🚨Help Free 16-year-old Palestinian American Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim from Israeli Prison🚨

So much of what’s happening in Palestine feels out of our control, but this is a chance to make a real, material difference.

Yesterday I spoke with Mohammed's father, Zaher, about his son and their fight to free him from Israel's notoriously brutal Megiddo prison. I’ll be sharing clips from that interview along with tools to send letters to Huckabee, Rubio, and your Senators. His family is worried for his life and completely desperate to get him home, and they believe enough public pressure could actually move the US gov't to action. Please look for the links below, and share widely.

"They took my son away. We can do nothing about that. But can you give us something back, give us some happiness back? Can you at least get Muhammad out of jail?”

Here’s Mohammed’s father—and uncle of Sayfollah Musallet, who was beaten to death by settlers last month—recounting what Sayfollah’s father told Mike Huckabee when the two men met him: one seeking justice for his murdered son, the other fighting to free his son from military detention.

Pausing the video clips to share two forms that make it easy to email Huckabee, Rubio, and your Senators. Please fill them out ASAP—it takes just minutes—and share with everyone you know.

The family spends half of every day trying to reach recently released prisoners from Megiddo who might know something about Mohammed. In recent months, two healthy young men from his prison block have died—one, a 17-year-old from disease; the other, a 20-year-old beaten to death. When the latter died, they spent five agonizing hours trying to find out if it was him. Frankly, the family has good reason to fear for his life.

Here’s Mohammed’s father and sister talking about what he’s like—really just a normal kid! Just before the Israeli military abducted him, he’d been in California visiting his sister to help with her newborn. That’s them on the right.

On the 20 masked soldiers who stormed their house in the middle of the night, blindfolding and tying up Mohammed before taking him away and telling the family nothing. He is now wasting away in prison, down at least 25 pounds and covered in scabies. His family hasn't been able to speak with him since he was abducted in February.

On learning his nephew, Sayfollah, was beaten to death by settlers last month. Mohammed had planned to spend the summer with him in Florida, working together at the family’s ice cream shop. They don’t know if Mohammed even knows he was murdered. That’s them in the photo: Sayfollah on the left, Mohammed the little guy in the middle.

Mohammed is accused of throwing a rock. Not of hitting anyone. Not of throwing it at a car. Just throwing a rock. He's facing three years in prison, but his trial has been delayed three separate times, and nothing is currently scheduled. A single phone call from Trump or Huckabee could get him out.

On Tuesday, for the first time, a reporter asked the State Department what they’re doing to free Mohammed from Israel’s illegal detention. The spokesperson’s response was a complete non-answer.

Please help bring the little guy in blue back to his family. They fear for his life and are desperate to have him home. I’m allowing myself the slightest hope that with enough pressure, we can make it happen. Here are the two forms to contact your representatives again:

Explain it to me like I’m five: if the one thing drawing protesters to synagogues is settlement fairs, isn’t it reasonable to assume their issue is with the settlement fairs? If they were showing up at any random synagogues, that would be different. But they are not

The discourse is so fucking stupid. Deal with the facts

It cannot be said enough that Jewish activists in the West Bank are treated with nothing but kindness, because they’re not trying to kill the local residents. It’s very simple

This creep started attacking me after I posted that Chabad is complicit in genocide, but that this in no way justified an ISIS massacre at a public Hanukkah event they hosted.

Now, he has been frantically smearing me for 24 hours straight because I advised Cameron Kasky to get to the West Bank by way of Tel Aviv, where he’d be less likely to get turned away than he would through Jordan. This is the same advice he was given by the many Palestinians I put him in touch with. I wouldn’t expect ‘Bad Empanada’ to know such things, since he admitted he’s never attempted to visit Palestine since they’d “never let him in.”

To be clear, this person knows nothing about me and has gotten virtually every detail of my life and work wrong. The lies and smears are tedious enough, but it’s the pathetic bravado of someone who records YouTube videos from his basement all day that really gets me.

A miserable, cynical liar of the first order who cares about no one but himself.

It is unfortunate that people like this have any platform at all, but I take great comfort in knowing that there are Palestinians all across the West Bank who consider me family, and who would laugh this fucking loser right out of town.

Literally nothing about this is correct lol. Just bizarre

🧵 For the past two years, I’ve been reporting on how Israel uses archaeology as a tool of land theft and de facto annexation in the West Bank. Today, Ynet published an inside account from the IDF’s archaeology unit—the Israeli Civil Administration’s Staff Office for Archaeology—describing a “dramatic transformation” that has accelerated in recent years. “Today, we would never give up. Any place I want to excavate, I excavate.”

Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, recently seen sporting a gold noose on his lapel, has no time for euphemisms: Israel’s archaeological project, he says, is about "uncovering our ownership of this land.” Like I wrote before, "an effective machine for converting archaeological discovery into territorial power." (2nd screenshot from my writing.)

The doubled budget and new resources and authority are meant to affect "not only the future, but also the past."

Or, in my own words: The struggle over the ruins is also a struggle over "the history those ruins speak to, and what they say about who gets to live on this land.”

I have some incredible news to share. Today, after 9.5 agonizing months, Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim was released from Israel’s Ofer Prison and into his father’s arms. The Israeli military had no right to take him in the first place, and the family credits the relentless grassroots campaign that kept up the diplomatic pressure to free him. He’s in rough shape, but okay, and on his way to the hospital for treatment. Once he’s discharged, his mom, dad, brother, and sisters will have his favorite meal and a very belated 16th-birthday celebration waiting for him at home. I’ll share more details soon.

Now that Mohammed is free, the family is asking all his supporters to keep fighting for the hundreds of Palestinian children still unjustly trapped in Israeli military prisons.

The family requests privacy for now.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone — lots to be thankful for.

Mohammed seeing his father for the first time.

Mohammed did not know that his first cousin, Sayfollah Musallet, had been beaten to death by settlers in July. It was one of the big questions hanging over his release. They just told him now. Bittersweet day, to say the least.

🧵A fascinating—and revealing—Hebrew-only piece today in the settlers’ outlet Arutz Sheva, written by extremist settler Elisha Yered, laying out the settlers’ systematic strategy of building illegal outposts on Palestinian land to expand Jewish control of the West Bank.

He starts by noting that every faction of the settler movement—from the violent hilltop youths to the leaders of the official settlement councils—works in close coordination. So much for the idea of a few fringe extremists.

He dives right into the debate I’ve been tweeting about recently: those who believe in ethnic cleansing through authorized, state-backed settlement construction vs. those who believe they need to be completely unshackled from the state to seize land on their own terms.

Day after the attack: Peaceful olive farming across Turmus’ayya today. The Israeli army is going around to different fields asking farmers if they’re okay (lol). Normally I wouldn’t share a video like this, but idk… I feel like it’s a reminder that real boots on the ground reporting can have an impact?

We are at the exact scene of the attack. At the very end of this video an Israeli police commander shows up. He recognized me and wants to ask me a few questions… they’re “investigating” yesterday’s violence.

Ran into the Israeli soldier who offered me safe passage before jetting as the settlers arrived. He saw the video too and was very very sorry it happened.
