A new Reut Group study on anti-Zionism’s steady gains in U.S. discourse sounds like reefer madness of an Islamophobic character: There’s an “Islamo-leftist” coalition of progressives allying with Muslims associated with “Muslim Brotherhood organizations” that are “driven by a vision of establishing an Islamic Caliphate.” Who knew! Jewish progressives have taken this new order to heart, and they “undermine” Jewish “identity, values, narrative, and relations with Israel.”

Members of the Salhiya family in the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah faced off against Israeli police on Monday morning, as Israeli forces attempted to forcibly remove them from their home. A number of the young men in the family barricaded themselves on the roof of the home in an effort to stop the removal, and several news outlets quoted Mahmoud Salhiya as saying that he would set himself on fire and blow the house with the gas tank if the eviction was carried out.

The Dutch Government lately deferred to the Israeli government in deciding to defund the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, a leading Palestinian civil society group, because its failure to screen its staff and board on the grounds of their political opinion and affiliation is considered “undesirable” and displays a “lack of candour” by the organisation. That is the sole basis put forward by the Dutch government to terminate funding which started in 2007.

The Nation runs a righwing religious endorsement of Zionism in an apparent sop to its New York base. The article opposes BDS, citing Jewish fears stemming from Nazis and “centuries of forced exile from a historic homeland.” And leaves out the forced expulsion of Palestinians from their land. And anyone who doesn’t acknowledge that Jewish connection is “goysplaining” to Jews, Alexis Grenell writes.

Hisham Abu Hawash’s hunger strike will go down in the history of Palestinian resistance as one of the longest and, arguably, most consequential.

Udi Aloni reflects on his new film, “Why is We Americans?” and how meeting the Baraka family in Newark, NJ gave him the opportunity to finally learn about the America he wanted to be a part of.

Videos and photos of Israeli police violently suppressing Palestinian Bedouins in the Naqab have been flooding social media, as the campaign to #savethenaqab gained momentum amidst growing Israeli efforts to forcibly expel Palestinians from their lands. 

During their time in The White House the Trump administration helped negotiate a number of arms deals between Israel and other authoritarian governments, while cutting the Palestinians out of the process completely. This is sometimes hilariously referred to as a “peace plan”, but people usually roll with something less Orwellian and call it “The Abraham Accords.”

Covid-19 cases and positivity rates are rising in the occupied Palestinian territories, mostly from travelers who returned from abroad. Cases in Gaza are leading, and an increasing threat to the health care systems and hospitals is looming on the horizon, Jewish Voice for Peace’s Health Advisory Council reports.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has released new evidence about an anti-Muslim group’s web of spys and their connections to the Israeli government
