A few videos of last night’s attack, when violent settlers invaded umm al-khair to plant Israeli flags and try to steal another tract of land. Take note of all the cheap shots. Throwing a tiny female activist to the ground. Knees to the groin. Kicking someone while hiding behind a friend. Taking a shot at my throat. And then scampering to the IDF when they arrived to cry victim. To be clear — the Palestinians and their allies did not ask for this confrontation, and did not throw a single punch back, which would have resulted in an immediate arrest if not murder. All they want is to be left alone in their tiny peaceful village.

Attack on Umm al-Khair at 1am. Maybe 30 settlers, some with machine guns, invaded the village, trying to push fence back and plant Israeli flags. Throwing chairs, poles, razor wire. Army arrived to do absolutely nothing.

I spent an afternoon in a Bedouin community near Taybeh, following this settler around as he circled a shed with two small children inside, throwing rocks at it, attempting to cut water pipes, and driving his herd of camels to ravage the olive trees.

Today in Umm al-Khair, Majd got caught in settlers’ barbed wire while trying to retrieve a soccer ball that had rolled onto land they recently seized. Make sure to watch the videos in the quote-tweet as a reminder of what a child's life is supposed to look like.

More good news today. Mohammed’s family brought together the families of his co-defendants—the three Palestinian (non-American) kids arrested on the same bogus allegation—connected them with their lawyer, and used Mohammed’s deal as leverage for their release. They just walked out of prison and were reunited with their families. This was the quiet plan all along. Three more kids freed from Israeli military detention; 356 to go. Onward.

Watch Jonathan Greenblatt’s face as he hears the definition of genocide—moments after agreeing his job requires “clarity on the use of words”—then admits he’s never read the definition before. Unbelievable. He should be out of a job by Monday.

I am in al-Mazra’a al-Sharqiya with Zaher Ibrahim, the father of Mohammed Ibrahim—the 16-year-old Palestinian American held in Israeli prison for eight months—where the family is hoping to spot a miracle on an upcoming hostage exchange list.

I need to right a wrong. Mohammed thinks the photos circulating with the campaign to free him were bad, and that I’ve been posting embarrassing photos and videos of him all week, so here’s one where he looks objectively cool.

October 17: Zaher, Mohammed’s father, watched video after video of families reuniting during last month’s prisoner release. He and the family were crushed that Mohammed wasn’t among them, but they still couldn’t look away. Surreal to watch it again after today.

Instead of seeing his own son for the first time since February, Zaher is watching videos of other prisoners being released. It’s completely insane that Mohammed wasn’t first on the list. Where are you Ambassador Mike Huckabee Secretary Marco Rubio? End this madness and bring him home.
