If Amnesty International can call it what it is, so can the media.
“It is ethnic cleansing.”
Israel’s apartheid system is turning the olive harvest into a season of horror for families in the occupied West Bank. This is state-sponsored brutality. It is ethnic cleansing.

Israel's election was not a choice between genocide and anything better. It was a contest over who can manage apartheid, mass murder and land theft more efficiently — and sell it to Western liberals, writes @AliAbunimah

U.S. politicians: “israel is the only democracy in the middle east ♥️”
netanyahu’s son: “allowing brown people to vote is an existential threat”
צריך לומר את האמת. תוצאות הבחירות מוכיחות שרוב ערביי ישראל המוסלמים מזדהים כפלסטינים, מצדיקים את הטרור נגדנו, רוצים להעיף מפה את כל היהודים, שואפים להשמיד את המדינה היהודית, ולהקים מדינת פלסטינית ערבית אסלאמית על חורבותיה. זוהי בעיה קיומית לא פחות מהגרעין האיראני. החוק הישראלי (סעיף 7 א לחוק יסוד הכנסת ) מאוד ברור ואוסר על מפלגות תומכות טרור שפוסלות את ישראל כמדינה יהודית לרוץ בכנסת. הסיבה שהן כן בכנסת היא שבגצ רוקן את החוק מתוכן ומכשיר את הריצה שלהן בניגוד לחוק.

Hi @GovMikeHuckabee what are you doing about this? A foreign country's citizens and military assaulting and wrongfully detaining a US journalist? What happened to 'America First'?
Hi, I'm free.
Beat up but fine. Police stole my phone. Settlers punched me in the face several times, likely broke @AdeleShoko's wrist and gave @the_andrey_x a concussion. They threatened to shoot us with an assault rifle over and over.
Will tell the full story later, but for now, I just want to be clear about what happened. We witnessed two settlers locking a military gate in Umm al-Khair, blocking the only way to more than twenty Palestinian communities: trapping families inside, preventing students from reaching school and workers from their jobs, blocking delivery of food and access to ambulances, etc.
It's a crime that the military has this ability at all--but last night, we discovered that random settler terrorists also have the key. We confronted them and began asking questions on camera, and they nearly murdered us for it. When the police finally arrived, they arrested Andrey and me and charged us with assault.
The gate is still locked.

Israel carried a strike on a car in al-Maghazi Camp. Two people were killed.
There were identified as Ibrahim Abu Ishiba and Ihab Abu Taqiyya.

Israel allows 2 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship (who did not become refugees in 1948) to vote and run for office while it denies that right to 6+ million it has kept under a brutal illegal occupation for nearly 60 years.
That is not democracy. It is Apartheid.
Israel’s Arab citizens, men and women, are turning out in historic numbers to vote. They can vote, run for office, and serve in the Knesset, rights denied to many Arabs and women across much of the Middle East.
Our critical ally in the fight against terror, Israel, is the only democracy in the region, and today shows it.
Israel is still bombing refugee camps in Gaza, the genocide is still happening.
One Palestinian has been killed by an Israeli strike that targeted the Halawa camp, one of the largest displacement camps in northern Gaza, medical staff have reported.

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
Here, in this land that is unfit for human life, among the rubble and ruins of homes, hundreds of thousands of people holding Palestinian nationality live without any of the basic necessities of life. Even beasts could not survive here.
A video the world must never forget.

In Michigan w/ @AbdulElSayed. It’s the most important election in my lifetime, raising so many critical issues: dark money can be beaten, the progressive agenda can win, anti-Muslim hate can be defeated, & the right to criticize Israel w/out fear of being smeared.
