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)

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.

US Rep. Jared Moskowitz was asked if he'll take AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱 money. His response: "Yeah. Am I going to take donations from Jewish Americans? Yes, I am going to take donations from Jewish Americans. Okay. And that's what AIPAC. It is not anything other than Jewish Americans donating through an organization just like there are a number of packs, very progressive packs by the way in which very progressive people donate through a pack and that pack gives. And so this is part the singling out of just the Jewish organization. By the way, I don't even think they make the top hundred of pack donations uh in in the country yet They're being singled out. So yes, Jim, I will continue to take donations from Jewish Americans who care about America." source:

"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?"

Israel operates the most well-documented network of rape dungeons on earth. Ali Abunimah: "I want to contrast that with what the same UN Secretary General's report says about the sexual violence against Palestinians. The headline finding from his report to the security council is that the UN actually verified conflict related sexual violence including rape and torture by Israeli forces against 31 Palestinians from Gaza in the West Bank. The victims were 14 men, 7 women, 9 boys and 1 girl. The crimes that the UN verified included and this is going to be very graphic. I warn people in advance: Rape, rape with objects, gang rape, attempted rape, forced nudity, threats of rape, unwanted touching of breasts and genitals, genital violence, targeted shooting of the genitals, and strip and cavity searches without apparent justification. Rape and gang rape, sometimes repeated, were verified against 9 victims, most of them from Gaza. The perpetrators identified by the UN include the Israeli army, the Israel prison service, its Keter special forces, and Yamam, the police counter terrorism unit. These abuses took place mainly during detention and interrogation at prisons and detention sites including Etzion, Megiddo, Offer, Ramla, Hasharon, and the Gushkon police station. The victims included journalists and human rights defenders. Some of the violations were filmed or photographed, including one rape. Men and boys were subjected to rape, attempted rape, and genital violence. 5 male victims suffered severe rectal bleeding or swelling for days or weeks, in some cases without medical treatment. So this is what the UN's report says about the 31 cases and it stresses that these are 31 cases that it verified but that there are many many more cases, where there are strong allegations that it could not yet verify, and that is, again, largely due to obstruction by Israel because Israel refuses to allow uh UN access to its detention centers or to allow investigators into Gaza where many of those detainees were released back after lengthy detention. And again, this is entirely consistent with other independent reporting which is all based on firsthand accounts and medical evidence such as the Euro-Med Monitor report I mentioned which contains utterly horrific firsthand accounts. We've written about that as well. And you find nothing analogous on the Israeli side. Absolutely nothing analogous. you find these vague uh uh accusations, these very uh sweeping general statements, but no really specific well documented cases. Briahna Joy Gray: "I think that it is so important that you did what you just did...."

On Israel's rape dungeons: "We documented 40 forms of torture & 7 forms of sexual violence. The forms of sexual violence include rape, threats of rape, forced nudity, assaults on genitals, verbal & physical harassment & also coerced exposure to rape where Israeli soldiers force other detinees to witness the rape." -Maha Hussaini via the Electronic Intifada & Ali Abunimah

"Let me read the The Guardian's analysis directly: 1,100 Palestinian civilians. Over 275 children. Murdered executed, shot, beaten, run over & not a single Israeli, not 1 soldier, not 1 settler, not 1 police officer, has been prosecuted. 0. Nothing. This is not a failure of the justice system. This is the justice system. Because when Palestinians submit complaints, and they do, they file thousands of them, less than 1% end in indictments. Let me put that in perspective. If you are a Palestinian in the West Bank and an Israeli settler shoots your father in front of you, you have a 1% chance of even seeing an investigation. You have a 0% chance of seeing a conviction. Now, imagine the opposite. If a Palestinian throws a stone at an Israeli soldier, military court, indefinite detention, possibly death, that is not a conflict. That is a racial hierarchy. That is aparthied." This is what the genocide apologists were so proud about yesterday in New York. Apartheid. Full video: via Nael (That Guy You Know)

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:

"Since October 7th, only two Israeli soldiers have been held accountable for atrocities in Gaza. One of them was for microwaving a frog, a living frog & microwaving it alive. The judge sentenced him to about 20 days in military prison. Only 20 days. And the judge wrote in the ruling that when a soldier puts a living frog in a microwave and burns it alive, that displays a cruelty or a tendency towards cruelty that basically constitutes risks towards other humans. The judge is a complete lunatic. Nut job. There's another case of two soldiers that were sentenced, I think similarly, to 20 days in military prison because they cooked sausages on Shabbat in the military kitchen. So they violated the Shabbat Orthodox ruling against using fire on Shabbat. So they were sentenced to 20day in prison. Nobody else was ever sentenced to a single day in prison over two and a half years of genocide that is live streamed that is posted by those soldiers." Muhammad Shehada via Katie Halper

An American Israeli, Caroline Glick, has been appointed by Netanyahu to look into the possibility of expelling Palestinians to Somaliland & the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mouin Rabbani: "Imagine for example, that a dual Iranian American citizen would be hired by the Islamic Republic to encourage what would be called the voluntary permanent immigration of Kurds or Christians or whatever from Iran. There would be universal outrage. Everyone would be talking about it. There would be lawsuits. There would be threats of prosecution and imprisonment and so on. But for a US citizen to formally serve in the Israeli government and to serve in a position whose very definition constitutes a war crime and a crime against humanity is apparently the most normal thing in the world." source:

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.

"This is the first Saudi crown prince to ever entertain the prospect of normalization with the Israelis. This is the first Saudi crown prince to tell Fox News we are getting closer to normalization with Israel every day. This is the first Saudi ruler to open Saudi airspace to Israeli commercial jets. This is the first Saudi leader to ever allow Israeli teams to participate in tournaments on Saudi soil. This is the first Saudi leader to allow Israelis to go to Medina and record videos there." Sami Hamdi سامي الهاشمي الحامدي via Mario Nawfal In return, Israel is doing everything in its power to reignite the war with Iran which will further sabotage all the Gulf economies, including Saudi, ruin their energy infrastructure and risk state collapse. If you give Israel an inch, they'll try to wipe your country off the face of the earth. 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:

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:

At the end of the passover seder, Jews say "next year in Jerusalem." Zionists often think this means the passover seder written more than a millenium ago is a Zionist manifesto. Turns out, this is a myth! If you live in Jerusalem, you also say "next year in Jerusalem." That's because the "Jerusalem" mentioned at the end of the Seder is not a reference to the present day city of Jerusalem, it's a reference to a Jerusalem that would be governed by a resurrected King David, in which god's oneness would be revealed to the entire world, where the wolf lays down with the lamb. It's a spiritual reference, referring to the days when the Messiah will return. Zionism is the most reliable way to obfuscate Judaism.
