“More has changed in three years than I ever could have imagined would happen in my lifetime”
I spoke with Rashid Khalidi about shifts in public opinion toward Israel — and his 30-year fight against a U.S. embassy on his family's stolen land in Jerusalem:

"There is no real consensus vision anymore. There is no national strategy. There is no plan."
I spoke with @omarrahman about the crisis in Palestinian leadership, as Palestinians face existential threats but also maintain unprecedented global support:

The conversation builds on the excellent dossier that Omar and @MouinRabbani co-edited for the @ME_Council:

Born in PA, Israel's US Ambassador Yechiel Leiter was once part of the far-right Jewish Defense League, before joining the fascist political party Kach and becoming a leader in the settlement movement.
This is who's leading Israel's talks with Lebanon.

"Freedom of expression is not just a principle. It’s something you feel in your pulse, your posture, the way your chest expands when you realize you don’t have to measure every word."
A beautiful, wrenching essay from @rrevoolution on Palestinian identity

New investigation from @972mag and @mekomit:
The Israeli army is using a crude algorithm to declare Gaza neighborhoods as evacuated and carry out airstrikes — despite knowing that the areas are still filled with civilians.

Voters' support for Palestinian rights is far higher than the Democratic establishment has acknowledged.
Yet despite positioning themselves as the party of democracy, most Democrats have failed to signal any shift towards Israel.

NEW: ‘Render it unusable’: Israel’s mission of total urban destruction, a joint investigation from @972mag and @mekomit
Bulldozers and explosives are flattening Gaza from the ground — what soldiers say is a systematic campaign to make the Strip unlivable:

“If it’s not for us to continue living,” Dorgham wrote at the beginning of 2024, “then preserve our deeds, names, and images. Write on our graves in bold letters: ‘Here lies one who loved life but could not reach it.’”
Dorgham Qreaiqea led film, theater, and painting projects for children in Gaza with an unshakeable belief in the power of art to transcend the war. An Israeli airstrike killed him.

"It’s clear that it wasn’t the content of the jokes that landed Nidal in trouble. [Palestinian citizens] are simply not allowed to make fun of the same things Jewish comedians joke about. And believe me, they’re telling a lot of jokes."

I spoke with @zahahassan about "Suppressing Dissent" — a new edited volume from @CarnegieMEP — and the long history of U.S. and Israeli government efforts to quell pro-Palestine speech.

NEW: Israel deliberately used bunker-buster bombs to collapse tunnels under Gaza and flood them with lethal gas — decimating Palestinian neighborhoods and suffocating several Israeli hostages.
Huge revelations from @yuval_abraham for @972mag and @mekomit:

Since the ceasefire, few Palestinians have gone back to Rafah, where Israeli forces on the border are still firing at civilians. Those who have barely recognize their own homes.
@ruwaidaamer8 reports on the return to Gaza's southernmost city for @972mag:

"This ceasefire will reduce the intensity of Israel’s killing spree, but it is likely to usher in a grueling new phase of this ongoing genocide — one that is fully supported by the incoming Trump administration."

After international outcry and a High Court ruling, Israel's notorious Sde Teiman camp has been converted into a transit facility. But at Ofer Camp, the torture of Gazan detainees continues.

"In Philadelphia and across the U.S., progressive young voters rejected the idea that domestic priorities must be tied to a destructive policy abroad."

New from @972mag:
Trump's Israel advisors promise to advance a 'Greater Israel' agenda, from annexation to eradicating UNRWA.
I spoke with @LaraFriedmanDC about why we should take them at their word — and why Democrats won't stand in their way.

A former staffer, @LGreenbergCall feels betrayed by Biden and Harris on Gaza. But she argues that progressive movements and voters — who would suffer the most under Trump — cannot abdicate their limited power within the Democratic Party.

Since taking over the ticket in July, Kamala Harris has been lauded for her "greater empathy" toward Palestinians.
But @tksshawa argues that this facade of concern for Palestinian suffering has only diluted pressure to end the war.

Just days ago, Israel was relying on and coordinating with UNRWA to carry out the second round of a polio vaccination drive in Gaza.
Now, it has outlawed the organization — with potentially catastrophic consequences for Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and across the region.
BREAKING: The Israeli Knesset is scheduled to vote on the UNRWA bills today, Mon. 28 Oct. The Knesset will begin its session today at 16:00 Jerusalem time, with the UNWRA bills listed for second and third readings on the agenda. The bills aim to shut down the operations and functioning of UNRWA and would severely undermine the essential services provided by UNRWA to Palestinian refugees throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Adalah's legal analysis of the bills: adalah.org/en/content/view/1…
This encapsulates Israel's paradoxical relationship with UNRWA, as I argued recently in @972mag.
In fact, some security officials opposed the ban b/c of UNRWA's role in preventing an even worse crisis in Gaza — one that could force Israel to end the war.

As the IDF besieges northern Gaza, right-wing Israelis are urging their gov't to annex and ethnically cleanse the Strip to make way for Jewish settlement.
