Hillary Clinton: "there should be no doubt in anyone's mind how seriously netanyahu has damaged, first and foremost, Israel... and second, the perception that people, not just in the United States, but around the world, have of Israel. And that has to be repaired." To rephrase, the victims of Israel's genocide of the Palestinians are FIRST AND FOREMOST the Israelis who have suffered the reputational damage.

Eitan Newman, a 17-year-old Israeli, grills one of Apartheid Israel's most genocidal politicians, on an Israeli TV program called "First Vote" in an August 2, 2026 interview. It's a rare moment in Hebrew media when a genocidal Israeli politician is forced to defend genocide on live TV. Here's a condensced transcript: Newman: Call it what you want, ethnic cleansing, transfer, voluntary emigration, fine. So, I want to ask you, what will happen to the Gazan who doesn't want to emigrate? Will IDF soldiers pile him onto a truck and expel him? Where will they take him? What will you do to him? Feiglin: First of all, the vast majority of them want to leave, okay? Newman: I asked about those who don't want to leave. Feiglin: We need to encourage them to leave, because whoever doesn't leave will murder you. Newman: That's not what I asked. I asked, what will you do to someone you wanted to leave and doesn't leave. Feiglin: You'll make him leave. Newman: What does "make" mean? Feiglin: Every way possible. We'll shut off his water pipes, for example. Just an example. Newman: And whoever doesn't leave can die, as far as you're concerned? Feiglin: Then he'll be thirsty. He'll have to leave to drink a cup of water. Just an example. Newman: So, for example, kind of kill off everyone? Silence Newman: Yes? Like everyone should die? Either they go or they die? Are they not human? Feiglin: It's pretty stunning, excuse me, that after October 7, you treat us like murderers and that Islamo-Nazi terror entity like it's under attack. Forgive me. Newman: I'm asking about your policy. I'm trying to understand what will happen if you're elected to the Knesset. Feiglin: You know, I have a grandson your age, okay? His brother lies right now beneath a grave marker because of such questions. Newman: So, I'm like responsible for his killing? Is that what you're saying? Feiglin: No, I'm saying that your twisted worldview, which pursues the human rights of that murderous entity, led in the end to that disaster. Newman: So, everyone should die. Two million people will die. However many you say are there, they should die. Feiglin: I'm suggesting to you that you also listen to the person you're asking, not only to yourself. Source:

Rubio: "Israel's made clear they have no interest in governing Gaza, they have no interest in occupying Gaza long term (Oct. 5, 2025) Netanyahu: "We are now in control of 60% of Gaza. We were at 50%. Now we've moved to 60%. My directive is to move to 70%" (May 28, 2026)

"I was raised with the belief that Israel is my homeland. And at some point it occurred to me that you have millions of Palestinians around the world, whose parents & grandparents are from Palestine, born & raised in Palestine, speak Arabic, have a strong connection to their homeland... ...yet they cannot go to Palestine. They are prevented from entering Palestine because they have the incorrect religion / ethnicity. Whereas me, an American Jew, who may or may not speak a word of Hebrew or Arabic, may or may not know anyone in the country, have no family connections, I have a "birthright" to go live there because it's my "homeland." Does that make any sense to you?"

Dr. Mimi Syed reports that Israel asked foreign doctors to evacuate the Nasser Hospital in Gaza before bombing it today. Israel knows as long as they kill Palestinian doctors & journalists rather than foreign ones they can carry on with the genocide, business as usual.

130 years ago, Jews & Muslims exchanged gifts on Passover. Jewish & Muslim kids played together in the same courtyards Jews, Muslims & Christians lived & shopped together & merged their holidays together. And then Zionism destroyed it all. source:

Dr. Norman G. Finkelstein on the so-called "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" aid sites: "How do they distribute the food? You know how they distribute it? They throw it on the floor and then people are supposed to run for it, to reduce them to rats. Whenever I read about that, it reminds me in the concentration camps, the food they put in the giant vat, it's almost all water. I'm referring to World War II now. It's almost all water, but there are few vegetables, a few vegetables in that vat of soup. And so, what can you imagine? the people who are lining up, they're pushing each other. They're shoving each other because you have to get to the head of the line or it's just water. And that's what they do to the people of Gaza, reducing them to scurrying rats. And then as they go for the food, the Israelis because they're scared, they're afraid, they start shooting at the people, killing them as they scramble and scurry for the food." Full talk:

