Israel lies again; Israel detained 1,200 children in West Bank since Oct. 7, 2023; UN extends Francesca Albanese’s mandate despite pro-Israel pushback; pro-Palestine employees make noise over Microsoft AI use by Israeli military

Intellectual honesty is about confronting those things that make us uncomfortable, not ignoring them. Israel arrests Palestinian children; see 7 of the many videos of these actions. The US gives Israel over $10 million per day and Congress is currently considering legislation to give Israel even more. That makes it obligatory for Americans to learn the facts, and act on them.
