid a primary by exploiting Jewish pain with little pushback from Democratic Party leaders.

TL/DR: Centrist Democrats are resorting to racism and Islamophobia in order to defend their comfortable lives as the well paid employees of billionaire oligarchs

YouTube video by CNN Erin Burnett asks Zohran Mamdani what it means to be a Democratic Socialist. Hear his response

I call out shitty mainstream media all the time, so let’s now praise proper journalism. Erin Burnett sits down and interviews Zohran Mamdani, Democratic nominee for NY Mayor and actually asks substantive, fair and important questions.

Sorry Islamophobes, I'm a Proud Muslim American and, Like Zohran Mamdani, I'm Not Going Anywhere The insanely bigoted attacks on Mamdani are out of control and designed to intimidate a vulnerable minority community – but they will fail.

β€œSo I take it back. Much has changed since 2012. And it has changed for the worse. Today, Islamophobia is much more prevalent, much more vicious, and much more mainstream in American public life.”

Are you silent about this? Do you think I/we don’t notice?

This Is The Beginning of The End of The 9/11 Era Capital and nativism will fight even harder against Zohran Mamdani now. But in capital's seat of power, socialism defeated barbarism. I fucking love New York

Jewish Zionist New Yorkers are losing their shit over (insert gasp) a potential progressive Muslim mayor, and are willing to support a sex pest as the alternative. We will find out the results soon enough!

Report: Gaza’s aid compounds function as military zones, not humanitarian centres A newly published report has raised serious concerns about the purpose and legality of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid

According to this Israel govt study, Israel has killed 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza, out of 2.3 million.

Zionism gave the Jewish people a country after the Holocaust: a new Germany, circa 1944. Mazel Tov to American Jewish Zionists. Genocide is your Birthright!
