In 2017, despite daily horrors, one thing has visibly improved: the movement for justice in Palestine has grown enormously. Mondoweiss has published the work of more than 1,000 writers, artists, scholars and activists: A Thousand Voices for Truth!

The organization Friends of the IDF raised a record $53.8 million for the Israeli military last night at its annual Western Region Gala, hosted by Democratic Party mega-donors Haim and Cheryl Saban. The figure represents the most money raised at any single FIDF event in the organization’s history.

The Democratic groundswell against the Israel Anti Boycott bill continues to build, and progressive party leaders are falling into line. Senator Elizabeth Warren tells a town hall she does not support the Anti-Israel Boycott Act that is roiling the Democratic base.
Last year, we ran a satirical post titled “Birthright ends trips to Israel — ‘American Jews are better off imagining Israel than seeing it.’” Who could have known how right we were! Last month, Brand Israel Group released a study comparing a 2016 survey they did of Americans to one in 2010 and it shows the more Americans learn about Israel, the less they support it. This explains why Israel’s supporters fear the truth: people who learn about Israel’s actions understandably come to reject them. And that’s the core of Mondoweiss’s mission and our daily work. Please contribute today so that we can keep them shaking in their shoes.

So it was rather odd yesterday when Miller criticized President Obama’s decision to commute the sentence of Chelsea Manning by wondering, “How many people died because of Manning’s leak?” The quick answer is none, but the internet wasn’t going to let Miller off that easy.
