*hundreds of soldiers. Before this, Israel had only seized non-residential land, and the daily soldier raids involved a handful of jeeps (though they were still violent and sometimes deadly). Today was a full-on military invasion with people being dragged out of their homes.

What do you want to know?.

A disaster is unfolding in Sebastia. Hundreds of Israeli forces just stormed into the quiet village, teargassed and beat residents, and began evicting families from their homes to make way for building an archaeological theme park. Have never heard my source sound like this.

If more US politicians followed @ChrisVanHollen and @SenJeffMerkley’s lead and pushed to make freeing this American child from our ally’s military prison a national issue, he’d be back in Florida by Monday. Sure seems like a political layup to me.

@ChrisVanHollen @SenJeffMerkley @USAmbIsrael @mtgreenee @RepMTG @ChrisVanHollen @SenJeffMerkley, please provide an update on what your efforts will look like when you get a chance.

@ChrisVanHollen @SenJeffMerkley @USAmbIsrael @mtgreenee @RepMTG For those just learning about Mohammed's case, you can hear directly from his family here:

@ChrisVanHollen @SenJeffMerkley @USAmbIsrael @mtgreenee @RepMTG you should press Ambassador Mike Huckabee to free 16-year-old American Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim from Israeli military detention. He's been imprisoned for 6 months on accusations he threw a rock on an empty street. He’s lost 25% of his body weight, has scabies,

@ChrisVanHollen @SenJeffMerkley @USAmbIsrael The best chance 16-year-old Mohammed has of being released from Israeli military detention is if prominent politicians in Washington take up his case in a sustained, meaningful way. I hope this is the start of that, and not a flash in the pan.

.@ChrisVanHollen and @SenJeffMerkley just met in Ramallah with the parents of Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim and Sayfollah Musallet, along with families of other Americans killed in the WB. Pledged to press @USAmbIsrael to demand Israel free Mohammed and deliver justice for the others.

.@USRepKCastor finally speaks up about her imprisoned 16-year-old constituent but forgets to name his jailer.

It’s just treated as an inevitability that the genocide must grind on.

Feels like it should be a bigger story that Hamas accepted a ceasefire proposal over a week ago, and Israel just fully ignored it.

"The Prime Minister chose to define the attack as a 'tragic accident' and apologize to the world, a move that undermined Israeli propaganda." (translated from hasbara.)

RT @ytirawi: Yes, you read it right. Channel 14 reported that Sayeret Golani, who ordered the mass slaughter of civilians and journalists….

.@JGedeon1, who first reported on Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim’s case last month, shares new updates in the article below. Mohammed’s next hearing is set for October 29, but I can confirm his lawyer is still pushing for a deal that would secure his immediate release.

Your 16-year-old constituent is being deprived of health care in Israeli military detention as we speak. @USRepKCastor, we are anxiously awaiting your statement demanding the @StateDept intervene to free Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim. Today would be a great day for it.
