The attack in Manchester is evidence not of a rising tide of antisemitism but of something else entirely: a growing and dangerous political illiteracy being cultivated in our societies
Israeli forces kill 52 Palestinians in Gaza, including 26 aid seekers; at least 222 have died of starvation; Israel kills Anas al-Sharif and colleagues; Israel bombed journalist tent hours after Netanyahu said he would let foreign media in; Israel’s arms industry thrives on genocide; UK mass arrests
Israel and its military trample Palestinian human rights on a daily basis. Here are just a few headlines from the last week that U.S. media ignored.
The International Middle East Media Center reports on the ongoing acts of Israeli injustice and violence that most other media don’t bother with. Not a day goes by – including holidays – without abductions, settler brutality, shootings, and often even deaths.
Organizers of the Great March of Return are seeking worldwide support for a Women’s March to take place on July 3, 2018, just 1 day before Americans celebrate our freedom. They call on women across the globe to hold solidarity events in their own countries.
Palestinians are not alone in their struggle for the right of return. Some Jewish and Israeli organizations raise their voices for justice.
Today, unarmed Gazans died by the dozens simultaneously with a star-studded celebration in Jerusalem. American pastors John Hagee and Robert Jeffress, well-known bigots, preached and prayed. Donald Trump was practically worshiped. No amount of spin could turn this debacle into a genuinely admirable day for Israel.
This report from the UN OCHA-oPt details the number killed & injured during the Great March of Return, discloses Gaza’s struggle to deal with casualties, & itemizes its critical needs – medical personnel, medicine, access to treatment, & staff to help with documentation, legal issues, and mental health counseling.