This clip is very revealing: Mario Nawfal: "I speak to Israelis, it's a civil society. They're great people. They're, you know, they're not barbarians. So that's why for me it just I struggled to understand how soldiers could shoot you know the the doctor I'm interviewing shortly he would say stories how he'd get patients multiple patients all of them shot in the groin or multiple kids shot in the head or neck ... ... is I don't know it just doesn't register for some reason I don't know why." There is this willful desire to disbelieve Palestinians, to disbelieve doctors going into Gaza, because "I've met Israelis.. it's a civil society ... they are not barbarians." I think had Mario visited Nazi Germany in 1942 he would have complemented Germany on its high culture and that Germans were great people.

Meet Saleem Elrayes, Gaza's #1 antique dealer. For 30yrs+, Saleem has collected private papers, rare books, manuscripts & historical documents from the people of Gaza relating to the history of Palestine. Shortly before Oct 7, I was fortunate enough to visit his shop in Gaza City. I purchased 100s of documents dating from the 1910s-1960s. Since Oct. 7th, the Israeli military bombed Saleem's home. Saleem believes his shop, which housed the literary heritage of the Palestinian people of Gaza, has been destroyed during Israel's genocidal rampage. I'm sharing 200+ documents I received from Saleem for the first time now. You can download them for free in the "Gaza Collection" here, in the folder titled "ملف غير محدد" In total, the Gaza Collection now includes 600+ documents, all of them purchased from Saleem. Here's a video with Saleem, taken on October 2nd, 2023, from Saleem's home (which is now rubble), where he is explaining one of the documents in the collection:

As can be seen in the video, dozens of armed Israeli settlers and soldiers attacked Palestinians. One of the Israeli attackers approaches a Palestinian, starts smacking him with his gun, and the Palestinian man is seen defending himself, and the next thing you can hear is gunfire.... 4 Palestinians killed, 1 Israeli killed. What Hebrew media initially reported as a terrorist attack against a Jew was actually the opposite: It was an Israeli setter-terrorist attack against Palestinians.

"Hamas is not going to be eradicated no matter what Israel does in Gaza. Even if Israel defeats Hamas's entire military network, even if it kills every Hamas fighter, Hamas continues as a political movement, Hamas continues to have support, not a majority, but a certain amount of support. The idea that b/c of what Hamas did on Oct. 7th, it is excluded from Palestinian governance, is an Israeli, European & American fantasy. You do not negotiate with the people who have already agreed to your terms. You couldn't do that in Ireland, you had to bring the IRA in, you couldn't do that in South Africa, you had to bring the ANC in, you couldn't do that in Algeria, you had bring the FLN in. These groups that had carried out horrific attacks against civilians, they were described as terrorists or bandits, but the only people you really need to negotiate with are the people with the guns. Until that fact gets through the thick skulls of people in Washington & London & Paris, we are not going anywhere." - Rashid Khalidi

On the antisemitism "task forces" established at the most prestigious universities in the US: "When they create anti-Semitism commissions to study anti-Semitism on campus, which are basically designed to keep politicians & donors & Jewish organizations happy, they can't hire their own Jewish faculty who study anti-Semitism to be on the anti-Semitism task force... ...because these people actually know too much about anti-Semitism ... and what really is and isn't anti-Semitism. Those people get left off the committee. So at the University of Pennsylvania the guy who was in charge of the anti-Semitism task force is the head of the dental school. Sure he's a lovely man right but he's a dentist I'm sorry. At UCLA, it's a guy who studies real estate finance. These very universities you have Jewish Scholars who study anti-Semitism but they can't be put on the committee because their definitive anti-Semitism won't fulfill the purpose of these task forces which is to create a pretext for censoring and shutting down Pro Palestinian speech." -Peter Beinart
