Props to Senator @ChrisVanHollen America and the Democratic Party need more like him.

One year since 2024 cessation of hostilities in Lebanon The UN recorded over 7,500 air violations with ~669 airstrikes (2 airstrikes per day) and almost 2,500 ground violations with ~1,200 ground military operations north the Blue Line. The UN recorded 0 violations from Lebanon

Kudos to @ChrisVanHollen for doing something extremely rare in American politics: Defending an American citizen when they are kidnapped, shot or killed by Israel. It's bizarrely unusual to see an American politician prioritizing an American over that one foreign country:

This place—called the only child prison in the world—is situated in Israel. The prison stands in Israel is a monument of Zionist values: fear, control, and the systematic destruction of Palestinian hope.

🚨 Watch: Footage from Palestine National TV shows Israeli soldiers executing two detained Palestinians in cold blood during a raid in Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank today. Their hands were raised, they posed no threat, and Israeli soldiers murdered them anyway.

Summary Executions in occupied West Bank: Earlier today, Israeli occupation forces executed two young men after detaining them near #Jenin refugee camp following a military raid in the northern West Bank. This is a war crime and part of a pattern across the occupied territory.

IDF murder gang this morning in Jenin, West Bank, didn’t realize they were on camera.

This you?

Israeli soldiers crushed a young Palestinian, kept his body trapped under their vehicle, & prevented people from aiding him until he bled to death... then demanded his family pay $28,000 in "compensation for the jeep damage" This was 10 YEARS ago. Cruelty is always the point!

Israeli settler terrorists attacked the village of Al-Rashayda near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, followed by a raid by the Israeli army, who fired tear gas toward a kindergarten — leaving children crying and terrified as gas filled the area. This is state-backed terror.

Horrifying that some people think denying the Holocaust helps Palestine. It doesn’t. Atrocity denial just begets more atrocity denial. The Holocaust is real. The Gaza genocide is real. It is monstrous to deny either.

Since the “ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip took effect on 10 October 2025, Israel has killed at least 345 Palestinians there, including at least 119 children, and wounded about 889. The World Food Programme (WFP) reported this past week that it managed to bring into the Strip only

Israel made sure to block all temporary shelters from coming into Gaza, after making sure to destroy every conceivable permanent shelter in Gaza. This has nothing to do with Hamas and nothing to do with October 7. There a no reason to deny children shelter aside from pure sadism.

Terrifying reports keep coming from Gaza as Hamas launched a sweeping crackdown across the Strip since the so-called "ceasefire" took effect. Activists and civilians describe arbitrary arrests, torture, enforced disappearances, and killings carried out in silence, while the

"Hamas did not count on the courage of the IDF." To the extent that IDF killed Hamas militants, it was mostly through the air force. What kind of "courage" did it take to be an IAF pilot in Gaza? Certainly less than the courage it takes to drive a car. Hamas has zero

@EVKontorovich Falluja suffered heavy damage but no comparison to Gaza. The stills show Fallujah right after liberation. Compare to the video of Gaza. Night and day. Gaza only happens when there is a concerted plan to destroy everything necessary for human life.

@RabbiAviWeiss @ZohranKMamdani @NefeshBNefesh In your fantasy world, where do the Palestinians, the original inhabitants of the land fit in? Or do they at all? This is the problem. The lack of compassion or consideration for a group of people who have been through hell since 1948.

Since the ceasefire in Lebanon, Israel has killed 331 people in Lebanon and injured 995. Since the ceasefire in Gaza, Israel has killed 318 Palestinians and 788 Palestinians have been reported injured. Remember that next time Israel says someone else violated the ceasefire.

I have felt so angry for Rahmehs awful treatment by her profession for her human rights activism, but this comment is disgusting. Having humanity only works if it’s universal. We can&should stand with all communities under vile oppression without letting other communities down.

It says a lot — none of it surprising — that the Obamas haven’t done anything to distance themselves from their psychotic racist former speechwriter.
