"It's crazy what people think about Israel" Gal Gadot discusses how she dealt with interviewers' questions about her home country early in her career. Her go-to? Telling those interested to visit! That's exactly why Free Palestine always tries to boycott Gal. They know people who listen to her might actually decide to go and learn for themselves.

"We don't want no Zionists here" Democratic Congressional candidate Brad Lander, who is Jewish, is cursed at and thrown out of a protest in NYC. Lander went along with extreme rhetoric against Israel and AIPAC during the primary to win votes, something he admitted made him "queasy" because it played into antisemitism. Maybe the fact that he's being harassed anyway is a sign that next time, he should just stick to campaigning on his actual views.

An Israeli man and an American man got into a fight at an airport in Manila 🇵🇭. The Israeli man alleges that the American man called him a baby killer and said: "Too bad Hitler didn't finish the job." As long as antisemitism continues to be accepted under the false label of anti-Zionism, we will continue to see more stories like this.

"I don't think you are sloppy. I think you know exactly what you are doing." Here's the moment I told a room filled with anti-Israel Oxford students about how my Iraqi and Tunisian family were ethnically cleansed from their homes. My history isn't up for debate.

Spanish 🇪🇸 commentator refuses to introduce Israeli 🇮🇱 athlete. RTVE commentators had no issue introducing the athletes at the European Athletics Championship, until it was Omri Shiff's turn. Trying to deal their own sort of punishment, the commentators spoke on a different athlete while the camera slowly passed by the Shiff of Israel. As soon as the next competitor was on screen, they resumed introductions. Omri's name was never said. The omission spoke volumes. But he exists, representing his home. There is no crime for that.

"The international consensus changing and it is no longer with Zionism. It is with Palestine.” Speaking in Mexico City 🇲🇽, Angela Davis spoke about positive feelings changing from Zionism to Free Palestine. That is the truth, if you accept the outlandish, distorted definition of Zionism that non-Jews tout. I'll also point out that this "change in consensus" she is so gleeful about was brought about after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and a devastating war in Gaza. I suppose it was a small price to pay in her mind. Anything to feel morally superior to others and nothing to actually strive for peace.

An Israeli 🇮🇱 family visiting Thailand 🇹🇭 was excited to go to the zoo. Their young daughters had been anxiously awaiting the visit. The attendant selling tickets was kind and personable. She even asked them where they were visiting from. And then they said Israel. Suddenly, they couldn't visit the zoo. In fact, she called over an aggressive employee who, as you can see, headbutted the mother in the neck. So, I want to ask a question. Not to my usual audience, but to those who despise me. Are you actually going to tell me that you think it is acceptable to assault a mother in front of her children because of the land they were born in? Honestly?

A father out with his children in London was being harassed by a man when a bystander decided to swoop in. The man immediately turns on the woman, asking her if she's okay with them "stealing their heritage." But she stands tall and continues to try to talk him down. A moment like this is truly beautiful to witness. People standing up for each other in shared humanity.

U.S. Congressional candidate Scott Wiener was harassed by a Free Palestine activist. 🇺🇸 Scott, who is Jewish, had changed his stance on Israel, parroting the typical Free Palestine rhetoric, in order to get easy votes. It turns out, to nobody's surprise, that he still isn't spared from falling under the "Zionist" label that the Free Palestine crowd uses.

A boy in Belfast, Ireland 🇮🇪 is pulled up on stage and asked if there is anything he wants to say. He leads the crowd in a chant of "Free Palestine." I'm not going to say he was coached, because I have no proof of that, but I'll ask: if you were to ask him what exactly Free Palestine meant, do you think he'd have an answer?

An American Jewish woman living in Barcelona reached out to me, saying that she and her wife were denied entry last night to a thermal bath, reportedly because they are Jewish. She documented the exchange on video and filed a report with the Mossos d’Esquadra afterwards. What's even more heartbreaking is how bystanders chose to stay silent during the exchange. Their lack of action only enabled what seemed to be a moment void of humanity. Shame on all of them.

It was Arab societies—the exact ones he names, in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Yemen—who violently forced out ancient Jewish communities, telling them they weren't Arab and thus didn't belong. It was Israel that offered them refuge in a world that looked away. I know that history, because it happened to my Mizrahi family. And I'll spend the rest of my life ensuring it never gets erased.

Israeli researchers have made another medical breakthrough. Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a blood test that can diagnose lung cancer with over 90% accuracy. Right now, lung cancer is diagnosed with detailed imaging, physical exams, and tissue samples, usually only after symptoms appear. The test the Israelis made, which is extremely low cost, finds the diagnosis in a mere 2-3 days with no invasive procedures while the disease is at its most easily treatable (but harder to detect) stage.

Free Palestine protesters at the Sydney marathon yesterday said they wouldn't let Israeli soldiers "hijack" the marathon to "whitewash their war crimes." The delegation of Israelis they were protesting came to run and raise money for Shalva, an organization that helps people with disabilities. Ironically, the protesters attacked a disability support organization that helps both Arabs and Jews, and even has a special program dedicated to doing outreach to Palestinians in East Jerusalem. Maybe if they want to help Palestinians so much, they should just donate. But I guess yelling at Jews is more fun.

"For 40 minutes, hundreds of people insulted us and spat on us” 7 Jews from France were surrounded by a crowd at the Barcelona port and subjected to antisemitic chants, spitting, and humiliation for about 40 minutes. A woman displaying Free Palestine symbols shouted at them, and other people later joined her. Jimmy Zagron, one of the Jews who was attacked, said that at first the chants were "Free Palestine." Later the chants became more antisemitic, such as "baby killers," "Jews are not welcome here," "Zionists are not welcome here,” and "Death to Israel.” "There was an enormous crowd of people around us," he said. They tried to clarify that they were French, not Israeli, but it made no difference. The attack comes after another similar attack in which a Jewish group was chased in Barcelona. Is Spain🇪🇸 really just going to accept this is the new normal? Jewish people being attacked in the street for no reason?

“Death to the IDF!” “Free Palestine!” “From the river to the sea!” The crowd at #Glastonbury is ecstatic by the thought of genocide, they chant for ethnic cleansing and stripping Jews of their protection. All in the name of fighting for humanity. It feels like the 1930’s.
