🚨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.Image

 "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.

🧵It's nice that the Times decided to cover the explosion of settler violence in the West Bank, but I'm going to tell you everything that's wrong with the article. Image The core issue is the framing. This isn’t about “extremist” settlers or isolated cases of “arson” and “land grabs.” These are the deliberate and inevitable results of a fundamental shift in West Bank governance—engineered by Smotrich and backed by Netanyahu—that set them in motion.Image

An off-duty IDF soldier shot and killed a Palestinian in Duma today. Same pattern as always: settlers set up an illegal outpost beside a village, carry out regular pogroms, Palestinians eventually confront them, and settlers and/or soldiers open fire. Image Israeli media immediately spins it as “Palestinian terrorists attacking a ‘Jewish farm’”—their cutesy name for outposts run by the most violent settlers. Soon enough, the government will send them more weapons to “protect themselves.” Image

Shit like this happens every single day in the West Bank: Israeli soldiers stopped a 25-year-old at a checkpoint in Sebastia, beat him, stole his phone, filmed him at gunpoint saying “I love Israel” and “I will do everything they ask of me,” then posted the video to his Facebook. Image The Azem family had me over for cookies and coffee last time I was in Sebastia. Kind, warm people who just want to live in peace.

An ex-Israeli spy tied to Iran-Contra who’s lobbied for Mugabe, Myanmar’s junta & Sudan’s generals is pushing to install a former PA official & businessman with ties to Trump allies as Gaza’s post-war governor, backed by $53B in Gulf money. Says it would be “good for the Jews.” Image Could be nothing or could be a very big story. Broken by @HashomrimOrg and @YediotAhronot.

Some highlights from @JGreenblattADL's interview with the New York Times incoming... Image @JGreenblattADL Of course, the @ADL counts tons of antizionist activity as antisemitism. But putting that aside, he admits he's bad at his job. Image

Update: A judge refused to extend Yinon Levi's house arrest because evidence the police gathered "strengthened Levi's claim" that "the shots he discharged from his pistol were not the shots that killed Hathaleen." I think we'll see footage of him back in Umm al-Khair any day now. She added that his claims of self-defense had been boosted by evidence collected from the “other side.” She said, “There is no argument that an incident of dozens of participants who threw stones toward the respondent was prevented.”

🧵My jaw is still on the fucking floor after reading Jenn Counter’s “Rules of Offensive Influence” — an unapologetic playbook for psychological warfare — that is published on Columbia’s website.

I'm going to share some excerpts, then post the whole thing.

As you read, keep in mind, Counter serves as both a “Subject Matter Expert” for Safe Reach Solutions — the firm overseeing GHF’s operations in Gaza — and, according to Columbia's website, a “Course Associate” in the Strategic Communications department at the School of Professional Studies. She introduces her 16 rules for "strategizing and implementing an influence campaign" by clarifying that "even tactical military propaganda should support a longer-term strategy and goal to be most impactful."

I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined. Image In Iraq, 285 journalists were killed in 22 years. That's 13 per year, compared to about 13 per month in Gaza. Source: Brown Costs of War Project watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/fil…

Oh I see—it's a coordinated rollout: the IDF, GHF, and complicit outlets like @Jerusalem_Post are all pushing the new line: yes, there's starvation, but it’s the UN’s fault for refusing to play nice with the GHF. Expect this talking point to be everywhere soon. The JPost article I’m referencing:

🧵The Israeli outlet @ynetnews just published a remarkable exposé of IDF commander testimonies that contradict Israel's official Gaza war narrative. Here are some of the most revealing excerpts... Image For starters, 2025 was "supposed to be a year of stabilization in the Gaza arena," and it has basically been a disaster. Image

I'm digging through one of the Columbia student antisemitism cases and found an IDF vet (Rubin) who says he fled campus because anti-Zionist stickers, pro-Palestine chants, and people saying Israel bombs hospitals made him feel unsafe Image

Hello. Did somebody say they needed a heartwarming story from the coronavirus era? Okay, fine.

Let me start by saying that I am not a particularly melodramatic guy, but I just don’t know how to tell this story without turning to pure mush. (1/11) For those who saw my post the other day… on Wednesday I went out for a walk in Domino Park after several days of feeling stir crazy and lonesome in my apt — in addition to everything going on, it’s been a rough few months for me personally. I HAD A TOUGH BREAKUP OKAY? (2/11)
