State Department spokesperson Ned Price is asked whether Palestinians have a right to self-defense similar to Israel. You can guess the response.

Illegal and repressive measures like those experienced by Nawal Tamimi and her daughter Janna in the Palestinian village Nabi Saleh call attention to how the occupation strips Palestinian mothers of their ability to parent their children in safe, healthy, and violence-free environments. They illuminate the ways in which mothers must respond to the unrelenting challenges of life under occupation while simultaneously raising children under state violence.

Progressive House members are calling on the State Department to investigate whether U.S. aid to Israel is being used in the forced displacement of Palestinians from Jerusalem in violation of U.S. law.

Israeli forces killed 20 Palestinians, including nine children in an airstrike on the northern Gaza Strip on Monday evening, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported, as tensions escalated over Israeli aggression at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem. During the day Monday, hundreds of Palestinians were injured as Israeli forces continued their assault on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in occupied East Jerusalem, following several days of police violence and protests in the city.

The erasure of Palestinian life has been ongoing since the start of the Nakba in 1948. This erasure is material — massacre-propelled ethnic cleansing — but it is also narrative.

US media bury the truth of Palestinian protests in Jerusalem: Israeli leaders aim to seize homes in Sheikh Jarrah in a naked colonization strategy: “the way to secure the future of Jerusalem as a Jewish capital for the Jewish people,” as one apartheid advocate who happens to be the deputy mayor of Jerusalem told the New York Times.

Young Palestinians are growing up to find themselves inevitable targets of Israeli Apartheid and it is this new generation of Palestinians that is leading the struggle for Sheikh Jarrah. They are young, uncompromising, and, thanks to social media, better connected than ever before.

As U.S. State Department calls on Palestine and Israel to “deescalate” tensions in Jerusalem, the US progressive movement and several politicians blame Israel for the violence.

Hundreds of Palestinians were injured and dozens were hospitalized on Friday night across the city of Jerusalem, as Israeli forces stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and continued to crackdown on protests against the imminent evictions of Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah. The violence that erupted on Friday was the culmination of weeks of rising tensions in the city and across the occupied Palestinian territory.

After B’Tselem’s ground-breaking reporting accusing Israel of practicing apartheid, Human Rights Watch follows suit. But have either credited the Palestinians who made the claim first?
