It's hard to believe how history can repeat itself even more harshly. I never thought I'd see scenes from the movie 'The Pianist' come to life before my eyes, especially this scene. I've been trying to shake off the image from my mind all day, but I can't seem to.💔🇵🇸

"The only democracy in the Middle East"
Israel is set to deport a Jewish American activist who reported an Israeli settler who ran over a five-year-old Palestinian girl in the South Hebron Hills two days ago. They arrested and deported the activist who reported the crime—not the criminal.

The "only democracy in the Middle East"
It's obvious the IDF not only killed, but intentionally killed (murdered), Hind Rajab. Leaving aside the - overwhelming - specific evidence in this case, we have a pattern: Israeli ground troops in Gaza were allowed to shoot every Palestinian they encountered in "kill zones."

"Self defense"
David Mcintosh, who worked at Gaza aid sites, shares his footage showing the scale of destruction in Gaza. It’s been absolutely obliterated. Horrendous. https://t.co/DfsA0uwALM

This spring we are hosting a six-week reading seminar on the great Romantic poets: Rilke, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, and Shelley. Each week we will gather to discuss a selection of poems in a close reading, tracing themes, and asking why these works still speak to us now.

Chief rabbi of the Israeli Occupation Forces
In 2002, Rabbi Eyal Karim said soldiers are allowed to rape non-jewish women in wartime. He said the Torah permitted jews to 'satisfy the evil inclination by lying with attractive Gentile women against their will'. In 2016, he was made chief rabbi of the IOF. He still is.

It's now 2 and a half years with ZERO JOURNALISTS permitted in Gaza.
It's now 2 and a half years with ZERO JOURNALISTS permitted in Gaza. This is without precedence in any conflict. And that's because it wasn't and isn't a conflict it was and still is a barbaric slaughter. Israel will not let the world see their evil. And the world sits by.

"Please… speak about the prisoners. Every minute they endure is real suffering that no one sees." --Dr. M.H.
During the difficult days of my detention… one sudden day, the soldiers ordered us to lie face down with our hands tied above our heads. Within seconds, they stormed the prison, which resembled a poultry barn, with loud noises and barking dogs. When a dog stepped on my back, I
