Israeli soldiers invaded hundreds of Palestinian homes in Hebron over the course of 11 days, ultimately forcing 619 Palestinian families into homelessness.
Soldiers kicked them out of their homes and ransacked their belongings, stealing gold, electronics, and even perfume.
‘Every drawer was opened’: Palestinians report looting amid Israel’s Hebron siege
After Israeli soldiers ordered them to leave their homes and businesses, residents returned to find valuables missing and livelihoods destroyed.

More than 74,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been officially reported killed since October 2023, including more than 20,000 children. But even that staggering number does not capture the full scale of Israel’s killing.
Thousands more remain buried beneath rubble, while others have died from hunger, disease, exposure, and the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system after Israel destroyed homes, hospitals, schools, water systems, and other infrastructure. And counting the dead has only become harder as Israel has killed healthcare workers and journalists Palestinians rely on to document their own losses.
Palestinians should not have to prove the scale of their own destruction while they are still living through it.

Unicef spokesperson James Elder told reporters on Tuesday that Israel had rejected equipment needed to repair a key Gaza rainwater basin, warning that the facility could overflow and endanger nearby residents through flooding and disease.

“Yeah, that 14-year-old kid looked like he was thinking about maybe throwing a stone at the tank invading his town so we shot and killed him.”
This is the justification Israel openly offers the world for murdering children.

It should surprise no one that Trump was lying about ending taxpayer funding to Israel.
Not only are his allies in Congress trying to funnel our tax dollars to Israeli weapons companies through the Pentagon, but Israeli media is now reporting that Trump plans to maintain the current annual funding level to send at least another $19 billion to Israel over the next five years.
Members of Congress are not obligated to agree to this funding. They must strip it out of any future budgets.
Israel’s genocide has forced millions of Palestinians in Gaza into tent camps. Now, Israel’s blockade is preventing them from rebuilding the homes & infrastructure it destroyed.
As winter sets in, their suffering is not inevitable. It is the result of deliberate policy choices.

In 2024 multiple US federal agencies, including USAID and the State Department’s refugees bureau, determined Israel was blocking humanitarian aid under Blinken’s watch.
This should have triggered an immediate cutoff of weapons to Israel, according to US law.
Blinken lied to Congress about those facts to keep weapons flowing.
He’s lying again now.

A group of Israeli settlers have seized eight Palestinian homes on Wednesday in Jericho, located in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian sources reported that the settlers, accompanied by their families, stormed the eight homes, which were empty at the time of the raid
Palestinian children in Gaza are returning for their first formal school year since the start of Israel’s genocide.
That’s not stopping Israel from continuing to systematically target and shoot Gaza’s teachers and students.

“Al-Rantisi pointed to the detention of 9 other doctors during the same period, arguing that it was no coincidence but rather a clear message of intimidation directed at anyone who considers helping marginalized people and placing humanity above all other considerations.”

Israel destroyed or damaged 92% of homes in Gaza. Now it’s blocking tents from entering Gaza to shelter 2 million Palestinians from the harsh winter—as it has for 4 years in a row.
That policy killed at least 11 Palestinian children in Gaza last year by exposing them to hypothermia.

On Tuesday, Israel took Palestinian journalist Abed Abou Shhadeh captive for mobilizing the vote among Palestinian citizens of Israel. Today, they extended his detention.
Kidnapping journalists is a crime. Abed Abou Shhadeh must be released.

When Anthony Blinken was in charge, he chose to aid and abet Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its illegal war of aggression in south Lebanon.
Instead of enforcing US and international law, he chose to fast-track tens of billions of dollars in bombs to Israel and lied to Congress about Israel’s blatant starvation of Palestinians to keep the weapons flowing.
Trump’s war on Iran wouldn’t have been possible without the Biden administration enabling Israel at every turn. No one has less credibility than Blinken to be lecturing about how we show up in the world.
The midterm results send a clear message: How we show up in the world affects our lives at home, and Americans understand that. When we alienate allies, appease autocrats, impose arbitrary tariffs, and drive needless conflict, American families pay the price. The Administration’s actions over the last two years have had real consequences for our security, our economy, and our everyday lives. Americans have spoken loud and clear. We should act on the message they're sending. A good place to start: a diplomatic resolution to President Trump's war of choice with Iran.
More than a week and counting since Israeli elections and they still haven't figured out how to form a government. Why? Because neither Netanyahu nor the opposition want to work with Palestinian parties.

this is why I love working at @VanityFair
yesterday, I saw half our staff clustered around our fashion correspondent's desk poring over this photo. As José puts it, "The image has several discrepancies. The style and make of the Chanel Flap bag is inconsistent with others the brand has sold, and the Valentino shoes in question appear askew in proportion; their straps have several punched holes that the authentic Valentino style does not."
AI image detectors confirmed that yes, Olivia Reingold used an AI-generated image to make her point, without a drop of disclosure. Wild!!!!

“Who Killed Alex Odeh?”
More than four decades after Palestinian American activist Alex Odeh was assassinated in 1985, the Israeli extremists linked to his killing have never been brought to justice—not because US authorities don’t know who the suspects are, but because they have failed to hold them accountable.
William Youmans, co-director of “Who Killed Alex Odeh?,” joins Diana Buttu on This Is Palestine to discuss Odeh’s assassination and his family’s decades-long fight for justice.
