@gbenaharon asks: Where should I go as an Israeli pacifist? “If both home and abroad demand allegiance over inquiry, and purity over complexity, what space is left for someone who stands for the right of both Palestinians and Israelis to live on the land?”

Too Israeli to be a victim and too resistant to be a patriot—I’m in exile, even when I’m at home.

Hjemme er jeg hatet – fordi jeg er imot Israels krigføring. Utenlands er jeg ikke lenger velkommen – fordi jeg er israeler.

A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

Mahmoud is one of the most brilliant, decent people I've ever met. The raid on his bookstore is despicable. Why do we allow this behavior from a state that speaks in our name? What could be more antithetical to Jewish tradition than confiscating books?
As we continue to learn details about the arrest of Mahmoud Muna in jerusalem tonight. Here are some photos from the scene. The one on the left is the books they confiscated, the one on the right how they left the bookstore.

תקראו כדי להבין לאן הגענו: היום פשטו שוטרים על שתי החנויות של Educational Bookshop במזרח ירושלים, החרימו ספרים ועצרו את הבעלים (צו החיפוש ניתן ע"י השופטת חוי טוקר). אחיו של אחד הבעלים מספר: "הם עברו עם גוגל טרנסלייט על הספרים וכל מה שלא מצא חן בעינהם הם לקחו. הם אפילו נתקלו>>

Today Israeli undercover forces raided both branches of the Educational Bookshop, a well-respected Palestinian institution in Jerusalem. After an hour search, they confiscated English and Arabic books, and detained the owners Ahmad Muna and Mahmoud Muna.

Lebanon: One MP casts a ballot for Bernie Sanders for President. Speaker Nabih Berri goes “what?” Unfortunately Bernie is not eligible for the position as he is not a Maronite Christian.

ישראל 2024: ח׳ליל, סטודנט לרפואה ותושב כרמית, שיחק כדורגל במגרש המקומי עם שני חבריו, גם הם סטודנטים לרפואה ממיתר הסמוכה. אישה גזענית הסיתה נגדם והזעיקה את כיתת הכוננות, שהתנהגו בגסות וגזענות ודרשו לגרש אותם: “אתם לא שייכים לכאן”. אחד מאנשי הכוננות אף דחף את ח׳ליל עם נשקו, בזמן
