The detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist involved in organizing at Columbia University, is the result of more than a year of pro-Israeli think-tank propaganda and lobbying efforts to tie the students to Hamas and erode free speech protections in the United States.
At least 183 Palestinian children have been killed since Tuesday morning following Israel’s latest offensive, breaking the ceasefire agreement. Here are a few of them
An investment firm headed by Jared Kushner and backed by Saudi Arabia, Qatar & the UAE is the largest shareholder in an Israeli company holds shares in businesses accused by the UN of operating in illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Massacre in Gaza had Trump’s approval; Israel refuses ceasefire phase 2, which would give them what they’re asking for; Israel orders another emergency evacuation; Israel attacks UN head for “moral bankruptcy”; more.
Palestinian activist and green card holder Mahmoud Khalil speaks out from Louisiana immigration detention for first time
Mahmoud Khalil’s case is eerily similar to that of the L.A. Eight, in which a group of students were targeted, not because of any criminal activity but because of their speech.
Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson is the largest financier of Trump’s three presidential campaigns. Tax documents reveal that she is directly overseeing a social media campaign targeting Khalil and Columbia University
Columbia, which manages & awards the Pulitzer prize, put someone who advocated killing Arab civilians in a position of power, helping determine who in journalism is worthy of its highest award, and creating an atmosphere on campus that makes clear to its Palestinian students that they are unworthy of normal protections under the laws of war.
It is President Trump and his administration, beholden to the Israel lobby, that must be held responsible for every Palestinian death from here on out.
The Republican Party is gradually becoming a pro-peace, America-first party, but the warmongers & neocons are not going to let go so easily. Unfortunately many of these dead-enders have found their way to senior positions in Trump’s Administration, with voices of restraint & non-intervention nearly nowhere in sight among his top tier of advisors.
